My D&D party haha...well they just ended a 2ish month party split, because half of the party got accidentally sent to hell and used their opportunity to perform reconnaissance on a Contract Devil that had been causing trouble for them for some time. One party member managed to steal his true name, and used it to force him to broker a deal where she won't spread the name around and he will help them gat the paperwork they needed filed in hell done. They ended up going to the Library of Oaths (where every mortal oath and infernal contract is stored) and one party member used her status as a Divine Champion (a chosen mortal representative of the gods, each god is entitled to a Champion, High Priest, and a Herald) to file requests for information regarding the BBEG they are up against and information on the godsmoot (meeting of the divine emissaries in the event of potential world-altering events) that the party has gotten involved with.Originally Posted by Redrobes
Meanwhile, the material plane party was doing social combat in Pyre, a city built around the great elemental gate of fire. See one party member's personal story is that his wife disappeared a long time ago (200ish years, he is an elf), and has been searching for her ever since. Well it turns out what happened is that she was pulled through a rift in time that the party caused when fighting a group of archmages to stop them from activating their device called the World Engine. Anyway, she had been flung 200 years into the future, ended up getting captured by slavers and taken to Pyre, where The Broker, the same contract devil that they have been having trouble with, purchased her. He then leased her under a trial period to a slug devil living in the city who runs a pleasure house. And if he liked her, Jestran (the slug devil) would keep the wife and give The Broker the succubus Oriana, who he has been trying to get back from Jestran for quite some time (side note Oriana was the first love of the party member that is now searching for his wife, because I love making these complex webs haha).
Aaaaaany way, the material plane party made a deal with Jestran that if they could embarrass The Broker and decrease his social standing in Pyre he wouldn't complete the deal with The Broker, if they got his infernal status demoted he would help them free the wife form the legal system of Pyre, and if they outright killed The Broker he would just give them the wife. So they have been investigating corruption and double dealings The Broker performed with another high ranking individual in the city, which funneled city resources to the city where the archmages had been doing their world engine experiment. And just as the material plane party finished gathering information, the hell party finished their business at the Library of Oaths and returned to Pyre.
So...yup that's how that's been going XD
