Special Thanks:
This adventure was converted from a live tabletop adventure run a few years back. Thanks goes out to sunshadow21 for his work developing Tritower in a previous adventure; I borrowed heavily from his work when converting this adventure for LPF use.

GM Expectations/Rules/Whatnot (stuff you may well already know, but presented here anyway):
(1) I try to be a supportive GM and hope everyone will have fun. My message box is open if you need to contact me privately.
(2) I like the coyotecode.net die roller best for it's most direct roll history function (assuming you use the same name every time). I will probably make my own life easier with just good 'ol physical dice.
(3) We're doing group initiative using average initiative value, which means that once your team has the initiative, actions can be resolved in whatever order people post. Those on the losing team (initiative-wise) side, with above team average initiative scores, might be awarded (a pre-initiative action if their individual value beats the entire winning team.
(4) Players are encouraged to at least check on the game on a daily basis. When real life makes posting that difficult or impossible, please leave AFK messages if possible.
(5) Please include a Mini Stats sblock with every post that has some sort of mechanical effect, from combat to skill rolls. Included is an example MiniStats for my character, Charity. Customize to taste:

[/sblock](6) I may make some rolls for you, such as perception checks, saving throws, opportunity attacks, etc, to move the adventure along smoothly. If you anticipate needing a roll (say you suspect an opponent will move in such a way as to provoke your attack of opportunity) you *may* 'preroll' it, however, put the actual roll/damage in a spoiler block. I will only open it if the AoO was triggered.

Barlo Hawkins, Human Bard


Barlo stepped into the private room. He dropped his usual smirks and roguish expressions, maintaining a more serious demeanor. He had the impression that now was not the time for humor or amusing quips.

"Hello, there. I am Barlo Hawkins, experienced with a tale, a few weapons, and a number of other special abilities. I would like to hear what is going on. Just this day I had been contemplating a trip to Tritower and it certainly appears that you have news that is relevant for such a venture."

Barlo Hawkins, Human Bard


Barlo gave the swordsman a professional nod, "As I was saying, I am Barlo Hawkins and this gentleman," he gestured towards the man with him in gleaming platemail armor, "is Ethane Beray."

"We are hearing that there is some potential trouble near or around Tritower. Do you know of another worthy adventurer that might help out?"

Vincenzo rubs his stubbled chin thoughtfully. So many choices to mention, but one keeps coming to mind.

"The Jungle warrior. He is a druid that can fight as well as he can heal. He has a companion that can give any man pause for thought before acting in the wrong way. He is the Jungle king, Taniwah. A mountain lion sized cat, and a force to be reckoned with unto himself.

He nods to himself for his wise choice. Lem or the mechanical man, and many many others. But He sees a room with 3 warriors, but no healers.

Anton Torelli
Your potential employer nods as each of you introduce yourselves, his brows furrowed. He walks to the door, peers into the main room, and then steps back towards the table. "I'm hoping for four or five for a mission of this difficulty," he begins, speaking his words in the rich accent of the Venzan region. "However, it would not be a sin to break the ice before we begin, I suppose." Picking up his beer, he takes a deep draught of the frothy beverage before continuing. "I am Anton Torelli, head guard at the Cathedral of Glass. I am in possession of a report from two of our younger members indicating something horrible has happened in Tritower, including undead walking the streets and some sort of mass exodus by many of the townfolk. I'll dispense the details, of course..." With that, his voice trails off and he looks back towards the door.

[sblock=Scott]Wasn't your post a replicate of your DWI post? If so you can copy it in from there.[/sblock]

The door opens and a tattooed dark skinned head with a mohawk of twisted dreadlocks peers in through the crack. "Handsome Blade? Are you hiding here?" A spotted feline drops off his shoulders through the door and pads over to Vincenzo and rubs his head on his legs with a deep purr of affection before flopping down lazily directly on top of his feet. Maui saw the other unfamiliar faces in the room and momentarily looked awkward. "Taniwha... haere mai! Sorry, Maui not knowing you busy ..." The wild looking jungle warrior entered the room to retrieve his cat companion.
