As Rhagal left the cell, the tall, stout, red-cloaked and white bearded figure that the party had previously stalked into the underground laboratory appeared and suggested to Rhagal that he explain why he shouldn't just leave the body behind. Rhagal proceeded with a long-winded account while Ser Shadow hid and the remainder of the party, warned by Hurodash thanks to Buddy being nearby, charged down into the prison. Appearing just in time, the arriving party rushed forward to engage him while Rhagal and Ser Shadow charged upstairs, used Etienne's status to commandeer horses and rode for Overtown. Initially pelted with rocks when appearing in Overtown in Polonian garb, our heroes quickly made themselves known the Riding folk and delivered Kelmen to Selma Longbottom.
In the meantime, the red-garbed Polonian sorcerer counterspelled the first few magical attacks before Dimension Dooring from the room. As he left, he wished the party well on behalf of his patron queen Tiamat and unleashed a devil from the first layer of Hell on the party. While the devil may have been a fearsome foe if he attacked in conjunction with the sorcerer, left on his own he was no match for the party. In a fit of desperation as his realized that he was certain to be killed, the devil grabbed Hurodash by the chest, slammed him against the wall, stabbed him with his icy blade and began to twist it back and forth. Turning his back on the other members of the party sealed his doom, but apparently the devil was attempting to kill Hurodash first. The party dispatched the devil just in time.
