[QUOTE="NiTessine, post: 1421499, member: 475"] So, I was on a Planescape binge, and my normal group had disbanded for a holiday. I was getting gaming withdrawals. Shivering, covered in cold sweat, I did the only thing I could. I started a campaign on IRC. A Planescape campaign. A campaign that is played at 2am, my time. What a geek wouldn't do for a game... For this campaign, I decided to test some of the rules from [i]Unearthed Arcana[/i]. The rules we are using are armour as DR and Vitality/Wound Points. I feel this brings a sort of 'Hollywood realism' to the game. Reminds me of that scimitar-wielding psycho in [i]Raiders of the Lost Ark[/i]. I am only doing an intro to this story hour, for now. Kaodi, aka Dalgar Blackhammer, is the one doing the actual story hour, for the most part. I will only be the number two writer. Here they are, the intrepid heroes: [b]Alys[/b], CN female half-elf Rogue 1 A planar, and a true Cager. She is headstrong, proud, and possessed of a fiery temper. She is a leader type, and the de facto leader of the party for the time being. Alys is also quite intelligent, and lethal in combat. Her true talent, however, lies with locks and traps, and how to get through them. Alys is played by Neko_Ali. [b]Dalgar Blackhammer[/b], LG male dwarf Fighter 1 Dalgar is a dwarf from a prime world with no humans, drow, or halflings. This caused him some confusion when he first met them after stumbling through a portal to Sigil. Dalgar carries a large barrel of beer in his back. Nobody is certain why, since it impairs his movement in combat, but most are smart enough not to get between a dwarf and his ale. Dalgar fearlessly, sometimes foolhardily, wades into battle with his urgrosh. Dalgar Blackhammer is played by Kaodi. [b]Dr. Poojo[/b], N male halfling Rogue 1 Doctor Poojo purports to be a Professor Excommunicate of Experimental Alchemy, Academy of Greyhawk. Whatever the truth, he certainly is a clueless prime, with an unhealthy fascination with things that burn or explode. When not experimenting on new, more potent variants of alchemist's fire, the white-haired halfling may be seen sniping targets with a crossbow, or sneaking up behind them and severing their spinal columns or purse strings with his short sword. Dr. Poojo is played by Tugex. [b]Rhett[/b], LG male human Paladin 1 of Torm Rhett hails from a nation called Cormyr on the prime world of Toril. He originally had to flee through what turned out to be a portal as his home village was decimated by the drow cultists of Kiaransalee. He swore his life to the service of Torm, and on the same breath, vengeance upon those who destroyed his home. While he is certainly a righteous warrior, such vengefulness in a paladin may lead to many things yet. Rhett favours a large two-handed sword in dispatching his enemies. Rhett is played by Nightfall. [b]Strontium-90[/b], LG modron Cleric 1 of Bahamut Strontium-90 originally turned rogue and became an individual while in the clutches of a troupe of Krynnish tinker gnomes in the Outlands. He was experimented upon, and only saved from dismantling by a party of holy warriors in service of Bahamut. Something about such ordered benevolence struck a chord deep within the machine recesses of the box, and he soon took the rites to become the first known modron cleric of Bahamut. Strontium-90 is played by Primus. [b]Tondo Ket[/b], LN male bioloid Monk 1, Mercykiller Tondo Ket was made, not born. He is a sentient mercane construct, with a personality and a drive to learn. Tondo was originally slated to be sold to the Mercykillers, but the mercane trade caravan was attacked by an astral dreadnought, and Tondo was damaged as he got flung through a portal to Sigil. His driving force now is to seek a purpose for himself, and an explanation to the Mercykiller tattoo on the back of his hand. Tondo Ket is played by KingOfLaw. Kaodi, the stage is yours! [/QUOTE]
