THEY HAVE COME!!!
Whether you have adventured for minutes or decades, you are now faced with the otherworldly denizens and machinations of other planes intruding upon the mortal soil of your homeland.
Where will you go? What can you do?
From the dark corners of the world, demons are invading in force. You and your closest friends are partially responsible for the fate of the world!
1) What do you need to protect yourself from waves of demons?
2) What do you need to properly hurt the enemy?
3) Can you, all by yourself, beat back the whole attack?
4) Are their special techniques for fighting demons?
5) Will your nation be able to help you?
6) Is their some place in your homeland that must be protected at all costs?
7) Why doesn’t someone else take care of this? Aren’t the Knights of the Holy $random_noun$ supposed to defend the world from this sort of thing?
8) Would a counter-invasion into Hell help? Would it be worth it?
  a. How do you get there?
  b. How do you survive the environment while there?
  c. How do you get home again?
9) Are you the only ones that can organize all the peoples and races into mutual defense or counter-offensive?
10) What do you get if you win? Will the king or gods reward you?
11) What can you confiscate from the enemy? The spellbooks and weapons of darkness might include some gray items worth keeping.
12) Win or lose, what responsibilities or punishments can you expect? A century of torment from the victors? A two-thousand year charge to head off any more invasions?
13) After years of fighting, what can you expect to become of the land? What crazy adaptations will the people or warriors have made to deal with the new situation? Will the pacifists go homicidal?
14) Will you and other ‘heroes’ you know specialize in hurting demons, surviving to fight another day, or something else?
15) Might you be able to trigger in-fighting among the enemy?
16) What crazy ways will the horde of evil apply what they find in the mortal world? (Cross-breeding projects, etc.)
So, I’d like everyone and their brother to try to answer at least one of these questions. Be it a paragraph on military strategy, a sentence long idea about keeping lots of ice nearby, or a new prestige class grown from dealing with this threat. Any or all would be welcome.
If you think of a different scenario, involving:
A) Mindflayer invasions,
B) Celestials trying to free unfairly kept souls from hell, but have to escort them through other planes.
C) The arrival of a busload of Robin Williams-like Djinn
D) Whatever
feel free to explore those ideas too.
