For my upcoming 10th level Heroic BBEG blow out adventure, I want to have some interesting and different terrains. The players have to go into the ruins of the Bael Turath capital city to stop the BBEG. The BBEG is the head cleric of a cult who worships the goddess of assassins (and the goddess is also secretly from the Far Realms). They have an alliance with the Shadar Kai(who in my homebrew are not followers of the Raven Queen), plus they also have some aberrant allies.
While poking around in the ruins, the BBEG inadvertently opened a room that she should not have, releasing several trapped Tieflings and their undead servitors and demonic allies. I want to try some 3-way battles between the players, the cultists, and the Tieflings, but I also want there to be some cool terrain pieces.
I have a couple ideas, but nothing is exciting me, so I am asking for advice on cool set pieces. The adventure will be in the ruins of Bael Turath’s capital, so it would not be beyond the realm of possibility for there to be wildly different terrain, from lakes of boiling brass, to floating islands of ice.
Thank-you.
Just replying to my post because it looks like the Forum Gods required a sacrifice and I was only able to find this in my profile under recent posts. The link in the profile goes to:
