LARAZOD
Ah, Aroden’s servants, so like sweet children they be. Hold
true, my dear friend!
Tybain suddenly tears loose his fluke.
TYBAIN
I am well, though I may never be the same.
HAANDERTHAN
Curse your persistence. All lies eventually reveal their
ugly fangs. I shall draw them as venom from a wound.

The crowd once more roars it's approval!


Act 4: Trial in the Belly of the Beast
DENTRIS
Such horrors. What next?
LARAZOD
Hold true, old man.
DENTRIS
Easy for you to say! Youth laughs at death as a stranger. As
you grow older you come to know it well—and fear it.
DROVALID
I have seen young and old break before this court. They all
share one thing: a weak and watery eye speaking to a frailty of
spirit. Your eyes are like grit and sand, obstinate even in the
face of the storm-fraught sea. You cannot break, old wizard.
DENTRIS
Perhaps not, but tell me, Tormentor—what fresh horrors await?
DROVALID
Here follows the Trial in the Belly of the Beast. A great
terror, gifted to this court by a Duke of Hell, the Beast is
a hideous thing, whose stomach is a nest of acid-spewing
serpents. It shall swallow us whole, and wash us clean in
its acid well.
DENTRIS
Where is the “trial” in this!?
DROVALID
If we are innocent, and speak no lies, then the Beast’s Belly
will leave us unscathed.
TYBAIN
Madness!
LARAZOD
Hold fast, my dear friend. Have faith in Asmodeus.
TYBAIN
But I do not!
LARAZOD
Well then you better learn to swim.

Roll number 4!

HAANDERTHAN
The next trial demands a great sacrifice. Ye, who speaks
for the half-breed, the lone traitor on the council who
speaks against my august personage. You must brave
this trial, and all that follow, alongside the accused.
ILSANDRA
(Laughing) Gladly! I stand at this tiefling’s side, or at his back,
or him at mine, or perhaps I should bolster him up from
below or allow him to do the same to me. You shall see how
devotedly I attend his pleasure, for he speaks the truth.
HAANDERTHAN
Then burn with him.
Ilsandra joins the companions, and embraces Larazod with a
fiery kiss. He surrenders to her pleasures.
ILSANDRA
Know the gifts of Asmodeus, dear child. You have earned
great boons by your devoted service, and I shall pay them
all with interest. But soft, what terror approaches? Our
pleasures must wait.
Enter the Beast.
LARAZOD
Come, horror, I shall tear my way from your gizzard with
the white-hot blade of my truth.
DROVALID
Die though I might, melted to a puddle of liquid flesh in
the bowels of the Beast, I cannot think of any greater man
to join in death. I am honoured to die at the side of a man
so filled with truth.
DENTRIS
Come and have a bite, Old Beastie. These old bones shall
stick in your craw and choke the life from you.
TYBAIN
My holy flesh shall burn all the way down. Aroden’s
blessings upon my soul ensure a most unpleasant meal for
this Beast.
The Beast devours them. They fight their way free from his gizzard.

The crowd hoots and hollers; stomping their feet to show their pleasure with the cast's skills!


Act 5: The Birthing Trial
HAANDERTHAN
You have crawled from the maw of the Beast. Let us see
what blasphemous lies slither from your treacherous
insides. Show them.
The Bailiff brings out five crimson eggs.
DROVALID
Dear Asmodeus! Spare us!
LARAZOD
What means these strange crimson eggs?
DROVALID
Oh horror beyond nightmare! The eggs, they burrow deep
within us. They hatch deep in our insides, churning our
guts to paste and slurping them through gritted devil teeth.
They feed on our souls. When these foul devils have eaten
their fill, they tear their way free—terrible things! Hideous
devil-children bearing our own faces, but filled with hate
for all we are. We are mothers to twisted things and look
upon our own visage as we die by their taloned hands.
HAANDERTHAN
Shall you recant now, or will you give birth to abominations
of your very flesh?
ILSANDRA
Do your worst, fool of a mortal. I am a princess to hell, and no
child born of my black soul shall bear malice against me.
Larazod lifts the Bailiff off the ground by the throat with one
mighty hand.
LARAZOD
Ha! Give me your egg, you lickspittle. If Asmodeus wishes
it, I shall choke the life of my own devilish child with glee.
I gulp this egg down before this court and our dark lord’s
very eyes.

