Age of Ashes has been completed by my party! I know we have an Obituary post, but thought I'd do the opposite and create a post highlighting the heroes who succeeded in the Age of Ashes adventure! Below are my party, their class feats so you can get an idea of their style, and their epilogue of "What I'll do next". I'll put these behind spoiler tags for A) Size, and B) spoiler reasons.

Just finished this campaign, after 73 sessions (+/- a couple since I didn't count in the start). First time since Age of Worms we've managed to finish a campaign. A rather anticlimatic endboss, but it was still epic as the group was well prepared and managed to roll 5 natural 20s in the first two rounds.
Had some attrition on the way. Lost 3 characters to death on the way, and 2 players dropped out before the end.
But the characters that fought to the end were:
Karsk, a half-orc Barbarian
Doc, a goblin alchemist
Du Der, an elven ranger
Bac, a gnome fighter
Haven't worked out their future yet, as that will be decided next week as we decide what to play next. But in the end a great time was had by all.

I keep forgetting to post it but here it goes.
The Campaign i was the GM was played between 26/10/2019 and 23/01/2021.
It lasted 62 sessions, we played live the first 19 sessions, and then we changed to Roll 20 because Covid happened, we had few live sessions after that.
1 Death happened in the campaign and a few close calls, specially one in the quarry where a TPK almost happened.
The 4 pcs:
Nelka ended as a 20th level Human Cleric of Sarenrae,
Morgrym ended as a 20th level Dwarven Fighter
Omgot No-Ta-Gain ended as a 20th level Goblin Rogue (Racket Thief)
Seoni (my wife loves this iconic so she was Seoni, and yes, she picked the arcane tatoos..) ended as a 20th level Human Sorcerer

Started in June 2020 and ended in January 2022, played entirely on Foundry.
No deaths but a lot of close calls, the balor scored 3 crit fails on it's death explosion but I rolled abysmally on damage and 3 characters ended in the ~15 HP range (I was more than 30 damage below the average for that roll).
Faccio - Human Mastermind Rogue, dealt out absurd damage on every crit.
Father Meatbiter - Lizardfolk Cleric, multiclass champion. Tanked for the group and kept the bandages flowing.
Toland - Gnome Wizard, loaded with other spellcasting traditions through archetypes
Brokton - Catfolk Aberrant Sorcerer, learned blood feast and used it + tentacular limbs to kill an absurd number of things.
Killing blow was by Toland, who critically hit with a hail mary Deity's Strike, dealing nearly 150 damage. Just barely enough to put the manifestation down.
