40 beasts, 10 cultists, and 10 saytrys, led by leader and disaster manager 1: Get an orb of Stalwart.

10 satyrs, 5 minotaurs, 10 cultists, 70 beasts, led by battle commander 2: Kill off Unlight & friends.
3 centaur scouts: Dump those poisoned spearmints in Volker's water supply.

Get orb: [2] They look in the stocks and realize you already have one, so they just go out drinking.
Summon: [4] They successfully perform the long-overdue summoning. It's not as dramatic as the buildup made everyone think. (summoned, purging cancelled)
Kill banana: [5] They assault the guys trying to send you away and his cronies. They manage to kill the boss too, but his presence leaves them feeling a bit uneasy. (Banana loses 50 cultists, Banana hammock dead, 100 beasts, 5 minotaurs, 20 cultists, and 10 satyrs feel uneasy)
Kill unlight: [6 reroll> 2] The battle commander is worried about the fervor they work up, and calls off the attack.
Poison: [4] Due to being incredibly unsubtle creatures, they get shot by the guards, but manage to throw the mints into the water supply. A few people die before anyone catches on. (-3 centaur scouts, Volk loses 10 cultists)

[Aslandus]

Unlight: Use maddening stare on Volkriit
[1] As tempting as it would have been to turn dissolve Archon's mind-controlled army, Unlight makes the probably poor decision to push against Volk's mind. It finds the fortitude of Volkriit insurmountable, and goes mad itself. (Unlight has gone mad, roll dice to determine targets)
Unlight's cultists: Archon has not left any guards! Attack him directly!
[5] Unlight's minions however, find much more success. They tear through the thin mist that makes up Archon's form, leaving only a slightly iridescent puddle behind. Archon sees Death beckoning. (Archon is on death's door)

[Whisperling]

Well... here goes.

Archon: Bargain with death.
Everyone else (including leaders, commanders, etc): Attack Volkriit.

[DAPARROT]

2710 cultists+150 bored cultists: try the ritual again
Vol-Kriit+Val-Krete:stay near the guards and help them defend the rest of the cult

[Aslandus]

Well... here goes.

Archon: Bargain with death.
Everyone else (including leaders, commanders, etc): Attack Volkriit.

Bargain: [3] You manage to convince Death to let you live for a bit longer, at the bargain price of part of your mind. You forget what the color Pturic looks like, but feel like you're back in the mortal world. (-1 power permanently, now uninjured)
Attack!: [4] They charge into battle against Volkriit, but the ludicrous amount of firepower guarding him proves too much to break through. They retreat with heavy losses, but they have survivors. (Volkriit loses 450 marksmen guards, -8 zombeasts, "lumberjack" is dead, -6 talking cats, -640 beasts, -25 satyrs, -100 large beasts, -25 minotaurs, -20 centaurs, Sharkon is dead))

((approximately 687 combat power from minions, 200 or so from subhorrors... 887 power total, I think... Weird, I thought you had more manpower than Volkriit, but I guess that's from the huge variety of units rather than actual strength...))

2710 cultists+150 bored cultists: try the ritual again
Vol-Kriit+Val-Krete:stay near the guards and help them defend the rest of the cult

Ritual: [2] They get distracted by the screaming and gunfire.
Defend: [5] You and your near-identical not-twin take up guard duty. You are ready to die before you let this cult be demolished! (Val'krete and Vol'kriit guarding well)

((How honorable, though it does mean you're exposed to direct attack if someone's feeling extra gutsy))

[Aslandus]

Unlight: Illuminate [3] Unlight's mind
[2] Though lucky enough to target itself in its madness, Unlight has trouble finding a mirror to stare into.
Unlight's cultists: Arm yeselves
[3] They manage to find some pipes and other potential bludgeoning tools, but nothing too great. (improvised weapons acquired)

[Whisperling]

Archon, advised by leader and disaster manager 1: Numbers failed. Now it's time to terraform Volkriit into a volcano.
Everyone else, leader and disaster manager 2: Guard.

[DAPARROT]

everyone kill archon and his cult

[Aslandus]

Archon, advised by leader and disaster manager 1: Numbers failed. Now it's time to terraform Volkriit into a volcano.
Everyone else, leader and disaster manager 2: Guard.

