I'm in need of help with what might happen next in my campaign. Here's what's happened so far (I'll try to summarize):
A meteor has fallen from the skies, it was actually from Avernus, opening a temporary portal to Hell. 2 "sister" succubus came out from the portal with the mission to deliver the book of vile darkness to the BBEG. Where was the book? Inside the meteor. Also, inside the meteor crater a Gulthias tree appeared, threatening the whole village around it. Players handled that already but the deliver has been made succesfully. The two succubus made their jobs and will not bother the PCs anymore, only if they get in the way
The book was sent from Zariel to the BBEG. Zariel wants him to build an artifact capable of holding innumerable souls in which she will use in the blood was as a nuke. A powerful Narzugonl will be in charge of harvesting the souls on the material plane. Whoever he kills, goes directly to hell, to the artifact called Purgatory (which was not manufactured yet)
What can happen in between? I was thinking about bringing up some demons from abyss to cause some chaos, as if they "heard the news" somehow of what Zariel is planning.
Basically everyone but devils would have an issue with that plan. So you can certainly send devils or even celestials into the fray. Devils are also prone to back stabbing its also possible another devil will attempt to take over the mission or even sabotage it to get ahead. Those all work thematically
This sounds like a pretty high level affair. In any case, I like to get personal with the PCs. Have the home town of one of the PCs get raided for souls. Imagine the PCs heading back home for some R&R only to find it in ruins, nothing but smoldering sulfurous ash left behind. Assuming the PCs have any connection to the world around them this will really light a fire under their buts to put a stop to all this.
Happy Gaming
