Message: <blockquote data-quote="Orcus" data-source="post: 1249863" data-attributes="member: 1254">Dont forget this dungeon--particularly the lowest levels--was created by Orcus himself or by extremely high level creatures on his behalf with access to wish/miracle type magic. Plus, there is Orcus' divine (well, demonic anyway <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> will. Orcus certainly wouldnt want kick ass high level guys just popping onto his doorstep. I have always run the lowest levels that due to his evil god powers teleportation on the lowest levels is impossible except between connected open spaces (like d-dooring, for example). Dont overuse the "evil god power" thing or characters start to feel you are "cheating", though you arent.You also need to disabuse your PCs of the notion that the only power you have at your disposal are the same powers they have at theirs. That is rediculous. You arent bound by effects detailed in the PHB. You have, as the DM, the epic magic powers of evil demonic entities--stuff the PCs can never match and should never have any expectation of matching (and I dont mean epic magic as in Epci Levle Handbook, I mean "this dude is a freaking god and there is just magic that you dont have access to"). I have heard of players saying "hey, there is no spell in the PHB taht lets you do that." If that is your type of player, you are screwed. Just remember, this is the entrance lair to a demon-god's abode. He has used all his powers to protect himself.As for burrowing, what abilities are they using to do that? Sounds like that would attract a horde of purple worms to me. Let them deal with that.Clark</blockquote>
