JollyDoc's Age of Worms!

Cool beginning. It gives you the chance to do a short recap of the previous story, too. Also: Celeste is back - I wondered what she was doing, when she's not introducing fake dwarven grandpas to adventurers.

Anyway, thanks for writing again, thus letting us participate in your campaign.

As an added note, let me just say that JollyDoc threatened me with PC death unless I contributed to this SH ;)

I'll post my PC char sheet when I get a chance.
Looking forward to your stats. JD, have his character beaten by a kobold, if he doesn't want to write an installment... ;)

Well here we go again I think everyone will enjoy this Story Hour so far we have had alot of fun playing it. It seems to have a little bit more comic relief around the table than shackled city did which I like. I guess JD has Killed everyones PC so many times in other games that we just try to keep it funny and laugh it off. I think I have a total of 4 Back up characters made up incase of Death because around here it happens alot.
So welcome to the misadventures of our Sunday Night Gaming Group. I hope everyone has much fun reading this story as we have fun Playing it.

Yeah, yeah...the more I read the feedback for Shackled City, the more browbeaten I felt. Each Sunday at the game table I found myself thinking, "Wow, that would look cool on the story hour." So, here we go again.

Our group has thouroughly enjoyed this AP so far, and yes, I will be recapping what has gone before...never fear. You, the readers, will, for a time, be seeing things through the eyes of Giovanni, and just as young Havok has to still discover the mysterious backgrounds of his new 'team mates,' so do you my friends. Let's all wish our warlock well...he doesn't know what in the Nine Hells he's gotten himself into...

Before you stands an unarmed and unassuming bookish young man of no more than twenty years, complete with thick spectacles. As he clenches his fist, you swear that his hand is bathed in a sheen of dark energy.

Giovanni was a member of a wealthy Sembian merchant family but was disowned for dabbling in the dark arts of the warlock. He spends his days buried in books, trying to learn the secrets of his fiendish heritage as well as to hone his dark magical skills.

COMBAT

Detect Magic (Sp): Giovanni can use detect magic at will.

Deceive Item: Giovanni can take 10 on Use Magic Device, even if stressful situations would not normally allow him to do so (such as combat).

Eldritch Blast (Sp): The first invocation acquired by all warlock is the eldritch blast. The eldritch blast is a ranged touch attack that is treated as a 1st level spell and has a range of 60 feet. At Giovanni's current level of power, his eldritch blast deals a base of 4d6 damage (6d6 with his Greater Chasuble of Fell Power).

Invocations (Sp): Giovanni has acquired a small number of invocations that he can use. Invocations are identical to spell-like abilities, with the exception that they have somatic components (only). Invocations can be used at will with no limit in uses per day. Giovanni has access to the following invocations:

Least:

Eldritch Spear: The range of eldritch blast increases to 250 feet.
See the Unseen: Grants Darkvision 60 feet and see invisibility (24 hour duration).
Dark One's Own Luck: Grants CHA bonus to one save (included with Fort save above, 24 hour duration).

Lesser:

Walk Unseen: Use invisibility at will (24 hour duration)
Flee the Scene: Use dimension door with close range (25 feet + 5 feet every 2 levels) at will, and leave behind a major image of self in its place.

Fiendish Resilience (1): As a free action once per day, Giovanni can call upon the dark forces to heal his wounds. He gains fast healing 1 for 2 minutes (at higher levels the healing increases incrementally up to fast healing 5).

EQUIPMENT

Greater Chasuble of Fell Power, +1 Cloak of Protection, +1 Ring of Charisma, Gloves of Fortunate Striking, Tunic of Steady Spellcasting, Spellsight Spectacles, Wand of Cure Moderate [26 charges], Wand of Cure Light [50 charges].

Much thanks to Joachim for Havok's stats, since we've been introduced to him already. I will, however, ask my remaining players to refrain from posting their stats until after their characters have been officially introduced in the SH, which will be in the next post, which should be...soon.
 


Try as I might, I can't help but get sucked into this SH.

Having somehow missed Jollydoc's other threads entirely I'll be in something of a bewildered mode. But, the first post is a goodun' and looking forward to more.

Spider.

Dex 18 is from a base of 16 and then 2 added at 4th level and 8th level, respectively.

I have only really played this character for 1 session, and he has made out very well thus far, under somewhat artificial circumstances. Over time, I will be able to give my final opinion on the viability of the Warlock, although Gfunk protests thus far that he is not impressed with the class (not necessarily Havok, per se). Maybe I can change his mind...

So far, this AP has been pretty fun I must say. I hope that you liked the Prologue...my contribution to the new SH.
