Still working out the kinds, but it will of course involve some lava pools to fall in.Aside from that, I really want to trip to the dragon's lair to emphasize the lethality of the Elemental Chaos, the brutality and chaos that comes along with the elements, so in order to do that, I am planning a skill challenge to let them navigate the terrain, avoiding the many natural hazards there will be. Including, but not limited to earthquakes, lava geysers, fire storms. Come to think of it, I might not run it as a skill challenge, but instead as a series of hazards/traps to be avoided/beaten. All this could arguably be more epic, but right now, I am focusing most of my attention on the future. Once they are able to cast the ritual, they will enter the mind of a god and relives his memories while they search them to find the divine source. The plan is to have 3 different types of memories. 1) Just information-memory: The players will be told what they see, with no way of interacting. They will basically be there to learn something.2) We are Kord-memory: In this type of memory, the players will "play" the part of Kord or rather, they will be Kord, reliving his memory. Of course, when it gets to combat, the end result of the memory might be different, if they lose the fight.3) Discovery-memory: This starts out as either other type of memory, but the subconsciousness detects them and tries to expel them, personified by Maruts and/or Angels attacking the players' characters.I am still considering how to abort a memory, and what consequences. I am also thinking about how much the ritual caster can decide when navigating the memories. I can't just give a list of all memories, since that would mean that they would go straight for the one including the divine source. Perhaps it has to be an unlocking game, where access to certain memories is only achieved after experiencing certain other memories.On a side note, I really hope the Kord article slated for January comes on time and has lot of goodies <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
