The demon lord has kidnapped 7 of the most powerful druids, and is twining their souls into a spell that would keep the portal open for eternity.  The pc's must find a way to disrupt the spell before taking on the demon lord, and do it before the demon finishes the spell, else all is lost...</blockquote>
