BALDUR'S GATE: DESCENT INTO AVERNUS
The holy city of Elturel has disappeared from the Forgotten Realms and descended into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells.
About the adventure
Descent into Avernus is a difficult, dark, and gritty adventure featuring some dark themes including murder, mentions of torture, and manipulation. The Nine Hells are a dangerous place and I would like to have players looking to play characters with a few flaws and reasons to travel to hell weather the wish to seek some kind of forbidden infernal knowledge or if the just want to save the innocent people of Elturel, all players should have motivations.

Knows the Rules
Eulen is a story teller, with a high focus on aesthetics. From the very first session, they created an immersive world full of rich lore and engaging characters. Every encounter felt dynamic, with a perfect balance of roleplay, combat, and puzzle-solving. They are very knowledgeable about the game systems in general. The world-building is second to none. Every town, dungeon, and NPC is fleshed out with details that make it feel alive. It’s clear that a lot of effort goes into crafting the setting,
I've been playing with Eulen for over a year now, and they have become one of my favorite DMs and a dear friend. i love the world that theyve built for us, and i have never had a DM understand the assignment on a character quite like Eulen. immediately understood where i was going with my character and there have been a lot of moments that have brought me to literal tears as i felt the emotions my character did. we have had ups and downs, and consistently every time Eulen has listened and taken criticisms and suggestions to heart. i have always felt comfortable voicing concerns, as i know i will be taken seriously and that Eulen will be understanding and fair. i love playing with them, and i hope to continue for many many years!!
I have been a player in one of Eulen’s campaigns for a year now. They are incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent and inclusive. They respect boundaries and make sure that their players do so as well. Their world building skills are beyond measure! You will be impressed. They are also very skilled at working with players who are new to TTRPGs. So whether you are a seasoned player or a complete beginner, if you’re looking for an adventure, this is the GM for you!
Eulen is an incredibly based DM, they're very willing to work with players and they helped me with my character for our current campaign. Eulen is very kind, they have a very dry sense of humor which can be a bit confusing for people but just know they mean it all in good fun. During sessions, Eulen works well with the players, bringing their own liveliness to the campaign through their voice acting and characters. Speaking of characters, Eulen has a way of making you love (Or perhaps beat the everloving shit out of) them.
Anyone who enjoys roleplay and well written characters will LOVE Eulen's games, ESPECIALLY homebrews. They put so much work and effort into making their games enjoyable and their homebrew worlds are gorgeous, multi-faceted places. They always make sure to respect people's boundaries and triggers. I've never had a session that I didn't enjoy with Eulen :)
Character creation
Creating your character
We will be rolling for stats on D&D Beyond, I all any character species and class in my games, for some species options I may ask for a convincing explanation as to why they are joining the party. For example a plasmoid old be a wizards experiment to give sentience to an ooze.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be using Discord for VC so you will need a working mic, character sheets will be made on D&D Beyond during session Zero. If anyone isn’t sure how to use Discord or DnD Beyond I will gladly assist in any way I can.
What Eulen brings to the table
I am a role player first and foremost I love doing character voices and sound effects. I don’t require anyone to do voice voices if they’re uncomfortable with it. I own all content on D&D Beyond and character sheets will be made there we will be using the map feature on D&D Beyond as well, we will be using Discord for voice.

Safety
How Eulen creates a safe table
Considering the dark themes of this module I will be implementing a couple safety tools to insure everyone’s comfort, safety, and enjoyment. During session zero we will discuss characters, soft limits, hard limits and do’s & don’ts.
