Finishing Off the 11th Chapter

 Well the group has surprised me by managing to capture the aspect of a demon lord but not before the group took some serious damage and in fact the group had to use one of the wishes remaining in the ring in order to save the party healer from being consumed by raw chaos. It was a close thing but they managed to get in and out of the supply depot before the guardians even realized that they were there. Now that they have another piece of the puzzle they are headed to try and meet with one of Demogorgon's generals to try and turn him to their side. They have arrived just outside the base of operations of one of Demogorgon's favored legions. This means that the group will have to deal with thousands of demons if things go wrong. The next session should finally get the group to the last chapter, the actual invasion of the Gaping Maw, Demogorgon's home plane in the Abyss.
  Things are getting interesting as the groups travels along the River Styx have been noticed and other beings are starting to take note including the Prince of Demons himself. I am actually looking forward to finishing off this mega-adventure that has taken seven years to play out. The Savage Tide will finish for the season in two months so I am anxious to see how far along we are at the break.

Follow the River Styx

Well the group has spent the last few months using their new found ability to sail the Styx in order to gain new allies in and out of the Abyss. They have managed to get the agreement of the Prince of Undead himself, Lord Orcus. Then they managed to find the Eladrin from the Court of Stars and gained their favor after killing a legendary dragon but not before losing two members of the group to the dragon's disintegrate spell. One was returned to the living but the party wizard underwent a transformation when he was returned as a drow elf sorcerer but with the wizard's memories so things have gone strange for the group. Then they managed to get the Queen of Seductions to help also as they continued their journey. Now they have a minor artifact to use in capturing an aspect of a demon lord for further use. Things are rapidly coming to a head with one more part to go until we get to the last chapter.