Roll #5!

bluff: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 4 = 29


DENTRIS
Well, give me mine. Not much good it shall avail you.
The real Dentris Maltrada was killed ages ago at my own
devilish hands when I was born from his old soul. I am a
child of this egg
TYBAIN
Truly?! I had no idea!
DENTRIS
If only everyone was as naïve as ye, paladin.
TYBAIN
I like eggs! Red, white, or otherwise. Hand me mine! I’ll
eat it raw!
The companions eat their eggs and hideous devil children are
born from them. They battle the devil children valiantly. Ilsandra,
amazed that her daughter attacks her, lashes out with ferocity.
ILSANDRA
No! My child! Forgive me! You’ll pay for this, Haanderthan—
with your heart’s blood, and with every shred of your soul.

Once more the crowd bellows its pleasure with your efforts.


Act 6: Trial by Combat and Love
HAANDERTHAN
(Aside) How can this be? Four trials broken, and still they
prevail. Asmodeus smiles upon them. Does the Dark Lord
truly know of my compact with the Abyss? It cannot be, or
I am utterly undone. True or nay, I must try the last. I shall
plunge their faith in pitch and acrid stew, and see if they
hold to the cause.
(To the companions) You sickly whelps profess undying
devotion to one another. Another smoldering lie flung from
your dark holes. You but conspire to confound this court and
our Dark Majesty. ’Tis ye who contract with demon-spawn
and seek my undoing, in service to some slimy mistress or
master of the putrid Abyss. Your vile benefactors have thus
far warded off justice’s dark hand, but let us see if you hold
steadfast before the promise of oblivion.
DENTRIS
More? I cannot last. My old heart gives out. Go on
without me, master. I served your father faithfully. Alas,
I am found lacking in the face of his half-breed son.
The challenges, ever dire, cleave my soul from me. May
Asmodeus keep me.
LARAZOD
No foolish talk, old wizard. Haven’t you claimed immortality
a thousand times to any bent ear? Old Dentris Maltrada
cannot die, ye said. I’ve eaten the heart of an ancient Red
Wyrm, and warmed by his fire, my soul burns eternal. Get
up, my dear friend, more father to me, than ever any father
was. Your duties are not abated. Your task is yet undone.
TYBAIN
Let him die. He’s suffered long enough, and we’ve suffered
his blustery speeches even more keenly. Kick off, old bag,
and be done with ye.
DENTRIS
Why you shiny beetle! You quivering pall-o-dine of a
young whelp-turned-demigod! You plump kettle! I’ll
bring the all-encompassing powers of a thousand worlds
crashing down upon your head! The keening song of
dead gods warble at my command. I’ll leave your mind
a tatterdemalion of a sad rag. Die! Die, you say! Nay, not
till I’ve seen the last oafish breath squeezed from your
lungs by tongs of fire—you simpering Aro-din-din!
TYBAIN
Looking more lively now, aren’t we?
LARAZOD
Peace, old man. The pall-o-dine works a righteous healing
upon your old bones—applying the only balm your
withered heart desires—spitting ire and uncouth rage.
Bile for balm, bile for balm—what a wolfish old man, a
terror to kings and angels. Ladies and gentlemen, I give
you Dentris Maltrada. He knows no equal.

Roll numero seis!

DENTRIS
Enough, pup! I am much abused. Lay not your hands
on me, pall-o-dine! I’ll rise without your young god’s
urgings. I’ve work left indeed.
ILSANDRA
Strange old wizard, loyal and dear heart. He’ll join us in
the marriage bed and one last night of bliss will be his for
the taking!
LARAZOD
A lovely sentiment, my princess of Hell, disturbing though
it may be.
DROVALID
Enough. It is time. I am not long of your company, but
know that I would stand by you all through six hundred
trials. Take hands with me, half-breed. My sins and yours
are one. Our destinies intertwine, and I walk your path
with you to the bitter burning end.
LARAZOD
I’m honored.
HAANDERTHAN
How touching. These sentiments of yours are nothing
but dreamy clouds, soon to be shred by Asmodeus’s
blasting winds.
LARAZOD
Face of hazy dream-like bliss, kiss like fire. I burn for you,
princess. Cling to me, dig your talons into my chest and
touch my heart with white-hot caress.
ILSANDRA
I am yours for one thousand blissful years. Drink my
sizzling blood from my wrist, or anywhere else you like—
let us seal this sinful compact and consummate our love
in the heat of battle.
TYBAIN
Dentris, you old cur, dog curled by your master’s feet. I
can’t call you friend, but a truer servant I’ve never known.
Loyalty is the mark of greatness. Know that my sword is
yours even as your spells bend to Larazod’s cause. We stand
as one, and we always shall.
ILSANDRA
Great Tormentor, Drovalid Vorclune, let it be said a man
who can bear the vicious ministrations he renders upon
his foes is a great man indeed. Though I am pledged to
this young half-breed, know your courage sends shudders
through my loins.

