About the adventure
ā¢ Starts at level 1 and ends at level 13. ā¢ Keep Baldurās Gate standing. ā¢ Investigate cult activity while the road heats up beneath your feet. ā¢ Start with street-level problems. End up somewhere much worse. Elturel has vanished. The walls of Baldurās Gate are beset by refugees with stories of a city swallowed by fire, and its leaders gone without a trace. As panic spreads, violence rises, and the city begins to tear itself apart! With Grand Duke Ravengard missing after his visit to Elturel, the Flaming Fist struggle to keep order. Lacking leadership and stretched thin, they turn to outside help. They turn to you. What begins as a desperate attempt to hold the city together will draw you deeper into secrets far darker than street violence. Baldurās Gate stands on the edge of disaster, and whether it falls may depend on what you uncover, and how far youāre willing to go to stop it.

About me
I have been playing D&D for over seven years and running games for the past five. It's my passion (read: obsession), and I aim to introduce more to this fantastic hobby, because it really should be shared with as many people as possible. My games usually contain a healthy amount of roleplay (as a voice actor, I just can't resist), tactically challenging combat, and I like to make sure that exploration is rewarding for each player.

Safety
How Samuel creates a safe table
Safety Tools: Triggers and content sensitivity can be discussed openly or in private. General D&D violence and gore is a part of the game and cannot be avoided. X and N cards can be sent privately or said openly, depending on player preference. Breaks are taken at natural points, but in extreme cases (ie. character death), they will happen immediately after to check in. Session 0: Introduction to Baldur's Gate as an area of the Forgotten Realms, character creation, and discussion of any homebrew rule changes.
