Heydricus finally delivers the killing blow, and as he does, it seems as if a sigh escapes the whole place. The balor curses, and in a flash, it and its minions disappear, returning to the Abyss. Looking about, the surviving members of the party sink to the ground, exhausted and relieved. Their task is finally and fully complete, but only through the sacrifice of many companions.
