The shadows are not impressed. They fly at you, cackling as they try to rip you to shreds. Make a DC 18 Con save or take 8 necrotic damage and 17 psychic damage, and half on a success.
18
You are barely able to weather their attacks, but barely still works. The scene changes yet again, this time leading you to the Infinite Layers of the Abyss. You see demons of all shapes and sizes, fighting legions of devils or each other. You stop abruptly, at a scene with some familiar faces. It’s not the number of corpses that bother you, it’s the fact that some of them are moving.
Riptide lays down
Can I get some backstory before we proceed? >:)

*Alright, here’s how the game works. Orion deals each player 5 D8s. You are attempting to get the lowest hand possible. On your turn, you can trade in any number of cards up to three to replace them with freshly drawn ones. Once everybody has had their turn, we reveal.*
*This is slightly flawed but idk the best way to do ut*

The Captain smiles. “How ‘bout this — you beat us, you go free. Although it’d be nice if you stopped attacking the Notched Blades; we may oppose the Empire, but we’re still decent people. Sound good?”
“Alright.”
"I would say we shouldn't because we could use him as leverage, but it seems the crew of Athene Crusader have forgotten about him. No offense"

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
*Here’s an example of a turn:*
Sergei looks at his five cards and picks 2 of them. (These cards are anonymous to all, including Orion. I’m trusting you guys to have sportsmanship.)
Orion deals you two cards back.
For Sergei’s eyes only: (You can look during the example but not during the game.)
83
The turn then passes to Flynn.

You haven't seen the Pelican since your interaction with him a few days ago. It is late at night, the sea is calm and the sky is clear. The moon is bright and bathes the ship in soft, silvery light. The quiet waters rock the ship gently and are scattered with the flickering reflections of the stars.
All is quiet. The watchmen are asleep on their posts, the lazy louts.
You are drawn from the hold by a strange sense. You feel as though you are expected on the deck and that you mustn't be late.
Upon emerging from the hold, you find that the deck is not as empty as you thought it would be. A huge conglomeration of large Pelicans is perched in a dense cluster near the bow. White feathers rustles and beaks clack as they wait for you to approach. It is almost a wonder that the ship doesn't capsize under the concentrated weight of so many seabirds. A few stragglers pinwheel above the ship with whispering wings.
"There you are Chef," croaks a familiar voice from among the massive flock. "How have you been?"
Auguste seems impressed by the number of pelicans. "Well, I was doing well a minute ago, but now I realize I haven't prepared enough to serve your family. Do they all have appetites like you?"

“Would anyone here truly trust me?”
Xi looks up. “Why is this guy tied up?”
“He was in the Crusader. Orion beat him up and captured him.”
