[Avernus Mondays #71] The demons advance (PCs level 12)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Welcome to Baldur’s Gate, a city of ambition and corruption situated at the crossroads of the Sword Coast. The city is also boiling with crime, intrigue and paranoia, as an overflow of elturgardian refugees has the Flaming Fist - an army of mercenaries in charge of Baldur's Gate's security - with their hands full. Something's happened in Elturel. And it doesn't look good. Inside the walls, a plot of a different nature uses the ensuing chaos as a smoke screen. Word is that there's blood in the streets. You, as a starting adventurer, have been drafted by the Flaming Fist to help defend the city and investigate the recent deaths. Your orders are to speak to Captain Zodge at the Basilisk Gate, which pierces the city’s eastern wall. Designed for an adventuring party of four to six 1st-level characters, Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus is a Dungeons & Dragons 5e adventure that takes players from city of Baldur’s Gate and into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. By the end of the adventure, the characters should be 13th level or higher.

I was only able to play for a few sessions due to personal schedule, but my character was effortlessly written in and out of the story, and made to feel relevant in both the party and the campaign immediately!

The guy is just terrific, great at setting scenes, giving life to NPCs, coming up with ideas on the fly and all around telling an engaging fun story. He was my first GM online, so i was a little hesitant but he showed me the ropes and was/is very patient with my shenanigans. I can only recommend him to anyone.

I have a great time playing with Magus, he knows the rules, and his way around VTT. Uses music, ambient sounds. He keeps the pace up really well, and there is a good balance between combat and RP.

Magus has been an amazing DM so far! He has been very accommodating out of game in talking about upcoming sessions, backstory etc. In game, he is even better. He bringing the voices, the music and the fun! He does a really good job of keeping the party on track, while still allowing for player creativity. I would certainly recommend Magus to any player, new or experienced. I have played with about six different DMs, all who have been good, but Magus shines well above the rest. I cannot recommend him enough! 1000/10

How will character creation work
Chacter creation is scheduled for session 0, where I will clarify any doubts players might have about anything related to the game. This is also the moment where I present the Foundry VTT system (which will handle character sheets). For players already familiar with the 5e rules, you can also bring a level 1 character (created following the rules present in D&D's Player Handbook) with attributes picked via standard array method (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8). These sheets will be recreated via Foundry. Allowed source materials for character creation are: Player's Handbook, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, Volo's Guide to Monsters, Sword Coast Explorer's Guide and Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus.
