PCs (lvl 20): Alexander, Broch, Tarlyn, Yincan, Zadas
The party enters Shadowthrone's inner sanctum, formerly the throne room of the Raven Queen. The god of death is surrounded by shadow demons. The time for diplomacy is long past, and battle is joined.
Shadowthrone is weakened by the loss of his coins, and by the blow received from the Bull of Vengeance, but he's still a GOD. He inflicts much pain on the PCs, with his blades of force, and his necromantic spells.
The PCs need to harness every bit of strength they have to stand a chance. When Tarlyn falls, Lolth appears to him to lend her help, in exchange of eternal servitude. The dark elf refuses this offer, and is brought back by the healing magic of his companions.
Covered in blood, Zadas fights on, stabbing Shadowthrone with Wave again and again. Broch harnesses the sliver of divinity inside of him to assume his final form, that of a mighty Titan, then proceeds to pummel his enemy with Titan's Lust. Yincan summons the power of the Seed of Life they received from the Tree of Life on Tyrrah, and she becomes a powerful angelic creature of pure sunlight. The Bull of Vengeance makes his appearance, but he cannot take physical form on another God's Realm. Not until Alexander allows him to take possession of his physical form!
The God of Death is attacked from all sides by powerful heroes and celestial creatures. Until Tarlyn raises Blackrazor one last time, and delivers the final blow to Shadowthrone. Screaming in horror, Shadowthrone's soul is devoured by the black sword.
At this point lolth makes her appearance. She demands to receive Blackrazor, so that she may leech Shadowthrone's power for herself. Realizing they have on their side a god-slaying sword, the party defies Lolth. The Bull of Vengeance supports their claim to the sword. Seething with rage, Lolth swears vengeance on the party.
Having defeated a god, and made an enemy of another, the party considers their day done. The Bull of Vengeance teleports the party to his Hall of Valor, where they can rest and witness the results of their final battle. Shadowthrone's armies around the the Multiverse dissolve into smoke, his threat averted forever more.
