D&D Armageddon - Blood Wars End, Sigil Falls to Seige

[Paka]

I'm going to try to jot down the Prestige Classes later this week after some much needed chores get done.

Could someone give me a rundown about the Shugoloths and let me know which books they're in?

And if anyone would send me a free copy of the Book of Vile Darkness, that'd be great! Infernal and Abyssal politicking is about to get thick and nasty.

"Planes of Conflict" and "Fiends: Faces of Evil" should be a good beginning.

To quote the summary in Faces of Evil about the Yugoloth:

Fear the baatezu: They are cold and cunning disciplinarians.
Fear the tanar'ri: They are brutal, bloodthirsty killers. But most of all, fear the yugoloths: They are masks of mystery, and no matter how many layers of skin you peel away, you will never know how many still lie between you and the true face.

I hope I the quote is Ok here


And yes, I like 'Loth

Thanks for the input.

Planes of Conflict, is that an old Planescape book?

Any idea who published Fiends: Faces of Evil?

Thanks again.

 

[Shemeska]

Yes, 'Planes of Conflict' and 'Faces of Evil:The Fiends' were both 2e Planescape books from TSR.

'Faces of Evil: The Fiends' is quite honestly one of the single best RPG books I've ever read, I give it that much of a bump. )

Consider this idea yoinked. And once I finish my midterms, expect some nice illustrations from yours truely. I've got an image in my head of a battered and beaten lady of pain that is so sacriligious it will just blow your mind if I can manage to pull it off properly.

The coolest things about this would be just the scope of the alliance. Think of it. Illithid and Gith, Elf and Drow, Orc and anyone, Chromatic and mettalic, Paladin's fighting along side undead horrors, the gods of darkness united with the gods of light. All to defeat the indominable forces of the Fiends. God damn I'm doing some art for this. Congratulations. You've just created a new project for me. And though I know we've all thought of something similar at one point or another I just really like the order you have everything in.

I'm curious as to where the Yuguoloths fall into the scheme of things. Would they be slaughtered by their bretheren for their efforts of constantly playing one off the other? Or would they side with the demons and Devils, knowing that once the multiverse is won they will revert to their old ways allowing for the 'loths to continue pretty well as per normal? Or maybe both in an attempt to manipulate both sides into a state of utter annilalation leaving them the soul survivors and inheritors of the multiverse. Hot damn this would make an AWESOME trilogy. Or sextet, or campaign SETTING. D&D ARRMAGEDDON. It's got potential.

Wow. The idea of the Blood War ending and the Demons and Devils working together to take over the Planes is an idea I had, so I think it's very cool. It was actually part of my campaign setting that I sent to Wizards during the setting search. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Somehow I just can't imagine Azmodeus and Demogorgon being brothers in arms.

Well maybe they just decided the old adage, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And let's face it, they SO dislike those pansy celestials coming around to kick down their toys.

I was explaining this plot to my group this past Sunday and one of them (the other DM) thought it was a finished module and was all bummed out that I had found it first. After letting him squirm a bit I told him the down & dirty of it.
They all thought this storyline was very intriguing.

Not that you need any further encouragement, but I think you've stumbled on something here that is loaded with truly epic potential.

I loved PC's response when you first posted this plot:

That's horrific! Tell me you've done it.

Good Luck

I'm not sure all of those folk would team together right away. The Drow might very well fall in with the fiendish forces due to their ties with Lloth, as might the chromatics with their ties to Tiamat.

Gith and Illithid might call a momentary armistice but maybe not. Maybe one of the PC's jobs will be to broker a piece between these two ancient enemies. A diplomatic mission to the Liche Queen to beg her to call of her hoardes would be nifty. But what about the Liche Queen's tie to Red Dragons? Would they ask her to go with Tiamat and the Fiendish forces? Interesting and complicated planar political stuff. Neat.

I'd love to see any art you do. Awesome! Thanks.

In my vision of this mess, the Yuguoloths are still with the Fiends. As matter of fact, I think the final pact of peace was signed in Gehena, within the Crawling City. I'll write more about that later.

Thanks for the support, folks. Glad the idea grabbed ya.

This idea not only grabbed me, it grabbed and twisted.

This IS the next campaign I'm running, although with a few changes(among them that it's starting at level 1 and starts as a normal Mercenary Company campaign, as well as others).
