And almost 5 years later our tale comes to a close.
Thank you everyone for your dedication and patience. Thank you for your creativity, teamwork, and support.
This adventure got me through some dark times in my life and has seen me into some grand adventures in real life. Unfortunately, it meant that it did not get as much of my attention as I would have liked in this last year, but I still enjoyed this up until the end.
I learned so much in this adventure and hopefully I will put it to use in the future. Thank you to everyone for bringing your characters and the NPC's to life. There are very few battles I remember, but there are so many moments of humor and drama that still bring a smile to my face during random moments of any given day. You truly created a group of heroes that broke the mold, but still somehow meshed together.
Thank you to Glimmil for his consistent play and ability to remain in character even if not to his advantage. Thank you to Atol for his posts here (and especially in his own campaign) that always made me feel like an amateur. Thanks to Toffitt for pushing the boundaries and the limits of the game, but doing so with a willingness to not derail the game. Thanks to Finneas for making his dead parents so alive. And finally, thanks--I think--to Dyrant for shoving this book in my hands.

Kord is no where to be seen, but Finneas feels confident that he is safe.
An examination of the prisoners finds most are not worth saving. They all reek of evil to those with the ability to detect such things.
The party safely returns to Cauldron. There's been no magical restoration of the place. The gaping wound still stands. Charred buildings still lie in rubble. Fliers still flap in the breeze begging for attention for the missing loved ones pictured on them.
However, the air no longer feels as if it is charged with anxiety. The people walk without hunched shoulders and wary looks from side to side.
Skie appears shortly after the party's arrival and enfolds Glimmil in a hug that seems to last forever. She looks up at him and smiles and sighs contentedly.
Jenya and Alexander also round a corner and find the party. Alexander bears half-burnt scones and offers them meekly. "They're no heroes' feast, but they are meant for heroes."
A few brothers from the temple of Kord also make their way to the gathering assembly. They stand tall and walk with strength, but without too much pride. When asked, they report on the work they have done to restore the city, make Finneas proud, and regain their pride.
No one rushes to embrace Dyrant, but Aroon does arrive not too long after the others with a steaming pot of stew. "There's two days worth of grizzle in there."
Toffitt also stands alone in the crowd for a while until first one young woman bravely moves foward and embraces him. After her, an older woman follows, and then a middle aged man. Soon there is a flood of the unknown and unwashed of cauldron surrounding Toffitt, smiling and thanking their various gods for his return.
Toffitt's whirl of strikes results in a single cut, but it does soften up the already battered Adimarchus.
Covered in more blood than would be feasible without Atol's consistent efforts to heal him, Finneas stares down the one who would threaten his parents, his god, and even his very sanity. His first swing goes wide, but his second just barely connects. The angelic Adimarchus screams, shimmers, and dissipates into nothingness on this plane.
The room becomes eerily quiet as people look around for any other attackers, but find none. In the distance, maniacal prisoners can be heard rattling against their chains and cages.

Adimarchus Demonic form (banished to home plane)
Adimarchus Angelic form (smite, -2 AC)

Finneas scores a crit and so Glimmil manages a mighty blow thanks to Dyrant weakening Adimarchus' defenses. Toffitt is unable to take advantage of the situation though.
Adimarchus wipes away Atol's healing and then some, but Finneas remains standing (I think).

Glimmil withdraws for the moment, perhaps seeking assistance from the god in the room, but finds the cage empty and Kord no where to be seen.
Dryant softens up Adimarchus, leaving the killing blow to Toffitt who cuts deeply into him. Admiarchus's demonic form dissipates, leaving him once again in his angelic form.
Finneas misses. (including lower AC and flank for angelic form)
Even with the devil out of him, Adimarchus still glares at Finneas. He steps 5' closer and pounds away with his gauntlet and wings.

I was going to go for Dyrant, but we also seem to be missing Finneas this round. Toffitt did hit and crit if that matters, but Adimarchus still has about 1/3 of his hit points left.
Not waiting for Dyrant. Just swamped.