The assembled host writhes with playwright pleasure!


Act 7: Trial by His Own Dark Hand
HAANDERTHAN
The final trial is at hand. Your souls shall be
quenched at long last.
LARAZOD
This trial is yours, Magistrate Maleficarum.
Asmodeus is the only true judge here. Bow
before him.
HAANDERTHAN
Insolent dog! Asmodeus shall scour your soul
as sauce from a pan. Ash for bones, and waxen
souls melted by the dark lord’s flame to puddle
at his taloned feet.
LARAZOD
We shall see who is judged!

How will you be judged by the crowd? Last roll #7!

I will surge, use multiple surges if you let me.
surge: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 6) = 12

Or use Amazing Initiative to take an additional standard action during that turn. This additional standard action can't be used to cast a spell. You can't gain an extra action in this way more than once per round. Would use the additional action to do a roll 8.

roll 8
bluff: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 4 = 28


THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS enters in a burst
of foul colored flames and shrieking, crimson
skinned imps and offers Larazod a choice.
His devils hang silk scarves around all the
companions’ necks—one of red, one of crimson.
Each is handed a contract written in blood,
which bursts into flames when read.
PRINCE OF DARKNESS
Choose. A true heart shall beat strong for all
eternity at my side, a false one burns to cinder in
an instant.
Larazod and his companions choose the crimson scarves
and the red ones burn away. Haanderthan cries out in
terror as the Prince of Darkness turns on him.
PRINCE OF DARKNESS
Treacherous magistrate who lords false justice over
true souls. Your soul shall burn for all eternity—
an everlasting torment awaits you.
Prince of Darkness carries Haanderthan into the mouth
of Hell. Exeunt.

The arrival of the an incredibly real Asmodeus totally throws you off your game. Clearly Millech's skills as an illusionist combined with his ability to craft props are legendary.

After dropping your scarve and fumbling around to pick it up for a few moments, you feel of the energy of the crowd quickly turning against you. Calseinica dodges Thesing's attempt to block her and deftly bends over to help you acquire the aggrivating apparel. As she does, she leans low exposing an ample amount of bosom which is enough to quell the muttering from the crowd. As she rises with you scarf entwined in both your hands she fetches it to her breasts and whispers in your ear Act like I'm telling you something REALLY dirty! You splutter and fumble about embarrased which is enough to bring the crowd back roaring in laughter as Thesing in the roll of Haanderthan is dragged off stage in a fury.


The crowd erupts in boisterous applause and you stand with Calsienica hand in hand as the pair of you and the rest of the cast take your bows.

As the applause starts to wain Calsienica whispers Time to leave the stage before they wind down. Always leave them wanting more, eh?

With a sly wink at the last, she disengages your hand and returns to her dressing room.

Robahl watches you come off stage, his face unreadable-Get some rest. We do this for real in three days. He walks away.

I find and thank Calsienica.

"Calsienica, thank you for your help, you certainly saved the rehearsal with your quick thinking when I faltered. Do you have a moment to talk privately?"


Let me change and freshen up. Maybe if you are lucky I'll let you buy me a glass of wine...

~later~

Looking much refreshed and very sexy, You wanted to talk...privately Caldir?, she purrrrs...

When we are someplace private.

"Yes, one good turn deserves another Calsienica, you helped me so I want to return the favor. I wanted to let you know to watch your back with Delour, her fondness for you is an act. Just keep quiet and act the same, if you confront her now the show will be a disaster, and that will ruin us all."


