1492 DR 29 Uktar (The Rotting)

General Summary

Returning to Avernus, we asked Paelias to use sending to call Olanthius to the Crypt of the Hellriders. We narrowly avoided conflict with the death knight and his forces and managed to discuss the whereabouts of Yael. Olanthius wasn't particularly interested in talking with us, and expects we will all perish in our fool's errand. Nevertheless, he informed us that his former comrade, Haruman, set a "perch" where he could watch over Yael's last known location. Thus we set out for Haruman's Hill.

Wrought iron trees line a trail that leads to the summit of a steep hill. Anguished knights are impaled on the trees’ metal branches, their bodies writhing in torment as bloated stirges feast on their blood.

We carefully approached the hill, between the iron trees and their screaming captives, planning to cross over and journey to the fetid bog about a half mile beyond. As we reached the hill, Haruman arrived and attacked. The battle was swift, fiery, and fierce, and we triumphed over the devil in the end.
