Description
The alert was given by the fishermen in the early afternoon. Five red-sail, skull and crossbones vessels were heading for Farshore. The bell was rung and everyone went to their battle stations.
By mid-afternoon the dreaded pirate ships finally appeared and anchored in the bay fifty meters from the shore. One could hear their cries of rage and their promises of an atrocious death. Catapults mounted on the ships began to shoot out their deadly projectiles, fortunately causing more damage than they caused casualties.
While Liam, Uthred and Alysin were busy defending the village, Kyalani Anariel and Fira teleported to one of the ships from which fireballs were fired and defeated a Yuan-Ti sorcerer before sinking the ship.
After long and perilous battles against flesh-eating golems and vrock demons the adventurers were finally joined by Lady Lavinia .
A heavy flapping of wings was suddenly heard. Everyone turned around. Approaching them, a creature half-man half-demon came forward with a wicked smile on his face. Two large black leather wings with fearsome claws framed his scale-covered body. His long greasy hair fell on his bearded face topped by small horns and two merciless red eyes.
"V...Vanthus?" Lavinia whined.
"How perceptive you are, Lavinia. It's heartwarming when a loved one recognizes you," replied the creature who had been her brother.
"But what has happened to you? You are... monstrous! »
"Ha ha ha! Monstrous... Here come the insults. It's your fault and the fault of these insignificant little brats that we're here today. Join me and we can discuss the future of our family in peace. »
"Lavinia isn't going anywhere, you scum," intervened Liam.
"You big bastard, shut your mouth and let the grown-ups talk. »
"Vanthus," intervened Lavinia, "or whatever you are now, know that for me you died the night our parents died, and what stands before me today is nothing but a sinister masquerade, a vileness that bears the appearance of my brother as a vile parasite. I curse your appearance, creature. Return to the abyss from whence you came and never return to Farshore! »
"You speak well, sister, you've always been good at saying nice things. But today you don't have a voice. Join me, I ORDER YOU! »
Kyalani felt the foul exhalation of a domination spell but was unable to react in time. Lavinia walked towards Vanthus, staring.
"I'm the one who's going to fight you, you bastard! It's time for you to go away for good," Liam replied as he rushed towards the demon, who carelessly parried his attack with a skillful backhanded sword.
"You fool, you can't defeat me! Go fight the remaining pirates in the village and leave the adults alone! »
"Well, I'll do that," Liam replied before walking away from Vanthus' mocking gaze.
"Liam! "Uthred shouted," but what are you doing? »
"He's bewitched, that's what he does," replied Fira, who tried in vain to break the enchantment.
Kyalani wanted to hold Liam back, but the young man pushed her back unceremoniously before leaving with a resolute step.
"You motherfucker! "Uthred shouted and rushed towards Vanthus.
"Go take care of Liam instead," Kyalani shouted. "You can't do anything to him! Aly, hold Lavinia back, please! Anariel, wait a moment, I have something for you. »
"What about me? Do I have stinky ass or what? "Fira asked.
Alysin obeyed Kyalani and restrained Lavinia who could do nothing against the young bakluni's grip. Uthred had left in pursuit of his brother. Kyalani turned her attention to Anariel.
"Ready to take flight ? "she asked as she cast the spell on the half elf who, as she saw it in her eyes, was eager to face Vanthus.
"More than ready, Kya," replied Anariel, who immediately flew off to meet the Lemorian.
"Goddamn it! "Fira complained. "I was about to throw divine fire into his muzzle. I can't with Anariel next by now! »
In the air, the confrontation was raging and Anariel deployed all her skills in the presence of the demon. Vanthus had already found himself in a bad position on several occasions.
"Fira... I can fly you too if you want," said Kyalani.
"If I want? By the sacred blade, do it! I think the little one needs me up there! »
Kyalani made a dubious face, but cast her last flying spell on the fiery priestess, who in turn rose in the air before she threw her sword with all her might at the Lemorian, who screamed in pain and rage.
"You deserved it, you bastard! Now you're going to regret the day you didn't die! »

"Haaa! I shit on your god, priestess! I shit on you and your kind. You're only women and I'm a Lemorian! You have no idea who you're up against! »
"The problem with you evildoers," said Anariel as the trio soared over the battlefield, "is that you are used to being more powerful than all the people you meet. "A sharp blow opened Vanthus' arm. " And so, you become overconfident. "A jab pierced his leg. " And that' s when someone like me comes along and slits your throat! "Anariel's sword swept away the lower part of the Lemorian's face, leaving only a few shreds of flesh hanging from his lower jaw. Vanthus uttered an inhuman gurgling sound.
"You were told to shut your mouth, you bastard! "said Fira.
Vanthus, dazed and badly wounded, found the strength to pull something out of his pocket. A kind of big black pearl with iridescent reflections. Kyalani understood what it was. The same kind of object that had caused the disaster at Kraken's Cove. With a lump in her stomach, she aimed at Vanthus with her last spell, a ray of flame that hit him hard. The Lemorian's face disappeared in the flames as he fell to the ground.
"The pearl! "she shouted. "Catch the pearl! Catch the bead! »
Anariel was faster but failed to grab the object by a few inches. Fira dove towards the jewel and grabbed it just a few heartbeats before it shattered into the monster's blood on the ground. She fell heavily headfirst. Kyalani ran up.
"The pearl! It's not broken at least, Fira? »
"I'm fine, thank you," Fira mumbled.
"The pearl Fira, for the love of your god! »
"It's okay, it's in my hand. It's not broken, no. But I must have a rib that went up my ass..."
Kyalani seizes the pearl. Its appearance was so disturbing that she quickly covered it with a cloth before delicately putting it at the bottom of her bag. It was a close call, but they'd won. Farshore was spared.
