About the adventure
The holy city of Elturel has disappeared from the Forgotten Realms and descended into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. This event came about as the result of an infernal bargain between the archdevil Zariel, who rules Avernus, and the treacherous High Overseer of Elturel, Thavius Kreeg. Zariel is capturing cities and using their citizens as fodder in the ongoing conflict between demons and devils known as the Blood War. Next on Zariel’s list of cities is Elturel’s neighbor, Baldur’s Gate. The characters can be the heroes who descend into Avernus, save Elturel from certain destruction, and prevent a similar fate from befalling Baldur’s Gate. Journey into Hell, forge alliances, kick some ass and save the world! This adventure spans from level 1-15, new players are welcome.

About me
Consistently one of the most recommended DM's on the site!!! Hello adventurers! I am Mallow, and I hope to be your new favorite DM. I have been playing 5e since 2015-2016 and have garnered a ton of DM experience through running Adventurers League (WotC organized play) at a local shop as well as the big conventions in Phoenix. My style tends to lead to comedy, humor and the "rule of cool" instead of dark, gritty, and RAW. A lot of my style focuses around putting a unique and intriguing twist on some of D&Ds most classic settings and campaigns.
