Arcanatober Day 23– Mahadi’s Mystical Pack of Potions
Named for the famous rakshasa owner of the Emporium of Wonders, who you might have met if you’ve played the Descent Into Avernus campaign. The actual card for today’s draw was the Seven of Cups– or as it’s called in my deck, the Seven of Skulls. Kind of an appropriate mix, don’t you think?

DESCENT INTO AVERNUS. references for my own benefit! please blacklist #descent into avernus ref if not interested in seeing this content! i cannot provide alt text to the images from the handbook, however, i will be showing notes on what i read in between screenshots!
PART 2: Notes on camp hell and devils for DMs and roleplaying! This could help you roleplay/make NPCs, and just in general is what devils and avernus is like!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
a soul is “a gold star.” devils are basically middle managers, they are all clawing for power and to rwnk up via the souls they can transform into lemures and devils to fight in the blood war
the devil doesn’t care what happens to the soul, they just want the credit for the corruption. they are always trying to get promoted
devils also can/have to fight in the blood war, but they hate it, and they only do it when they have to to gain rank
devils who die anywhere other than the hells just pop up again in hell. but if they die in hell, they die for REAL. obviously this means theyd rather be out of hell making contracts and not risking their lives for asmodeus’s “holy honor.”
devils by and large are mostly like raphael and mizora, theyre not eager to fight u and are actually pretty reasonable. theyre “lawful” evil, and they mean that!
devils dont age, they have all the time in the world, theyre patient, and they cant be shamed, and they feel no guilt or remorse. as a wyll fan i have to wonder if that’s biological or like. trained. bc it says its just bc theyre soulless. bc if he turned into a devil and then couldnt feel guilt over what happened to karlach and the other devils, that would make a lot of sense
Tumblr media Tumblr media
weaker devils get tormented by stronger devils. like tomgreg succession tiktoks, or me, whenever i go on tiktok at all as a tumblrina
joy is fleeting, npcs blame others for being in hells and having horrible lives (including devils?)
successes are always undercut. if something good happens, top it off with an ugly, ironic bow, a belt snap, a bee sting, etc
the wildlife is inedible, the water is poisoned or undrinkable, u have to hoard resources
the food in hell is EXPENSIVE. the food u bring there tastes like ash even tho it retains its nutritional quality, water tastes like puke, wine tastes like spoiled milk
if u want to eat good food, u have to buy it from a liscensed seller. devils who have a lot of good food laying about must be super rich, OR are feeding their people gross food. one liscensed seller is mahadi the rakshasa, from the infernal rapture.
if a character commits a selfish act, they can gain bardic inspiration. the benefit cant be transferred, making it truly selfish “hoarding.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the blood war MADE avernus this bad. it used to be a paradise. while joy is fleeting, what joy and beauty that IS there is euphoric and magical, like seeing illusions and mirages and feeling ancient objects that show u the beauty of what once was
Tumblr media Tumblr media
spatial distortion, hell is as big or small as you want it to be and always shifting and changing
the wandering emporium can show up anywhere in the nine hells at any time
if you want to get somewhere fast, use a soul coin for a shortcut
the hells can have a kind of silent hill effect where it challenges u in ways most relevant to ur deepest fears and flaws
next up, chapter one for realsies.

im updating our dnd wiki and i remembered that last session they met Mahadi and learned the fun fact that his hands are on backwards.
My players, knowing nothing about Rakshasa: oh ew that's weird we don't like that. he's probably fine though.
me: *sweats internally*
