Clear the demonic dungeon under Auntie Edna's house

Auntie Edna is an ex-adventurer who lives on a farm north of Ashington. She guards a portal to a demonic dungeon realm hidden in the basement of her house. This dungeon complex must be cleared out periodically by adventurers to prevent the demon king who rules it from advancing his plans to break free and take over the world.

Structure

Resolution

The party resurrected the demon king's love interest (Zella Iconspire), defeated the "efreet king" who had taken over, and freed the original demon king (Hoen) from his imprisonments by both the efreet king and the dungeon itself. It turned out that Hoen was partially responsible for the proper functioning of magic on Halloran and his imprisonment was causing problems with that. And besides, he was over that whole "world domination" thing. It was a good day for reconciliation.

Components

Goals

Clear out the demonic realm linked to Auntie Edna's basement.

Smash the demon lord in charge so hard it takes a long time for him to return.

Stakes

If the heroes fail, the demon king may break free of the portal's wards and try to take over the world.

Moral Quandaries

The demon king who's known to control this dungeon has been overthrown or driven out by a new fire-themed demon lord. Would it be better to return the known quantity to power?

The demon king has a faithful mortal love interest and seems a pretty sportsmanlike sort. Is he really so bad?
