[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 2372031, member: 4134"] No. But they should have more than mere archfiends, and more than that lich they presented at the beginning of the chapter. The stats should at least begin to reflect the facts: That gods are afraid of the buggers. I'm not saying that you should be able to run the fight Mask vs. Kezef with the stats presented and use this instead of planning a story, it should be something resembling credible: No god would run away from a creature that needs a natural 20 to even hit him. Look at another "Celebrity Deathmatch" in the Realms: Orcus (from BoVD) against Kiaransalee (from the CotSQ web enhancement). You can see that these are more or less evenly matched, and that one could not just walk right over the other. But considering the threat they represent to the whole Creation (Kezef eats the souls of the Faithful, which means they go into oblivion, beyond the help of the gods, the Elf-Eater is out to eradicate all elven-kind, and Dendar is destined to destroy the world), while being as weak as CoR made them, it does make absolutely no sense that they still exist. FR has had (and still has) its share of really powerful individuals that have every interest of not letting the world end. We're not talking about some evil-doer where you can rationalize why Elminster/Whoever hasn't got around to killing him/her/it yet. This isn't something they could say "It's not really my problem, if you think of it", since it threatens not only their existence, but the existance of their deities, and everything else they hold dear as well.
