The group has managed to do the unthinkable and that is to release a prisoner from the Wells of Darkness. The group was able to negotiate with Ahazu the Seizer, lord of the Wells and have agreed to replace the Demoness with another creature of equal power within 60 days. After releasing her and getting the information required the group was then forced to deal with another trap set by the Prince of Demons. This was a rupture in the Abyss that caused a rupture in the Layers that caused the River Styx to pour into the Wells of Darkness causing most of the group to lose the last eight hours of memory while that had to find more guardians sent by their master. They overcame these demons and moments later a strange fog billowed out from the water pouring down and a long narrow skiff poled by a gaunt skeletal figure wielding a long boat pole. To their horror they realized that this was Charon the fabled boatman of the Styx and looked very angry. With a gesture he stilled the roaring water as he asked the group why they had diverted his river.
The group tried to blame the Prince of Demons but ultimately they apologized to Charon and he accepted it and then asked them onto his skiff. The group decided this was a good idea as it was time to get away from the Wells before the Prince decided to attend personally. Charon was full of anger with the Prince and told the group that he would help them with their problem and after sailing the Styx for close to a day he deposited the group along side the Sea Wyvern somewhere in the layers of the Abyss. He also gave the group permission to ply the waters of the Styx while they were fighting the Prince. The group was told to speak with the Lord of this layer and it was the fabled sorceress Iggwilv and they would need her assistance to start their plan of attack against the Demon Prince.
More to come as the group tries diplomacy instead of combat to accomplish their deeds.
