Alright, guys. I'm planning out a campaign for me and a few buddies, and I need ideas. I have a basic arc laid out.
All of the four characters find themselves in a town without knowing how they got there and are drawn to a dark purple rift in the middle of town square. Upon approaching it, the characters and several townsmen are teleported in front of Everlost, the fortress of Orcus. The townsmen are somehow killed instantly and the players must fight off a very large horde of zombies. Immediately after the fight the characters (All level 8) are approached by Orcus who wipes the floor with them.
The PCs find themselves alive somehow in another realm. This is where I need help. I need ideas for more planes and demiplanes and crazy places for the PCs to go.
Essentially Orcus found some way to gain power over the planes and he plans to usurp the Raven Queen's seat with it. The PCs will eventually meet up with the Raven Queen (Away from her domain, somewhere) and will work out a plan to stop Orcus.
I also plan on giving the PCs a spelljammer to use for a while. They'll probably lose it while going to the astral corpse and getting teleported after they finish it. Then they'll appear in the town they started in, except it's completely decimated and destroyed. The portal will still be open and the PCs will be teleported to Everlost again.
This time they'll face Orcus and must beat him with the help of the Raven Queen (I'll essentially make a lower level Orcus). After the characters defeat Orcus (Not kill, of course), the PCs will be instantly teleported back to where they started at the town, just as it was before they set out on the adventure. This time, though, the portal isn't there, and everything is where it should be.
Hope that wasn't too long-winded.. I tried to keep it as brief as possible.. I want to get an insane amount of demiplanes, crazy planes and just fun places to visit in general.
I'm thinking maybe with the Spelljammer to have the characters unable to understand the controls, so when poking at it they go to a random plane as rolled from a d20..
Thanks a lot for the help, in advance.
