Seph: Barrels that contain ale and some that contain water spill out. Somewhere, a dwarf is crying.

Persephone whispers to Nok Nok "Smell that?  The old lady must be holding some sort of evil ceremony.  I bet she's calling on all sorts of devils and such."

Jill pushes open the door to V23. 

Nok Nok bristles at Peresphone’s observation. “Not good,” he whispers back. “Be ready.”

V23 - COLD STORAGE

The Vanthampurs appear to be storing animal carcasses and other fresh meat in this room. Hanging in the middle of the room from the 10-foot-high ceiling are six 3-foot-long chains, each ending in a hook. Flayed boar carcasses hang from four of the hooks, while the remaining two hooks are bare.

Heeding Nok Nok’s advice, Persephone unhooks her bow and nocks an arrow, standing there at the Ready, near the back of the group. A quiet shaking noise can be heard....a combination of Persephone’s chattering teeth and quaking knees as fear rears its ugly head. 

Jill tries the double doors next.

As you near the double doors, anyone with a decent passive perception can hear cult like chanting coming from beyond. The iron double door leading to this room has Infernal runes carved into its arched door frame. "That which falls can rise again.” Misha reads, quietly. She slowly turns to Jeel, and with a soft smile says. "Time to say hello?"

"Yes, although I doubt that we will get a warm welcome." Jill gets ready to kick the door down with Misha.

Cien give Yoska a Look. "What do you mean, a human that's only a week old?"

Allynna smiles. "Yes, let's give the cultists our warmest regards," she says, summoning hellfire to her hands.

Nok Nok draws his daggers and nods, sticking close to Persephone. “We got this.”

V26 - THE TEMPLE OF ZARIEL

Misha nods, lifts up her knee, and both her and Jill kick open the double doors.

"Knock Knock!" Misha yells. "Who ees there? Scooby team here to kick your snacks! What the.." she trails off, the humor quickly fading.

Two rows of tall wrought-iron candlesticks light this vaulted chamber, each one bearing nine flickering candles. A seven-foot-tall statue of an angel with white glowing eyes and a longsword stands atop a dais to the south. An eight-foot-tall fiend bristling with spines stands west of the statue, glaring at four black-robed cultists who kneel and chant in the middle of the room, their faces hidden behind golden devil masks. Nine tapestries depicting the layers of the Nine Hells adorn the walls.

The barbed devil growls upon seeing you, slowly advancing with two sharp axes. The cultists startle, get up, and draw weapons. Roll for initiative!!!!!

Persephone stand's at the Ready, ready to fling an arrow the nanosecond the doors are kicked open.

Jill: 6

"The maid back there, my brother. She mentioned being only a week old. Which just like--" Yoska made a motion of his head exploding. "Right? And-..." Cut off abruptly by a door getting down,  and people readying to meet some threat. Then, he sees the demon, and with a defiant growl of his own whips out a scimitar.

Yonitiative: 16.

The second that shards of the broken wooden door came flying into the room, they were joined by an arrow shot by Persephone.  The arrow was hastily aimed at one of the four robed cultists.
