the dome: a battleground for the gods!

*so much drama happening*

(Cut for Arch.)

He keeps shaking the cage, and he roars yet again. He scales glow like molten lava, and the two pit fiends both take 46 fire damage (ignores immunity and resistance.)

 The hellfire cage seems to have a magical barrier around it, keeping most damage from going through. They take a quarter of the damage, and snarl.

Each of them back 100 feet from the cage, using exclusively magic to levitate it now. It’s much slower, but it’s safer and they’ll soon be approaching the trench.

 He growls at them, then exhales a torrent of flame 300 feet wide at them. They both take 114 fire damage (ignores immunity and resistance). DC 26 Dex save for half.

 (It's actually DC 28, not 26. That's my bad.)

 Neither of them can make that, and only on of them is hit as they’re on opposite sides. They’re descending into the trench now, one of them quite burnt. Ragnaris can see a ledge and the Trench’s overhang connected together by white hot adamantine bars, forming a sort of small cavern prison, just small enough that Ragnaris wouldn’t be comfortable in it, but could fit. There isn’t any apparent door to it, and on the rock above there is an inscription reading Ragnaris’ name. They are only a few hundred feet from the prison.

more cages like it decorate the sides of the trench, with the stone spire rising from the unseen, dark bottom all the way to about half up to the top of Nessus, a layer of rock in which many streams of freezing water fall through like rain, turning to mist a hundred feet into the descent, forming a cloud lair. Ragnaris can guess the spire, truly enormous and thousands of feet thick, is the residence of Asmodeus, king of Hell.

*Im going to assume the guy is dead.*
Rag walks back to the dome, ignoring everything around him. He finally stops suppressing the message his grandfather sent to him. He begins to cry, his face unmoving but tears simply flowing down. He grabs the reality tear he made earlier and reopens it and goes back inside. Athletics:44

 He finds himself back in the outside area of Abaddon’s court, the doors shut. The windows are dark, hard to tell what’s going on. But noises come from the building.

(by the way, there are more than just those two rooms in Abaddon’s court, there are several but those are just the main two connected to the entry hall he escaped from)

Quote from TheTrueJester2 >

 Jason's voice is also slightly shaky "Goodbye Lonely." Once he leaves the gate closes behind him.

 Once they leave and the gate closes, they just stand there for a moment. Then, they walk off to the other side of the dome, sit down, and cover their face with their hands, curling into a little ball. They Aren’t crying yet, just sitting there.

 Lonely feels a rumbling from underneath, before a crocodilian head pops out of the ground near him.

"Why friend alone....sad....?"

 Ragnaris is still defiant towards the fiends, and this time he casts flesh to stone on the one he hit with his flames. They must now succeed on a DC 30 Con save.

 The pit fiend drops, and so does the cage, at least partially. The other one tries to keep it up by moving closer and using increased magic force, not 25 feet away. Two bone devils resting on a nearby ledge dive down after the pit fiend, trying to catch up to catch them.

 Their skin begins to harden into rock, and Ragnaris smiles cruelly as this happens. The fiend is now restrained, and has to make Con saves until they rack up either three successes or three failures.
