Ok guys, it seems that was it! :)
I am glad we made it until the end. It was a great adventure, rough at times, but absurdly fun most of time. Thanks a lot at Foxy for patiently enduring us and hosting the game for so long. Bringing up daily posts for so many years is very hard, and I really value that and the fine sense of humor.
Portraying Ohrmizd was a total blast for me, his bold headed personality and abrupt friendliness made for a change of pace to me and resulted in many interesting situations. If I get inspired I might put a closing post for him, he has been my favorite character at many points of the last years and he deserves it.
Finally, thanks a lot to all the players that participated in the campaign, but specially to those of you, Omari and Heshan who shared most of it with me and endured it to the end. Thanks Hazreem for accepting coming into an old game and putting your grain to make it reach to the end. It was great to play with you, and I hope to see you around in the boards :)

Ohrmizd explains Garavel and the villagers about their legendary fight with Jhavhul and all his villain minions "It was a nest of evil genies and demons"
He does nod to Hazreem "Indeed it is as good to be back as terrifying the idea of guarding that place for the rest of our lives, but it is the task we will have to do"
"I think we earned an audience with the princess, and some funds from the Pacmasters to ensure we shut down that place!" he states completely sure of their future success.
"But yeah, let's have some good drinks and dance for today is a day of victory and celebration" he pads Heshan, then Omari and Hazreem "Friends, we earned our place in the annals of story!"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
Ohrmizd nods to Omari and grins to Hazreem and Heshan "Back to our homeland then. It is time we have a real talk with the Princess and put an end to this huge adventure of us"
With that, the Keleshite starts tracing back the stairs that will lead the party outside.

"Good to see those genies still have some sense of self-preservation" Ohrmizd flies over and gets through the eastern exit "Seems we have opened our way back to the entrance. Our job here is done. It is time to make it back home"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
"It is done my Jani friends. Khavul is no more. Pack your stuff and go back home!" Ohrmizd yells flying over the lava on his carpet "Unless you want to meet the blade, arrow and magic that was its doom"

Ohrmizd straightens up, his expression grave as the divine fire of Sarenrae shines faintly in his eyes "Their kind are not mindless beasts. They are cruel, cunning, and born of Hell's flames. They can shift planes at will, but even so, they despise humiliation. If we trap them with force and flame, they may fight to the death rather than flee. And if they flee... so be it, for their presence here will trouble the world no more"
He rests his hand upon his scimitar, then looks to his companions "Black tentacles will hold them. Strike swift and without mercy, burn their bodies so they cannot return to plague these halls again, Heshan"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
Ohrmizd smiles at Hazreem "I share your thoughts. I was taken by gnolls when I was just a small kid. They took my family, or so I think, for I have never seen them again. It just felt good when we managed to wipe them out here and in Kalmerane"
"Anyway, seems it is time for us to go" the Keleshite points to the eastern exit "All the way to the entrance, I guess"

"For the Downflower! We have been deceived!" Ohrmizd raises his scimitar while casting divine power "These are Erinyes! Evil devils! No prisoner ladies on need of help!"

After crossing the doors, he straightens his robes as the angelic figures come into view "You are safe now. Jhavhul is dead, slain by our capable and heroic hands. Whatever bindings held you here are broken. You are free to leave this place"
He lets the weight of the words settle gently in the air, offering them the dignity of truth.

"Seems like it is time to check what was it guarding" Ohrmizd waits a bit for healing, then, when everyone is ready, he tries to open the door.

"Oh, I am pretty sure we are allowed to enter. We are the owners of this place now" Ohrmizd raises his voice annoyed "We have killed Jhavhul. Your commands have been replaced, you will serve us now"

Ohrmizd halts as the brass guardian stirs, but raises a hand in a calm, open gesture rather than reaching for a weapon.
"Hey! Good day, tin guardian" he says evenly, his tone steady with curiosity "You wouldn't happen to know what's behind that door, would you?"

"Or he was an illusion just of itself. That type of demon does not have any means to return to its plane, other than killing him" Ohrmizd looks up a bit worried.
Perception:1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 22 + 2 = 31
After some search, he shrugs and moves on, accepting Hazreem suggestion "Ok, let's go check those pillars to the west then"

Ohrmizd floats on hi carpet, a few feet above the crystal floor, arms crossed as he regards the glabrezu with calm authority "Yes, I bring news, Jhavul is dead, and with him, all pacts and promises binding you to this place are broken. You may thank us or not, but the wise choice now would be to return to your native plane and trouble this world no more"
Intimidate:1d20 + 29 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 29 + 2 = 40
He points the place the party is coming from, to make clear they come from Jhavhul's chambers, so the demon understand they have had to face him by sure.

