I've pretty much figured out how i want the "final battle" to go but it's the part inbetween arriving in the abyss and the final battle with the big bad guy that's got me stumped. I have sort of envisioned a situation where they are stranded on the plane with no means to leave (no spellcasters in the party)How do you run a game in an enviroment that's by it's very nature hostile to the pc's? there wouldn't be any helpful peasants, everything they encounter is going to try to kill them. I find it difficult to imagine a city full of open minded demons willing to sell/buy equipment to the pc's. How do you make meaningful and interesting encounters in a place full of demons? I'm afraid the entire campaign will degenerate into a slaughter demons without end until we're killed or kill the bad guy. Anybody run a game in the abyss? Anybody have any ideas on how to make this campaign more than just hack n' slash? any ideas or advice is very welcome <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> thanksEdit: oh and for those who don't know what the 88th layer of the abyss consists of</blockquote>
