Alzar studies some ways to breaking the demon outpost. The most important detail is to prevent them from bringing in aid, otherwise they could gate in thousands of fiends. Alzar is racking his brain, but he doesn’t know of any ways to prevent gates. The best way to deal with this might be in smaller doses.


That night, he teleports to an outpost with about 35 Fiends in all, casts Wail of the Banshee, and then Axes the remnants, and then teleports to another spot and kills 10 more with Power Word Kill, Skulltraps, and Blastbones. Then he teleports away.

The next day, the camp opens up a gate and brings in some reinforcements. So the slow route won’t work. Alzar needs a new plan. He teleports around to get some ideas.

Even if he goes in hot with 30 elementals, they can gate in defenders en masses. He has to shut that down. But no spell, magic item, or effect has that power he knows of. He could make the spell. That’s certainly an option. But what about a Wish? Would a Wish cancel all gates fiends open in the area for an hour?

Alzar breaks a jar, summons, the Djinni and it casts Wish for him and it does, in fact, work. He calls in his big troops like Vix on her chariot tethered to her Masticore, allies from the Grand Duchy, and more.

Alzar brings out a few Elementals, and then a Mass Teleport later, lands in the center of their camp, with a Protection from Fiends priest spell on.

Wail of the Banshee begins. Some demons die. Elementals begin to smash. Alzar is immune to their attacks, and spells with a 95% MR, and they can’t bring in more allies, nor escape.

Shortly, Elementals are dead, Alzar’s Death Spells, Wails, Skulltraps, and more are all blowing stuff up. About 100 are fleeing in various directions after failing to Gate. Alzar flies up and drops Spyders, while Vix hits one flank hard leading the way and inspiring those behind her to fight for their Grand Duchess. Alzar then casts Worldwalk to his central storage area from Ith K’hinax ,and out pore 10 Death Tyrants, and a bunch of heavy hitting undead like vampire and such that he prepped. They fly out and chase down the demons and hit them hard.

Alzar cleans them out, flying around himself, and using long range spells or weapons.
