Exiles in Avernus (Jeff Fairbourn)

Three college students are torn from their world and thrust into Avernus, a hellish realm ruled by sadistic goblins and predatory arachnids. Lia endures systematic psychological erosion under a fellow captive who preaches submission as survival, while Dana, separated and broken by torture, is forced to watch her only potential ally, Monique, struggle in vain to extract a parasitic worm from her own body. As Monique fails and the goblin chief returns with a fresh torment, the narrative sinks deeper into existential hopelessness, with Anne still missing and no escape in sight.
