Act III — Descent & the Road to Elysium
The party stands at the threshold of the bleed-zone, where Limbo's rainbow chaos and Pandemonium's red maw grind into one cavern. Nyleth's body waits in the dark.
Where We Are
After detonating the Ixvaldian terraforming device in the pit near Hrafnheim, the party was pulled out by two celestial Warden agents, Aisha & Shareen. The cave has collapsed into a bleed-zone of Limbo and Pandemonium.
They hunt Nyleth's dormant body, shelter in Ravon's hidden house, and are caught between a sealed four-armed entity and the truth about Bjornwulf and the thing wearing Sigrún.

Official 5e Plane Rules DMG — USE THESE
The homebrew below is built on top of these, not instead of them. Power of the Mind is the party's toolkit — hand it to them early.
When To Roll
🧭 EXPLORING — once per leg of travel, every PC saves (DC 15 · 17 deep · 13 near an Anchor). On a fail: +1 stack and roll Table 2 — the player takes that prompt and must hold it at the table until it sheds. Beat the DC by 10+ or roll a nat 20: shed 1 stack.
⚔️ FIGHTING — roll Table 1 at initiative count 20 each round (or every other round if it's slowing things down). It hits the whole battlefield — enemies included.
Bonus stacks for choices: +1 HOWL for answering a voice with your own voice · +1 HOWL for speaking the King's title aloud · +1 FLUX for deliberately shaping Limbo.