Party is up.
Dyrant blasts the golem and Toffitt only hits twice but does finish it off.
With one less combatant standing Finneas takes the opportunity to drink a potion.
Perhaps a bit woozy from his pummeling, Glimmil fails to hit Adimarchus.
Atol ducks under the crumbling golem and heals Glimmil.

Adimarchus switches yet again to his demonic form and happily attacks Glimmil, who is right next to him, with his sword and tentacles. He does give Finneas a frown of disappointment though, which is not quite as effective as Dyrant's stares.

Sorry guys. In Cancun and had delusions of updating. Back Saturday.
Dyrant delays. Wow. I thought I was the slacker.
Toffitt switches back to his sword.
Freshly pummeled, Finneas puts the golem between him and the dual-natured god.
Even with the smite on both halves of Adimarchus' nature, Glimmil manages only a single blow (and that one not a crit).
Atol casts dispel magic and manages to take away the glow from Adimarchus's angelic breastplate (knocking 2 off his AC).

Party is up
With the demonic Adimarchus ignoring Finneas, Dyrant takes the opportunity to take him away from death's door again.
Toffitt shoots, but the golem sees it coming and avoids the worst of the damage. The combination of holy and adamantine does seem to be fully effective though.
Freshly healed, Finneas bravely moves up next to Adimarchus. He lacks the adamantine, but still manages to do more damage with his one blow. The other three fail to penetrate the thick demon flesh though.
A brilliant light show is put on by Glimmil, but not a single blow lands during his spectacle.
Atol provides more healing and plays with his hand.

Toffitt finds the correct mix of magic and materials and puts two of his four arrows cleanly into him. However, without the benefit of the fog, he gains no advantage over Adimarchus and his true seeing.
Adimarchus Angelic form (no smite) (Damage=177-20=157+15+11=183)
Toffitt still to act.
Finneas heals himself while hoping Kord will do more than answer prayers sooner than later.
Dyrant fails to dispel any magics on the marilith demon, but Glimmil swoops down like a gleaming angel of vengeance and plunges his lance through the marilith demon. It drops dead at Cog's feet.
Atol provides more healing.

1d2 ⇒ 1
Perhaps due to the amount of damage, or perhaps because he's just crazy, Adimarchus returns to his angelic form. He stares intently at Finneas before charging past Glimmil (provoking) and trying to punch his gauntlet through his skull.
First swing is the implosive strike attempt - DC 28 FORT save
gauntlet: 1d20 + 39 ⇒ (13) + 39 = 52
damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Toffitt manages to get one more use of out of the fog before Dyrant dispels it. He places the first two almost dead center on Adimarchus. He loses his concentration for half a second and sends one wide, but then places the fourth right next to the first two. He finds the right mix of materials and weaponry and does full damage this round. However, the demon does not drop.
Finneas brings forth the blessings of Kord. "I hear you! It's coming!"
Having finished off one opponent, Glimmil dives into the fog and finds Adimarchus. He lands a great hit with his smite, but the demon continues to stay up.
20% concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 45
Atol heals the party some more while Dyrant dispels the fog.

I'm off to the wine country with the wife. Back Sunday.
I believe Toffitt still has actions or was the potion an action and not an immediate response?

Adimarchus continues to stay in his demonic form. He heals some and grumbles as Toffitt returns so quickly from his banishment. He choses to attack with his greatsword and the tentacles sprouting from his back. Toffitt learns the hard way what it is like to go toe-to-toe with a god.

Malrith still to go.
Dyrant gets ready to spoil another spell.
Toffitt almost enjoys escaping the maze except that it means a round without inflicting pain on others.
Finneas heals himself.
Glimmil makes a rather bland straightforward charge, but his damage is anything but nondescript. He plunges his lance through the skull and it only stops when it hits the wall behind Dark Myrakul. He drops his scythe and the fire leaves his eyes as his lich soul escapes. Dyrant will not have to worry about spoiling another spell.
Atol uses his magical hand to cover himself while healing the party.

A god's energy intermingles with the fog while Kord remains out of sight in the cage.

