Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crust" data-source="post: 4482761" data-attributes="member: 22330">Thanks for the feedback, Creeping Death.First, my group contains a number of exalted PCs (using feats and PrCs from The Book of Exalted Deeds).  They'd never side with devils in any way, would never do their bidding willingly, and would never parley with them.  I suspect it will be immediate battle as soon as any devils show themselves.I also don't plan on getting the PCs involved in the politics of the Nine Hells.  I want this experience to involve fire, screaming, images of torture and death, and alien creatures that have madness in their eyes and death on their minds.  The only other adventuring groups they'll find are ones impaled on pikes or blackened by fire (which I might have to work in).  No sight-seeing, no observances of the regular goings-on in Hell, no apparent resemblance to the Prime at all (conversations, exchanging of slaves or goods, peace in any measure, a safe place to rest, none of that).  Explosions, lava, vast piles of larvae, and the ever-present knowledge that they'll be dead quick if they don't move.I also don't plan on dragging this into other plot hooks.  They're not going to participate in the Blood War.  They won't do it willingly, and I don't plan on trying (or even succeeding) in compelling them magically.  They'll be epic level by the time I spring this on them, which is also why I can see hordes of devils attacking them, trying to subdue them for various diabolical purposes, taking their magical items, etc.  After all, they'll have a better chance against epic-level mortals than they did against a goddess of magic.  <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=";)" />In all honesty, if they take the bait and try to move through Hell on a quest for an already-doomed NPC, I'll do my best to end the campaign with this module.  I won't force a TPK by fiddling with the rules, but I won't pull punches at all (which I do very often).Great ideas and feedback.  Thanks!</blockquote>
