She says this is a gift to her brother after he won his freedom fighting in the arena in the main city of the land (for this city i am thinking a waterdeep style city).The adventures go to the cave and solve a few puzzles to get to the main chamber.  Here there is 4 arches (1 to the left as you enter, 2 in front, and 1 to the right).  The sorceress emerges and tells the party that she was searching for the great evil that used to rule this land and the spell she used gave her our 4 PCs.  She new they would lead her there.  She then reveals that she is actually a necromancer and begins summoning hordes of undead.  Just wen the PCs are about to win the arch behind her begins to glow and giant black hand comes out of the portal and pulls her in.  She then emerges changed (think Lillian Vess) with a deathknight that can easily TPK everyone. Just then her brother saves the day and helps defeat the deathknight in the process but is mortally wounded from the battle.  The necromancer retreats to the dark portal.  Then the lightning god shows up.  Tells the adventurers that the death god is regaining his strength and plans to return.  Then need to go to the other planes (were each god was banished) and gather help.  He takes the pit fighter as he leaves and tells them to go activate the portal and they will find the next "key" in the main city.  The party goes back to the magic shop, ransacks the place (grabs the orb) and heads back to the portal.That is about as far as i have gotten.  I would like everyones opinions on what i could possible do next.My thoughts-Orbs are keys that open up portals to different planesdeath god world will be like the underdarkSea god world will be a vast ocean and potentially be underwater world (gave them a foldable boat to plan for this)earth god world is ......  I have no clue.last orb to get is underdark Go to the city and fight in the pit to get the next orb?? or some other wayThanks for the help and feedback everyone!!!</blockquote>
