[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4430814, member: 54846"] Here's the situation. My PCs are about to enter a lost colony, a village of almost a thousand people exposed to my [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=238704"]abyssal virus[/URL] five years ago. The colony has thus been made up of petty possessed humans, captured (and possessed) lizardfolk/shifters, and petty demons. My question is, what's it going to look like, after five years? What sort of awful, horrible things are they going to find? What are some features of the immediate area? What have the demons and possessed mortals been [I]doing[/I] all of this time*? Could they even have sustained themselves for the last five years, given how chaotic and brutal demons usually are (with little disregard for their hosts, for that matter)? I'm worried that it's going to come off like a ramshackle hellhole with some tumor-faced freaks and a few nasty abyssal rednecks, instead of creepy, [I]alien[/I], and interesting. Before you ask, the colony is at the mouth of a river, along the ocean, in a jungle/swampy area. The native lizardfolk and shifters of the area have been fighting the demons and possessed folk, but haven't been able to succeed because the fiends just keep infecting their people/taking captives. What I am [I]not[/I] looking for is suggestions for combat. I all ready know what the pcs are fighting, the defenses (to an extent), and all that. What I'm looking for are tips for the atmosphere, the "So what have they been up to", and other sorts of questions that players seeking immersion are going to start asking. *I have thought that the fiends have built a statue to Demogorgon, or some other prince. What the statue DOES, I don't know. Something freaky. [/QUOTE]
