[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 5019792, member: 17106"] I see an opportunity for a fairly spectacular scene. A ubiquitous question in D&D is "why isn't (powerful NPC X) doing this?". I would think an influx of evil spirits would attract the powerful creatures of the campaign world and a fairly spectacular battle/war could ensue. Before the dragons/deities/etc. arrive, I would think that CR 4-6 creatures with DR would lay waste to any human town, and even 1,000 of them could severely damage or destroy even a mid-size city. This kind of carnage lays the ground for interesting undead-related plots; perhaps an entire town is raised as an undead mob or shrieking terror (MMIII I think). The massive influx of souls to the outer planes could impact divine politics. Of course, all of this depends on how the campaign world is structured and on how far you're willing to go (sounds like far). What happens when the PCs don't avert the big evil thing is an interesting start for essentially a new campaign. [/QUOTE]
