Each character must make a successful
Dexterity Check at -5 to Dexterity
on 1d20 or be swept into the
void. This layer consists of infinite,
gravity-less empty space—air exists,
but there is no native matter. A huge,
rushing wind sweeps anything it
catches far away from the conduit,
which is out of sight within seconds.
Only magic has any chance of finding
the conduit and getting back to Pazunia.
There is no life native to the
plane, but there is a 10% chance of
encountering Pazuzu here.
7. The Maelstrom
An insane cacophony resounds in
the conduit as you reach the bottom.
Outside, you see...total chaos!
Boulders, trees, and entire
landscapes are swept up in a torrent
of water and other murky liq-
uids, buffeted by strong winds. As
you look out, you feel alternately
heated by free-standing balls of
fire and chilled by the remains of
huge glaciers. The tug of randomly
changing gravity further disorients
you.
The maelstrom layer is similar to
Limbo, but there are no safe zones
here. Characters unwise enough to
venture out into this insanity will
quickly find themselves alternately
baked, frozen, drowning, or trapped
in sliding earth and, muck. Some
strange versions of life exist here,
including gibbering mouthers, ascomoids,
basidironds, crysmals, froghemoths,
kampfults, vargouille, and
other creatures too bizarre for words.

8. The Abyssian Ocean
This conduit hole is located on the
edge of the river Styx, which runs
into the hole forming a waterfall
into the depths.
As usual when the Styx is involved,
any contact with the water, including
spray from the waterfall, causes full
memory loss effects.
As characters approach the bottom
of the hole:
Below you is a torrent of water that
fills the bottom 50 feet or so of the
conduit shaft, coming from the
waterfall above.
Water from the Styx has filled this
entire layer, which has become a deep
ocean. The exit from the conduit
shaft (which is well underwater)
comes out into the bottom of the
