Hi all, possible spoilers ahead so don't read if playing Out of the Abyss.
So my question is how did you get your players to Velkynvelve?
I know the adventure suggests just starting there however I don't want to rail road my PC's. I aim to start them on a short adventure and them being 2nd level when they wake up. I have no issues overpowering them and putting them to sleep etc but I can't get my head around the logistics of transporting several unconscious PC's for several days. Likewise I don't want them to travel through the Underdark prior to their arrival.
I did have the idea of the semi conscious PC's after being captured by a surface drow raiding party being put through a portal to Velkynvelve and dropped into the webs before being collected by spiders and placed in the cell.
Has anyone else addressed the same issue? I would appreciate your thoughts.
