So, given that the characters are in the Abyss at 3rd level, how do you think things will play out?

Easiest prep ever for D&D tonight. The PCs are in an Orcus shrine in the Abyss. They'll do something clever or we'll make new characters.

@__foxhound I'd say yes, for my purposes!

@WinghornPressHow do you even get into that situation? And how in the hells do you manage it at 3rd level? Hope you have spare sheets handy… campaign is very planar-themed, war between law and chaos, plus they in dungeons beneath a planar traveler's ruined tower

@BrandesStoddard @RDanskyDo you have new racial stats to hand them when they’re remade as intelligent, semi-free-willed undead? not yet!

Lessons learned so far this session: Don't sign infernal contracts. Don't look an atropal in the eye.

The PCs escaped the Abyss, but one did come back with a sharp case of paranoia. Or not – what if an undead proto-god does want to kill you?

@AsataniaGMDon’t undead proto-gods ALWAYS want to kill you? sometime they then animate you, other times they just eat your corpse

So, they escaped! They ran back through the planar anomaly that took them there.

But not before swiping a page from the Codex of Infinite Planes from the shrine and drawing the attention of an atropal.
