Lair Suggestion: Cult Lair

[Necro]

I think there needs to be an opportunity for a real demon cult that operates outside the main city and terrorizes people should have a base that is themed to their demonic or infernal influence.


The lair comes in two types, Infernal, And Abyssal, when given the lair, the lair master has the option to create either of the lairs, but is trusted to use the one appropriate to their theme.


Infernal Lair:


Tier 1: Dark red lighting, stone interior, infernals shrine in the center (where you feed resources), a few flames burn in the corners of the rooms, there is a resting place, and a small storage, as well as a red colored purple crystal.


Tier 2: Kyton gaurdians protect the lair, it has expanded to accommodate more of the willing disciples, slightly larger storage, bigger resting area appearance, NPC that can provide statistic buffs, as well as a unique negative flame weapon. Occult Relics chest appears, which spawns a random infernal themed loot item each reset, typically usages of infernal summons.


Tier 3: Two Osyluths protect the lair alongside the Kytons now, it has expanded once more to accommodate a full following of cultists, bunks now set in a portion of the room, a bloody arena for the faithful to prove their worth in the center, flames flicker in all corners of the room soaked in blood red light, smoke rising from other parts of the room. A true infernal playhouse, the occult relics now spawn stronger infernal summon items.


Abyssal Lair:


Tier 1: A queer looking stone interior bathed in twisted green light, with evil smoke rising in many corners of the room.. A bloody pentagram rests in the center with a bowl of blood at its center for offerings to the cults twisted demonic master (where you feed resources).. There aren't many accomodations, little filthy beds of rags and straw where one might rest.. A chest of bone where one might store stuff, and a fount of blood where one might drink.. and be revitalized (functions as a purple crystal)...


Tier 2: The place has become a focus for abyssal entrances..  Succubus's now lounge in the abyssal den, prepared to guard it, and strike with fury upon anyone disturbing the den and not committed. The place has expanded to accommodate more slaves to your abyssal lord.. More ragged makeshift sleeping places spread around, the bone chest has expanded, and a gaping twisted stone mouth has formed in the wall of the den, peering inside revealing nothing but blackness, but it is said one can reach inside and pull out a boon of the abyss once in a while (abyssal themed loot item per reset). More evil smoke rises around more and more of the room, more easily inhaled..


Tier 3: The abyssal den has become a demons playground, succubus's now stand alert on guard, watched over by two massive Vrocks, the room is clouded in acrid evil smoke, making one think the darkest of thoughts.. The queer green light has grown more intense giving an alien unwholesome look to everything within. The place has expanded to permit a full legion of slaves dedicated to the abyssal lord which has conquered this small part of the world that is your den. Now a single Bodak stands near the stone mouth, speaking in a whispering hissing voice he can offer the boons of the abyss. (statistic buffs, and a unique power called "Abyssal Blessing" which will consume 500 lair points per use, and it offers a demonic mutation onto the user(some demonic trait + minor RP ability to reflect it).)




Well, there's some cool idea's, can disregard all of it and make your own thing, but I'm just tossing idea's. Would be cool to see a cultist lair for demonic and infernal themes.

Infernal and Abyss themes are often the cause of very awesome and immersive group or soloconcepts.


Such a lair would be awesome and I hope DM's read your suggestion since I love these concepts.
