[QUOTE="Markn, post: 4981934, member: 21827"] Hey folks, Got a campiagn going that is approaching 19th level. The next adventure involves going to Hell to take out a powerful Outcast Devil on the Plane of Avernus (1st layer of Hell). My thinking is that they need to get an audience with this powerful Devil (so that they can kill him). As an incentive to get this audience the PCs have gained a magic item called the gem of souls (my own creation) that contains 666 souls. Since souls are essentially a currency in Hell I have decided that this would be something that would be enticing to this devil. However, said devil, is very cautious and doesn't let anyone just enter his court - he is an outcast afterall and even other devils are scheming to see him destroyed. Thus, I have come up with the idea that he has three trusted lieutenants. If these lietenants will vouch for the PCs (because the PCs will likely offer them something or best them somehow) then the PCs can get the audience with the devil they want to kill. What I would like help with is coming up with 3 interesting fights/skill challenges besides just a straight up fight that would make the encounter more interesting. For example, the 1st lieutenant is more of a brute and so he respects strength. With this one, he will fight for a time because he believes the PCs are nothing. Maybe once they have him bloodied he will call for a truce and discuss the situation a bit more and then make a counter offer to the PCs with him trying to garner wealth (perhaps even the gem himself), knowledge or power in exchange for him vouching for the PCs. Perhaps he even has the PCs face a "champion" of his choosing to prove their mettle. So there you have it, I have the seed for the 1st lieutenant (but this can still be greatly improved), and I am asking for your help with the others. Throw me some ideas, personalities, skill challenges or anything else that would help. Appreciate it and thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
