The Session:

When we left off, we had cleared out some tombs, encountered Khemed/Arvik's "allies", and found a magical portal to Thay.  We used the portal to send a letter to the Lich King of Thay, asking to meet him in Waterdeep (it wasn't my idea).  Meanwhile, Azul noticed some fire elementals approaching from a room to the West.  Roll initiative.

Shortly after the battle began, a Red Wizard showed up and joined the fight.  The fire elementals set Nikolice on fire, and he climbed to the top of a statue.  Khemed went down in flames.  Azul hit all three enemies with his lightning breath.  An Ice Devil showed up, answering our letter.  It asked to see Avrik, and Nikolice pointed towards his unconscious form.

Nikolice leapt off his statue, flipping over a fire elemental and and attacked the Red Wizard.  Shortly thereafter, the real Avrik Zaltos showed up with a couple of minions.  It turns out the Ice Devil and the fire elementals were not friends, and they fought each other.  

The Ice Devil killed one of the elementals, and the real Avrik cast Banishment on the other.  Azul attacked the Red Wizard, but just took out his mirror images.  Nikolice then used an action surge to hit the Wizard four times, who then fled.  On Vanya's turn, she pointed the Ice Devil to its true enemy, the real Avrik Zaltos.  The Devil took out one of Avrik's guards, but Avrik managed to banish the Devil.  Azul and Nikolice pursued the lesser Red Wizard, and finished him off.  

One of real Avrik's guards, a Wight, attacked the party as we were regrouping.  Azul charged the creature and killed it.  At this point we knew we were being pursued by forces beyond our ken, so we started a hasty retreat.  We had found some iron coins, and used them to open some safes.  Azul found a jade frog statue and grabbed it; in other safes we found several unidentified potions, some gauntlets, and a battered copper chest.  

On level 2 we accidentally caught the attention of three earth elementals.  Nikolice tried throwing random flasks at the enemies.  Instead of fighting them, we fled towards a secret door we'd discovered a few sessions ago.  We went outside, meeting a couple of NPC Dwarf friends of ours.

We took a long rest, and identified our loot.  The flasks turned out to be Potions of Climbing, Growth, Fire Breath, and two Healing Potions.  The gauntlets turned out to be Gauntlets of Ogre Power, which Nikolice equipped.  The battered copper chest contained a smaller silver chest, which contained a smaller electrum chest encrusted with gems.  Inside the electrum chest was a velvet Bag of Holding containing 200 platinum pieces and an empty flask.  The Jade Frog was a Figurine of Wondrous Power.

Thus endeth the session.
