Chapter 15, Part 2: Concluding Echoes of Delusion
The epic finale.
The epic finale.
The characters have triumphed over Shemeshka and unlocked their true selves. Now they must halt Gargauth's ascension before he wreaks havoc across the Outlands and beyond.
This is it. The endgame. The power spike where the heroes shape the fate of the multiverse. It's one of the most compelling moments in the adventure—let's stick the landing.
The Spire is a great location to wrap up the Outlands scenarios. There’s a few things we can do to better integrate it into the adventure's plot and make it more evocative for the players.
Before launching into the final act of Turn of Fortune’s Wheel, the Outlands offer opportunities for your characters to witness the multiverse unravel before them. This is their time to explore.
Sylvania is a unique gate town. The scenario is interesting and hits a different note from the rest of the Outlands. It's also easy to work into the larger scheme.
All is not well in Rigus. The attacks coming through the portal to Acheron are escalating, and Rigus is in danger of tipping into Gargauth's control unless the characters can stop the conflict.
Saving Glorium from Gargauth's grasp will involve a tense race against time to unravel a fiendish plot before Glorium and Grakenok erupt into hostilities.
Glorium fits into our scheme in a wonderful way. The written scenario is a one-off excursion, so it's quite easy to adjust a few details and add onto the intrigue and tension in the gate town.
The Faunel excursion is an evocative location that feels the most plane-touched of the gate towns. It's an interesting mix of politics with a fun hunt for the bad guy. We can easily add some nuanced intrigue while tying it into our grand scheme.
The excursion to Excelsior is not the strongest scenario in the adventure book. With just a few adjustments we can smooth some of the rough edges and shape it into an evocative investigation.
The escapade in Curst with Valder and Fellik is one of the best out of all the Outlands scenarios. It's a great breakout scenario that packs an emotional punch. It also doesn't take much to tie it into the rest of the scheme we've developed.
