Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap part 4

The party safely made their way through the tunnels of the sewer into the asylum. After a disturbing tour of the hellish asylum, the party reached the Directors office to find he was out, but the Succubus Honey was in. Her natural aura of influence claimed several party members, Aurelius seeing this as an attack and several love struck party members leapt to her defense. She begged for her life and Aurelius listening to his sword granted mercy for now, but bound a angelic sigil to her so she could be tracked.   As the party started to try and get info from her, Director Young appeared with two old friends, Sigrid and Flick, dominated under his control. As battle ensued, the room began to warp and change revealing its more hellish origin. Zazik almost died under still mind controlled Flick spell blasts, but Hype managed to get in a final hit and freed everyone. The room began to collapse and the party escaped into the mist in separate directions.

The party took a long rest in the dome and were tempted by strange noises and wildlife of the sewers, but stayed safe through the night. In the morning they took as direct a path as they could towards the sewer path to D4C dodging crabs and golems on the way.   Inside D4C they found themself inside a pipe room with labels for different rooms including Directors Suite, Garden, and Cafeteria. Zazik and Breeze tried to manufacture sleep dust and pump into the pipe, but Zazik had a strange episode calling out unknown names and throwing the sleeping dust into Rumple who was not amused.   The party decided to hold off trying again and headed into the facility which resembled a hospital more than a adventuring HQ. There they were greeted by a creepy “Doctor” who mysteriously appeared and assumed they were there to visit a loved one. As he started to offer them a tour, a strange ghostly mist begin to pour in from the sewer entrance and the party quickly locked and sealed the door to prevent its entrance.   The “Doctor” seemed grateful calling it a minor annoyance and than begin the tour showing the party the Garden, full of rose bushes, and the Water Room, containing blanked out patients doing some kind of sensory deprivation “treatment”. The party did not go into to the rooms, but Rumpel recognized one of the patients as a former member of the Red House Syndicate. Sufficiently freaked out the party pushed their guide to take them to the Director’s Suite, which he complied with a smile.   The party reached the Directors office to find he was out, but the Succubus Honey was in. Her natural aura of influence claimed several party members, which she mostly ignored. Aurelius seeing this as an attack and under assumption that Honey was evil (mostly correct), attacked back. Several love struck party members lept to her defense and she escaped to the ethereal plane. However Aurelius did not let up and his glowing blade was able to pierce through to harm her and pull her back to the material plane. She begged for her life and Aurelius listening to his sword granted mercy for now, but bound a angelic sigil to her so she could be tracked.   As the party started to try and get info from her, they were alerted to a scribbling of notes behind them as Director Young sitting in one of the rooms leather arm chairs was taking notes on their behavior. He stood and greeted them as his rather unassuming mortal form slipping away has he began to swell into his true infernal self. As the party squared up, he pointed out it was only fair they get to meet their friends after coming all this way to see them. Stepping from two doors seemingly appearing out of the bookcase, came the blank eyed mentally dominated figures of Sigird and Flick.   Initial physical attacks proved ineffective as he was determined to be Illusionary and is true position in the room unknown. Honey used the distraction to make her escape. A series of back and forth enchantment spells warped minds leaving briefly only Marigold and Sigrid mentally free. As Sigrid helped free other minds, Marigold relied on Zazik’s magic tracing to hit Director Young in his invisibility. As the room began to warp and change revealing its more hellish origin the fight turned physical. Zazik almost died under still mind controlled Flick spell blasts, but Hype managed to get in a final hit and freed everyone.   The room began to collapse as the doors opened and ghostly mist started pouring through wreathing the figure of Aspasia who provided the party an escape. Toasted by flame and madness the party quickly took her direction and escaped into the mist in various directions.
