Hey - Yeenoghu and his gnolls would get involved! What are some other "deities" (like Lolth) that are of the fiendish variety?

Where do you think Formians would get involved? I mean, they're good - but would they enslave all who wish to oppose? I can totally see this kind of thing being corrupted by fiendish taint.

I know that multiple times they mention how the layers of various planes get ripped from their native area and go elsewhere - perhaps this is what they do - they rip Hell into the Abyss, and then reform it into something that just represents evil.

As far as the Lady of Pain - what's to say that Demogorgon or Asmodeus couldn't negotiate with her, and have her join their side? I always thought Sigil sounded a little 'Ravenloftish', where the Lady of Pain is a prisoner of her own city - perhaps the baddies find an artifact to free her or something - and she descends to help lead a triumvirate of Demogorgon, Asmodeus and the Lady of Pain.

Who does Celestia have as far as "noted" personalities, besides the regular gods? I know the Exalted Deeds book published a bunch of angels and stuff?

Oh man, so many ideas - must. stop. post. now.

What if the Lady is actually there to guard a darker unknowable evil. By weakening her the ancient evil is released. Cthulhu or Azathoth anyone?

The Lady seems unconcerned with events outside of Sigil, and in the past 1000 years or so, She has spoken all of twice. Never by Herself, always having Her message conveyed by a Dabus hovering near to Her and giving forth Her proclaimation when gestured at by Her Serenity. You're not likely to negotiate anything considering that She already bans deities and Archfiends from the city for a reason. *shrug*

Hey Calico_Jack73. Are you trying to reach 500 posts in one thread or something!? Geez man consolidate already I have a hard enough time finding Paka's threads. You know Paka. The guy who started this thread and whose idea this was.

Hey Paka,

Want some other ideas regarding your story? Whitey came up with some nifty ones, especially regarding idea #3 posted on the Story Hour thread. Can Email these along, if you're interested.

Hey Whitey,

Please post your ideas over at the SH thread, so they're all in one place.

Thanks!

Questions for you Paka, as this is your thread, I understand that the Fiends are united, but what about the otherside?
Did this come as a shock, catching many off guard?
Are the Yugoloths involved or did the united demon/devil armies kill them first for the betrayals?
What are the good races doing (Devas, Archons, Guardinals, Eladrin, etc.)?
What are the Nuetral Races doing (Modron,Gith, Inevitables, Slaadi, Rilmani, etc.)?
How are the attacks progressing, are they striking the primes first, Outlands, Inner Planes, Outer planes, or the Astral & Etheral?

Perhaps the Lady just goes "missing" on the day the Blood War ends (aka another portent of things to come). No one knows where she disappeared to or why.

So far, I like this suggestion the best. Just say that she is gone. Don't explain it. Nobody knows. The cool thing is that as a DM you don't have to know either. When you players speculate about what happened listen to them. If one of them comes up with a good idea just go with it.

Please don't think that because I started the thread I am the only person who can answer these questions. I'd like to have some guidance in where the thread goes but if I had all of the answers, I wouldn't have posted it for comments and ideas. I would've just jotted it down and ran it some day.

I'm heading to bed. I'll think about these questions and try to answer some of them in the morning.

If anyone with more Plane-savvy has ideas, answers or theories, by all means please post them.

Good night.
