Ch 6, Part 2: The Ice Queen

It isn't long before the first of the castles guards rush to meet the heroes, three grey maidens who are quickly cut down.

Immediately following them are three hell hounds and the sound of the queen's oration calling for her loyal subjects to protect her and the throne.

The hell hounds are easily beaten, but more guards have had time to rally. Almost a dozen grey maidens as well as wells as ome devils including a particular brutish horned devil. Also arriving on the scene is Togomor, the 'Dean of the Academy' an obese and ugly man.

The battle turns against the heroes as a number of the heroes fall victim to a prismatic spray, but as time has proven, the resources of the heroes run deep. Mandraiv who was shunted to another plane uses the necklace of prayer beads to summon a powerful Solar to rescue him and save the heroes.

The solar transports Mandraiv back to the prime material plane and be fore long both Mandraiv and the Solar rejoins the battle. With the powerful angel fighting for them to battle is quickly won.

They slay the queen but discover she is nothing but a simulcrum made of ice.

Shortly after the battle another devil attacks the party but it is cut down in record time.
