Turn 23
Huzzah! That was a great show my good man, let me introduce myself, I'm Lysander Blackgaurd, a demonologist, pleased to meet you, now, shall we see what the undead had on them? - Lysander introduced himself then asked.
The Duke's gear belongs to me as victor of the duel, and if you touch his corpse without my permission I will not protect you from the dangers of the undead - Reynald replied harshly.

So hello everyone... uh is that a dark spirit? What did you guys do now? Forget it, I dont want to know. Someone get rid of the dark spirit please. And we need to talk later. - Pguhyuh said to his companions, then turned to Lyirah and said:
Lyirah, so this is the team. Team, this is Lyirah. Please dont discuss about religion and gods. Awkward silence.
This situation is extremely stressing and confusing - he quickly added.
We're killin' an angel now? A'right then. - Dennis shouted out.
I'm going to explore the rest of this place, anyone want to come with me? - inquisitor changed his mind and Lysander decided to explore the keep.
Who are you? - demonologist asked, but then he quickly added:
Wait, it doesn't matter, after all I don't think anyone has told me their name. I know this lady better than anyone here,
and we met a moment ago. We should share stories.
[1] Lysander moved onwards towards throne room, but in the last moment turned towards kitchen, where he stumbled upon a huge, bloated undead with a cleaver in it's dead hands.
Ah... Fresh meat! - it yelled upon noticing him!
[6] In the face of imminent death, Lysander's powers strenghtened! A first bond with demon would come with no price and he could have as many bonds as he wished, but each next bond comes with greater price in life and faith!
[1] Reynald rushed to aid Jeremiah, trying to get him to safety, but the dark spirit recovered quickly from Aaron's punches and noticed him!
[Reynald: 5 -1, Fallen angel: 5] It sent a dark bolt at him that just barely connected and fraction of it's power wounded inquisitor and knocked him to the ground! When hitting the ground, he thought about a way to split damage with his enemies and received a new ability that should work on undead.
[3] Seeing his companions on the brink of death, Aaron accepted his dragon heritage and his body started to change. Small, white scales quickly replaced his skin and his face stretches into dragon-like snout. Feeling the blood of dragons in his veins, he developed a frost aura!
[Aaron: 3, Fallen angel: 1] Wanderer's frost aura formed a small snowstorm around him that hit at dark spirit and immobilised it. Aaron raised his espadon and with an upward slash split dark spirit in half, then with sideways slashes he sliced it into small pieces and it exploded, spreading ghostly dust around!
[6] Pguhyuh tried to gather his thoughts but they were flowing into his mind like crazy until he clinged to just one - someone to fill a gap between demons and humans. With a bit of arcane energy, he received a demonic seal that should keep demons at neutral attitude towards him!
[5] At the same time, Smoke undergo a metamorphosis! He burst in flames and clouds of smoke, melting to a puddle of tar, from which he regrown taller and stronger, his body having now more smoke openings from which fire and smoke could get and several spikes and blades that could be hidden or extended. Several new small eyes appeared around his main eyes, and his maw got more razor sharp teeth. From smoke imp, he turned into smoke phantasm!
[3] Pguhyuh searched one of fallen knight corpses. It's armor was quite damaged, but longsword it possessed was in quite good shape. Within ashes he also found a small ring without a jewel.
[6] Next demonologist looked around if there's anything worth attention in the entry hall, but Aaron slicing a dark spirit caught his attention.
[2] Dennis wanted to attack fallen angel, but Aaron killed it quicker.
[3] Peasant wanted to check a new pitchfork trick that he learned on it, that would probably deal much more damage.
[6] Jeremiah retrieved his consciousness for a moment and hastily set a banishing chant then fell unconscious again, but Aaron already killed fallen angel and the beam of blue light targeted at him!
[1] Aaron didn't see that coming and the beam connected, banishing him to underworld! The banishment felt like a subtle nibble, then turned into pain of thousands of needles getting into his body, the everything disappeared and there was only void...
[4] Being unconscious, exorcist somehow got a strange nightmare showing his way through pain and torment. This spiritually strenghtened Jeremiah.
[6] After a while spent in void, Aaron got dragged by some strange force down the pits of underworld. He flewn through valleys full of wandering dead, demonic fortresses surrounded by magma moats and flied with other tormented souls until he ended down in the darkest, lowest part of Underworld. To the dungeons of Purgatory he was sent, where shackles made of holy energy bound him to a wall in one of cells. He'd most probably would be set free when he returns to his corporeal form, but how to find a way back? He had no idea.

OOC
A bit chaotic turn...
There was a boss hiding in the kitchen that Lysander ran into, it should be weaker than the Duke though.
Undead Knight's longsword - 40 physical damage, can be used with shield, undead taint forbids inquisitors and exorcists to use this weapon, it must be purged first
Ring without jewel - a decent base for making weak power charms
The votes showed that Dennis should become a duke. He is now a Duke of Height Keep. This sub-class gives him: a skill of Duke's Charm, which allows to turn enemy into ally for 2 turns, Masterful Taunt skill which if successful gives taunted enemy -1 penalty to next roll and improved Greed that gives +2 to loot finding rolls
Since it was stated that spirit walking makes one weak against any kind of skill or damage that can be applied to dark spirit, Aaron got banished. Enjoy your stay in the Underworld!