Finneas pummels the golem as best he can with his non-adamantine sword.
Glimmil moves to the edge of the fog and prepares for more attacks.
Atol remains standing and moves a bit deeper into the fog.

Dyrant fully heals Finneas and provides Toffitt the cover he needs.
Toffitt uses the cover of the fog and attacks Dark Myrakul. He hits twice, but his sharp blade doesn't hit true against the skeletal figure.
Finneas gives up Kord's power and floats in midair. He spends the round contemplating the loss of his godhood.

Glimmil charges at the angelic form of Adimarchus in the fog and hits, but finds his smite on the demonic form has not carried over to this form.
Atol decides to discontinue his toe-to-toe fight with the golem and instead heals everyone.
Not entirely happy with the fog cloud, Dark Myrakul changes tactics. He moves out of the fog and finds Dyrant there. He casts destruction on the non-godlike follower.

In case I wasn't obvious enough, no holds barred in our final encounter.
Glimmil charges the angelic form of Adimarchus and lands another fantastic hit. However, he notices that none of the damage from his first hit on the demonic form carried over to the angelic form.
Start fresh. There were lots of stairs to climb and time to prep.
Finneas withstands the gauntlet shoved into his belly, but collapses as energy flows out of every pore of his body. He floats almost motionless in the air, grasping onto his sword and his consciousness.
No actions this round for Finneas. Everyone else can act now.
Toffitt can't tell who can't see him so moves closer to Dark Myrakul and slashes away. He hits twice, but doesn't confirm the potential crits.
Dark Myrakul happily engages Toffitt in a duel and swings away with scythe.

Please hold off on any actions until I get Finneas's FORT save. I have plans...:-)

Finneas flies down at the golem, provoking as he does. He takes a hit, but delivers one as well thanks to his evil outsider bane. However, his holy cold iron sword does not penetrate all of its defenses.
claw: 1d20 + 29 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 29 + 2 - 5 = 42

Saved by Dyrant's good fortune, Glimmil lands a spectacular hit and ignores the annoying damage reduction with his smite.

Toffitt still to go.
Did you smite Adimarcus, in the cage, or the skeletal figure?
Dyrant drops a bit and bestows good fortune on Finneas and Glimmil.
Toffitt becomes invisible and leaves Atol alone on the ground.
Finneas grabs Kord who does not resist. As if hit with cold water, the god's eyes sparkle with recognition as his head swivels from side to side taking in his surroundings. "Finally made it, I see." Kord breaks the chains and shackles that bound him.
Glimmil's lance deflects off the skeleton as he is not quite able to find a solid spot to hit. Just a low roll.
Atol hopes to go unnoticed and begins a full round cast.
The skeletal figure nods and the invisible chains that appeared to have held the golem in place are removed. It charges toward Atol and claws at him with his right arm.
claw: 1d20 + 29 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 29 + 2 - 5 = 44
damage: 2d6 + 12 + 15 ⇒ (4, 1) + 12 + 15 = 32
Dark Myrakul (aka skeletal figure) recovers from the shocking turn of events and 5' floats away from Toffitt, hoping that he made a straight line toward him. He casts true seeing and confirms his suspicions. He also looks again at the cage, as if hoping to see something he hadn't seen before.
1d2 ⇒ 2
Admimarchus assumes his demonic form and looks to Finneas. "Thank you for freeing me. Kill Kord and claim his power for yourself for all time." He uses a quickened spell like ability for true seeing and then teleports from the cage next to Toffitt while holding his greatsword of ash and cinders.

Think I got positions right.
"Do you have a key that you approach the cage? If not, I will happily watch you waste your energy bashing away at it."
Yes. Buffing has been allowed. He buffed while you climbed the stairs. Besides, I've been enjoying the bit of role-play before the finale.
"Trick you? Evil? I am who I am. I did not ambush you as you trampled through my tower. I did not pick you off like one at a time like ants marching to a picnic. If you truly hate evil so much, why not cudgel that half-orc standing next to you?"
Again, it's hard to tell since he has not lips, but the tone definitely reveals the sarcasm and righteous smirk in his comments.
