Personalities

Compendium - Sources->Dungeons & Dragons->Out of the Abyss

Personalities Although the NPCs the characters lead are ostensibly allies, many belong to different factions, and old grudges and differences in ethos aren’t easily set aside. Personality conflicts

might arise among the followers in the expanded party, and the adventurers would be well advised to head off potential trouble. For example, having Lords’ Alliance troops acting as scouts while keeping Zhentarim mercenaries close at hand will help keep those factions from fighting.

Locking the Cage Sigil’s portals operate at the Lady of Pain’s will, as do the few permanent teleportation circles hidden among the city’s wards. Her influence stops spells and other features from

Lady can cause all the city’s portals to cease functioning. This grinds the city to a halt; food and drink can’t enter the city, sewage and refuse pool in the streets, and corpses stack in the Mortuary with no hope of being interred. This compels the factions to quickly resolve their conflicts.

players wandering away from the table and back, but some players prefer planned breaks. Have snacks. Decide before a session who will bring food and drink. This is often something the players can handle.

distant Material Plane worlds. The Outlands contain the domains of several gods, such as the hidden tower of Annam the All-Father, creator of giants, and the gaseous realm of the beholder god Gzemnid. Devout worshipers, whether alive or dead, gravitate to their gods and carry out their will.
