This is going nowhere Ken. The book is an AD&D novel with AD&D characters in an AD&D world. You are using some other defintions. Im sorry, but demons are not gods (not even close, in AD&D) and can be slain or summoned by powerful enough characters.

I understand exactly what you are meaning, but in AD&d demons are what I have shown you.

In Tolkiens world, the Balrog is closest to a demon. We know that one wiped out a dwarven nation, but also died at the hands of a single powerful wizard.

The fact is demons are what you want them to be (no one I know has ever seen one). The books Im referring to are all stories made up by writers(pure fiction).

In a biblical sense demons are simply fallen angels.

If you want your demons to be all powerful, unstoppable fiends then dont bother reading the book "Dance of Demons". This book was a high level adventure (there are very few of these written). For what it was I enjoyed it. Some hated it...as I have hated other books suggested here on the boards.

I wish you happy reading.
My current most recommended series: The Song of Fire and Ice by George R. Martin
