    Meanwhile, the men have the bathroom to tackle.

    I have no idea how bad the bathroom is. I'm a little scared to find out!

    Loot is loot. Chores are chores. The two have nothing to do with each other.

    Oh the bathroom. Imagine the horror stories told by the likes of minimum wage fast food employees and add on years of neglect.

    The urinals are lucky enough to be little more than dusty, even if underneath they're grimy and upleasant. The stalls are a different story. The walls of each side are covered with graffiti, while the floor around the toilets are grimy and brown. Every single toilet has a black ring around the inside. The very worst is the final stall, where there's something... large and hairy clogging the toilet.

    Doesn't look like these two will be getting along too well then. The Wizard prefers almost the polar opposite approach, fighting only it absolutely necessary.

    I'm sure that works quite well ma'am, but- The roaring becomes sobbing and the Wizard's speech falters, looking to where the path dips farther down into the blackness and towards the source of the noise. A demon, crying? That... didn't seem quite right.

    But I think I must insist we at least try the binding ritual before you attempt to bludgeon it to death.

    "It's already been bound, and we know that that didn't work. It was fine for maybe several hundred years, but now the spell's failing. Binding it again will have the same problem. Kill it, however, and it probably won't cause any more trouble." Undead demons being the 'probably'.

    And not a 'probably' that's fun to contemplate.

    That is true and I don't propose leaving this creature to trouble further generations. What I was suggesting was to renew the binding first, so that it might be weakened.

Even if he were full grown, he wouldn't be tall enough to use them!

    I'm sure Mrs. Bloodplunder enjoys contemplating them. That way she gets to kill it again.

    "Urinals," Justin answers. "They're for if you only have to pee, so there's less of a line for the bathroom and it wastes less water."

    Back in the bowling room, Lily may not be alone in the room as she cleans the table. Something is watching her. Something angry, and outraged! At the little thing cleaning in the big room, yes, but much more angry at the bigger blue thing that entered the bathroom. The hell does blue-thing think he's doing? It didn't give permission for more to live here. It barely tolerates blue-thing.

    Latalla is punched square in the face. She stumbles back. This music starts playing, seemingly from out of nowhere.

    Them's fighting words!

    She raises her fists, then collapses in a heap on the ground. This music plays and a shower of copper coins rains down around the gathered arsonists. As well as several flasks of weak potions of healing, a rusty dagger, fifteen bat wings, and one "rotting bear carcass". Any of the current PCs might also level/gain XP, but only if they swing that way.

    Latalla remains out cold for the time being.

    Dalton rolls his eyes, before looting Latalla's unconscious form. Those healing potions look like they might be of use eventually, and everyone can always use another rusty dagger, right?

    Yes, but Mrs. Bloodplunder is certifiably insane.

    Good, then it's settled. All I need for the ritual is the demon's name. And chalk, but chalk he already has in surplus. Any half-way decent ritualist can always be counted on to produce candles, matches, chalk and even blood should the situation demand it. So, I will go first and promise the demon to unbind him should he tell me his name. If that doesn't work, I shall try a less specific ritual. Another thing you can count on ritualists for is a variety of options in dealing with demons.

    And I (and happyturtle) wouldn't have her any other way.

    "And if he, or she, or it, doesn't tell you, I'll hit him, or her, or it with my flail until he, or she, or it, does tell you his, or her, or its, name." Demons don't necessarily fall into the same two genders as humanity.

    Then he shall see a certain scene in front of him.

    Above a small pool of lava is a man chained to the surrounding walls. He's covered in blood, as he's tried to work free of his bindings oh so much. Except for, of course, the trails left from the recent tears as they went down his body.
    His face lifts up as he senses another person in the room and he looks back down.

    Lava pools? In a relatively small cave system? Wouldn't the radiant heat have turned the whole place into an oven by now?

    Unless it's magic lava. It's probably magic lava. Let's hope it's magic lava, otherwise I suspect the Wizard is screwed.

    Anywhoo.

    That may be. But we are not hallucinations. The Wizard is at once glad for and cursing the heavy cloak he wears. On the one hand, it's useful for concealing the ritual tablet in the crook of his arm. On the other, it's damnably warm. We are here to free you, oh mighty one.

    He stares at them with a piercing gaze.
    "MIGHTY!?" he roared, a wave of heat coming blasting out.

    Oh, good. 'And then they all fried like bacon in a pan' wouldn't have made for a very interesting ending.

    The Wizard falls back a step, shielding his face against the rush of blistering heat. But no sooner does the roaring end then he advances towards the demon again, coming as close to edge of the lava as he dares.

    Even the mighty might fall, oh... dark one? In truth, it was rather hard to see the being before him as anything more than pitiful. But demons are at their most dangerous when they feign innocence. And soon... Soon you will be free, to rid yourself of the imposter!
