Rage of Demons: Out of the Abyss [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
Deep beneath the surface of the world lies the Underdark, a realm of endless labyrinthine tunnels and caverns where the sun never shines. The Underdark is filled with races and creatures too numerous to count or list, and foremost among these are the dark elves - the drow. Hated and feared even by their fellow dwellers in darkness, the drow raid other settlements in the Underdark as well as the surface world, taking prisoners back with them. Rendered unconscious with drow poison, then collared and shackled, these prisoners are eventually sold as slaves or entertainment in the dark elves' subterranean cities.
You have all had the misfortune of falling to such a fate. Captured by the drow, you are prisoners at one of the dark elves' outposts, awaiting transportation to Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders. Whether they came into the Underdark seeking knowledge or fortune, or were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, they were ripe prey for a drow raid. The setup of Out of the Abyss is such that you need have no connections with events in the Underdark or with each other prior to the start of the adventure. You can meet and get to know each other as prisoncrs of the drow. Players who would like their characters to have a stronger Underdark connection can choose from the background options in the character building thread.
Additional/optional rules:
- grid map
- diagonals (every second diagonal costs 10ft)
- DMG actions (overrun, tumble, disarm, climb onto a bigger creature etc.)
- multiclassing, feats, human variant
- initiative speed factor (roll every round) - favours light weapons and small characters
- lingering injuries
Any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know.
Additionally:
- I expect all players to post around once/day. If you go missing for 48h or so I'll DMPC your character temporarily, typically only using a basic action to benefit you or the party.
- inspiration can be earned for compelling roleplaying and playing well to your character
- a player may award their inspiration to another as a reward
- you can have only one inspiration point at a time. Use it to gain advantage on a roll.
- the campaign runs through levels 1-15
- the setting is Forgotten Realms, Underdark (near the Sword Coast)
