After clearing out the fort of skeletons and sending John-John the cook and Katy on their way south, the Sons decide to head north to find the ravine where the demon, while inhabiting Petyr, supposedly ditched the mace from Aurac's temple.
Day 129 (2nd cycle of summer, 14th day)
After some days traveling through the mountains and hills, they find the spot and with a little magic help, they locate the mace, laying at the bottom of the ravine. Amazingly, no one had taken it. They turn back and head towards Hellmouth, which they passed a few days earlier, in order to locate the fire key, which was dropped in it, many years ago.
Day 131 (2nd cycle of summer, 16th day)
The Sons of the Phoenix arrive at Hellmouth. They climb it, and while peering through the gasses with an Arcane Eye, they notice a hidden ledge leading down the inside of the shaft, to a hidden doorway.
They descend into the volcano, and scout magically ahead. It seems that although the doorway is built for large creatures, the inside has hints of dwarven craftsmanship. And lo and behold, the first chamber is guarded by 4 duergar dwarves.
The Sons hit them hard and fast and manage to take them out, before they can activate their alarm system.
