[QUOTE="weedenbc, post: 8229190, member: 7026360"] Currently prepping the second arc of my ROT campaign, which will end with Xonthal's Tower. Before they get to Xonthal's Tower, my party will have already had more than their share of experiences with various types of elementals as part of the [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/enhancing-rise-of-tiamat-practical-stuff-to-try-at-your-table.394129/post-7614627']Elementum Divinantor[/URL] episode I'm adding to the beginning of this arc (along with [URL='https://www.dmsguild.com/product/172527/Frozen-Castle--Expanding-Tyranny-of-Dragons']Frozen Castle[/URL]). So I'm planning on replacing the elementals in the dungeon of Xonthal's tower with demons and the backstory is that Xonthal was experimenting with summoning and controlling demons before he stumbled across a horrible secret.
