Day 163 October 12th 1005 continued:
Meeting with Yigu'ha Sv'euss later that afternoon. In the past several days, the Hextorites have brought the Royal Alchemist seven greater tanar'ri carcasses in good condition, three beheaded, as well as the headless and one handed body of the Demon Lord Kostchtchie. Sv'euss extends 1000gpv each for the babau, and 10,000gpv for the Demon Lord. Sv'euss opens his premium cabinets of potions for Raven and Zachery's inspection.

Raven encourages the Royal Alchemist to make certain types of potions; poison, flying, superheroism, heroism, and wizardry, for a guaranteed buyer. Business concluded, Sv'euss asks Raven and Zachery about there audience with Exorix, Meyr N'Mindel and the Drakeer Archmage Paraswarn the Red in Diescroth,
Day 165 - October 14th, 1005.
(As a recap - Raven presented four shrunken white dragon heads, with promise of two more, and after a good debriefing, invited the Drakeer Archmage to scry-analyze 3 powerful items of unknown ability; Kostchtchie's hammer, Kostchtchie's ring, and the Orb of the Great White Serpent. Exorix offered the prices of two white dragon heads for the price of the item identifications - to which Raven agrees. Exorix took the heads, and promised an audience at Diescroth with himself, Meyr N'Mindel and the Archmage in three days, Day 165 - October 14th, 1005.) Sv'euss has autopsied and bottled the Demon Lord's body for components, and previously removed the hand for the three's analysis. Raven reclaims the remains for final, and hopefully absolute, disposal. Sv'euss expects the three items to be of interest. He queries... Any plans for them? He also hints an alliance within the Order of the Eclipse is brewing surrounding the items' future. He will not attend the meeting.
Raven and Zachery return via teleport to Diescroth with there loot and the carcass.
Zachery and Raven meet with Ardon, Helm, Skell, and Zenar. After all is discussed, three points surface as an immediate priority, 1.) the meeting with the inner circle of the Order of the Eclipse for identification of Kostchtchie's items, 2.) the destruction of the Demon Lord's body, 3.) the resurrection of Bellam. Tasks are assigned - the disintegration destruction of the Demon Lord's will begin immediately by Ardon and Raven. Zenar begins the necromatic ritual to prepare Bellam for revival. Zachery and Skell will complete preparations for a feast for the Order's arrival, while Helm will keep the masses generally enthused and be available for any surprises. Once the body is destroyed, the meeting concluded and the artifact secure will Adron begin the resurrection process for Bellam.
The meeting takes place in the banquet hall in the keep at the platform's center. With all prepared, sixteen dark horsemen ride through the mountain pass at magical speed towards the Black Swamp. Six are of the Order of the Eclipse; Paraswarn the Red, Exxorix, Meyr N'Mindel, Kistokain, Dannebrag, Danubius, and Windy Jape (Sv’Veuss). They are accompanied by 10 black drakeer guard. They are met by Ardon, Raven, Helm, Zachery, Zenar, Skell, Majelor, UlaZaada, and the Necromancer. The banquet begins once the Saros, the inner circle of the Order of the Eclipse, gallops across the waters of the Black Swamp to the platform city of Diescroth.
Meyr N'Mindel has brought the requested 5th level domination spell to identify three items; the Hammer of Kostchtchie, the White Orb of the Great Serpent, and the cursed Ring of Famulus.
Hammer of Kostchtchie
Huge hammer +4 of cold iron inlaid with nickel and silver. An opponent hit must save vs. paralysis or be stunned and unable to act for that round and the round after.

The ring and hammer required containment fields to avoid drifting back to their master. Parasarn agrees with the New Hextorites' decision to cast both into the ethereal plane; as the Demon Lord's calling is becoming stronger, and to avoid an immediate crisis. The artifact remains. Ardon announces he will retire as the Arch-Hierarch of Hextor, High Priest of Diescroth, and enter the Order of the Eclipse to further his wizardry training - and keep an eye on the artifact, to be held in the Inner Sanctum of the Saros. Zenar will be elevated to High Priest of Diescroth, first temple to the New Hextorites. Skell will also follow Ardon, acting as his body guard and peer. Four dragonheads are left to trade: for the moment, these will be considered a future fund pool to use for further Diescroth infrastructure development, i.e. shoring up defenses. This will be held for future payment to the Cult of the Dragon due to arrive in the upcoming months. They will be contracted to increase the production of drakeer warriors to protect the Saros against attack in the murky future. It is made understood this is a good arrangement, and the Hextorites goal to continue a Northern campaign is both beneficial and profitable. Raven, Zachery are initiated into the Saros as adepts, Ardon and Skell as apprentices'. Any remaining and future members begin in the Order of the Eclipse, advancing through normal channels.
The feast concludes and the guests retire, but most are gone with the coming of the dawn, as if they were never there. Exorrix remains to bring the new recruits to the Black Chapel once the resurrection has concluded. A personal guard of three black drakeer warriors stays with Exorrix until the transfer is complete.
