[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3488812, member: 4134"] Not quite one at a time: Their retinue will attack, too. Other than that, it makes sense: They are demon lords, and while they have agreed that they will not fight each other, fighting some puny mortals wasn't part of the agreement, and the agreement allows for you watching one of your hated enemies being torn to shreds. It's a plane-hopping adventure, after all. If you don't like that sort of thing, the book clearly isn't for you, but it's not as if they snuck that fact in under the radar or anything. Nah. Aspects have been around since before 3.5, they're meant to be mere shadows of a divine or godlike entity (gods, archfiends, celestial paragons....), and of course a shadow of something so powerful isn't exactly weak, but still manageable by a mid-level party. On the whole, it's a lot better than adventures where you end up killing deities themselves. You just kill some sort of ambassador, a watered-down avatar. I don't understand that many seem to complain about the jumping. It isn't as if that wasn't there before: Many adventures list the stats for NPCs and the like in the end of the book. In fact, I think the current format makes it easier: When combat starts, you just insert a bookmark on the old page (or just look browse back at the end, the encounter has the page number you need after), browse ahead to the encounter, and for the rest of the encounter, you need no further browsing back and forth. In fact, most of the time, all the stats are there, so you don't need to open 1-3 monster books to cross-reference! That was a meat-grinder. This module has a lot more diplomacy than City. Yeah. I only mentioned it here because it was the only thing I remembered not liking at all, and I said so. I didn't say: "Yeah, overall, it may be nice, but the cambion was messed up, so I burned the book and am now sitting on the rooftop across from the Wizards building with a sniper rifle!!!" (I'm sitting inside the building, there's water dispenser here and it's clima controlled.) ;) [/QUOTE]
