My party has 6 level 6 drow in it.  They are all good aligned males who escaped to the surface when thier house was destroyed.  Right now they are on island and beneath the island in the underdark is a seed that that keeps the island floating on the surface.  The just vanquished a cult of vecna on behalf of Earthis and this has irriatated him a little but he would be much more put out if Lolth's plan to sink island succeded.  Hitting two birds with one stone, Vecna told the PCs about Lolth's ritual at the island seed and transported them there.  The PCs stopped the ritual and killed all the drow present at the seed and then were highly surprized when Vecna did not bring them back to the surface.  They are starting in a chamber with six exits and will need to find thier way back to the surface.  I could use some help with obsticals that party has to overcome to get back to the surface.  The system I am using for this skill challenge can be found here

As for resting I am using modifed system.  Cut surges to 1/3, grant a milestone every combat, short rests recover encouters and all surges plus allowing surges to spent to heal, limit of one short rest between encounters, extended rest grant nothing but reset milestones and count as and encounter, dailies recover every 3rd enconter (used in first recovers at begining of 4th)

Using this system a combat is much more serious result of failure and would rather do HP damage instead of surge damage for failing and obstical.


I can see granting an extended rest as reward for doing well on an obstical and I will not let them hole for several days to recover while they are in the underdark.  Sorry I am if I babbeled

My ideas for this so far are consist of a deep casam and a mycoind colony.  I need more the that to make this whole thing work though.  Please help

what about a river of magma that the pc must cross.  maybe they must climb out of a volcano to get to the surface

thanks I love the idea of volcanos being the only way out.
