Archfiend-based adventures

[Mouseferatu]

All righty. I'm trying to compile a list of every published module/adventure that involves an archfiend (demon prince, duke of hell, Oinodaemon, etc.).

By involves, I don't mean "Mentions." I mean the archfiend has to actually make an appearance, or--at the very least--must be tightly wrapped up in the unfolding events.

Nor am I restricting the list to TSR/WotC.

Let's see what we can get. Just off the top of my head, there's

Rappan Athuk (Orcus)
Dead Gods (Orcus)
Bastion of Broken Souls (Demogorgon)
The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth (sort of)

Others? I know there are plenty, I'm just blanking.

(Important Note: While I'm not restricting the list to TSR/WotC material, I am looking for adventures that specifically involve the standard D&D "pantheon" of archfiends. If it's an archfiend created by another company, it doesn't qualify.)

 

[Nightfall]

Modron March (Orcus)
Lost Temple of Demogorgon (obvious side)
Blood Stone Trilogy (Orcus)
For Deity and Duty (Graz'zt)

D00d- you forgot Temple of Elemental Evil, which involves Zuggtmoy (and involves personal appearances by Iuz and Cuthbert both!).

I'd also mention Return to the Tomb of Horrors, as Orcus is tightly involved in the City That Waits segment of the adventure.

Hmm... also, the Bloodstone modules (again, some Orcus for ya).

D3 and Q1 heavily involve Lolth.

Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, Castle Greyhawk involves a couple of archfiends, though most hard-core gamers disavow it completely...

good thread. i'm sure Dungeon has had some modules that involve archfiends...

Planescape had a number. Hard to avoid them honestly since the Blood War was a central element of the setting.

Within Hellbound: The Blood War, the module 'Squaring the Circle' has direct involvement of Daru Ib Shamiq, one of the Baernaloths. While not a traditional archfiend, as one of the creators of the Yugoloths, I'd say he qualifies in a major way.

'Fires of Dis' - Dispater shows up personally

I'll look more tommorow.

'Inner Workings' in 'Planes of Law' has the Dark 8 show up in person.

Does Paizo count? Shackled City adventure path, though published by Paizo, is (c) WotC. And it creates a new demon lord (though he is the victim of a plot by Grazzt, so a classic archfiend is in the backstory, but not the adventure.)

IIRC one of the Ravenloft hextet modules involved an Arcanaloth

IIRC one of the Ravenloft hextet modules involved an Arcanaloth

Inajiira was his name IIRC. However while powerful within the setting, and with a pretty potent hate-on going for Strahd, I wouldn't consider him an archfiend, even if he's pretty damn cool.

Heck there's all the various faceless Ultroloths involved in a couple of the Planescape modules, but except as extensions of the Oinoloth and General of Gehenna, I wouldn't classify them as unique enough to be called Archfiends (even if a great number of them would hold equivalent influence, if not more).


Oh, and there's another Baernaloth who shows up, but isn't involved in the plot, in 'Tales of the Infinite Staircase'.

Paladin In Hell features Geryon and Amon directly in the action, as well as a involving Demogorgon, Asmodeus, and a smattering of other infernal personages peripherally.
