About the adventure
The holy city of Elturel has disappeared from the Forgotten Realms and descended into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. This event came about as the result of an infernal bargain between the archdevil Zariel, who rules Avernus, and the treacherous High Overseer of Elturel, Thavius Kreeg. Zariel is capturing cities and using their citizens as fodder in the ongoing conflict between demons and devils known as the Blood War. Next on Zariel’s list of cities is Elturel’s neighbor, Baldur’s Gate.

About me
I try to bring a welcoming environment for new players, but also a creative enough one so that players who have been playing for awhile get a little something different. I like to think out of the box and encourage my players to do the same! If you want to somersault off the back of a moving horse while firing an arrow I will do my best to make that happen. While your fate is in the hands of the dice I view your fun’s in mine and as such I try to make my table not only a fun time but a place people can escape from the craziness of the world.

What Samhein brings to the table
I happily embrace the rule of cool as a DM. One of the things I love about DND is the creativity it allows for people and the amazing adventures that creates. I encourage this in my players and provide a safe environment for them to do that in. As a DM I do my best to also immerse my players in the world around them, this usually involves voices and graphic world building descriptions.

How Samhein creates a safe table
I will be sending out a lines and veils document. I also have an open door policy. If you ever have a comment or concern my DM's are open to you.
