Chapter Ten "Meeting the Master of Drains & Underways" (2026-06-06)

29th Flamerule

Move East - find kitchen & empty mess hall next door. 

Across the corridor sounds of ritual chanting are coming from behind a closed door. Honey reads Infernal words "That which falls can rise again" across the door and decides kicking down the door is the best course of action!

Inside are Cultists & an Odious Devil, the inevitable fight breaks out. With cultists dispatched but the devil still fighting hard the Duchess herself joins the fight.

Vaantrick cuts down the devil which has Flea grappled but Talon is fighting for his life, he goes down several times during the fight. The Duchess seems to make a beeline for the weakling Sima and she also goes down at one point.

As Reya lands the final blow on her, Vanthampur tells the group they are "Fools if you think it ends with me"

Honey finds keys on Vanthamper's body and Vaantrick looks at a statue in the room. He finds it's hollow, cuts head off & finds the light inside is from a well-made mace that he hands off to Flea (who happily drops the loaner sword from Honey, much to Honey's displeasure!)

They find a secret doorway, there's a candle with a flame that looks like an angel. Honey assesses the situation and concludes it's some kind of infernal divination thing.

Keep exploring, see a figure with tentacles for a beard who shouts "Die intruders!" After the fight is over, Honey finds the infernal wound that was inflicted on her doesn't seem to heal as normal and she needs to take time to staunch the bleed.

They then find a familiar prisoner - Falister Fisk seems to have managed to get himself caught and locked up again in another dungeon.
