Chapter 57 - The Red Hold (Prince of Undeath - Part 2)



Summary:
To commandeer Shevaithan, the adventurers need to release it from its moorings-a mystic binding that takes place as soon as they kill the ship's captain.
In addition, they learn that the best way to use the ship to reach the depths of the Abyss where Orcus's plans unfold is to make themselves appear to be more demonic.
The solution to both of these dilemmas can be found only in Orcus's citadel of Everlost-and specifically in the Prince of Undeath's inner sanctum, the Red Hold.
The portal on the chaos ship sends the party to the entrance of Orcus's bastion. Though the demon lord is not in residence, the adventurers must fight their way through his servitors and the Red Hold's deadly defenses.
After successfully freeing the ship and masking their presence in demonic essences found in the citadel, the adventurers learn that two other chaos ships have already launched and are traveling downward upon orders from Orcus.
The ships plan to rendezvous at a place called the Forge of Four Worlds. The adventurers must use their commandeered ship to follow.
