[QUOTE="Sniktch, post: 415164, member: 7704"] I am now going to attempt to reconstruct the events that led up to our party entering [URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?threadid=26388]The City of the Spider Queen[/URL] .A brief introduction to our original cast of characters: Welby Hilltopple – Male Halfling Barbarian 1 A fierce warrior from the Panther tribe, he has been separated from his people by the lizardfolk incursion into the Tangles. Escaping with only his grandmother, who did not survive the journey north, he has vowed to return and drive the monsters from his homeland when he has the strength. Despite his fierce appearance, Welby has a heart of gold, and will go out of his way to assist those in need. The Royston Crow – Male Half-Elf Fighter 1 The “Royston Crow” is a man without a past. Welby discovered the young warrior in an icy field choked with the bodies of men, horses, and orcs. The halfling saved his life, but the “Crow” discovered he could remember nothing of his past before he awoke to find the feral halfling standing over him. He follows Welby now out of gratitude for saving his life and in the hopes that he may find clues to his hidden past. Stumpwater Jack – Male Dwarf Priest of Clangeddin Silverbeard 1 Jack hails from the mines of Karaz-a-Garodok, an ancient dwarf hold troubled by an old curse. Karaz-a-Garodok is the richest source of mithral in the known world; else the dwarves would have abandoned it long ago. Every so often, a pocket of metal is found that appears to be mithral, but when struck breaks open to ooze a foul-smelling oil. Disaster and tragedy follow these discoveries within a week. The dwarves of Karaz-a-Garodok are said to have the foulest tempers and worse dispositions of their race. Jack is no exception. He has journeyed to Travensburg with his companion Eli hoping to find clues to the nature of the curse in the ruined dwarf hold outside of town. Eli Mournsong – Male Elf Wizard 1 A member of a tribe of griffon riding mountain elves, Eli’s clan is closely tied to the dwarves of Karaz-a-Garodok. Long ago they signed a treaty of mutual support and aid. At their coming of age, a young dwarf and elf will be paired together for training, learning how to best complement each other’s skill at arms or magical power. Eli and Jack have been partners now for a dozen years, and Eli has grown to love his unpleasant companion in spite of himself. When Jack announced he was journeying to the crumbling dwarven ruins outside of Travensburg, Eli immediately volunteered to go with him. “Filthy” Ike – Male Half-Orc Rogue 1 Ichen Gar, better known to the world as “Filthy” Ike, wrote his own wonderful biography and turned it in to me before our first session. I still have it, and will put it up as the next post. They are joined very shortly by Artimas Sendant, a male human wizard (necromancer) 1, but he does not actually arrive until the second session. Grick and Quinn were actually living in Philadelphia when the campaign began, and they don’t show up until they moved back to Hagerstown. We’ll get to them a little later in the timeline. [/QUOTE]
