Guardians 2 Rakshasa 0
As the battle begins, Duvall lays some heavy offense alongside powerful lair actions that temporarily banish the Guardians or re-position them into unfavorable spaces. However, the Guardians are able to maneuver around Edson Duvall and pull off several combinations of attacks to tear Duvall’s form. Wulf exchanges equally powerful blows with Duvall. At the same time, the El, Corvus, and Atheya barrage him with attacks. Blood, keen to end the battle, releases his fiend arrow at Duvall and critically wounds the Rakshasa; before they even have a chance to celebrate, Duvall calls out to an unknown “divine” entity which twists and turns the room they are fighting and relocates the Guardians to a more hellish landscapes of small lands connected by chains among a large gate. From the gate emerges Edson Duvall in a new and terrifying form.
In round 2, Duvall releases a fiery breath from the Guardians, shaking them up, and follows up with a terrifying barrage of attacks. Several Guardians are immediately in a dangerous situation and must regroup to survive. However, before the situation improves, a gate opens, and several creatures appear to aid Duvall. With the situation getting worse by the second, the Guardians rally. Corvus leaps into action and delivers a flourish of blows that dispatch most of the reinforcements. Wulf and Blood occupy Duvall’s attention and receive the brunt of his attack. Meanwhile, Eltuire can perceive that the runes around the gate can be dispelled and closed. Atheya, seeing her chance, dispels the gate and cuts off DUvall’s reinforcements. Before the gate can completely close, another figure is able to push through and enter the fray. Lexa, an “ally” to the Guardians, appears and provides them with assistance, and Duvall another target.
With Moonblade in hand, Lexa unleashes a deadly barrage onto Duvall; fighting through the powerful effects of the lair and Duvall’s might, the heroes gradually turn the tide of the battle. However, Duvall's strength seems endless; he begins to overwhelm the likes of Blood, Lexa, and Atheya. With resources running low and Duvall turning this encounter deadly. Eluire reaches into her case and pulls out a forgotten scroll and vial. Consuming the vial and casting True Polymorph on both Lexa and Blood. El turned them into the most powerful creature she could visualize as the most recent one that tried to kill her, a Silver Dragon. With this, Duvall’s fate is sealed; as he roars and crashes with the Dragons, the combined forces of the Guardians, aided by two silver dragons, ultimately lead to Duvall’s demise. Blood provides the finishing blow.
With Duvall defeated, the heroes return to the chamber they were in before to find Lysandra waiting and applauding the heroes' triumph. With glee, Lysandra comes to an agreement with the Guardians for ten percent.
Ten Celestial Children
Duvall’s Journal
Frieda’s contract
Lysandra provides transport to the Hollowed Inn for Corvus to retrieve Frieda. Frieda jumps into his arms, calling him a hero. Irrespective of his well-deserved title, Corvus brings Frieda outside, and the group escapes to Alya. Upon arriving, Lexa offers to take the children somewhere safe within the Divine Panosphical. The Guardians stand there, having returned from the hells mostly in one piece and freeing Atheya from any burden from Duvall; the Guardians complete this task, but more adventure lies in wait.
