After weeks of slogging through that meat grinder dungeon (which I’m now convinced is just poorly designed), we hit our stride in the city. The players took their time. Instead of going straight to the… DiA Session Five: Slow and Steady
Last week ended with us completing the Dungeon of the Dead three. Out of resources, the party dodged the dragon cultists waiting for them at the exit. This next session I expect them to head… Descent into Avernus: PreSession Five
The session started with Chella, the captured cultist, and ended halfway down the dungeon beneath the Stairs of Allegiance. In between? Deception and lore drops. As well as unexpected uses of forbidden artifacts. One of… CG Session Four: Under the Stairs
This week’s goal is simple: get the party into the dungeon under the Stairs of Allegiance. Last session ended with the group wrapping up their first real fight and capturing a cultist. A large part… Chronomancer’s Gambit PreSession Four

The session was solid. Some good fights, a little dungeon crawl creepiness, and a great use of corridor tactics and warlock tanking. Vic abused 2024 Fiendish vigor. The party used Oil utilize. The 2024 rule… DiA Session Three: Beans
We’re kicking off today’s session mid-dungeon, mid-tension, having just rolled initiative. Literally picking up with the players about to face down Flennis. A random npc in the module whose name may forever live in infamy.… Descent into Avernus: Pre Session Three
