There was never a doubt in my mind that the good guys would ultimately win. The question, however, was whether or not anyone — any of the heroes, in particular — would have to make a heroic sacrifice in order to attain victory against all odds. Trapped in a fortress, because if they leave, the seal around their necks would detonate. Abandoned by most of the military, because this is their punishment for disobeying orders. Up against a a horde of demons that stretches for miles. Commanded by a Demon Lord with insane regenerative abilities (or so we’re told). Worst of all, there are humans on the other side, demon sympathizers who are hellbent on sabotaging our heroes’ best laid plans. So it’s going to take a Herculean effort to achieve victory, right? Someone is going to die, right? After all, heroes can always be summoned back to the fray. Yeah, they might lose their sense of self, but the stakes have never been higher!
