Descent Into Avernus – Episode 7 “…But Then I Did”

AKA the shortest session of D&D we’ve ever had. AKA I was right. So the session began exactly where we left off last time, with me standing in the room with the hench lady and the others outside, ready to rush in and help. Which is exactly what Korfel, with the highest initiative, did. Unfortunately, […]

Descent Into Avernus – Episode 6 “I Almost Died Again, But Didn’t”

…which is becoming my mantra for the campaign, apparently. However, Orgonbrand surviving this session does make him my longest-lived starting character since I started telling D&D stories on this blog. Pretty big deal. However however, last time such a milestone was broken, I immediately died in the next session (RIP Jack) and the way this […]

Descent Into Avernus – Episode 5 “‘Sneaking’ into the Manor”

First of all, I didn’t die! Orgonbrand has made it through his fifth session. I am not at all confident for his sixth session, but we’ll get to that later. For now, all that matters is he made it through this one. Not without a couple of extremely close calls, but we’ll get to that […]

Descent Into Avernus – Episode 4 “We Have a Plan… Right?”

First thing first, we did not have any extra party members this week. We are actually due to be gaining two players – the new person from last week’s one-shot and an old member of the group who had to leave before I started writing about D&D on this blog – but due to scheduling […]

Descent Into Avernus – Episode 3 “What They Call in the Business ‘A Close One’… Several of Them”

Talk about teetering on the brink of death. No one died this session, but for reference, I started with 15 hit points, and up until the long rest we ended on I never had more than that. In fact, mostly I was sitting on less. The others, too, were somewhat hit point light for the […]

Descent Into Avernus – Episode 2 “Dragonborn’s First Massage”

The investigation continues. We began the session by speaking to the Guild contact we met just at the end of the last one. She told us that she couldn’t help us herself, but she had an associate who could, and that associate owed her a favour. With her blessing, since it would help her own […]

Descent Into Avernus – Episode 1 “A Rather Busy Beginning”

Here we go again. We began this campaign just inside one of the gates of Baldur’s Gate, which is currently sealed to keep anyone from getting in or out due to a massive recent influx of refugees. The three new player characters happened to be nearby when a fight broke out between civilians and guards, […]
