I kind of achieved a TPK in the boss fight immediately before Serecc.  It was a pair of Elf Sorceresses, one Sorc/Rog/Asn, and the other Sorc/Ftr/Eld, and the fight lasted over 3 hours.  That was amusing, but not strictly relevant.  In the end, Serecc spread a final darkness over the land, and all life was extinguished.  He escaped this fate by means of Asmodeus, Lord of the Ninth Circle of Hell, who promoted Serecc to Lord of the Third, and removed him from the Material Plane just as the wave of death started to spread.The players were kind of mad...</blockquote>
