The team placed the 12 hearts of the crone queens into the tea pot and found themselves whisked to Vigliv’s tree where they unlocked another layer of Baba Yaga’s prison. They were infused with yet more power from the Queen of Witches and gifted with a thread of fate from the norn allowing them to slightly alter their own fate once.
They set off to a canyon with a portal to the Witch Queen’s Kurgan, her inner sanctum and stronghold. She warned them she had trapped the Infernal Crocodile as a guardian, so the team enhanced their abilities with magic before moving into the area. The half-fiend crocodile rose up into the air and hit the team with horrid wilting! It then activated smite good and charged Deska! The team tried to maneuver closer and found several of the spells of limited effect. They did land some successful spells like searing light and holy smite, but some of their other attack spells like flame strike and slow faltered. The crocodile snatched up Deska into its maw to swallow her, but she wild shaped into a mammoth! The crocodile dropped her but then ravaged her unconscious with savage bite and tail attacks.
The team started landing some really heavy blows bolstered by magic and Tarik’s sonic enhancement. All of the bonuses added up as too much for the monstrosity to withstand, and it was slain before it could swallow down Tarik!
The team then went through the portal and found themselves on a frozen steppe under an oppressive sky. Somewhere off in the distance is the kurgan and their final showdown.
