There are doors that should not be opened and sometimes due to the meddling of occultists, wizards, mad demi gods and cosmic entities as well as others there are places that can appear in the skies to be devil worlds. Adventurers, heroes, and fools are needed to banish these adventure locations back into the Outer Darkness once again. Here's a random table to allow such cosmic menaces to draw in your PC's to such hazards. These are merely the bare bones of such things and a DM will need to flesh them out and map them.
