My party needs to recover some phlegethosian sand from Bel's Forge (Alexandrian Remix) in the next couple of sessions, and they don't want to put themselves into debt with a powerful devil like Bel unless there's no other option. An alternative they came up with was a heist, and they've been getting really hyped to do it and have been taking steps over the last dozen sessions or so to make this happen.

Of course, with how into the idea they are, I want to make that an option. A super difficult option, but an option nonetheless.

The module obviously isn't set up for this, as it assumes it's impossible, and I'd rather not make a map for a massive complex like Bel's Forge completely from scratch if I don't have to. I've been thinking of using the Fire and Darkness chapter from Keys to the Golden Vault as a heavy influence, but I was just wondering if any other DMs have successfully done something like this before, or if anybody has any ideas or resources on how to make something like this happen!

My players just had a meeting with Mahadi within the Infernal Rapture to get something they needed from him for some plot reasons. Big reason they were able to get it was by using a piece of blackmail they had against Mahadi to strong-arm him into a deal to hand it over. Mahadi accepted the deal in exchange for them handing over the evidence of this blackmail, but because of the information they know from this blackmail, he has no desire to risk them leaving and spreading that information elsewhere.

Long story short, would it make sense for Mahadi to be able to break his own "non-violence" rule to send his goons after the party before they leave the Infernal Rapture?
