Four hours had passed sense they had left the elven encampment. It did not take much effort for their new wagon and its team of horses to pull up over a hill outside the city of Zaphere. The city looked like it had seen its worse. The biggest thing to take notice of was towards the entrance was bodies. They were dead with blood staining the dirt below them. a few children could be seen. Anyone who resisted the demons were right there. However, as the got closer they saw that it wasn't just the city that suffered losses. The demons had as well as their own bodies littered the streets. Vivian stopped the wagon at the entrance and began to lead the horses to the side and hopped off unhooking them and taking them to the stalls. Once she had done that she proceeded down the dirt road taking in all that there was to be seen. Clerics, paladins, city guards and soldiers, and civilians all laid before them. Some where left alive in their homes but anyone caught trying to escape would meet a swift death. As she moved along she then noticed a very familiar tavern sign and moved to it. She pushed the door in and walked into the Oasis. Her hands on her swords as she did so. 

       What she saw was a slightly empty tavern. She said slightly because she saw at a table sat a halfling. Right beside him sat a woman dressed like a priestess of some holy order or something with her white robes. She had short black hair and was a bit pale. She did however know who the halfling was. She ran to the table and stopped. "Ellis?... is everything fine?"

 Ellis perked a brow and nodded. "Here? Yes,... out there? not so much." He said smiling and gesturing for her to sit. She instead moved to hug him before sitting. Once she did she looked to the woman and then back to him. "Whose this?"

 Ellis smiled and rose his head up with pride. "This, is the new and improved Ceris. Corellan Larethian saved her and placed her back in her original body. Now we sit here as a bit of a resistance movement against Eliphas. We are losing,... the order and the city seems to be able to hold itself for awhile but the demons never end. Thus I have found someone that can help us with that..." He said and got up to lead everyone who entered down into the basement.

  When they did they would see a drow, named Samuel tied to a chair with a missing hand and torn leather armor from cuts and and bruises. His toes crushed and his remaining hand smashed. "Been working a number on him but he hasn't talked. I have not given up on him yet. See we need to locate where Eliphas is and he is not making it easy. This loyal bastard wont talk." He said.

   "Also was visit a hour or two ago in my head by Corellan Larethian. We have a new quest. To find some weapon and activate it or something? Apparently this weapon defeated Eliphas before but it failed to make the death permament." He explained. He then sighed and moved to a table showing maps of the catacombs. "Apparently it is in a secret chamber down in catacombs some where." He explained.

 Garrek just stood there looking at the drow male in the seat and thought maybe he could but it seemed like the halfling was giving up on trying to. He shrugged listening to it all. So this woman, was the lich in the city. Interesting. He wanted to know her story but that could wait.
