About the adventure
"The Underdark is a place of madness. And you are already too deep to turn back." You awaken in chains. The air is damp, the darkness suffocating. You are prisoners of the drow, trapped in the depths of the Underdark, an endless subterranean labyrinth filled with horrors beyond imagination. But something worse is stirring beneath the shadows. Demon Lords have been unleashed from the Abyss, spreading insanity, corruption, and chaos throughout the Underdark. Your goal? Escape. Survive. And perhaps… stop the coming apocalypse. What to Expect: ⚔️ Survival Horror in the Underdark – You are hunted, outnumbered, and trapped. Supplies are scarce, and trust is dangerous. 🕷️ Drow, Mind Flayers, and Worse – Face terrifying factions, monsters, and cults battling for power in the dark. 💀 A Descent into Madness – The influence of the Abyss is corrupting minds and reality itself. Can you resist the pull of insanity? 🎭 Intrigue & Faction Politics – Work with (or betray) the Underdark’s many factions: duergar, myconids, kuo-toa, and more. 🌑 The Demon Lords Have Risen – Demogorgon. Orcus. Graz’zt. They walk the Underdark, spreading their evil. 🛤️ A Harrowing Journey Home – If you escape, will you return as a hero… or as something else entirely? This is a dark, dangerous, and intense campaign that blends survival, horror, and high-stakes adventure. Every resource, every decision, and every alliance could mean the difference between freedom or madness.

About me

I'm looking forward to creating an immersive world for us to explore together, filled with adventure, challenges, and opportunities for creativity. My goal is to make sure everyone has fun, so please feel free to share any ideas or feedback as we embark on this journey!

Homebrew rules
1. Drinking a potion as a bonus action 2. The Last Stand: Players must communicate their intent to the GM and the mechanic is triggered at the start of a turn when a character is about to die but chooses to make a last stand. Upon choosing to make a last stand, the character is revived, recovering from all conditions and gaining benefits like advantage on attack and saving rolls, resistance to spell attacks, and 1 extra action for the turn (Spellcasters have the ability to cast multiple spells in that turn). The character regains all class features and spell slots. Additionally, the character's damage is doubled for the duration of their turn. However, the character ultimately dies at the end of their turn, irreversibly, with no possibility of revival except through a wish spell.
