A deva aboard continually reincarnates...The chapter suggests two campaign arcs, one for paragon and one for epic tier. A sidebar notes that the Abyss is not a good place for heroic characters, even though they might sometimes stumble into it (or more likely into something coming from it), it's not a place to stay and explore for long...There are some skill challenge suggestions. o Abyssal Madness is about not going insane while staying in the abyss. Whenever you fail a check as part of the challenge, you suffer an insanity effect. Failing the challenge means they stay, everyone gets an extra insanity and a remove affliction ritual is required. Doesn't sound so bad, insanities are fun, right? <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=";)" /> Well, you sure will like "Paranoid Delusions", turning you into an non-ally for everyone or Melancholy that takes away one of your actions... <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=";)" />o Destroying A Demongate. Well, self explanatory. Failure or Success, it will hurt the party.o Escaping the Demon Horde. When there are just too many of them. If you fail, you face a tough encounter and have to try again.o Navigating the Demoweb. Don't get lost.Abyssal Locations[sblock]o Mal Arundak, Bastion of Confusion. Something is imprisoned here. It is believed to be Tharizdan, at least that's what the gods told the angels guarding it. o Molor, the Stinking Realm. Jubilex,patron of slimes and oozes, rules this place. It's not his domain, but if he does't take care with Zuggtomy, it might become it.o The Plains of Rust. A place that used to be a stronghold for Devils thanks to 3 portals leading to Hell, but was wrecked by Orcus and Jubilex. o The Spire of Rajzak. Razjak is a gargantuan creature, terribly bestial but as powerful as a demon lord. It is said that was he was before Gra'zt destroyed his soul and mind. [/sblock]</blockquote>
