Lictor Zeal calls on associates to help hunt down the location of hellmouths.
Log
Early in the morning, Pomba gets a notice that the leader of the Hellknights is looking for help hunting down something called a hellmouth. Apparently Zeal is being hunted by devils? Pomba doesn't quite get it, but the idea is Zeal is using himself as bait to figure out where they are, since they want to kill him. Pomba's brother Boophis came, as well as his new friend Miss Amber May!
Zeal gathers us all at sunrise, and has us march north, and nothing happens for a full day. We eventually reach a road alongside a river, and discover a group of devils. Boophis makes us big, and Zeal gave Pomba something that he slathered his hands with, which apparently devils get hurt by? They see Zeal and begin chasing him down, teleporting and running. One of the devils looks more fearsome than the rest, and hits Pomba as he tries to make a move. The beard-o makes Pomba bleed, but thankfully Pomba had some ointment for his wounds!
A bunch of monsters came forward and ended up blocking Pomba's way, but they were too focused on Zeal, and they couldn't even dent his armor! There were some invisible flying enemies too, but they stopped being invisible and kept trying to stab us. Miss Amber May got poisoned and it sounded like she was having a hard time. One of the beardy devils got angry at Boophis for his magic, but thankfully Miss Amber May stopped him in his tracks!
There was a devil in the back who kept summoning devils, but we couldn't quite get through the wall of devils, so Boophis jumped onto the high ground while Miss Amber May and Pomba kept hitting the devils who were trying to back stab Zeal. We eventually beat our way through one side of the wall, and Pomba made his charge towards the summoner, taking out more of the flying devils along the way. When Pomba got close, the devil in the back reminded Pomba of the time he ripped the door off the warehouse! It wasn't Pomba's fault, the door was already broken!
Pomba was able to reach the legal devil, and grabbed it, but it slipped out of Pomba's grasp and tripped him up! It beat Pomba up with its cane, and when he came too, Zeal had already taken care of the weak devils, and Miss Amber May had finished off the remaining flyer and the lawyer. We didn't find a hellmouth, but Zeal got a good idea on where to start looking now, since the devils were already there, so Pomba and the others went home!
