What the Party Knows
- Crowley identified General Zon from his hellhounds — the five pack dogs that descended Level 1 dragging the vampire spawn corpses. He recognizes them as belonging to a specific Zarielian general he has crossed paths with before (details of that prior history are Crowley's alone).
- Zon appeared via summoning circle on Level 2 of the Tomb — not physically present but projected through a binding array controlled by Ser Seraphona Shadowbane. He could not leave the circle.
- He is one of the most powerful figures in Avernus — outranked only by Zariel herself, Tiamat, and perhaps two or three others in the layer's hierarchy.
- He confirmed the terms of the contract amendment offered to Crowley: deliver Ser Vindictus to Zariel's service, and Leigha goes free.
- He granted the party one hellhound companion and the Blessings of the Covenant (long rest + Aid spell) as mission support.
- He addressed Ser Seraphona Shadowbane by first name, suggesting he has worked with her closely.
