I feel like everywhere here is dangerous and honestly most things want to fight us. Kinda a bummer that the Abyss doesn’t have a more chill vibe.

Story[]

Long Story[]

Having finally defeated the gross slime monster, the Tower of Grey are now hanging out in this hallway. It's long and dark, and also scary, so Toby creates a red dragon scale dome around them for safety. But there's still the issue of how dark it is, and they don't know what's ahead. Could Skud send his BattleBot down the hall, on fire, to light it up? No, because it's a Spiritual Weapon, and can't be lit aflame. Could Rowan shoot a flaming arrow down? Maybe, if she didn't accidentally hit the dome, instead. What about Lahni, she's fast. Yes! She runs down, invisible, and fast as all hell. Soon, she comes around a bend, and hears movement beyond it. Nothing else for it, but to keep going and check it out. Besides, it's probably nothing too dangerous, right?

Well, there are three demons beyond, with giant, crab-like pincers, and also arms, for grabbing. They are Glabrezu, and they look pissed. Not only that, but there's also two big, boar/ape-like demons with wings. They also look mean, and are the Nalfeshnee. But the leader of the pack? He's the Belor, and his big, beefy, and has giant bat wings. He notices Lahni, who decides to cut and run back to the others. She tells them of the demons, but they don't have to wait too long before said demons come abounding around the corner, looking for a tussle.

During the battle, Toby does something that's a little confusing. I think what happens is he removes the dome that's surrounding them, and creates a wall down the hall between the two parties. I'm pretty sure that's what happens. Lahni focuses on the Belor, and eventually, along with Rowan's magical arrows, they are able to take the creature down! This would be a good thing, except for the fact that the Belor explodes when it dies! So, it does that. It explodes.

Short[]

The party finds themselves in a long, dark hallway. Lahni runs up ahead to see what there is to see-see-see. And what there is to see-see-see is a group of scary demons! They follow Lahni back to the group, where they proceed to attack! After a lenghty battle, Lahni is able to kill the leader demon, which explodes in a ball of fire!

Trivia[]

  • Nika is way into this Belor. He should sign up for her OnlyFams...
