FC steps forward, away from the group and stands next to the Cassalanters. He meets each of your dirty gazes with a smug look on his face.
"Now now, I know you all fink this is personal... it aint! Youse was all HIRED, after all. This is simply business. My reputation is now restored, our debts have been paid in gold and favours, and I appreciate all of ya help, I really do."
He turns to Lord Cassalanter and offers a short bow. He leans in close, whispers something in his ear, then pats him on the shoulder. As FC makes his way to a waiting carriage past the cultists, he flips the coin Aurinax gave him with his thumb, catching it again as it falls heads up in his palm.
"You act of service will not be forgotten, Mr. Cat."Lord Cassalanter says. "You have done well. Indeed, your reputation has been restored, and your debt has been paid. Now, as per our agreement, I will have my men loot the vault with the help of our associate here, Raenar, and your hirelings.." he gestures to the rest of you. "Are mine to do as I wish. They will make a fine sacrifice to Asmodeus. TAKE THEM AWAY."
Lord Cassalanter slowly raises his arms and you can feel a magical teleportation spell about to take place. Leon, Zeli grabs your arm tightly and buries her face in your chest, and screams words you can't understand. The last thing you all remember is darkness.
With the few seconds he had left before they met with the darkness, Leon knelt down with Zeli holding onto his arm, his free arm reaching out to grab Astrid who had been hiding behind her legs to bring the gnome closer to the both of them, holding her and Zeli tightly in his arms.

Dani concentrated on song lyrics to hide the plan growing in her mind. Once they had gotten free this entire mess could be turned around, but until then they had to survive, still she couldn't help responding to FC "Personal for me, big fella. Rule number one of adventuring: You don't rat out your party. You picked the wrong side-" Whatever else she was about to say was cut short and the elf slumped unconscious to the ground.
GROUP 1 (ZELI, LEON, ASTRID) ONE HELL OF A SUMMER THE FINAL CHAPTER
Rushing wind.
That was the first thing Leon felt as he slowly woke up from the darkness. The next thing he saw was the beautiful ocean, and Waterdeep along the coast. It would have been the most amazing view, but your brain and instincts kicked in as your regained consciousness and you noticed you were free falling fast - miles above the city, heading right into the ocean. Astrid, unconscious and little bit off to your right, looks like a rag doll caught in the wind. Zeli, a bit off to your left - to your horror, is also unconscious - falling limp like she was stuck in a great air current. You look down, you're all going to hit the water in about 45 second.
Your mind races, and then it clicks - no wonder Zeli was holding you so tight! As Lord Cassalanter was casting the spell, Zeli must have timed her own teleportation spell to make it seem like got teleported too! But, why are we free falling?!?
GROUP 2 (PHERAL, AZRAEL, LYTHRIL, DANI) ONE HELL OF A SUMMER THE FINAL CHAPTER
All four of you awake to a horrible sight. It is a dimly lit hallway (see below). Each of your arms are chained to the wall behind you. You are groggy and weak from what must have been a teleportation spell. You look around. Where are..? Where are Zeli, Astrid, and Leon? The room you're in appears to be a crypt of some sort. The walls are grey bricks, candles are lit and glow everywhere. Like in the tower, there is blood and demonic symbols and pentagrams everywhere you look. Body parts and organs are scattered on the floor, and it looks like something out of a nightmare. It smells terrible in here. The floor has a small drain about 6" round, and is draining fresh blood from the floor. You are stripped down to ONLY your undergarments and have no armor, items, or weapons. You are chained to the wall where I have marked below. To break the bonds would require a DC15 STR (Athletics) roll. You can hear horrible wailing and chanting from beyond this area and further.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Danitriel's eyes opened and she shook her head to clear it. "Oof. That was not pleasant. Okay. We need to get out of these chains, get our stuff back, find the others and get out of here. I have something of a plan to get the gold out of the Cassalanters' hands and get some revenge, but we need to get out of here first." She cast Prestidigitation to create a small non-magical item in her hand, in this case a set of theive's tools, and began trying to undo the cuffs that bound her.
(rolling straight Dex because lack of proficiency: 5 )
Tears stream down her face as she repeatedly tries to pull and twist out of her containment. Blood and sweat mingle on her wrists, seeping down her arms. She shudders with effort but doesn't give up.

There was nothing that prepared him for the events that occurred not just a few seconds ago, through the rage and regret (in helping that selfish son of a *****), his mind focused only on one thing.
Protect them.
He wasn't skilled in free falling (honestly, who would be?), but with the adrenaline that now coursed through his veins like blood, he had to learn it fast. First, he aimed for Astrid, angling his body to pick up more speed, his arm fighting against the wind to grab her by her arm and pull her to his side once again. Now, he focused on getting Zeli, keeping Astrid tightly by his side he did the same maneuver, aiming himself downwards to get ahead of her. As he moved, his heart was basically pumping out of his chest the closer and closer the water seemed to get to them, but with a burst of determination, he reached out for her, successfully grabbing her wrist, pulling her back into him.
Protect them.
His eyes would squeeze shut, turning himself upwards, his back to the water with the girls he cared for so deeply in his chest, cradled in his strong arms.
Gods knew how much it would hurt in the end, falling from such a height, but he did it for them.
He needed to protect them.

