Into the Abyss

Well the group has managed to sail their ship onto the Abyssal Ocean using an item called a wakeportal to gate from the Azure Sea to the Abyss. Now they have to find their way to the Gaping Maw, currently the location of their patron Lavinia. Their main problem is no way to tell were they are. There are no land masses and the brownish purple water seems to blend with the reddish overcast sky, and there appears to be no sun. Now the group has to decide which way to sail.

Now the fun begins for me, they are now in the Abyss, home to so many demons that if all of them were aware of the group they wouldn't stand a chance. Thankfully no one knows they are there yet, and they do not want to attract the attention of the Prince of Demons.

Heading to the Abyss

Well the group has finally finished off Chapter 8 of 12 with just a little mopping up of the pirates lair and now they have to load up the treasure and prepare to find and rescue their patron Lavinia. Unfortunately they hare going to have to travel to the Gaping Maw, the 82nd layer of the Abyss to find her. They will have their work cut out for them as this is prime demon territory and any they come across will attack them on site. The group is now mostly 15th level and is a little lower than recommended but there is also more PC's in the group. So I think it balances out in the end.

I have liked that the group is taking the time to cast lots of spells before they get into combat but they will have difficulty once they are off the Prime Material Plane. I will be curious to see what they do to prepare for their journey to come.

Fighting the Crimson Fleet

Well the group has spent the last six sessions attacking the lair of the Crimson Fleet that was a stack of ships stuck on a massive dead tree. The fighting was brutal and some of the group came close to death but timely spell casting from the healers managed to keep the group alive. The final encounter was the demonic leader of the fleet who decimated the group before they finally ganged up on him and killed him off. Now they have to continue on without resting as they don't know when another pirate ship will return. The next few sessions will be interesting as they quickly explore the remains of the ships.
