Ka'kara carries Gregori out and takes advantage of his sleeping form... ;)
heheh
On the bright side, it turns out that the Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location that the succubus was carrying did not belong to Elinda Bannon. If you sell it (as you probably should) that's another 2500 gp for you each.
Later, after Elinda recovered somewhat from your ordeal, she tells the story over a few mugs of mulled wine in Arb Angus’s quarters. He seems palpably relieved that the wizard is alright after all things. It turns out that on one of her exploits she came upon an artefact named Mamuthek’s Aperture, with the power of opening links to diverse planes. Elinda first thought that the device was for communication, but it turned out that it was able to bring otherworldly creatures bodily into the Prime Material Plane. All it needed was a piece of soil from the appropriate plane and a piece of the creature to be summoned.
Unfortunately one of her early experiments with it (or possibly a flaw in the very item) summoned a Succubus that overpowered Elinda and stole the artefact. As Elinda delved into the dungeon to put things right she was yet again defeated and kept prisoner as the Succubus, in the guise of Elinda, tried to raise a demonic army, accidentally summoning a number of strange creatures in the process.
Elinda now considers the artefact too dangerous to keep, not least since she discovered a familiar “M” sign on its underside. She therefore has sent for a delegation of dwarves from Thunderhold, led by a paladin of Torag that’s a good friend of hers, to retrieve it and to store it safely where it can’t be used for evil purposes (and possibly help by gating in an angel or two in critical circumstances).
That concludes your adventures in the Grey Citadel, but I guess you’ll want to stick around until Elinda and Ulf Ironfist have produced your items. You get one hero point each for the resolution.
A familiar 'M' , miss ?

Tika's harrowing description of the bodak makes the terrified Arb Angus raise your bounty with 2000 gp. That's his limit though. Not get spending so we can move on.
