![]() ![]() King Gareth Dragonsbane awards the three rulership of Vaasa as a reward. They kill Ygorl and escape back to Cedarleaf where they find Khelben, unharmed. Ygorl leads the trio back to Damara and then to Limbo and reveals that he manipulated them into joining together and bringing him Cireka's sword. The dragon obeys Ygorl and kills Cireka, rendering the demon stone useless but Rannek takes Cireka's sword and slays the dragon in turn. Unfortunately, Ygorl sends them both through a portal to the dragon Caminus,'s lair. They aid Drizzt Do'Urden and Clan Battlehammer in defeating the trolls and use the Underdark tunnels from the hall to get to an ancient Githyanki stronghold where they expect to find the two warring generals so that they can imprison them in the stone. They then go to Mithral Hall which is under attack by an army of trolls. The three find a portal to the yuan-ti temple and steal the demon stone. Unfortunately, Ygorl shows up again vowing revenge and while the protagonists escape, Khelben disappears and Blackstaff Tower is reduced to ruins. The party escape to Blackstaff Tower to meet with Illius' mentor, Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun, who tells them that they need to go to a yuan-ti temple to Merrshaulk in Chult to find a demon stone that will re-imprison Cireka and Ygorl.

While having a knowledge of those things make some of the more obscure references worthwhile, the addictive hack n’ slash gameplay ensures that gamers of all D & D knowledge levels will have plenty to have fun with. ![]() While the game is oozing with D & D lore, you don’t have to be a level 50 wizard or know the names of all the weapons and items to have a good time. Call it the “X factor” or the “fun factor,” but Demon Stone is simply fun to play. While all the features that I’ve talked about already make Demon Stone one heck of a game, there’s also another feature that helps vault the game into a higher status. GameInformer has got the first hands-on impressions of Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, and the reviewer is quite enthusiastic about the game.
