RJK's Cairn of the Skeleton King: OOC-Chat

Hello together,

I am looking for valiant adventurers who dare to confront the horrors of Robert J. Kuntz' Cairn of the Skeleton King!

The game will open on February 15th and is estimated to be completed in about one month of daily gaming. Post are supposed to be short, but eloquent, and to be made on a daily base. :)



You have been hired by Viridian agents to escort two former prisoners of the City State dungeons, a Houri and a quiet Liowan, from Modron to the town of Tegel, where they are supposed to be handed over to the Green Emperor's secret police.

The identities of your prisoners were not revealed to you, though the the considerably high amount of money you were offered, may let you guess that the persons under your custody might be of value to someone of importance.

To make sure that you would not betray your employers, you were accompanied by Volaju, a paladin of Armadad Bog.

You left Modron for the Gasconfold plains, and travelled for two weeks along the northern shores of the Difring river until you reached the valley of Tegel.

There, you had a very unpleasant meeting with one of the wild Troll families that inhabit the rocky eastern highlands.

Leaving the prisoners under Volaju's duty, you followed the Trolls to their lair, were you confronted and killed them.

But when you returned, you found Volaju dead and your encampment devastated - and the prisoners gone...

Sorry, had not completed the editing... :) 29 point buy. ;) This will only be a scenario, so, since there's no leveling-up during the gaming action, make your characters as mights as you can.

Starting money and equipment as per the core books. :)
 

Hi Raph,

I have no experience with the setting whatsoever, but I'm flexible for character class. Let me know if I can help flesh out an adventuring party.

Great. I'll start making a character soon. I'll have it posted to the linked thread by the end of the week. 7th level is interresting for a number of classes. Any race restrictions or prefferences due to the setting? I'd prefer something along Human, Half-Elf, Elf or Dwarf line, but I can be persuaded to be almost anything if it fits the story.
 



Count me in, probably for probably a half-orc rogue, or maybe ranger or scout (bounty hunter type) - Jake the Nose.
