[QUOTE="Unwise, post: 8341327, member: 98008"] I think it should become clear to them that they simply don't have the power to defeat Asmodeus themselves. The thing is though, they can comparatively easily turn the other lords against him, they could steal his rod of rulership, allow the demons to invade the hells, make his rivals think he is about to move against them, steal the taxes the other lords pay him - making him turn on them. I'd make it so it had to be a series of clever grifts on their part to weaken his power. Once he is no longer the lord of the nine hells, then he loses a lot of his power and he gets a stat block. Alternatively, looking at 4e lore (not sure if it is universal) they could find a way to fix the divine weave so that souls don't get delivered to the hells. They could change Avernus so that outsiders/outcasts (people that can't enter divine realms, forget the term) cannot go there. That would erode his powerbase and his underlings faith in him. [/QUOTE]
