Smugglers of magic 15: City in flames

General Summary

The session starts in the evening with the starting of the ritual. Before that the party still split up the items they got from Vena's loot. As Jade went to finish up the ritual witchhunters found the location and attempted to stop them, however not succeeding with the party making quick work of them all (Fièn's cards and a smart spell from Irial), during this fight Fikri also launched fire spears at the party from an incredible distance. After the party fended off the witchhunters Fikri left back to the city seeing it was hopeless and the ritual completed. The party took a rest for a bit while Lady who wasn't damaged went into the city to scout already, finding out that the witchhunters were on the cusp of starting their final attacks on the city too. While disguised as a witchhunter around the Red reveler (which the witchhunters have taken as a command center) the messages come in of the attacks starting. Soon after that the zombies created by Jade also arrive at the city and break through the gate, resulting in complete chaos in the city.
In response to this the Fishmongers additionaly start to fight the Stolen in trying to gain territory from them as well as trying to regain territory back from the Red revelers, the party finds this out as after they enter the city they find the 2 groups fighting, they quickly listen to Brodir in a fight expaining why they're doing this, and they decide its not worth to effort to try and convince him, instead leaving it and moving to the red reveler to meet up with Lady again. In the red reveler the witchhunters there are in a fight with the zombies at this point, and the party manages to take zombies and sneak them down the back by ordering them thus pincering the witchhunters up front, Meanwhile the party themselves go to the middle floor, while Fien meets up with Lady again on the bottom floor. On the second floor they find Delwyn and Letya(1 of Vena's vampire spawn) as the party tries to attack Letya an invisibile Mariette also reveals herself (the other Vampire spawn that isn't dead yet). The party gets in a fight with the 2 of them, which results in Letya killed at the hands of Matsrur and Mariette fleeing instead as she is the final one left, crying at the loss of her fellow vampires as she is now the only one of Vena's vampire spawn left. During this fight Delwyn is also killed through a spell targeted at him by Jade, which decimates him before he can even say a word to try and worm his way out of it.
After that fight the party quickly prepares a bit before going to the top floor to face Fikri, this preparation is poisoning weapons and letting some of the undead hordes come up the stairs too.
During all the chaos in the city Vena has been restrained with various different methos in a coffin on the bottom of the river and through a card they placed in his body Fien can keep track of where he is, so far he is still down there, frantically trying to get out.
