About the adventure
A letter has come for you. The ornate yellow parchment bears no name, and yet it speaks of you as if it were a friend, hints as secrets no one but you should know. And then invites you to a holy city far away, to meet your fate. Little do you know that accepting this invitation will soon bring you face to face with the horrors of hell and the plots of angels and gods... ----------------------------------------------------- Have you ever wanted to 🔥explore the burning hells🔥, experience the events leading up to 📜Baldur's Gate three📜, or Journey ☄️Past level 20☄️? If so, than this is the campaign for you! Riding the line between horror and epic adventure, this homebrew take on the Descent into Avernus will be skipping the first half of the module to send you straight to the good part: hell. As you fight to survive and eventually escape, with or without your stomach...

Homebrew rules
House rules will be covered during session zero, but the following are the big ones: • Rule of Cool • If an attack roll beats the target's AC by 10 or more, it counts as an artificial critical. • Negative Hit points Exist, they work how you think they'd work • Standing up from prone triggers an attack of opportunity • Spells of level 2 or lower don’t count against the ‘one spell slot spell per turn’ rule

Safety
How Ellery/Scriblatives creates a safe table
Although Avernus will have its fair share of goofy moments and zany characters, a central part of its theming is things like body horror and difficult moral choices. Because of this, a crucial part of the session zero process will be discussing triggers and content warnings to ensure everyone is as comfortable as possible! I will also regularly check in, to make sure everyone is having as much fun as possible!
