The End

At last, our Heroes face Demogorgon as he tries to stop them from destroying the master pearl. Liluth and Phaeriel scorch him with arcane powers, Leo and Kjutane protect their companions, while Boomadin and Lyandra cut him open with their blades.

Until with a final strike, Lyandra lops Demogorgon's heads from his body. As he lays dead, his power as a Demon Lord is stolen by Liluth, while his soul is taken by Iggwilv. The remaining Heroes destroy the master pearl, and depart the Abyss, ready to enjoy a well deserved rest.

* * *

And so even the mighty Demogorgon has fallen under the power of our Heroes. Many thanks to all the players for these great two years, here's to another many many years of high adventure and fun!

Here are some pictures of our last game:

Chapter 12 - Prince of Demons

The Heroes gather their forces and lay their plans for the invasion of Gaping Maw. After aiding in the taking of a beach in Demogorgon's realm, they must avoid demonic assassins and aid Orcus's legions on their march to Lemoriax, along the way lifting a magical effect that bars entry into Wat Dagon, the ancient temple that holds the master pearl capable of triggerring the mass savage tide. After fighting through Wat Dagon's defenders, the Heroes finally attract Demogorgon's attention. If they wish to stop the savage tide, the Prince of Demons must fall.

Chapter 11 - Enemies of My Enemy

After releasing one of Demogorgon's ex-lovers, Shami-Amourae, from her prison in the Wells of Darkness, the heroes endured a brutal counterattack by the the Prince of Demons' forces that included a catastrophic redirection of the Ruver Styx. Enraged at this affront, Charon himself arrives not long thereafter to investigate and grants the heroes passage on the River Styx if they promise to punish Demogorgon for his audacity.

Using the River Styx, the heroes travel across the Abyss, Hades, and Arborea, recruiting powerful agents in the battle to come against the Prince of Demons. As their allies mount, though, Demogorgon grows concerned, and as the heroes near the completion of their task, he sends a force from his armies to deal with them. Assuming they survive, the heroes are now prepared to launch their assault on Gaping Maw.

Chapter 10 - Wells of Darkness

The heroes travel to the Abyssal town of Broken Reach to consult with Red Shroud and secure a route to the Wells of Darkness, which leads them to the Well of Arlgolcheir, the prison of a fallen demon lord. They soon discover Shami-Amourae's well, where she refuses to help them until they free her. But the only way to free a demon lord from the Wells of Darkness is via the demon lord who created the prison in the first place.

This demon is Ahazu the Seizer, and his well can be found below the fortress of Overlook. After defeating the fortress' guardians, the heroes negotiate with Ahazu the Seizer to secure Shami-Amourae's release. Yet when they return to the Well of Debased Eros, a contingency put in place by the Prince of Demons opens a planar breach in the depths of the River Stix, diverting the legendary river into the well and unleashing a demonic assault on those who seek the forbidden knowledge. By rescuing Shami-Amourae from this assault, they can finally learn the truth about what Demogorgon intends to do with the harvested energy of the savage tide.
