Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rechan" data-source="post: 4959871" data-attributes="member: 54846">Depending on the tone of your game...As soon as the Priestess leaves the city, she pings on the radar of both ORcus and Demogorgon. They have the same goal (kind of), but they come at it in three different directions. DemogorgonThere is something about the nature of this woman that makes her a conduit for Demogorgon. Perhaps her power at demonbinding has influenced her very blood. Demogorgon thus wants something very specific from her: her next born. The problem is, the heads disagree on the way to accomplish this, and have two different plans of action. Demogorgon's Aspect arrives on the spot, with entourage in tow. Head #1 immediately... attempts to sire a child with the drow, on the spot. Again, depending on the tone of the game, she may be very OK with this (or that head may use its powers of madness to make her go along with it). Head #2 immediately begins laying some bindings down on the Drow. It plans on pulling her straight to the abyss to make her his bride. Why is this important? The drow, if she sires Demogorgon's child, will give Demogorgon, not his Aspect, the ability to walk Earth. He can fill the child as a vessel with his Aspect, leave it in Demogorgon's abode, and now the Demon Prince is able to leave and walk the earth.Complication: If Head #1's offense is successful, then something even more problematic becomes obvious to the players: the ritual will enduce pregnancy in the priestess. Did I mention that Demogorgon's child would reach term very fast, considering the power of the Demon? Yeah, so if they want to do their ritual, they give Demogorgon's Baby a cristening. If Head #2 is successful, they've got to spelunk into Demogorgon's realm in order to get her back again. OrcusThe Demon Prince of Undeath's motivation is very simple: He wants to kill the priestess. More accurately, he wants to slay her, convert her into an undead fiend, and enslave her. She insulted Orcus many many moons ago, and he does not take a slight lightly. Bonus, he gets to enslave Grazz'ts lady love, so it's equally a thumb of his nose.Of course, Orcus shows up with entourage. And if necessary, have Grazz't show up with Entourage to protect his lady love.  So you have a 3 way battle between three Demon Prince's aspects and their crew, converging on top of the PCs, one of which being a two-headed tentacled baboon trying to copulate with the PC's captive. If that doesn't feel Epic, I don't know what does.</blockquote>
