5/5
This was it. After months of travel underground, through different cities with different problems they had to solve, against different monesters that have been trying to kill them, it's all come to this fight. The Demon Lord's plans on the surface have come to fruition and have given him enough power to assert his dominion over the Underdark--and beyond that--the whole of the surface world. Only this moment in time, with these people standing against him, can there be any chance to stop him.6. The Big Bad Evil Individual tries to lure you to their side.
But the Demon Lord is cunning. He has been telepathically digging his claws into the mind of the Bard this entire time. He transforms into the Bard's greatest desire, "Come with me. You don't need to fight your friends. You just have to stand by my side and you will have everything you desire."
The members of the party all look to the Bard. They realize that she has been acting more and more strangely as they travelled here. She returns their looks with an indecipherable smile. To their terror, she walks up to the Demon Lord, who welcomes her with open arms. And when she finally leans into the embrace, he howls in pain. As he staggers backward, the party see the blessed dagger, gifted to them by the goddess, embedded in the Demon Lord's torso.
ROLL FINAL INITIATIVE!
