The battle with the Firelord continued, after Izaki confronted the efreeti, trading blows enough to withdraw for healing, and Fin and Matthias engaged the sex-frenzied Salamanders.
The Firelord proved MOST powerful, whipping and swiping and spellcasting with near-irresistible force. Izaki used himself as a meat-shield buffer between the efreeti and the group, able to do so and counterattack as long as he did only through the healing graces of Finduilas. Meanwhile, Matthias silenced the fireball/efreeti healer Salamander and raced to the Phoenix. Using the Brand, he aided the legendary firebird in shattering her cage.
Just then in a teleportation flash, a woman of pale, macabre allure, who immediately rubbed Finduilas the wrong way, appeared beside her, intent on aiding the group in the fight. However, even her spells, which did look impressive, failed against the Keeper of Phoenix Forge. However, there was little he could do against a freed Phoenix, and the lord of all birds doubled in size and stature, consuming all the oxygen in the room and robbing the efreeti of his fuel.
The Phoenix told the group to flee while she ensured this cursed place would join the Firelord in oblivion. In true heroic fashion, Matthias ensured the efreeti could perform no other trick, and dispatched the outsider in a skald's dramatic fashion. He then flew to where breath could be drawn and blew the Horn of Recall, splitting reality and exposing a crack back to Ivristel. The group escaped to the sounds of the forge crashing down behind them.
Jarless Northstar was there to welcome them, along with six ice elven wizards, using all manner of strange talisman and instrument to assess the group and then the portal which closed up. Finduilas found she did not come back alone, revealing to Matthias a special prize.
After a quick debriefing and a strange parting with the halfling planeswalker Arin, the group found some empty chambers and got some much needed rest, while Victoria sought audience with the most elusive leader in the known world.
