"Let's go back to base." Jill says as she tries to get her hair back down after being electrocuted. "A shame that Madame Hiriart is not here to see me now, when I am truly sparky."

When Jill gets back to base, she finds a corner to sit down in for a moment and puts her head in her hands. Killing hell-beasts at one of the twisted natural attractions at Avernus. Fighting in an eternal war at Acheron. It's fatiguing. Jill thinks. How does Misha do this every day and never get the least bit tired of it? It wasn't this exhausting the last time we adventured together. And Jill sits in that corner and takes a rest until the next time a party forms to head out and explore Avernus, not even bothering to head to Acheron.
"It is the heat."Misha says, walking over to Jeel, sitting next to her. "It can feel overwhelming. Make you tired. Sleepy. Not like bek on world you come from. This place is full of evil, twisted, inhuman. Crazy theeng ees, I hef spent so much time here. Eet ees like second nature to me, ya?"
Misha looked at her for a moment. She looked tired.
"Everything else ok?"she said, rubbing her back with her palm. "Or do you want Misha to leef you alone to rest, ah?"
Nik Nak spends the whole ride back chatting with the modron, even if it doesn't register anything she says. She then takes a long nap before being ready to head back out, hopefully dragging her brother along as well this time.
Jill sighs with relief when Misha comes over to give her some support. "I will merely need some rest, mon ami. I will be ready to go back out tomorrow. Thank you for checking up."
For some odd reason, Jill finds it incredibly funny that Misha is concerned about her cleanliness in a place like this. She begins laughing and hugs Misha as she gets up. "Now you need a bath."

Laughing uproariously at the countermove, Misha gets Jeel in a playful headlock as they tussle gently and reminds her something she already knew. "Friends who fight together share stink together!"She pulls you up, slaps you hard on your ass, and says, "Don't forget to scrub behind eers!"

Off in the distance, three infernal vehicles roared across the barren war torn landscape. Today was hotter than usual, and even Misha's usual dry smooth skin was beginning to give under the pressure in terms of sweat and keeping cool. Then we saw it. Colossal spiked chains extended across the entire hellscape, their links partially buried under the ash and large chunks of masonry. Each broken chain is roughly a mile long. We stood in awe for a few moments, stand up in our vehicles. What in Hell's name would be so large to have chains like these attempt to hold it down on Avernus?
Something caught out eye. Miles down the chain, three figures were on top of one of them. They appeared to be chanting.
"Here we go again."Misha mumbled. "Maybe thees time, no white shocking magic, ah? Misha just feexed her ponytail."

"Actually, I kinda like the heat here! Reminds me of what I read it's like in one of those tropical vacation places!"
Zoning out when they're on their drive, Persephone starts going through a checklist in her head of things to do once she gets back to the office after this mission. SO many reports to file, requests to process, group policies to update, ..., on and on. But now that she's tasted adventure for the first time in her long life, she's not too sure she wants to go back to sitting behind a desk for centuries on end. This is rather enjoyable!
As their vehicle approaches the huge chain link, she squints and attempts to make out the characters they see standing on top of one of the links in the distance. Using her newly honed ranger skills (Primeval Awareness), she senses something....
Primeval Awareness
As an action, you can expend one ranger spell slot (1 minute per level of spell slot) to sense whether any aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead are present within 1 mile of you (or within up to 6 miles if you are in your favored terrain). This feature doesn’t reveal the creatures’ location or number.

Misha leans over and gives you a sisterly squeeze, kissing you on your sweaty dirty forehead. She whispers in your ear. "You need a bath, too."

Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Yes. There are three chain devils worshiping on top of one of the massive chains.
