The terrible fight rages on, scores of demons being slaughtered left and right as their lords wage a horrible war against each other. Jubilex and Zuggtmoy slapping at each other mercilessly, Yeenoghu and Baphomet trading blow after blow, while Demogorgon and Orcus howled in frightful terrors in the mad rage.
(Everyone make a Constitution saving throw, DC 18, or take 1 level of exhaustion from enduring the hellish scene)
Before much longer Jubilex puts down Zuggtmoy, only to be cut down by a bloodied Baphomet. Running into the middle of Demogorgon and Orcus, Baphomet draws their ire and is summarily dispatched before Demogorgon turns their attention back to Orcus.
The sounds of battle finally die away, the ground before you stained black and red with demonic blood and ichor. In the terrible grip of Demogorgon, even the mighty Orcus looks almost small. Tentacles hold the Demon Prince of Undeath in a crushing grip, slithering across the maggot-riddled flesh of the horned demon, as they tighten inexorably. A strangled gasp issues from the demon lord’s throat as a horrific crunching sound echoes throughout the cavern and his skull-topped wand clatters onto the floor.
Demogorgon casts aside the limp form, which melts away as Orcus returns to the Abyss that spawned him. The Prince of Demons throws back his two heads and roars his triumph. As he does, his nearer head turns, burning eyes raking across the battlefield. Filled with bloodlust and battle rage, the demon lord searches for another target.
(Starting Combat. Demogorgon is currently 80ft southwest of the tower.)
The carnage is massive, and horrific. Horkas thanks his battle masters for the toughening of his mind and body to be able to endure the effects of this epic battle. But now, as only one demon lord remains, the artificer knows it is time for their party to finally end the threat to the world. At least for a while...
Horkas sends an orb of energy towards Demogorgon, arcing over the body-littered field of battle to strike the demon lord and explode with a thunderous impact! (Chromatic Orb attack: 28 - Thunder damage: 10
Skitter stays by his creator's side in the adamantine tower, but the shield guardian moves 30' SW away from the tower towards the demon, standing ready to attack when it comes down the narrow canyon and gets within melee range.
((Does Lulu need a CON save even though she wasn't watching the scene? If so, 14, 1 level of exhaustion.))
Shaken from prayer by the roar of triumph, Lulu calls for her Goddess' blessing, then kicks off the ground with Steps of Night.
((Round 1? Action: Bless at 3rd level on Horkas, Katryl, Khessa, Traydark, and herself. Add a d4 to attacks and saving throws. (Don't forget you all have adv on WIS saves while that 5thp is still there). Bonus Action: Steps of Night. Gains 30ft flying speed for 1 minute. Special: Concentrating on Bless.))
The sight of the epic conftontation between those embodyment of furious evil drains Khessa's strengths, but she is determined to end the terribile threat once and for all.
The blonde arcane warrior urges the elementals to raise and stop the Prince of Demons, preventing him to come in melee and crush the party the same way he did to Orcus.
With the living stony barrier in place, she channels the power of the wave, unleashing her magic on the weakened demonic champion.

Traydark Con save: 19
As the mighty Demogorgon turns his gaze on the black adamantine tower the noble drow springs into action, swiftly cursing the prince of demons before unleashing two purple beams of eldritch crackling force towards them.
Khessa is incredibly proud of how the battle is going... The Demon Prince, as powerful as he is, seems not to be omnipotent after all! The chosen spell evidently exploited one of his weaknesses - and as it turns out, it prevented him from expressing his terrifying offensive potential to the fullest. And the elementals, which the blonde arcane warrior had thought of as a defensive force, are actually managing to actively contribute in taking him down!
"See? Even the earth of the Underdark itself rejects you, Demogorgon!" the tall adventuress exclaims, at that sight "Even though, combining the contents of those two big heads you have, you must barely have a pound of brains, I think you're realizing that it's time to flee back into the Abyss with your tail between your legs! I hope you've already packed your bags".

The shield guardian moves another 30 ft and wades into the melee. Horkas activates the spell stored within it, ensuring that only the demogorgon is attacked by the fey spirit guardians! (Demon lord must make a DC16 Wis save or take 14 radiant damage). The guardian then smashes the demon with both fists, trying to batter it into the rocky ground. (Attack 1: 15 Bludgeoning damage: 14 :: Attack 2: 20 Bludgeoning damage: 11)
Horkas sends four small magic missiles at the demon, magically aimed so that all of them hit! (14 force damage)
Seeing the Prince of Demons at the end of his strength, Khessa urges the party to make the final effort: "He's ours! It's time to say Mr Octopus Arms goodbye!"
The blonde arcane warrior launches herself against the colossal opponent with Dawn in hand, slashing at his thighs and monstrous tentacles with the blade shining with pure light.
[[ OOC: Khessa has exhaustion, but with the many enemies around Demogorgon, she should have no problem in finding a position to flank - so I'm having her attack without Disadvantage, just a straight roll ]]
If Demogorgon is still standing, Khessa uses Action Surge to upcast a Magic Missile with a 2nd level slot:
Seeing the Prince of Demons who still does not collapse, the blonde arcane warrior, who during her slashes had already begun to pronounce arcane words of power, extends her left hand towards him and four darts of pure energy leave her fingers, sticking into the chest of the terrible opponent.
Watching the mighty Demogorgon staggering before even reaching them, the noble drow frowns. Was this some kind of trickery, surely it couldn't be this easy to defeat what would be something akin to a god. It was hard to fathom that this was the same demon prince that had laid waste and spread madness in both Menzoberranzan and Sloobludop. With disbelief of the situation, Traydark unleashes another two purple beams of eldritch crackling force towards the futilely flailing demon prince.