She looks at you stunned and you know she is not acting, How could that be? She reccomended me for this role. She fought to get me this role. Anyone else could have had it. She could have had it! WHY!

Her voice rising with each sentence.

"She helped you get a role in the most dangerous play ever produced, where if some misfortune befell you it would pretty much be expected so no one would expect foul play. As to why, my guess would be she is jealous of a beautiful young rising star that was bound to replace and surpass her."


Tears welling in her eyes, I suppose that makes sense, I just can't believe it; she's been SO nice. Of course we are all professionals, aren't we? Well, except for you. Thank you for this Caldir. I'll keep my eyes much more open from now on. I suppose while we are sharing you understand how much Thesing hates you? I can only imagine he wants you to meet the same fate that Delour hopes for me, and his is the only role that is never in danger. Be careful!

Day 1: go to Jacovo's stables to see how things are going for him


Jacovo smiles at you after welcoming you back to his business and gets you some fresh water, Yup, things were a little tough after ole' Thesing started spewing his venom around town, but dammned if I didn't start getting business from the strangest places. Seemed like all of a sudden guards from the Cader would start coming to my stables every time they needed a horse for something. Now days I can't keep up with the trade I get as a known "associate" of yours Mr. Caldir. If you can pull off the actual play and survive I think I may just be set for life thanks to the coat tails of your celebrity.

"That is welcome news Jacovo! I was very worried that I had ruined your business. For both our sakes I hope the play is a success."


I'm sure you will do fine. You seem to live under a lucky star. Must be Desna trying to make up for your early years or something. Just make sure it doesn't run out on that stage. Bless you for the extra trade you have brought me. Is there aught I can do for YOU?

"Not at the moment, if I ever need a horse though I will be sure to come see you."

Head back to the playhouse.


Back at the playhouse with 2 more days to burn before the performance...

Is there anything I think I need to do before the performance?

Go to the Gate to look for Denros and Tournos.


Nothing comes to mind, just want to make sure that you have an opportunity to do anything you want to do prior to the performance.

You arrive at the Gate to discover that Denros has taken leave to visit his family out in the countryside. The guards inform you that the Captain is at the Keep and they will escort you there if you wish to seek an audience with him.

If Captain Tuornos has the time I would like to meet with him.


A three man squad is assigned to take you to the Keep; a much smaller group than your previous trips their which one of the guards escorting you explains with a laugh, At this point you are probably protecting us more than we you. We DO have to keep up appearances however! Just need to make sure you don't wipe out ALL the villain dens here in the Cader or we will all be out of a job...

You arrive at the Keep after a quick and uneventful journey. The buidling is in good repair and the posted guards are alert and active. Your three man squad leads you up to the Captain's office where you wait outside for about a half an hour before the Captain is able to see you.

You enter the office alone and find Tuornos reviewing some papers with a detailed map of what appears to be the Cader spread on his desk with small pins and dots stuck in it.

Ser Caldir, taking a break from the fame of the stage eh? To what do I owe the honor of your visit?

"A welcome break from the stage indeed, it is not something I would have chosen on my own but one does what one has to, that's the essence of duty I suppose. I hope to be returning to my former pursuits in a few days. How are things in the Cader? Any work that might require my skills?"


Things have been quiet lately, for the Cader. Your, um, prior excursions here seemed to have encouraged folks of ill intent to keep their heads down and thier business discreet. I wish you the best during your performance. I understand it is quite dangerous? Due to my station I will be in attendance, and praying for your safety.

Back into the lion's den, err playhouse.


Last day before the performance; any last words...I mean actions?

Go visit the Nine Star Knights and pick up my 4 potions. My plan is to take a potion for each of the last 4 acts.


Your journey to the shrine of Aroden is uneventful. Arael greets you warmly and presents you with the your cache of potions, I've heard that you become an impressive star of the stage my friend. When we first met, I never imagined that you would be such a multi-faceted gem. Truly Desna has blessed you with talents AND luck. Be safe tomorrow; while none of us will be able to afford a ticket to watch the performance, we will all be outside awaiting word of your results.

"Thank you for the potions, I hope my luck holds and all goes well tomorrow. That way we end up getting the invite we need."
