Really? The Abyss and Desicus!

DM Speaks:

After more exploration of Dwakkah the group has decided to head back to the Abyss and challenge Desicus and Beluri!

WOW!

Completely unexpected, but I'm certainly looking forward to it as I'm so excited for this epic battle. It is so cool that Taladel has rejoined the group for this mission and now Mike will be playing 2 PC's! Awesome, unexpected and one of a kind! Curious to see how it plays out!

In the end I feel this will be either a TPK or Desicus and Buluri will die.

I do NOT think this will be a battle where either side flees! This will be for "all the marbles" and as DM I am excited for it to happen! Let's get it on and see if the Sea Dogs continue or their end is by the upcoming Demon Lord Desicus!

DM Speaks Again:

When this battle happens, I have some thoughts

1) I'm glad Ollie has gained a good deal of levels and will certainly be a relevant part of the battle.

2) I'm glad the group is taking on this challenge and not allowing Desicus and Beluri to laugh and disgrace the Sea Dogs.

3) I'm overwhelmingly excited for this battle no matter how it plays out.

4) If the group wins it will be an epic victory which should be celebrated as players and characters.

5) If the group should lose then at least accept you lost to a worthy opponent that no other could stop or destroy.

6) A new campaign saddens me as I really like what we're doing, I like the current group level and opportunities moving forward. I would miss the Sea Dogs, Captain Bluebeard, Queenie Red and the Deacon Ocean tremendously. Too much fun ahead to end it now.

7) A new campaign excites me but not as much as if we lost this one as I'm too vested and interested in what we have now. However, in time I'm sure we will all grow to love where we go next - the Underdark!

8) I predict the Sea Dogs will lose and be gone. No one escapes and the campaign will sadly end. I feel you underestimate Desicus and his planning. He's recognized his shortcomings in the last battle and has eliminated them. I feel there is a chance for a rather quick and unsatisfying battle for the Sea Dogs.

9) The Sea Dogs think they're smarter than Desicus and that will be your downfall. He is much smarter than you and more prepared than you could ever imagine.

Sean Speaks as a Player: I agree 100% If the group wins, it will be an epic victory which should be celebrated. The journey of the SeaDogs and their epic confrontation with Desicus has been nothing short of a thrilling saga. I am very invested in our current campaign, I love my character. The passion for the campaign is palpable; every player brings their character to life, weaving unique stories that captivate and enthrall me at the table. I feel that there are still many stories to be told. The unfolding tales of the SeaDogs and the Wicked Wench are a testament to the rich setting and the investment each player has in their character. There's a deep-seated desire to see these tales reach their pinnacle, to accomplish the goals each player set for these beloved characters. I feel that Desicus is the one who is overconfident. Desicus, with his overconfidence and belief in his superiority, underestimates the unity and resolve of the SeaDogs. His past victories have only fueled his arrogance, yet he has never faced the SeaDogs at their united best. In the previous battles, he may have seen the SeaDogs retreat, especially within the last battle, where there was one strike; one of the SeaDogs was killed, and the rest retreated. However, this time, they are poised to give their all, driven by a newfound determination.

Should the SeaDogs fail, the loss will be hard, but it will be taken and understood that they were up against a formidable foe. The Underdark campaign will be next and promises a fresh new narrative, which opens a whole new adventure. However, we will have some amazing stories about our pirate adventure on the Deacon Ocean, cherishing the memories of the amazing storyline and all that the SeaDogs accomplished.
