About the adventure
A city has fallen into Hell—and you’re going after it. When Elturel is dragged into the infernal wasteland of Avernus, the world doesn’t stop—it burns. Refugees flee, cults rise, and devils begin to claim what remains. You were there when it happened. Now you’re stepping into the fire. In this campaign inspired by Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, you’ll fight your way from the streets of Baldur’s Gate into the first layer of Hell itself. This game is designed for players who want a clear, action-driven experience without getting lost in heavy investigation or slow pacing. You will: Defend survivors in the wake of a city’s fall Hunt down cultists and infernal agents Descend into Avernus, a war-torn hellscape Command infernal war machines in high-speed combat Face devils, warlords, and impossible choices Expect: Frequent combat and meaningful encounters Clear objectives and guided progression Cinematic moments and high-stakes decisions A fast-moving story that keeps you engaged every session This is not a mystery-heavy campaign. You’ll always know your objective—and the consequences of failure. Whether you fight to save Elturel, claim power in Hell, or simply survive the descent… your choices will shape what remains when the fire dies down.\ ⚙️ Game Details System: D&D 5e Level Range: 1–12+ Sessions: ~15–20 Session Length: ~3 hours Style: Combat-forward, cinematic, low-mystery
