13 gates huh?

We only need one, the rest will just be a liability for our world while we are gone. Since we have some time to kill before the orcs reach us, lets tear down the other 12 gates, and kill as many demons as we can in the process.

You leap from the wall without another word, fly through the choking air and smash into one of the charging 4 legged giants. It’s moan cuts off once you briefly plunge your blade in its skull before you’re swarmed by demonic infantry.

These are rabble, easily cut down by your sword, they fall like wheat before a scythe. Your blade doesn’t even pause as it glides through their armor, blades, and shields.

As demons charge you, defenders on the wall are able to focus fire on other portions of the demon horde. You cut and smash and stab in fluid motions, bringing death with every motion.

Your attention turns to the gate. It may be easier to deal with the horde if they had fewer gates to run out of.

You charge forward, bowling over screaming demons who couldn’t get out of your way. You make small detours to cut down the giants that can’t get out of your path, their falls crushing hundreds of demons.

Black fire billows in your path, burning away lesser demons. You slam your sword down and a path clears, cutting through the deadly fire. It barely scorches your armor as you leap to topple the pillar that forms the side of the closet gate.

But then it shifts 5 feet to the right, and you sail straight into hell.

It is a place full of fire and burning, and the smell of sulfur and brimstone hits you immediately. You land on crumbly stone, surrounded by demons.  Snarling in defiance you rise. You may be on their turf, but you will rip and-

The ground collapses beneath you.

You fall, the platform turning to fine powder in your grip. Demonic footsoldiers cry out in fear as you all begin to tumble.

Below you extends a bottomless pit, or at least as far as you can see. Above are ramps that reached out to the gate, bearing many thousands marching to your world. It appears they purposefully collapsed the section you arrived on.

You look around, the pit appears to be a mile in diameter, with many spirals bearing what must be millions of demons, all funneled towards the entrance to your world.

As you fall the thought occurs to you that there may very well never be a bottom, and you will fall forever.

What do you do? (Will have options posted later, but if you come up with your own it’ll get Rogg in the fight faster. You might have some level up potential as well...)

Through sheer force of will and authority, command gravity itself to obey us, crushing the demons around us into a fine paste and allowing us to ascend back to the surface, where we shall lay waste upon the infernal hordes!

[Madman198237]

I do like the idea of forcing gravity to do what we want, but for a more "reasonable" option....

Fall like a skydiver (knees bent back, arms bent, etc.) and angle our descent towards the sides of the pit as fast as we can, screaming obscenities at hell's weak excuse for gravity. Get close to the stairways on the side, and cut them down, severing the demon armies' ability to march to their gates.


Alternate alternative:

Summon up all the rage we can muster, and stab the very concept of this hell, while falling. Just murder hell itself, and all those hubris-filled millions of demons who think they're going to take over OUR world.

How about we try both at the same time? After all, if we make the gravity thing work, then this part becomes even easier!

After we land, work our way back up through the gates and back to our world. It's important for several reasons that we enter with our army at the appointed time. It's gotta be bad for moral that we seemingly vanished into a hell gate, but since they collapsed the area around the entrance at least this one probably isint spewing as many demons anymore.

[Superdorf]

I'm thinking once we find solid ground, we should try jumping back up to the gate. We've already shown ourselves to be freakishly strong-- surely that applies to our own body mass!

Brimstone is an alternative name for sulphur, or sulfur.

Apparently brimstone is an alternative name for sulphur. So Hell is just made of sulfur. Why is sulfur hated by deities? Or is it loved by demons?

[Madman198237]

Brimstone is a name for what hell is made out of. Historically, it became associated with sulfur because sulfur can be found at the mouths of volcanoes, which might be charitably described as hellish places when active. The heat, the noxious and toxic gases, the presence of sulfur (a material not found in that form anywhere else), sometimes molten rock, it seemed pretty close to hell as far as ancient people were concerned, hence why solid deposits of sulfur (a material almost uniquely found in these locations) became called "brimstone".

Thank you. It’s interesting to learn why things are called what they are called.
