    WotBS Connecting Rhuarc Knightsbane to Player's Backstory

    It might help to know a bit about the character's origins, like their race/species. It could point you towards ideas. A few thoughts... DESCENDED FROM KNIGHTS: Rhuarc's quest to destroy the old Order of the Aquiline Cross might provide some tie-ins, particularly if the PC is of a long-lived...

    WotBS Emeraldbeacon's Burning Sky (live game)

    As Vuhl cackles madly, and Timbre crumples to the ground, all of the Seela begin to panic - save Tiljann, who had the opportunity to meet Timbre in person, and learn firsthand just how mortal she was. Frantically, she rushes forward to maintain the sing of forms, as the battle is joined. Vuhl...

    Coming off their success at negotiating the creation of a pantheistic temple, the team splits up to handle a few different lines of thought.

    WotBS Warlock, primordial patron

    That makes me wonder, if one was to go back and add new, thematic subclass for the Artificer and/or Blood Hunter classes, what would they be? :unsure: Artificers, with their science-based magic, could be an Arcane Researcher from an academic institution (Gabal's School, the Lyceum, or something...

    WotBS Warlock, primordial patron

    It's a bit of a hunt to find them, honestly... those particular patrons are specific to the WotBS adventure path. Their full names are given in Chapter 10: Silesh-el-Mavisha, the Tidereaver Kraken (patron of water) Thuuga-el-Shembul, the Worldshaper Worm (patron of earth, whom also originated...

    WotBS Emeraldbeacon's Burning Sky (live game)

    After a few weeks off, the team is finally back in Innenotdar... At the mouth of the White River, the team meets Nelle, a grizzled old Unicorn who provides them safe harbor for the night, helping them get a safe rest for the night, while sharing his own perspective on the forest, and the spirit...

    WotBS EmeraldBeacon's Burning Sky (online game)

    Together, the team set out to tackle the challenge of the unified temple, starting with the Ragesian Savages, who were honored at being selected first for the project. From there, they split up to handle different goals... the Ragesian Philosophers agreed with sound logic, while the Sindairese...

    WotBS EmeraldBeacon's Burning Sky (online game)

    The moment you realize that your resident Bard has optimized for Persuasion (+9 modifier thanks to Expertise, and as an Eloquence bard, he can't roll lower than 10 to persuade or deceive), and can't possibly fail any of the DC19 checks to unite the religious groups of Seaquen, even with...

    WotBS EmeraldBeacon's Burning Sky (online game)

    Descending into the swamplands, the group makes good time, eventually following a muddy trail - and the continual sounds of frog calls - to a secluded grotto a mile or so from the village. The party tried to approach quietly, but with a strong warning thanks to his amphibian alert system...

    WotBS EmeraldBeacon's Burning Sky (online game)

    Delving underground, the party clears out a nest of fire rats, discovering even more, smaller tunnels leading east towards the old ruins. Realizing they can't explore further, they do come to the conclusion that the rats are finding ways into either older basements that have some deterioration...

    Elves of Innenotdar

    I'd say that their race/species would still be Taranesti (literally "wood/forest elves"), just like the victims/survivors of Phorros Irrendra. As for the name of their "nation," I think "Innenotdari" could work, as does "Innelesti" or "Otdaresti." Remember, the mountain range that once...

    WotBS Soul Powered Items

    Similarly, you could say that The Torch does normally consume souls to operate its higher functions, but that they could research alternatives, and just let the players come up with their own alternatives, however wacky... and see if any of those concepts pique your interest. (I suggest that...

    WotBS Soul Powered Items

    A few points to consider... To REPAIR the torch, a soul does need to be restored to it... but the fragment of Trilla's soul that they gain in the Temple of Echoed Souls is indeed that, an echo. It's a duplication, a facsimile, a placeholder. It can't fuel the torch fully, which is why it...

    WotBS EmeraldBeacon's Burning Sky (online game)

    The team travelled to Magistrate Lorb Votberd's home, hoping to earn his support in allowing the sour lake goblins to travel into and trade freely with the city of Seaquen. After a bit of persuasion, they got an audience, and proceeded to explain why it would be a grand idea to pursue this new...

    After spending a bit of time at the Seela village, and learning about not only the Song of Forms, but the rift among the Seela people between maintaining and stopping said song. Papuvin offered his quiet assistance in anything the party hopes to accomplish, while Vuhl pleaded with them to help...

    WotBS EmeraldBeacon's Burning Sky (online game)

    You know, this gives me other ideas. It's already afternoon, and the party probably won't be doing much more than just this, but they ARE going to the home of Magistrate Lorb Votberd, to convince him to permit the goblins of the swamps to practice trade within the city, and protect them from...

    WotBS EmeraldBeacon's Burning Sky (online game)

    As the party has been itching for some combat, I'm intending on having them stumble across the Fire Rat Swarms shortly... but looking at the team, compared to the CR of that encounter, it seems rather... anticlimactic. I'm toying with ways to amp up the threat level of that encounter, for a...
