Jarlaxle & Artemis Go To Hell

a fic mix

back in 2021 i went briefly feral and wrote a 128k Sellswords/Descent into Avernus fic that has not yet been edited or posted in the slightest. this is the playlist for that fic.

A mix of ship tracks, Zariel feels, and instrumentals I used for my Avernus game, the playlist follows the events of the fic, from Jarlaxle and Artemis getting hired in Baldur's Gate, to being dragged to Avernus in Elturel, though the various adventures in Hell leading to Zariel's eventual redemption, and the saving of Elturel itself.

END OF ME - ASHES REMAIN

There's a fire burning inside me / Cold steel calls out my name

this and the next few songs are for the final fight on the plains of Avernus, demons & devils, Lucille breaking the boys in half and throwing a meteor at Artemis (he gets better)...damn. it's a good scene. i should post it one day.

PATH VOL. II - APOCALYPTICA

What do you come for? / What did you expect to find?

LEAVING EARTH - CLINT MANSELL

this is the track that plays as Zariel lifts Elturel out of Avernus, a physical representation of her redemption.

REDEMPTION - THE DIVINE MADNESS

And I've fallen from grace now / Like too many times before

THE LONGEST TIME - BILLY JOEL

I don't care what consequence it brings / I have been a fool for lesser things

TALKING BODY - TOVE LO

Now if we're talking body / You got a perfect one, so put it on me
