Intermezzo in Sigil

Tirsday 17th Yanoar, year 1457
Inside the building, Grum and Calos at first saw nothing. Then, out of nothing, a small devil appeared. Instinctively Grum raised his axe to kill it, but Calos stopped him:

Don't kill it yet, my simple friend. It was the devil that guided us here. 


Grum reluctantly agreed, mumbling something about not trusting it.


Fear not,  mortal man, for I come in peace (quiet chuckle). In fact, I come to help you save your dead friends, do you wish to help your friends? the devil said, looking intensely at Calos.

Of course, what kind of question is that? said Calos.


The devil then went on to explain Calos what would happen. To Grum it sounded like gibberish, but he did notice that Calos paled and balked more than a little bit during the exchange. But in the end, the tiefling said:

Okay, we will do things as you say. Grum, I need you do get into the next room and guard it, should anything break through the barriers protecting this building. And stay there. There will be magic in this room, magic that might be dangerous to us all, should you walk in the middle of it. Don't be as stupid as you sometimes are.

Grum grumbled quite a bit, but left the room all the same. He slept with one eye open, often interrupted by moans and laughter(?) from the room next door.

Onsday 18th Yanoar, year 1457
The next morning, when everything had been quiet for a while, he went back in and found all of his friends alive, sleeping on the floor, where he had left them the night before, dead. The devil was gone.
