Six "heroes" go on a quest to prevent an undead sorcerer and his goblin second in command taking control of a god-killing abomination and using it to enslave or destroy the world.
Six D&D characters with typically dysfunctional PC group dynamics battle a series of obstacles and their own neuroses in an attempt to stop an affably evil lich sorceror and a well-intentioned extremist goblin cleric from seizing control of a magical gate, which they all believe to contain an ageless god-killing eldritch abomination.

There are magical rifts in the universe which Team Evil, led by an undead superevilpowerful sorcerer, wants to control for nefarious purposes, Team Good wants to prevent that by killing him.

Conflicts between who one is and what one is among various characters and their acceptance of their place in the world in both of these regards escalate to threaten the world.

Yep, that pretty much covers the "run-on" part at least.

A group of apparently archetypal PCs stumble onto a nefarious plan (to take over the worldtm) and is forced to step up to the challenge and grow, despite (or because of) the many adversities in their path.
EDIT: changed generic to archetypal, sounds better and fits better too I think
Everyone forgets about Banjo, leading to his inevitable return as the Elder Puppet
Of couse, when Elan stated the need for 'forgetting' Banjo he's just made sure people will talk for him forever... if only to avert the dread rising of the eldritch puppet. Comical incompetence or subtle brilliance, so hard to tell with Elan.
