Orders are Orders
Orders from command passed on my Parker that there are still many strangling demons left in the lands, they have taken disguised as Dragonborn, Tieflings and other demonic races. Zyllis and the remainder of his team split up into two groups and spend the next few weeks tracking and killing these demons
Zyllis, Grit, Sarren, Red, Jin

Rozie, Parker, Lucky, Eryn, Alister

Rivers of Blood
Zyllis and his part of guiding Spear learn of the atrocities they were blindly following. Gripped by despair and anguish the team breaks down, Zyllis orders them to return to Blinding spears home as he goes to find the other team of the squad lead by Rosie.

“Zyllis Answer me!” Grit shouts looking around at the mess they were in, bodies of simple citizens, could it be true? Grit was doing everything in his power to negate the thought but it all made complete horrible sense.
Zyllis was frozen, eyes wide in horror, Jin’s quite sobs were the only sound between the ramblings and shouting from the other members.
Red was speechless for the first time in a long time standing away from the rest as Sarren vanished almost as soon as he realised
Grit looked at his hands to find them shaking violently, feeling dizzy as he realised he wasn’t breathing, he caught his breath as he fell to his knees.
Jin kept repeating “I’m sorry” quietly.
Whispers in Zy’s head growing louder as a whirlwind of emotions gripped his core, Guilt for dragging his squad into this, anger at the leaders, hatred at himself for following blindly, dread at what he had done all the while the same words whispered in his head.
“Soldiers are expected to kill when ordered, Soldiers are expected to kill when ordered”
The members were a mess as the whispers got louder and louder until Zy dropped his weapon and fell to his knees, clutching his head and curling rightly. Breathing heavily until the whispers turned to screaming and he saw it, The gapping maw of the Old God who sealed his soul.
“ENOUGH!” Erupted from Zy as everything when quiet again. Zy stood up to see his squad broken but paying attention, even Sarren had returned, Sketchbook in his shaking hands

Shattered Spear
Zyllis finds that the other group had figured out what was going on but were far less lucky, chain of command had broken and all the members were missing. Zyllis found Rosie in the heart of a village of the outlawed races and other such races.

A Line Crossed
Rozie had been murdered by the towns folk and the sight of this Zyllis lost control giving into his rage and salaughtering the entire village and burning it to the ground.

I am no longer fit to be your leader
Zyllis not half the leader he once was brought the bodies of Rozie back to the others and buried her along side Kilvar. Zyllis shattered and broken with the rest of the squad figured out where they went wrong and then Zyllis disbanded the squad.

Final Orders
“I am your leader, and as your leader these are my final orders. You will leave, run, never speak of this to anyone ever again. Blinding Spear is no more.”

Journey to Exilis
Zyllis takes Two others with him to track down Parker and put him through a hell so great it will make the Old gods notice.

Disobeying Final Orders
Grit refuses to sit quietly and demands his revenge on Parker be satisfied, however what he finds is beyond his abilities and he looses his life.

Hatred breeds Hatred
Zyllis had succeeded in bringing vengeance down upon Parker but he had been swallowed by his anger and hatred. Wandering endlessly with no ability to recall who he was.
eventually waking up in the hospitality of the duke of Greyhawk.
