The basic premise is that a celestial was imprisoned on the Material Plane that the PC's were on, after she fell from grace, as a punishment, to give her time to 'think about her crimes.' The PC's released her, and under her command took her back to Elysium to try to get her cast out of the heirarchy...she was still a celestial, so she couldn't become a fiend yet, but in her heart and soul and mind she was completely fiendish. Well, the Council of Angels that met didn't want to cast her out -- they still saw the potential for redemption in her. In the form of the PC's, specifically.So now Out Heroes must lead her back to the seven others that fell with her, uncovering a bit of her grievous sin along the way. The Seven others, of course, each fell to one of the Seven Deadly Sins.To go in order, I'm following Dante's Purgatorio,, but going in reverse. So they started in Eden (Elysium), are now going to the terrace of Lust (which goes with the punishment of the Lusty: being whipped around by icy winds), and next will go to Gluttony (which goes with the punishment of the Gluttonous, being immersed and devouring their own excriment). Eventually, ALL DONE! and then I have to think of what the original celestial did that was so horrid...<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=":)" />This serves as a segue between classic D&D and my next campaign setting, which is heavily influenced by the legends of monotheism...so Dante's fiends exist in servitude to Milton's Satan, circles are drawn by Kabbalists, and Buraqs shuttle people from city to city. I'm really lookin' forward to that bad boy...<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=":)" /></blockquote>
