[QUOTE="touc, post: 7539299, member: 19270"] We ran Out of the Abyss, and my players have come to expect epic things with epic adventures. So, I opted to let players run the demon lords in a battle royale. They did such a great job beating the crap out of one another that when it came time to face the winner (Yeenoghu!), it was the least climactic and lamest battle of the campaign. He was taken down by a [I]Wand of Magic Missiles.[/I] A lame wand. But it's like the A-Team used to say: "I love it when a plan comes together." Their hope was the demon lords would weaken one another, and yeah, Colonel Hannibal, the plan came together perfectly. There was a pause moment afterwards...was that it? Was it that easy? Where's the DM twist? Aren't you going to have him come back and we'll have an epic battle and probably some of us won't make it? Nope, the epic part was having Orcus face off against Demogorgon and so on, and to let players know hey, sometimes things actually work out exactly like you hoped. Gratz players. [/QUOTE]
