Descent into Avernus: Hell Needs Heroes

About the adventure

Descent Into Avernus: Hellriders Wanted Elturel has fallen. The shining holy city now hangs in the skies of Avernus, chained above a burning wasteland of devils, demons, war machines, soul coins, infernal bargains, and impossible choices. What began as a rookie assignment has become a desperate mission through Hell itself. The party has already survived the fall, uncovered dark truths, and crossed into the first layer of the Nine Hells. Now the campaign is deep in the Avernian wasteland, where infernal warlords rule the roads, devils offer power at terrible prices, demons tear through the battlefield, and the last hope of Elturel may lie hidden somewhere in the ashes of Zariel’s past. This is a great entry point for a new hero. Maybe you are a stranded survivor of Elturel. Maybe you are a Hellrider lost in Avernus. Maybe you are a Flaming Fist soldier, a scholar of forbidden lore, a prisoner of devils, a war machine scavenger, or a desperate soul looking for redemption. However you arrive, one thing is clear: Elturel is running out of time, and Hell needs heroes. The Adventure So Far The characters began as fresh recruits tied to the Hellriders, the Flaming Fist, or the Order of the Gauntlet. Their first mission should have been simple. It was not. What started in the Elturgard Woods spiraled into cult attacks, betrayal, bloodshed, and catastrophe. Then Elturel vanished from the Material Plane and was dragged into Avernus. Since then, the party has fought through horror, conspiracy, and infernal corruption to reach the burning plains of Hell. Now the story has shifted into high gear. The party is tearing across Avernus in a heavy-metal wasteland adventure full of spiked war machines, devil deals, demonic threats, fallen angels, lost memories, and the race to save an entire city before it is pulled into the River Styx forever. Who We’re Looking For Adventurers of all experience levels. New players are welcome, and veterans will find plenty to dig into. Team players. This campaign works best when the party supports each other, shares the spotlight, and makes bold choices together. Roleplay-friendly players. Your character’s beliefs, fears, loyalties, and temptations matter in Avernus. Players who like cinematic action. Expect war machines, infernal battlefields, desperate rescues, brutal enemies, and dramatic turning points. Heroes willing to face Hell. You do not have to be perfect. You just have to be willing to stand between Elturel and damnation. New Players Welcome Joining a campaign halfway through can feel intimidating, but I will help you build a character who fits the story, catch you up on what matters, and give your character a strong reason to be in Avernus. You can come in as a survivor, prisoner, rival, rescuer, mercenary, scholar, redeemed villain, Hellrider, planar traveler, or someone with unfinished business in Hell. Plenty of adventure left and we need another hero. You.
