[QUOTE="RatPunk, post: 276998, member: 1246"] Ok, here is my first attempt at a Story Hour. Please, be kind :) This campaign has been running since December 2000. We have recently taken a break (for the DM’s sake) and started a new campaign, but we will be returning to this one eventually (we’re only half way through the story, after all). I thought I would post these accounts here for everyone’s enjoyment. I look forward to reading everybody’s comments. Some campaign facts: The campaign is set in the World of Greyhawk. The first adventure is a modified version of one of the free “game a week” adventures from WotC’s site, the name of which I’ve temporarily forgotten. The rest of the adventures (so far) are all modified versions of Necromancer Games’ Wizard’s Amulet, Crucible of Freya and Rappan Athuk (part 1) modules, along with the obligatory home-made stuff. One thing of note before I introduce the characters: the tone of the narrative will change after chapter four. I originally started off as the DM, but after three and a half sessions, one of the players (Hugh’s) wanted to try his hand at running the game. From that point on, all the chapters will be from my character’s point of view. I think they’re much better that way… ;) The initial cast of characters: Ostler – A dwarven cleric from the Flinty Hills region of Greyhawk. He’s a follower of Kord who refuses to heal you unless you praise Kord first. Shuglin – A dwarven sorcerer and friend of Ostler. Like Ostler, he prefers to use a battle axe in combat even though neither of them are proficient in it. Rumblethorn Darkbriar – An elven druid from Celene. He travels with a wolf companion named Brush who would turn out to be the group’s best fighter for a long time. Jackie Woo – A halfling monk. Occasionally his natural halfing tendencies want to come to the surface and he needs to be reminded that he isn’t a thief. Jebeddo Daergal – A gnome rogue. Jeb refuses to admit that he’s a rogue, preferring the term “missile warrior” instead due to his devastating accuracy with bows. Hugh Barringer – A human paladin. Hugh tries desperately to follow the path set for him by his goddess, Mayaheine, but it becomes increasingly more difficult the more he travels with Jeb. And now, Chapter One… [/QUOTE]
