Two gaming updates

In the climax to the campaign the PCs, having arranged a distraction elsewhere to draw the majority of the defenders, snuck into the vicinty of the portal and sucessfully defended the NPC Arcanist while he preformed the ritual to close it. The battle was hard and desperate with suprisingly little damage spread around. Poor Twitch took the brunt of it, requiring actual cybernetic rebuilding in the epilogue. The portal was closed, the demon lord mostly destroyed except for a few maggots which managed to find a home in Victor, thereafter trying to corrupt him into becoming a new host, the demon army scattered to the four corners of the earth. Ember didn't have to return to Egypt to face trial - this time - despite that being the price for receiving the Arcanist's help. Firefly's future is uncertain with his secret identity possibly blown wide open.

Saturday D&D
Spent some time divvying up loot, discoverd a deep pit trap, handled some Carrion crawlers despite two of the party becoming paralysed, then lost a character and a bunch of other gear in the first round of fighting a black pudding - we retreated.
The deceased character was d.'s again - entirely his own fault, he didn't ask for healing after taking significant damage falling into the pit and was insistently in front when the pudding got surprise. Asking for healing is the sort of thing we've stopped suggesting to him - it's the sort of thing if he won't remember himself he deserves the consequences.
We lost quite a bit of party loot with the character as well, despite the fact that she had only been with the party a few days - she was the only one with arcane magical ability.
The other stuff was with Arthur - a Cloak of Resistance and more importantly his Breastplate - the gift from his church on being inducted into the Knightly order. This will make his desire to cross the mountains to a city containing a church to his faith somewhat pressing. It's quite fortunate he didn't lose his magical shield and flail as well.
