Campaign Idea Help!!!


Advice


So i have this idea for a campaign in which each player actively represents each of the four elements (wind, water, fire, earth). So they start off e"nding" their last quest. They r in a dungeon and attemping to find the room that opens a lockes door. They run into some genies that have been more or less banished from their respective planes and are trying to find a genie in a lamp amongst all this treasure. They cooperate and open the door and theres the treasure.

Thats all i have as of now but im thinking that theybwill find a genie who transports them all to the different planes. So the party helps drop them off but im not entirely sure what to do after that? There needs to be combat and im thinking that they will do some sort of proving to the natives that they deserve to go back. This wilk be combat. But what else? I would love to hear suggestions!


i just need enough material to cover 5 hours of gameplay


On each plane, have them help defend the genie until the genie is in a safe area.

When they get back, toss them up against a wizard group wanting to harness them as part of a plot to gain immortality.

if they go to the elemental planes, they're going to have a bad time.

Make a perfect female specimen to represent the 5th element. She escapes; only by finding her can the other four genies be free. She is a terrific warrior but naïve, innocent. This innocence must be preserved at all costs.

The PCs are drawn to a number of different locales representing the 4 elements

1. water: a cryo chamber where the female is regenerated

2. earth: a pyramid in the desert

3. air: a vertical chase through thick, flying traffic

4. fire: a shootout with lasers and explosions

It all culminates in a riddle: Rain falls, Wind blows...fire burns... Make sure that the 5th element is mortally wounded at the end; also ensure that one of the PCs has a crush on her but won't tell her.

Bonus points for the following phrases:

- Negative; I am a MEAT POPSICLE

- Multipass

- Big Bada Boom

- Green or Super Green

- Smoke You!

- BZZZ!

- Floston Paradise

- It was an AMBUSH (usable only when a superior force is beaten by a smaller one)

- I am the supreme being... 5th element... you; no trouble. I PROTECT you.

Also bonus points for including the following character names

- Leeloo
- Korben Dallas
- Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg
- Father Vito Cornelius
- Ruby Rhod
- Diva Plavalaguna

Finally fight scenes should be carefully choreographed to classical music and everyone except for the main characters should look like a super model.

What if the planes were overflowing into each other. Fire and water merging to form steam elementals, water and earth making unnatural mud elementals. That sort of thing - possibly due to the actions of an evil summoner with a palace in extra dimensional space. Each planar lord offers the PCs an infusion/ring/amulet/etc that makes them an elemental avatar to represent their plane in a battle to vanquish the emerging lords of these new habitats and the summoner behind the madness. Maybe the reward is a wish, a bloodline power, and/or a fortress in extra dimensional space. This idea affords the GM and players a chance to fight exotic creatures in unique environs.
