## Final Battle Notes
- The Soul Monger attacks with tentacles when hit. Reaction to hitting struts or the Soul Monger. Toss into lava for big fun.
- Vorpal sword can cut the atropal's umbilical
- Acererak's Sphere of Annihilation

## The Feelings We're Going For
- Danger and anxiety but not hopelessness
- I don't want them to step out of the game's fiction
- I want them to win
- I don't want them to think it was too easy or too fast

## Dials we can turn
- hit points (up or down)
- damage (up or down)
- wraiths (summon some)
- cutting the umbilical
- Give the Atropal legendary resistance
- Number of broken spokes (1,2,3?)

## Acererak
- Shows up if either the soul monger, or atropal, or both are destroyed.
- The trickster gods resurrect dead characters with 50 hp.
- Ogechi's deal.
- Kills anyone who attacks him.
- If the party TPKs, the trickster gods resurrect them with 50 HP.
- Trickster Gods Restore them to 1 HP; TGs do nothing.
- Acererak has permanent fly.
- Acererak's spells: PWK, Fireball & Lighting Bolt legendary; Finger of Death; Disintegrate; move the sphere;
- Legendary invoke curse (vul to necrotic and disadv on saves).
