5e Adventure Path: Out of the Abyss

Deep beneath the surface of the world lies the Underdark, a realm of endless labyrinthine tunnels and caverns where the sun never shines. The Underdark is filled with races and creatures too numerous to count or list, and foremost among these are the dark elves - the drow.

Hated and feared even by their fellow dwellers in the darkness, the drow raid other settlements in the Underdark as well as the surface world, taking prisoners back with them. Rendered unconscious with drow poison, then collared and shackled, these prisoners are eventually sold as slaves or entertainment in the dark elves' subterranean cities.

The adventurers have all had the misfortune of falling to such a fate. Captured by the drow, they are prisoners at one of the dark elves' outpost, awaiting transportation to Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders. Whether they came into the Underdark seeking knowledge or fortune, or were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, they were ripe prey for a drow raid.

So who wants to embark in this AP. It goes from 1st to 15th level. We'll follow standard character creation rules, except for money and equipment as your only possession will be ragged clothes. Obviously, no drow character is allowed. I'm still looking for a good sheet to share with the players.

Every published official book is allowed. No homebrew.

I need four to five players. If there's not enough interest here, I'll recruit offsite.

You should recruit offsite as well, bring in new blood here! Get a mix of local and new folk.

Put me down as a strong maybe.

What's a strong maybe? Are you more inclined to play? Or the opposite?

Post by **TetNak** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 4:55 pm

Ha. Inclined to play.

Good! I might bring two or three people from offsite, so I need at least two Yes from our members.

Interesting. I haven't played in The Underdark in forever (probably since early 90s) on 2e THAC0 system

I know nothing about 5e, so do you have any links to read up on it? Is it like 4e? or did they change a bunch of it again? Is there a 5e SRD?

They have released a free PDF of the basic rules. Check it out. 5e is like 3.5 with a few good stuff from 4e and PF. No SRD that I know of.
