I received word of a Hellmouth that has been spawning devils for the past few months since we went on the message to rescue Armiger Mutt. It turns out that in oder to get Armiger Mutt's freedom, Fen, Chrys, and Sahona had no choice but to make deals with the devils who had kidnapped it, the terms of which included opening three Hellmouths, and we set out to close the one Chrys was tied to. The first wave of abominations we encountered were Lemures chained to some petitioners, and a few Zebub's who immediately turned invisible. There were also a number of Imps, Hellhounds, Barbazu, and Hellbound Attorneys. The Lemures did not seem to acknowledge Berta, and just ran past her as she charged in. It was not long before I found out why, because they were going after me instead. I considered this a good thing, for a foe that rushes to their deaths is a pathetic foe indeed. Apollon seems a little too willing to forgive devils. This is most worrying, however his magic has proven to be effective in removing enemies from the fight for a time. Berta, Tuli, and Chrys rushed in towards the Hellmouth, while Apollon, Amani, Samir and I got swarmed by enemies early on. I would have rushed in to join Chrys and Berta, but I could not leave Apollon and Samir to face the wave of enemies surrounding them alone, but Apollon was confident he could take on that many foes at once, so I ran to catch up with Berta and Chrys. The longer the fight dragged on, the more enemies we got swarmed with. The numbers started to get overwhelming after a while. As we got closer to the Hellmouth, it started using dangerous spells, such as a lightningbolt and a fireball. When Apollon, Berta, and Chrys started approaching the Hellmouth, it started charging a big laser that it fired at Apollon. As much as I hated doing this, I had to leave Tuli to a big swarm of enemies to make sure the rest of my team got the job done. After a grueling battle, Chrys fired off a divine lance and closes the Hellmouth. Oh yeah, I almost forgot we left Samir to fight a big group of enemies alone, too.