Pheral wakes, her mind foggy ...it. Wait, were the in the nine hells are we? She finds her hand bound and her body exposed. That some of a Orc is going to pay for this. She struggles against her bonds 5 pointlessly.
Astrid wakes up with a sudden snort....followed by a long scream and string of expletives "Whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat thheeeeeeeeeeee fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." she manages to get out, before losing her breath. The rush of air in the freefall makes it hard to breath. Taking rapid stock of her predicament, she realizes that she's being cuddled and protected by Leon, and is squished against Zeli as the three of them rapidly approach the ground/water below. She starts to shake Zeli violently...."WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!!! Come on, Missus Dragon, WAKE UP! Turn into dragon formmmmmmmmmm...." before losing her breath again.
Huffing and puffing, she continues to shake Zeli, "COME ON!!!!!"
GROUP 1 (ZELI, LEON, ASTRID) ONE HELL OF A SUMMER THE FINAL CHAPTER
The ocean below was rapidly approaching. Thankfully, Zeli slowly woke thanks to the shaking, and looked around in a a hurried panic. She turned to Leon and yelled, "Great Nymmurh! I have an idea! I need some distance!". She skillfully unwrapped herself from you, and as gently as she could, quickly put a foot on each of you, and kicked you "down" so she would get a little distance away from you. What you saw next Leon would never forget. With her limbs spread, Zeli's form exploded in a brilliant arcane bronze explosion of released illusion magic and in all her majesty opened her wings. Her scales were brilliant against the sun, every part of her was magical. Taking a moment to get used to the fall, she reached out her claws and grabbed each of you.
"HOLD ON!"
Tucking you in snugly, she pulled up as tightly as she could and you both almost pass out from the inertia. Veering away from the ocean, she lands as close to Waterdeep would allow without causing a scene and thunders to the ground, letting you both roll out of her claws. Before you can even get back up, she's back in human form wearing her adventuring gear. "Sorry about that rough landing." She looks around. "I cast a teleport spell of my own as that very bad man was casting his. I think he thinks we got caught in his, spell but i'm glad my teleport worked better." She looks up at the sky. "Although, I think I might have missed my mark a bit." She shrugs as if nothing happened. "Oh well! Next time." She smiles. "Now what?"
GROUP 2 (PHERAL, AZRAEL, LYTHRIL, DANI) ONE HELL OF A SUMMER THE FINAL CHAPTER
As Pheral struggles with her bonds, Lythril can be heard pulling on her own shackles. Dani produces some magical thieves tools and unlocks herself. The smell of rot and death is nearly overpowering in this crypt turned prison. You can hear the rythmic thundering of something very large outside in the next area. Something horrible is keeping guard. There are twelve stone sarcophagi packed into deep recesses in the walls along with countless lit candles. The plaster lid of each sarcophagus is carved in the likeness of a noble clutching a chalice that bears a symbol of the sun. The sarcophagi contain nothing but dust and bones.
On the wall is a massive sign above the largest sarcophagus that reads: Caladorn Cassalanter, a former Masked Lord and hero of Waterdeep.
Leon didn't bother getting up for the time being, needing to take a minute for his brain to catch up with the series of unfortunate events that lead them there. He was very much thankful to Zeli, of course, for saving both of their lives from that fall, but his mind veered back to how he was so readily willing to sacrifice himself for their sake. "What an idiot." He muttered in elvish, his hands covering his eyes. Without removing his hands, he spoke louder to the two of them.
"Give me a minute. I just... I just need to think right now."

With a grim smile Danitriel unlocked herself. As soon as the cuffs were off she quickly went to Pheral to unlock the rogue, intending to recast the spell to make a second set of tools so the two of them could unlock Lythril and Azrael in half the time.
Azrael woke to the musty, rotting smell of death, and neglect. It almost overpowered his noses heightened senses. Causing him to huff from his nostrils. He was naked aside from his loingarments.. Frankly he wouldn't have even cared if he were nude.. he had nothing to be ashamed of. He took a moment to take stock of the situation, realizing his holy sylbol / Arcane focus were gone .. limited his spells only slightly, as most of his prepared spells didn't require materials... however.. his favored ones, including his most powerful one.. did.
In a whisper, loud enough only to allow the four of them to hear, he spoke Well it's good to see you are all O.K. though his eyes were on Pheral as he spoke. Luckily, I have mostly still castable spells prepared... I only cannot cast Lightning bolt, and Shatter.. the rest, I still posses. As he see's that Dani is apparently up, and free, and is starting to unlock them, he tries to save them the effort, as he yanks down on the chains, flexing 8 with intense fury, shatters his fetters.
He quietly would head to the door, seeing if there was a hole, or damage to peek through at all, to see if he could find what was on the other side (investig: 5 and checking his memory to see if he could tell what creature, or type of creature could possibly be making that 'rumbling' History: 5)
GROUP 2 (PHERAL, AZRAEL, LYTHRIL, DANI) ONE HELL OF A SUMMER THE FINAL CHAPTER
A massive creature appears to be patrolling the hallway outside the door. From what you can see, it's about the size of an ogre, but it's not an ogre. It's an abomination that's burnt and sewn together. An enormous humanoid who's skin is completely red with boils with blue veins all over it's body. It's mostly wrapped in chains, and at the end of some of these chains are very sharp hooks. It slowly lumbers back and forth down the hallway. DNN.. DNN.. DNN.., and it seems like a long hallway as you're able to time the length it takes for it to cross the door you're peeking out of. If a huge fat butcher could be infused with the powers of Hell, this is that creature.
FC steps forward, away from the group and stands next to the Cassalanters. He meets each of your dirty gazes with a smug look on his face.
