What happened

Recovering near the coast, the group met Azrul and discovered a sentient skull infused with red-crystal energy. The skull called itself Sam and balanced being irritating with being useful. He pointed the party toward Mireholm and Krivahn the Verdant Fang, one of the Champions who fought Asmodeus twenty years earlier.

The red crystals were packed into the Bag of Holding and loaded aboard the Storm Wraith. Mid-flight, their energies destabilized and tore open an infernal rift inside the ship. Gremlins poured through, turning the deck into another short, ugly battle before the breach collapsed. The party reached Mireholm at dawn with a destination, a dangerous cargo, and no improved understanding of storage safety.
