[QUOTE="Traveon Wyvernspur, post: 5949576, member: 73201"] Now is the time to remedy that. Tell them before you guys start that this is serious business and that you aren't going to hold your punches. You hinted at the demon being released, they know it's powerful, and they know that they needed to do something to prevent it. Now it is loose, they failed to act in time to prevent it from being released. It's time to clean up their mess and fix the situation somehow. I see this happening in three different ways if I was running it: 1) This could be a covert rescue mission to free enslaved townspeople where they do little to no fighting. 2) They attempt to take down the Demon with wiles, luck, and power (most likely not succeeding in the process). 3) A big fight with help, with PCs running off to a much more powerful NPC to aid their cause. The battle could be the PCs vs the Cultists and then do a cinematic fight (think Gandolf vs the Balrog) going on in the background. If the PCs lose vs the Cultists the NPC loses vs the Demon. It would be a linked combat. [/QUOTE]
