Unlike Faerun, which mostly had humans, Helvid's population consisted of almost all demons. Surprisingly, they paid us no mind. Many of the demons looked to be in poor shape, with tattered clothes and dirt caking their faces.
The pedestrians simply gave us looks of disdain as we passed by, but they weren't hostile.
Since the city was so close to the Firefields, mages had to keep a perpetual Weather Barrier that created a dome over all the structures, preventing the residents from getting cooked.
As a precaution, before going on the Hollenzug, I went to the magic shop and bought a teleportation rune for Marigold and me. That left me with 263,056 Sz. I didn't want to spend all my money on a rune for all of us, so I only got two. Once again, I'm using the excuse that I'm saving up for some high-level gear.
