Coming Monday: S1. The Swarm

Will the party approach the Giant Scorpions and Spiders by foot? Or will they take the chance with Ekengarik's Ayperobo Swarm in the air?

Location Highlight: The Sign of the Hag's Arms

"Another landmark utilizing Malagard’s remains in its construction is the Sign of the Hag’s Arms. This multi-leveled structure rises out from the ground near a place where many tunnels and thoroughfares cross paths. One of the hag’s dismembered arms serves as a gruesome marker for this location, which Koh Tam deems the most likely to house what the characters seek." -CoA pg. 138

Bonus Post: The Demonwing

The Demonwing is from the 2e Adventure, A Paladin in Hell. I personally plan to merge the mission in the hells with CoA. Here is the ship in all its glory. Use it however you'd like!

"Demonwing is more than just a sailing ship-an obvious statement considering that it can sail between planes of existence. The secret of the craft is that it is actually an entire layer of the Abyss all by itself. The outer form of the ship gives the layer a unique sort of independent mobility, but that doe...

Coming Monday: Random Encounters in Malbolge

"Infinite mountain slopes and falling boulders make up Malbolge, the sixth layer of the Nine Hells. It was once ruled by Malagard, the Hag Countess, who has since been replaced by Asmodeus’s daughter Glasya. Prior to her rule, the layer was almost entirely stone, with very little distinguishing features. However, due to a curse placed upon Malagard, her body grew to a grotesque size and imploded when Glasya took over. Now Malbolge is decorated with pieces of her corpse, a marriage between a...

Lord of the Nine Highlight: Glasia

Arriving in Malbolge brings a whole new set of unforeseen circumstances. An encounter with Glasia, the Dark Prodigy, leaves you either loving her or loathing her. But don't look away... Asmodeus' Daughter, the Princess of the Nine Hells will be quick to dial in with her Mesmerizing Gaze and her Deathly Exlamation.

Coming Monday: C8. Gjiaaki

"And the waters? Nobody has ever returned from the waters. The kuo-toa Congregation’s greatest deity, Gjaaki, resides there, a being of utter negation, an anti-creator. They say that all things that it becomes aware of cease to be and fade from the memory of the universe."

Coming Monday: C7. The Awful Fisher

"The ceiling offers the most mundane of fates. It has one inhabitant, that has scavenged from the Keeper’s leavings since time immemorial. It is known to the kuo-toa as the Awful Fisher."

What are suggested tips you found helpful for running an encounter with the Awful Fisher?

Conclave Weapon Highlight: The Rod of Resurrection

It is here in the depths of Stygia where the rod of resurrection has drifted to the bottom of the chasm... discovered by some lowly creature... Who ate the rod. The Awful Fisher awaits the party on their descent from above, once the Fisher reaches below 100hp, the rod activates. Any nearby cleric feels a rush of divine power emanating from within the Monstrosity when this occurs.

The cleric better retrieve it after defeating the Fisher, but before it gets encased in ice!

Side Project Request

Hey Fiends,

I’m wanting to begin the process of writing a supplement adventure for the travel through the hells and making it available to patrons.

Is there a location in the Nine you would love to see an adventure played out?

Comment and like what you would love to see!

Coming Monday: C6. The Keeper of Found Things

"What is the Keeper of Found Things? Not a devil, certainly. Something ancient that has dwelled in the Chasm and tended its collection for longer than infernal records have been kept. A thing of the shadows that even the keenest eyes can never quite make out in detail or gain a complete picture of. Rambling accounts speak of too many arms, long-fingered hands, a twisted wedge of a head with a vertical mouth bristling with needle teeth. And a voice. A quiet, reasonable (so very reasonable) voi...

Monster Highlight: Iron Golem (Cold Immunity)

Those who linger too long at the bottom of the Chasm to raid its treasures that have swept down with the meltwater reach out into the ice... sometimes, the ice reaches back...

C5. The Aboleth WEBP

Coming Monday: C5. The Aboleth

It's getting colder... and colder... and colder down here...

Monster Highlight: Aboleth

Psychinc Drain is a mean one! 

"Aboleths were fish-like amphibians of immense size, often reaching 20 feet (6.1 meters) in length and weighing up to 6,500 pounds (2,900 kilograms),[10][9] though they continued to grow as they aged and some fanta...

C4. The Angel of Ice PNG

Coming Monday: C4. The Angel of Ice

The Angel of Ice diagrams his plans and secrets of the movements and future of the planes on the walls of the chasm. He will build a gateway to the higher planes. Frozen in the wall, the Holy Avenger remains, and perhaps even a lost soul.

What stands in the way of the party and The Angel of Ice? The congregation of Kuo-Toa are ready to persecute any heretic it faces...
