Sadly, Kurgoth does not have superhuman intelligence and wisdom. Badrazel did, but the module specifically noted that he would fight until knocked below 20 hit points.
Serpenteye said:Off course, under a new DM maybe Kurgoth would have come to his senses and used his superhuman intelligence and wisdom to come to the realisation that the party could actually make a useful ally (without the need for making draconian demands on all their souls). Chaotic Evil does not equal stupid, it is the most pragmatic of alignments (at least in the short term). He would have betrayed them as soon as their victory against Irae was inevitable, but the party would expect it and have taken measures to defend themselves or betray him first. In the stalemate between Irae and Kurgoth the party should have been able to tip the scales to their own favour.
