Jul 02, 2009 7:59:09 I've inserted "Massacre at Fort Dolor" (Dungeon 157) into my campaign, but I want to tweak it to fit better.

Specifically, the adventure ends with the PCs closing a portal to one of the levels of Hell (Dis). I need some ideas for how I can change that portal without changing the monsters. (Chain Devil, succubi, spine devils). Just renaming it a gate to Khyber doesn;t feel quite right to me, and making it a gate to Ashtakala doesn't seem right either (but I could be convinced otherwise)

Suggestions?

You might need to adjust the NPC motivations behind opening the portal and you could also cause further developments by having the demonic or angelic factions of shavarath be involved.

I really should have thought of that. That will fit nicely, and I think that would also suit the goals of the silver Flame.

Is it reasonable that the Dragon lair that the portal is in, was actually guarding the portal to prevent its use?

I like that idea - and of course where there's dragons, there may be signs of the draconic prophecy.
