Tiamat is attempting to escape from Hell, reforge the mythical sword that created her and Bahamut, and then slay Bahamut himself. The player characters are trying to stop her.This episode was the culmination of a battle that spanned three episodes. The PCs took on four adult dragons and a host of devils led by the archdevil Bel. The previous episode ended with Bel killing the elf arcane trickster rogue. This episode started with the aasimar vengeance paladin casting Revivify to get the rogue back on his feet. However, Bel's pack of steel predators used their sonic roars to stun several members of the party, leaving them incapacitated for a turn. The ice devils trapped the human beastmaster ranger in a dome of ice. Bel teleported into the dome and stunned the ranger. Then he picked up the ranger and teleported him hundreds of miles away to the headquarters of the Cult of Tiamat.Unfortunately, the ranger was the party member holding the Draconomicon, which happens to contain the ritual needed to release Tiamat from Hell. The ritual requires the sacrifice of a Chosen of Bahamut (or a Chosen of Tiamat, if you want to get technical). Guess who's a Chosen of Bahamut? Yup, the ranger himself. In one fell swoop, the party has handed their archvillains everything they need to bring their nefarious plans to fruition.That sound you hear is the DM's evil laughter.Bel teleported back to the battle in hopes of destroying the party. Although battered, the PCs weren't beaten. They turned the tables on Bel, destroying his material form, and exiling him to Hell. (Where they'll inevitably face him again.)Next session: The ranger will be the ritual sacrifice that ushers in the end of the world...</blockquote>