Terraform: [4] Volkriit tries to resist, but a rumbling and sharp cracking noise erupts forth as the ground around him tears apart, and lava spurts out onto him. The pain is immeasurable, the loss of consciousness is more a mercy than a curse. (Volkriit is on death's door)
Guard: [2] They decide not to.

everyone kill archon and his cult

[4] Your cronies, not noticing your failing health, charge into battle. They tear through the ranks of Archon's cult, even striking down the spirit himself. It's an absolute massacre, and though it's not without cost, Archon's cult is no more. (Archon is on death's door, Archon loses 120 cultists, 2 necromancers, 2 espers, 6 talking cats, 2 centaur scouts, 5 battle commanders, 2 leaders, 2 disaster averters and 5 satyrs, Beldroth and Scrub fish are dead, -100 marksmen, -150 cultists)

((And so, the game comes down to two dice rolls...))

[Aslandus]

Unlight: Illuminate [1] Volkriit's mind
[irrelevant] Volkriit isn't being afflicted with anything that Unlight can help with, so the illumination does nothing regardless of how well it works.
Unlight's cultists: Practice with weapons
[1] The training goes terribly. Dozens are dead and the instructor is confused. (-25 cultists)

End of turn 27.

Unlight (uninjured, INSANE [roll for targets]): 75 cultists, improvised weapons

World details:
-Orb of Stalwarts 1 and 3 destroyed

For conciseness, here's the rolls for not dying:
Volk: [2] Death doesn't let you leave, not even to say goodbye to your cult. You find yourself in a world free of thorny legal conundrums and annoying pools of mist. Finally, you can rest after all this chaos and death. You're sure Val'krete can deal with the fallout of your death, they're basically you anyway. (Vol'kriit is DEAD)
Archon: [2] Death informs you that this was just a clever ruse, releasing you from your earlier demise so you'd bring Volkriit down with you. You tell him that Unlight is still alive, and Death momentarily considers giving you another shot before deciding against it. You find yourself in an endless labyrinth with a steady stream of adventurers entering and near endless resources to torment them with. Time to get back to what you do best. (Archon is DEAD)

Oh dear... Well, you both get one turn to try and make the ending, so go for it... If you've got anyone left to do anything that is...

[FallacyofUrist]

Well. Mutually Assured Destruction, anyone?

[Whisperling]

Archon: bargain with death.
Archon: If possible, and if both Voltkritt and I are somehow alive, terraform him into another volcano.

Archon: If this is the ending, and I yet live, terraform the world into a new Maze, then retreat to a citadel somewhere within it.

[H4zardZ1]

Vol'kriit actually won: He still had the cult to set the ending. Next time, if every horror dies, the tiebreaker is the cult, but if it's the same, PR, allies then inquisitors. Feel free to modify this list... :b

Spoiler: Sheet. (click to show/hide)

Name: Shadocra
Appearance: A mage seemingly covered by a robe made from shadow.
Homeworld: A world full of mages.
Abilities: Shadow of Fear(Presence Ability): A kind of shadow covers Shadowcra that inflicts fear to any non-cult that isn't himself(except for anyone that somehow mind controlled him) in a semi-large radius. The symptoms are: Paranoia, fear from darkness, uncontrollable twitching, and in extreme cases, insanity from fear and death from heart attack. This effect is weakened by any kind of light.
Shadow Cloud: Covers an area in a dark cloud, almost completely covering the area from sunlight.
Crush Light: Damages(or kills, if it was weak enough) any life-based light and short electric-based light, but magic and fire(or heat)-based light will simply turn off for a very short time(unless the magic is weak)
Skills:
Presence:3(Enough to throw people to insanity from fear at a short time if it goes well enough)
Mindlock:1(His mind is empowered with his own presence power)
Power:1(Even with that powerful presence, he still had some power left to use)
Physique:0(He's just a weak dude physically)
Appeal:0(Who likes someone that is covered with shadows?)

[DAPARROT]

Vol-Kriit:bargain with death
Marksman: shoot archon if he gets back up
Everyone else: try to revive me with the pitual
