The ruined city lies at the base of the volcano - a wall circles the volcano, dozens of miles long, warded by magic and patrolled by an order of holy knights. Unlike most city walls, this one faces in - the paladins guard against the resurgence of the evil volcano god, imprisoned in the ruins of his empire's capitol by Dawn God centuries ago, after the high priestess of the evil faith turned upon the Volcano God. Within the ruined city, skeletons and other, fouler undead shamble mindlessly beneath the light of the crescent moon. Somewhere in the center of the city, near the old temple, the sound of battle rages.In the inner sanctum of the temple, a barbarian, cleric and wizard covered in wounds stand panting over the corpse of young dragon, while the ranger hurriedly clambers up the 30 foot tall statue of the Volcano God, a jeweled cup full of blood balanced in one hand. The barred doors to the inner sanctum smash open - the centuries dead high priestess, now a powerful lich, stands amid a battleground, dead demons and undead everywhere, her pet Marilith at her side. She points at the adventurers and screams "Stop!"Ignoring her, the ranger lifts the chalice to the statue's lips and pours - the blood of a goddess runs down the statues throat, and stone cracks and falls away. The Volcano God, freed from his imprisonment by his last loyal cultists, looks down at his former high priestess and says four words - "I AM MOST DISPLEASED" - outside, the mountain roars to life for the first time in centuries, sending a flood of lava and burning ash pouring down on the heads of the paladins. And that's the story of how our party resurrected our Evil god. For those interested, I was the barbarian. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> </blockquote>
