Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 4549180" data-attributes="member: 63">After watching Big Trouble in Little China last night, I think I'm going to heavily revise this to give it more cult classic fun. Now sure, I won't have a way to guarantee the players will include someone as awesomely clueless as Jack Burton, but I really like the plot.I'm thinking I'll start with the group looking for some magical treasure to be given as a wedding present for the future wife of one of the PCs. They end up getting ambushed by a lich who disables them by wrenching out part of their souls, then abducting the PC's fiancee and taking the magical treasure.The PCs recover and chase after the lich into the underdark, and they catch up with a group of Orcus cultists who are retrieving a dragon skull from a dragon burial ground. A huge mess of drow show up, but during the fight a trio of bad-ass villains appear, identities to be determined. (They need an overarching theme.)These villains aid the cultists, and are too strong to defeat, but the drow help the PCs get away and seal the tunnel. Then they explain that they are followers of Kiaransalee, trying to get to Thanatos to aid the defense of their goddess, because the cultists of Orcus are trying to raise him from the dead. They have to find the temple on the River Styx where it flows through the Underdark. There will be a boat that can take them to the Abyssal level where the goddess of vengeance rules.Hopefully the drow and the PCs will team up to sneak into the Temple on the Styx, where there will be tons of prisoners they can rescue, but not the PC's fiancee. They need to kill a lot of undead and cultists, retrieve the stolen pieces of their souls, then hop onto the evil cult's boat before it passes through the portal to the Abyss.That'll be the end of session one.</blockquote>
