About the adventure

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." No story better embodies this adage than the tragedy of the angel Zariel. When the holy city of Elturel was caught in the crossfire of the Blood War, Zariel answered the prayers of the besieged city and drove the fiendish forces back into the Lower Planes. But when she tried to invade the Nine Hells and take the fight to the fiends, she was overwhelmed. She fell to the infernal legions, only to rise again, twisted into an archdevil by Asmodeus: the Lord of the Nine. Over a century has passed since Zariel's fateful fall, and Elturel is in peril once more. The city has been cast into the Nine Hells, leaving a wave of displaced refugees to flood the neighboring city of Baldur's Gate. Can you unravel the conspiracy that threatens to send Baldur's Gate following Elturel into the Hells? Can you brave the infernal battlefield of Avernus and save Elturel from damnation? Can you redeem a fallen angel, or is the road to Hell a one way trip? Prepare to embark on an adventure that will change the Realms forever.

About me

Well met, adventurers! I'm a DM with over seven years of experience running games for 5e and have had the good fortune of finishing multiple campaigns, many of which lasted for over a year. Whether you're a veteran or a novice, a min-maxer or a casual player, a serious role player or a player who just wants to do an old-fashioned dungeon crawl; odds are I've already hosted a game that's exactly the sort of thing you're looking for! I like to start off each campaign (and even one shots) with a session zero in order to ensure a smooth start to an experience where everyone at the table can get the most out of the adventure. I'm familiar with most of the 5e modules published by WotC, but am no stranger to creating campaigns from scratch. In either case, I strive to incorporate player characters into the plot to make players feel integral to the story. Everyone should have their time in the spotlight! I could talk about myself more, but the best way to get to know me is to join the Discord we'll be using for our games. That way I can personally answer any questions you might have about the games I run and how I run them. Join our Discord by using this link: https://discord.gg/BnqFAE6axE

Character creation

Creating your character

- Characters created in FREE session zero on Discord. - Player characters begin at level 3. - Roll for stats or point buy if you don't like the stats you rolled. - Milestone level up system. - Roll for HP or take the average. - Characters will finish the campaign at level 11.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

- Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/BnqFAE6axE - Microphone/headset required - Roll20 account / D&D Beyond Account required. Both are recommended; we typically play on Roll20 and use an extension to link D&D Beyond character sheets. - I can help you build your characters and level up, but I expect you to know your own abilities once you have them.

What Robert brings to the table

- Role20 Plus level subscription with content sharing enabled. - D&D Beyond Master Tier subscription with content sharing enabled. - A FREE session zero where we can coordinate character creation. - I've completed this adventure before, after running it for nearly a year. - I encourage using existing NPCs as part of your backstory, or creating backstory NPCs to bring into the adventure so your character has stakes and a sense of belonging in the world. - I support bending rules for the Rule of Cool as far as possible without breaking them. As long as what you're attempting is remotely possible and doesn't explicitly contradict a rule, you are free to attempt it. - After this adventure ends, you'll have the opportunity to continue playing up to level 20 and explore the rest of the Nine Hells in an epic level adventure: Chains of Asmodeus!

Safety

How Robert creates a safe table

- There's a channel in the Discord where we can list our lines and veils. - X, N, and O's can be sent over Discord or Roll20. - We'll have a FREE session zero to discuss how lines and veils will be implemented. - No element of the story is worth causing players unwanted emotional distress. Don't ever be afraid to speak up at any time and put our safety tools to use!
