Nightmare in Demonville // D&D Abyss Outer Plane #8

The party follows newly lit torches into the eastern branch of the Abyssal labyrinth, where each hero faces a personal trial tied to Oleander’s fractured memories. An anvil-forge puzzle, a treacherous slide trap, and a banshee-tinged confrontation push them to choose courage over fear. Nella’s path turns unexpectedly tender—and dangerous—as a vision blurs into something real. With braziers lit and the crucible moving, the team rallies back toward the hub, closer than ever to the truth behind Oleander’s pain.