"It should be possible to revert what Jhavhul did here. But destroying the heart of the Firebleeder is a different topic. The gods themselves would need to intervene for that." Ohrmizd explains as he examines the topic.
"Why don't we just pick up Jhavul's body with us for now? We might find the way to disintegrate it or just find a wish that help us prevent his return" the Kheleshite observes.
"As about what to do with the place... we can try to create that earthquake once we are out... or we can talk with the remaining genies to maybe build a temple here to protect the place against further attempts to raise the Firebleeder" Ohrmizd sighs at that point "If no one else offers to, I could devote the rest of my life at building a monastery and an order here for such goal. If nothing else, I think I would find Sarenrae's favor to commit to seal this place from evilness for the time being"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
Ohrmizd sits patiently for the magics to take its curse "The divine path requires so much patience of sacrifice. I am glad you were here to bring that into the party Omari" the Kheleshite observes, only standing up when the ritual is finished "What about Jhavul's own ritual? Anyway we can destroy that skull too?"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
"Look at that" Ohrmizd observes impressed at the treasury "It seems we are rich at the end of all this"
"I tell you this, if I do not get a private audience with the Princess after all this, I am going to be very pissed off for using this to help rebuild the town just for the next genie who decides to come visit us"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
"Well, easy that was. Everyone saved" Ohrmizd states confident seeing his friends now free and going. He takes a bite at the food at the mansion "It would be a pity to see this spoiled..."
When the group is ready he points back "We still have to get out of this place and reach Kelmerane. Unless you want to travel magically again, I would say we take the first tunnel to the east and try to circle around"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
"Yeah, it seems we need to make you out of here. Hear Seriyle, she is a friend of us" Ohrmizd obeys himself, sheathing his scimitar and offering his left hand to Heshan while taking Rombard from the neck "Otherwise we will need to carry you flying in carpets and big friends, it is going to be cumbersome and dangerous and take some time"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
"Rombard!!!" Ohrmizd runs to hug the goat escapist "I thought you were lost! Hadrod and Hadrah, good to see you are safe too! I have been missing that stew of yours"
The Kheleshite nods to Garavel then "You see boss, your gold has well paid off, we found you, we stopped Jhavul and his ritual"
He even has an smile for the Father Zastoran "Long time no see. How is your back doing?"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
"Damned invisible creatures!" Ohrmizd swears, and noticing Hazreem is on trouble, commands the carpet to fly towards him at full speed.
He uses his second judgement ability to swap the purity effect to justice and casts judgement light.
A burst of amber and blue light envelopes Hazreem and his environs, protecting the druid elemental and revealing the invisible creatures.
Active judgements: protection and justice (15 rounds)
Protection: Amber light erupts from the caster, granting allies in the burst a +2 sacred bonus to AC and CMD, and a +4 bonus to AC against critical confirmation attack rolls for 1 round per caster level.
Justice: Blue light erupts from the caster, revealing hidden and invisible creatures to all. The light outlines such creatures for 1 round per caster level, imposing a –20 penalty on Stealth checks on those creatures.

"I would like to give him the chance to explain himself. Yet I feel redemption is past himself, and regretfully he already rejected the chance a minute ago" Ohrmizd looks down at the body full of sadness, whether for a live that he has to end, or because it brings the end of this grand goal and that will leave the Keleshite without purpose "I guess you are right, it would be to dangerous to let him live"
With a mixture of resignation and resolve, Ohrmizd grasps Zenzirad by the pommel with both his hands, and pointing it down, he heavily makes it rest on the iffrit with sure hand.

"Garavel must be one of the prisoners for we did not find him in Kelmenare. The man is a grouchy scrooge that has not paid us in months..." the Kheleshite elaborates drawing a coin in the air with his blade "...but somehow I do appreciate the old oak, we might as well look to save him"
He does help indeed identify the items and try to find out if the pulses have ceased and what type of ritual was the efreeti conducting.

"Those are good points. But how do we make sure he is dead for sure and does not return?" Ohrmizd eyes the lava pool "Throw him into the molten lava? But still we have no idea why he was doing all this, and whether his minions can complete his work or not"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
Ohrmizd does his best to try maintain himself alive, parrying to right and left while holding Jhavhul distracted. Despite his best effort the genie's blade is massive, but the Keleshite manages to keep alive one more turn, enough to leave time to his friends deal with him at range.
With the grand enemy collapsing, Ohrmizd looks down judgemental and points to the body with his scimitar, Zenzirad, earned at the fires of a distant plane "And that is what happens when you try to invade Golarion. Serve as judgement for all evilness that might want to come"
Descending to the ground, he checks the fallen body "This was Jhavhul, isn't it? I mean... look at the blade... and the horns..."
If detect magic does not find strong magical items on the body, Ohrmizd will doubt this is the big boss.
