Battle of Donetzi

Once the Heroes of Castow were informed that the Devils would make an attempt to cross over to the Eru plane via the portal in the Donetzi Templar's basement, they acted quickly to construct a nuke. Duncan was sent ahead to rally his Templars for the defense.

On the first night of the attack, before the Heroes of Castow arrived, the Donetzi Templars' portal changed color and Devils began pouring out. The fighting was fierce, lasting well into the next morning, but the Templars killed many of the attacking Devils and drove the remainder back into the portal. Although the second attack was repulsed, Knight-Commander Irving was mortally wounded and carried upstairs on a stretcher.

Soon, the Heroes of Castow arrived. Hankory and Duncan shared a tender moment before the latter passed away.

Now, Hankory took command of the Donetzi Templars. He and his companions entered the basement, only to encounter the Doge of Donetzi. The Doge taunted the Heroes of Castow, saying that Snorri's deal was up. Combat ensued.

During a critical moment in the fighting, the Doge grew Devil's claws and seized Stevilious around the throat. At this moment, Stevilious used the Maguffin Crystal to channel the power of his ancenstors, becoming a tree ent and, with a blast of electricity, flung the screaming Doge back into the portal. A strike from Hankory's glaive passed right through where the doge had been just a moment before.

With no time to ask Stevilious what the fuck just happened, the heroes moved aside to launch the nuke. It entered the portal, which began fluctuating wildly. A massive suction was created which pulled everything not nailed down towards it.

Jimothy was rooted by a curse fired at him from the Doge, but all the rest: Hankory, Snorri, Stevilious and Ser Ious were sucked into the portal to hell.

The battle was won, but the cost had been very great indeed.
