About the adventure
You had a vision one evening. You watched as the entire city of Elturel was dragged down by massive infernal chains as a sphere of darkness blocked out the sky. Immediately, people's screams and panic erupt as the city is pulled deep down into the pits of the layer of the Nine Hells known as Avernus. This couldn't possibly come to fruition could it? In an attempt to learn more about this vision, you headed for Elturel hoping you would be in time to help stop whatever terrible premonition was about to come to pass not knowing you were marching directly towards an adventure that would test everything you ever knew and had... This is a 1-20 adventure running through the "Descent into Avernus" and "Chains of Asmodeus" campaign that will test your characters to the very core as you descent not only into Avernus, but through all 9 Layers of Baator! Can you make it all the way to Asmodeus' throne with your life and soul intact? Or will the Hells claim yet another soldier...

About me
🐿️Hey guys, Squirrel here!🐿️ 😮With over 2 years and now over 800 games, I've realized that if you work hard enough you can truly turn your passion into work. And as they say if you love your job, you never work a day in your life! With 10+ years TTRPG experience and a lifelong love for acting (including 2 and a 1/2 years as an award winning scare actor!) I thrive to bring my players moments that they will talk about far into their afterlife >:D 🎲During my session you can expect fantastic storytelling, a passion for group collaboration, unique NPC voices as well as a love to help players of all skill levels! Everyone starts somewhere, so why not start here and let's build your story together!📖 🫂Outside of StartPlaying I also run an AWESOME community of people! The Kicked Squirrel Inn community holds itself to be inclusive to all people, no matter of ANY difference! (Yes, that includes skill difference! We will help you out~ 😛) No matter the table, I've always found myself surrounded the coolest people ever, So what are you waiting for? Give me a message for an invitation, or sign up for one of my games and get yourself in to the Kicked Squirrel Inn today as we all know that every good adventure starts at the Inn 😉 😱My main genres of expertise are Horror, Comedy and High Fantasy with a touch of Sci-fi on the side for my Cyberpunk fans so if you find yourself in one of these games you can expect a high-intensity ride with some of the highest levels of immersion that can be provided during a session! (Includes: Voice Effects, Sound Effects, Music Changes, Visual Effects, Physical VTT Puzzles and more. My goal is to lift you off the computer chair and transport you into the world you're playing in!)👻 🎆Well Gamers, Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! If you've made it this far, take a gander down to the bottom of the page and check out which listings I have open! They won't last long!Hope to see you around the table real soon, and may your hits always be critical!

Creating your character
We will have a Session Zero where I will be willing to assist you in making a level 1 character using standard array for stats, however you may feel free to make one on your own time and bring it to the table with you. You may use any of the materials from any of the Faerun related sourcebooks. (Tashas, Xanathars, Monsters of the Multiverse) Preferred no races from Spelljammer or any of the MTG Campaign Settings, however I can always be bargained with.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to have/bring: -A Microphone and Discord Downloaded -A DNDBeyond and a Roll20 account (They're both free) -Beyond20 Browser extension for Firefox or Chrome (Not necessary but makes stuff easier) -A Webcam (If you would like to use video, but this isn't required) -A Positive Attitude and a BIG Smile :D
What Squirrel brings to the table
As your GM, I bring a variety of tools to each of my games. Aside from the typical stuff (Roll20, Discord and DNDBeyond), I also really enjoy bringing NPCs to life with different personalities and voices, as well as a constant ambient backtrack to make you really feel immersed in the world. When it comes to rulings, I like to read the table. If the table wants a hardcore RAW experience then we will stick to the rules as they were written, but if the table is looking to kick back and have fun then I'm totally here for it! Rules are only as fun as we at the table make them. Lastly, when you're playing at my table, pack extra smiles and be prepared to HAVE FUN!

Safety
How Squirrel creates a safe table
When it comes to player safety and comfort nothing is more important, which is why during every session zero I make sure to ask my players about their limits by doing a quick check in about each players triggers and Xs or Ns, letting them know any content warnings that may be present in the adventure and informing them about my open door, break and debrief policies. Players are also welcome at any time to either take breather or a break from the game, and at no point will they ever be asked to go into detail about ANYTHING they may not be comfortable with. Also, while the game is going on, if at any point a player needs content to stop immediately, they may hold up an X/N or type one in chat. This will allow me to make the necessary moves needed to make sure everyone continues to have a great time playing! Lastly, I am a huge believer in debriefing/aftercare. At the end of each session I will always hang around for anywhere between 15-30 minutes to chat about the session and to just generally hang out with anyone who wants to stick around! This is great for sessions where we may get into some heavier content so we can either discuss it or unpack it if need be! Remember, your comfort and your fun come first!
