[QUOTE="Anabstercorian, post: 363667, member: 2550"] The phallic door handles is a good idea, but expect players to kick down doors out of spite. Respond to this by having the area guarded by fiends who will hear the sound. Certain areas of the palace have a magical field around them - Casters attempting to use teleportation magic in such areas must succeed at a caster level check or automatically be shunted amongst the writhing orgiastic hordes. Of course, you can always teleport back after you drop a couple fireballs to clear your path, but it's still gonna be a pain. Amorous, non-evil fiendish ghouls and undead covered with poisonous molds that attempt to get 'close' to the characters. Check out the last few pages of the Unlawful Carnal Knowledge thread. There are some excellent spells in there that could make an epic level parties life extremely unpleasant. Make an arena like room trapped with the magical field of redirection, and have it start to flood with minor fiends and outsiders who are, for some reason, intensely sexually obsessed with the PC's. The sheer panic and disgust your players will experience as they try and smash through one of the walls to get away will easily be worth the grumpy looks. Illusions of old lovers of the characters flit through the halls, laughing at them, beckoning. When the characters follow, they lead them in to extremely subtle traps - Nothing explodes, nothing blasts them. Things like carbon monoxide or lead-sealed rooms with adamantine doors. The illusions themselves are completely sincere - They never betray the characters, but are used as tools against them. Don't forget some good old fashioned ass kicking! If everything wants to have sex with the characters, eventually they're going to be very disturbed. Throw some plain ol' angry Balor's at them. If you need to be 'lovey' about it, have them interrupt a Balor and Marilith engaged in a passionate tryst with each other and Succubi companions, who all take a brief break to snack on the characters bone marrow. An appropriately epic challenge, especially if the furniture is animated (for her pleasure) and also attacks when the characters least expect it. [/QUOTE]
