[QUOTE="Clueless, post: 1289679, member: 11802"] Hell. Lawful Evil. Ok - the following ideas 1) The pop into some place randomly, say a portal in a pit lord's personal abode. Now it wouldn't be *lawful* nessecarily to just kill these folks where they stand - but accusing them as spies, intruders and calling the Ba'atazu cops on them? Now that could stand to some goodness. Esp if the party happened to stumble in at *just* the wrong time for some particularly evil intrigue. Imagine playing good cop/bad cop with a couple of devils. (They *are* lawful, so it *does* make sense to have police enforcement.) 2) Ancient Ba'atorians. Have them run across a risen Neppero (sp?), and have to deal with why the devils are so *scared* of this thing and trying to kill it. Leave the lingering question of 'is this thing a good thing that they would want it Dead with a vengence?' 3) Erines (sp?) in disguise, "Help me brave strangers!... aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" This is all assuming Ba'ator, not like Gehenna or the Abyss of course. ;) Nice imagery: (Graphic warning Advised!) The Flaying Chamber A deep bowl shaped depression in the center of a decadant and utterly decimated city. The center of this bowl has a tower (which you must get to of course). However the way To this tower is over a patchwork of oddly shaped squares - 6ft by 4ft - of leather. Well... yeah, that would be skin. Forcing the players to walk/crawl over this patchwork, as they feel at times the desperate beating of *something* on the other side as their weight depresses it. At no time do they hear a scream, just a muted whimper on the other side if they put their ear to it. If there's holes in the patchwork they may catch the glimmer of movement underneath, looking under - theres bodies still attached to the skins that are being stretched wide, living bodies some of them as the skin is ripped from their form by gravity. There are no *visible* devils at the surface, just this blackness below where something might be well.. bathing in the dripping gore. [/QUOTE]
