[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 6894686, member: 6801286"] A friend of mine started her first 3.5 campaign a few months ago, but this thread was lost in the big server roll back, so I'm reposting the entire thread (I kept a backup). [ATTACH=CONFIG]76690._xfImport[/ATTACH] [SIZE=1][I](Playing the campaign in the garden at night. Mosquitoes and crickets, what better way to set the mood for an expedition through a swamp?)[/I][/SIZE] She created her own maps, and started our merry band off on a quest to seek out what attacked a recent expedition. A group of wounded men and women came into the town of Meerheim. They were attacked north of the town, at night, by something that came from the ground. They heard a rumble, similar to the sound of rolling thunder, and then chaos erupted. But they did not see the attackers. On their way to Meerheim they were also attacked by wolves, and they stayed the night at a farm as well. So our party of adventurers signed up, while accompanied by two other npc's from the town. Our party consists of: [B]Sureiyã[/B] - Asian human swashbuckler (my character) [B]Bram[/B] - Half-orc barbarian [B]Mongo[/B] - Human ranger [B]Darius[/B], Gnome Tinkerer [B]Eriny[/B], Dwarf cleric [B]Sureiyã[/B] is the daughter of an ex-soldier, who grew up on a farm.
