Aris investigates the tablets, trying to see if there's any written in a language they can understand.
*They speak Abyssal and Infernal, and Common*
Okay, so Aris can make it a few of the tablets, which appear to be records of the worst sins committed by those who have walked this path. Murders, violence, theft, exploitation, sadism. One theme appears to recur in each of those three languages.
'Come on now, follow my lead/ Come, come on now, follow my lead'
'The club isn't the best place to find a lover/ So the bar is where I go/ Me and my friends at the table doing shots/ Drinking fast and then we talk slow'
'I'm in love with the shape of you/ We push and pull like a magnet do/ Although my heart is falling too/ I'm in love with your body'
Reeling from the horror of this evil, can Aris roll a d6? That'll be the amount of psychic damage he takes
*NOOO YOU REALLY MADE ME READ THOSE LYRICS WHY*

Hector takes a place next to him. "So, you decided to go through with it? I think that's a smart choice."
Caiman shifts. “It feels strange. But no matter how much of an annoyance you are, you do have good judgement.” He falls silent again, watching Alloy.
"We're both more than just fighters."
“Sometimes I doubt that.”
"I've seen you. You have friends at that tavern, people who you care about that you weren't forced to love. There's another side to you."
He gives Hector a strange look. “In the end we all go back to our roots, Hector. I will be a fighter until the day I die.”

Aris takes 1 psychic damage from the Ed Sheeran lyrics 💀
With that one damage, he lets the music wash over him. He does start humming for the rest of the walk, but it's a coping mechanism which allows him to come to terms with the evil that lies in the hearts of men (Ed Sheeran) and the dark sin for which any punishment is justified (also Ed Sheeran). He finds a strange inner peace in those lyrics

After a long trek through the desert, accompanied by the haunting tunes of past Ed Sheeran hits, you come to the outskirts of the city at Hell's Gate. Ramshackle tents and buildings made of loosely stacked bricks are crammed together. Running on the corrugated iron roofs, children without anybody to care for them play in the land of the forsaken dead. As you were coming closer to the city, a long queue of the dead forms but by the time you've arrived, that line has disintegrated into the sprawling shantytown you see before you. As you approach the Gate, you notice certain a few scenes
A collection of cowled men, sketching an exquisite pattern into the dust by the roadside
An old store building, long since looted and now filled with babies, stuck at the Gates of Hell.
Passing through a collection of tents, they see a pair of angels grab a fleeing man, smashing his legs beyond repair and dragging him away
Finally, they come to the small crowd outside the Gate itself clamouring for the attention of three figures on a platform about a hundred metres away. The Gate is firmly closed, but a smaller gate set into its base is open, guarded by a half dozen glossy-feathered angels.
