Episode 2: "CEO Entrepreneur."

"CEO Entrepreneur" [TALx02] is the second episode of The Adventurer's League.

The freshly made party dives head first into the bowels of Azamon, what will wait for them inside?...

## **Synopsis.**

### **Pave The Way, Put Your Back In To It.**

Diving headfirst through the portal created by the Yagnoloth, our party found themselves in the bowels of ***Azamon.*** Specifically, in the middle of the Azamon Break Room, directly in the midst of three ***Yagnoloths*** and two ***Bearded Devils***.

To avoid a brutal fight, Malchar and Tellan used some quick thinking to disguise themselves, with Malchar bluffing to be an Azamon New Hire who had arrived here for an interview. Luckily, this bluff worked and the lead Yagnoloth led them on a tour of the facility.

### **Tell Us Why, Show Us How.**

The guided tour of Azamon revealed plenty about the goings on within its mysterious walls; The workforce consisted of various demons, devils, and captured humanoids (Who were most certainly NOT slaves.)

### **Look at Where You Came From, Look At You Now.**

With some luck, Malchar's continued bluff earned himself and his friends an audience with the head of Azamon, Jeffar Bayzohz, within his massive treasure filled chamber.

Bayzhozh was very impressed with Malchar and his aspirations, and even offered him a job as Administrator of Returns and Customer Service, which oversaw the dispatching of Devils to kill those who broke Azamon's Contract.

This job offer came with its own contract, requiring a signature in blood which sold one's soul to Bayzohz and Azamon, revealing Jeffar to be an Arch-Devil, now under the name Beelbezos.

During Malchar's Internal Infernal Debate, Engel decided to strike up a conversation with Beelbezos and even expressed his own desire to have a job within Azamon, despite the lie that he was a prototype of the Azamon Reverb Home Unit. As honest as Engel was being in his desire, Beelbezos became suspicious to his intentions, rationalizing his fear of being usurped on his rise to power.

In an attempt to prove his loyalty, Beelbezos gave Engel the command to punch him, something a true Azamon Reverb Unit would not hesitate to do thanks to their unyielding loyalty. Unfortunately, Engel hesitated at this command.

Growing angry at this deception, Beelbezos began to lash out, but was cut short by the powerful light of Dawn cast by Tellan, causing him to explore into a brilliant shattering of coins.

### **C'Mon Jeffar, GET EM'**

Moment later, Beelbezos rose up, being made of the coins around him, revealing his form as a Gargantuan Treasure Dragon, and unleashed a brutal assault on the party, spewing coins from his toothy maw.

This battle did not go as well as the Arch-Devil had hoped, as he was flipped onto his back, paralyzed, and destroyed by the party with Tellan getting the killing blow in an intense display of Necromantic Power.

### **A Gift From a God.**

Following the battle, an Avatar of Death visited Tellan, granting him the Eight-Sided Stone of Salvation, an incredibly powerful and one of a kind artifact for his brave actions. In response, Tellan called upon his deity to transform the treasure room of Azamon into a temple as a symbol of gratitude. Kelemvor complied to his cleric's request and transformed the treasure room into a temple to itself.

Leaving the room, the party discovered that the Azamon facility was now mostly abandoned, as with Beelbezos's

* Leaving the room, the party discovered an empty Azamon facility, as with the death of Beelbezos, all contracts has been dissolved.
* Freeing the humanoids trapped, including a Tortle Druid named Azek, and a Grung Gunslinger known only as The Grungslinger, Tellar yet again called for his deity’s aid to teleport them home.
* Once again, Tellar’s faith was rewarded and everyone was sent back to Greyspire, much to Father Bramble’s shock.
* Now in Greyspire taking a much needed rest, Father Bramble is preparing them new gear as part of their rewards before they set off on their next adventure; rescuing ***Torvax Vimrok***, a Dragonborn Gunsliner, ***Fer’Sal***, a Lizardfolk, and ***Fer’Sal’s Shield Guardian*** from the town of ***Silvershard*** before heading to a place known as ***“The Crater.”***
* During the evening’s rest, during his meditation, Malchar was visited by an odd voice who offered him more chaos and potentially control over that chaos. Reaching out and grabbing the thin air, Malchar opened his hand to reveal the ***Hundred-Sided Stone of Chance***, another incredibly powerful artifact***.***
