Yeenoghu, or: An Exercise in Bothering Chaos Gods
Storytime, folks and Folk. My dad’s mid-level DND group, before setting off on an adventure, would chant Yeenoghu’s name in his temple to try summoning him. The reasoning was that the Demon Lord of Gnolls, Yeenoghu, was the least powerful chaos god there was while still being an actual god, so he had lots of treasure but was actually killable.
Boy, were they wrong.
Finally, they summon him, and Yeenoghu teleports in, looks around at the party, and shouts Minions, Attend Me, and his high demon council teleports in. They take one look around, sigh, and also yell Minions, Attend Me, and Yeenoghu's temple is rapidly filled with a fractal explosion of minions, some in various states of preparedness as they get pulled from what they're doing to fight their demonic lord's enemies, and the players have to wade through them all just to get close enough to try to kill Yeenoghu.
Numerous dead orc peasants later, they did.
