About the adventure
Your home, the holy city of Elturel, is perpetually under siege. By the light of the Companion you have sworn to defend it against all challenges under the Creed Resolute. Now it is time to test your loyalty to your homeland. Cult activity is on the rise, and be they dedicated to Tiamat, Bane, Malar, or Myrkul, you know they are an ill omen for your city. You play as Hellriders, the elite guard force of Elturel, set to investigate the Cult of the Dragon in the Elturgard Woods, before their dastardly doings reach your home. Little do you know, far worse is in store for the place you have sworn to protect. This is a first-level adventure optimized for five characters. It's meant as an alternate introduction to Descent into Avernus, so this is running at the same time as the Descent into Avernus campaign I'm hoping to start.

How to prepare
I recommend taking a look at the basics of 5th edition, but I am happy to walk players through things and turn the first couple levels into tutorials if the table experience level is low. You don't need a webcam (though I like to see my players, so bring one if you want), but you will need a mic. Install Discord if you haven't, because I will be inviting you to a Discord server instead of using Roll20's video/audio. Make a roll20 account as well, so you can join easily. Find art for your character and make a token for them at https://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/. This will be ported into the game for ease. We will be rolling online on Roll20, so if you use DnD Beyond to create your character, I'll ask that you port them into Roll20 ahead of game time. I am happy to show you how.
What I provide
This is an online game, so I'm not bringing personal effects. Anything you need should be on the Virtual Tabletop.
Gameplay details

How will character creation work
Since this is a one-shot, it's easiest if you build your character ahead of time. If you're new to this and haven't built a character before, welcome! I'm happy to make some time to walk you through the process, just DM me on Discord once you've joined the server. Build a lv. 1 character. Please use 27 point buy, as this is a one-shot.
