Mordenkeinan Reveal
As the players defeat Abbadon -
Massive surge in power as the soul is transplanted into the book. They all begin to float, blackout, lightning from the heavens empties into each of you.
Collapse to the floor after, surging with power. You feel everything for kilometers around you. You feel like your thoughts can change reality. Not at reality's whim anymore, it is at yours. You feel like you can sculpt reality like clay.
Bertram, you could create an illusion of island, cities, no one would realise.
Taiyo, entire biblical plagues could be cured, or created.
Patches, your deceit has become boundless, you could even trick a dragon into parting with their horde.
Jean, your manipulation of time could undo these very events.
Nirmadin
Nirmadin will begin to mutter to the closest person.
- "Oh, how I have waited for this"
- "You have been so brave, power has grown so much..."
- "BERTRAM... our secret is now cleared"
He stands up, casts off his old dusty robe. He is tall, bald, sharp black goatee. My name is Mordenkeinan, and This is now my final test.
- Meteor fall (instantly a massive meteor begins to plummet to the earth.
- Life harvest (all take d12 damage and heals him)
- Summons an illusion, encasing the entire area in a circle of blue flame. Hurt if you go outside it.

- "Renaxis is lying. Do you actually believe him? He Is just using you" "You will become gods fighting a battle that is already lost"
"You are strong enough to join me... Let us talk." - He casts a timestop spell in the new turn.
"Renaxis is desperate, because he doesn't have a chance fighting it alone. He is just using you in a move to claim the highest divinity in the wake of your calamity.
"I'm offering another way. There is no honour lost in accepting a losing battle. I'm not asking you to serve me. Stay as demigods. Stay in the dark. The horror will gorge itself on the old gods. And when it's bloated and slow, perhaps then we strike. Perhaps we find another way. But we at least we live"
"You have my word, if I have yours"
Moments later, Renaxis arrives. He sees their wounds. He understands immediately.
"Mordenkeinan... Now how could it be that you are still here."
"Do not let him poison your minds. His mind is a pit of madness".
"Whatever he has told you - the horror is restless, sleepless. There is no waiting it out. There's only now, while we still have the strength to fight."
His true plan is to use you in the fight, along with him, and let the old gods die. He is unlikely to turn on the players.
They circle you, like a mexican standoff.
"Choose wisely, you know what must be done"
