So the final sessions of my campaign. Originally started as a new player one shot on Stormwreck Isle for 5.0. Ending at level 13 5.5 being upgraded to a campaign. 3 newbie players meshed great with the veterans. One of my old 3.5 players has also turned up. Best group ever 
.
Current Party. Just hit 13 not everyone's leveled up yet.
Light Cleric
Fighter1/Monk 12.
Lightning Dragon Sorcerer
Warlock 13 (maybe War12/Pal 1)
Hunter Ranger 13.
Absent.
Glamour Bard. Player family emergency in SEA back next year hopefully.
Basic campaign idea. BG 3.5 theme. Dead 3 cultists/heretics of the Ebon triad want to combine the dead 3 in 1 god of evil.
PCs have killed avatars of Myrkul, Bane, Bhaal. Plot twist by doing so they weakened them for the Ebon Triad.
The BBEG is a demon lord wanting to absorb the dead 3 and ascend to god hood. Baldurs Gate is the chew toy. We are using the Descent into Avernus BG3 section.
The PCs ignored all offers of help, aid or soul selling contracts from dead 3 loyalists, the devil Mizora (from BG3) and Shars faith. They also missed clues I planted both literally and infernal vs demonic hints in dialog. They think the final villains are the Ebon Triad. They already killed off most of them last few and demon cultists and demons are the planed final encounters. Give them a break from undead and dead 3 cultists.
When the bard player left she took most of the legendary items with her. They're reasonably well equipped. Ranger has this.
Gith Warlock has this more or less
Monk has a DM special. +3 Bhaalist short sword that grants murder aura and a flamng dagger. Just upgraded the blade when Bhaals avatar died. Just acquired. Its OP but eh final leg.
Plan was each PC has a legendary something. Oops. Cleric and Sorcerer lack them.
So any ideas of a final battle? Im thinking prep 10 encounters 4 low, 3 medium, 3 high. Not all of them will be used (probably) Some advice on NPCs aiding them by securing key areas of Baldurs Gate while PCs deal with the demon lord and portal/gate. Final battle will be time sensitive. NPCs can gift them potions that duplicate short and long rests but there wont be enough for everyone. Also dropping some hints/lore drop for next campaign.
That's the basic idea. I have 2 weeks to prep. Any ideas ENworld. Encounters are RAW DMG page.
Low 13000xp
Moderate 21000
High 27000
Demonlords probably Fraz- Urb'luu with CR lowered but being 5.0 might use as is (50k xp high X2).
