Alright, so my party consists of a Warforged fighter, (his AI for all intents and purposes is possessed.) The character and his AI are both evil alignment.
A changeling sword mage. (He's kinda dinky, only really useful for political situations and stealth.
And a human sorcerer. He acts as the artillery in the team. Casting area affect spells and boosting the effectiveness of his party members.
So, for my campaign, I am wanting to stick to a carnival of chaos theme; drawing from the ICP joker cards for some of my major characters.
Branching off from there because I think our sorcerer is catching on to my theme, I've decided that I want to put my party through a gauntlet challenge. The story line is easy enough, the warforged is trying to rebuild his race and redeem himself, and "suddenly" the only schematics he needs to help him rebuild are stashed away in a monk temple.
He gets there and finds that all of the monks have gone insane. The back story behind that is that the monks virtued silence above all else. So they cast a spell on the area of total inner silence. This spell silenced the voices in their heads. They could literally no longer hear themselves think. This inability to hear themselves think drove them to insanity, killing each other until very few remained. The few left try to cause as much noise as possible to fill the void left within their own minds.
When the party arrives here, they will be forced to fight their way through the temple and eventually reach a great doorway. The doorway will read, "The vault lays at the end of life."
With an Arcana check of 16, the sorcerer will be able to read a magical inscription under the first one which reads, "All of life exists in seven parts."
The seven stages that the guantlet will exist in are:
-Desire
-Despair
-Destiny
-Dreams
-Death
-Delirium
-Destruction
Right now, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to have the seven parts be represented.
Desire will be easy. I'll have an illusion showing what the characters want most, and lay traps all around it.
Despair should be easy enough. Show the characters things that they will hate. Make them feel guilty for horrible things.
Destiny could be interesting. I'm thinking I could have a gate keeper who simply asks them what they would do if they could achieve their goals. (then twist it back on them. No one with power is pure of heart.)
I have no idea for Dream.
I have no idea for Death.
I have no idea for Delirium.
I have no idea for Destruction. -
I don't know what delirium is. I have a idea for death.
show flashs of themselves dying, then make it as where they are feeling those flashs and then after it all, they are fine and it was just a dream. I don't know, im just suggesting. -
I'm thinking that for death make them fight themselves. They have to kill themselves to progress. Watching themselves die at their own feet.

that's better than what I have. :3
