Premade Campaign 27: Into the Throat (2/3)
Into the Throat is intended for Paragon level characters and is Part Two in a Three Part series.
The party was forced into a portal for unknown reasons as part of a cease-fire with the demonic realm, and they awaken in a somewhat strange enviornment. While they were probobly expecting something more hell-like, the actual area they are in is somewhat placid in comparison. While not a proper location for a summer getaway, they find themselves in a large, open field of scorched earth. There aren’t any hellfired, demons, or beasts in sight, and the only sign of danger is from the distance as there are large clouds of smoke rising into the sky. They do not feel hungry or thirsty, and the party can regain any daily abilities with only a one hour rest. They also all benefit from regeneration 5, and regain several hitpoints every round of battle. In a way, it almost feels like paradise despite the macabre setting.
There is a reason for this blissful feeling, however, and the party soon hears blood curdling screams in the distance.
The plane that the party was teleported to is the Plane of Torture, which slowly heals its captives. There, the party has been dumped haphazardly into a hunting area, where demons and devils hunt them for fun. Once escaped, they find their way into one of the many cities in the area, where they must hide or fear capture. There are a few people in the city who will help aid them in escaping, but many of them will attempt to double-cross them.
One specific demon will tell them that if they break a friend out of a local prison they will help them out of the plane, and this dungeon should be the end of the campaign. Upon completion it should be revealed to them that their time in this plane, though it may have felt like long, was only minutes on the Material Plane. They are sent back through the portal, to the confused glares of those who shoved them into it, wondering why they were chosen in the first place.
Check back tomorrow for the Epic continuation of this Premade campaign.
