About the adventure
-------------------- --The Adventure-- -------------------- "You want to escape? Hah! There is NO escape from Avernus..." -Zariel, Archduke of Avernus -------------- 🔥 Descend into the first layer of the Nine Hells ⚔️ Battle across the front lines of the eternal Blood War 🏍️ Race across infernal wastelands in hellish war machines 😈 Bargain with devils, demons, and desperate souls 🗡️ Recover legendary relics capable of changing fate itself 👼 Decide what you're willing to sacrifice to save a fallen city -------------- The holy city of Elturel has vanished. Dragged into the first layer of Hell, the city now hangs above the River Styx, slowly sinking toward oblivion. With thousands of innocent lives at stake, you must descend into Avernus, where devils wage endless war against demons and every bargain comes with a terrible price. Cross the blasted wastes of Hell, forge uneasy alliances, uncover the tragic fall of the angel Zariel, and decide whether redemption or damnation awaits the souls of Elturel...and your own. -------------------- ----------------- --IMPORTANT-- ----------------- We have an established group of 3 players (plus the GM), and we are looking to recruit at least 2 additional players to play in future, long-term campaigns. The group has been together for 3+ years, so they are all experienced gamers and role-players. This adventure will be to see if new players are a good fit for this group and table, with the hope that the new players - IF a good fit - will join us for future campaigns. We value transparency and open communication. ----------------- --------------- --My Games-- --------------- My playstyle encourages creativity, and our Session 0 will help tie everyone's characters into the world. 🗺️ Animated Maps 🎙️ Dynamic Voice Acting 🎻 Hand-picked Soundtrack 💓 Emotional Connections 📜 Character-Focused Narrative 🎭 Drama, Horror, and Tragic Storytelling Message me on Discord, and we can voice chat to see if this game is a good fit for you.
