    Assault on Stormbringer Castle

    The decision made, the group carefully makes their way up the mountain, having to avoid one aerial patrol of gargoyles along the way. You all find your way to the rear, mostly unguarded castle wall and take up a position about fifty yards away from the northwest tower, hidden amongst some...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Ch. 5, The Darkening Wood

    Sensing the end is very near, aware that he is not what he once was, Valurel strides over to Aislinn's broken form and sits next to her, cradling her head in his lap. "I'm here child. I'll stay." Looking to Herger, Mardo and Lodric, he yells "GO! Before its too late!"

    My apologies for not posting for a month. No excuse, sir! Although I will admit, the subscription feature not working is a serious annoyance.

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle

    OOC: There are a couple of potential pitfalls to this strategy. First, the towers (other than the two at the gates) are extremely far from each other. In the case of the back towers, they are nearly a quarter mile apart. Coordinating an attack from the towers if there is one PC in each of...

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle

    OOC: So what's the plan? Climb the back wall where it is nearly a quarter mile between guard towers? Climb one of the towers itself? Use invisibility of some sort to conceal the entire party or just part of it? Or something else altogether?

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle

    Kale, Kulgen, Mirm and Sevarian Mirm calls forth his fireball, placing it so that only the ogres are caught by the flames. The flames only lick at the backs of the ogres so as not to harm Kulgan and Kale but they are enough to end the battle before it really began. All four remaining ogres...

    Shayuri, I just realized you never posted your character to the Plots, Places and Rogues thread. Please post her here when you have a chance.

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle

    Kale, Kulgen, Mirm and Sevarian Sevarian lets loose a volley of arrows that rain down on the charging ogres. The lead ogre falls forward, his momentum enough to carry him at least fifteen feet, plowing a furrow in the dirt road. The other arrows find targets as well but those ogres keep...

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle

    Kale, Kulgen, Mirm and Sevarian The approaching group rounds a bend in the road about 50 feet from where the four of you are waiting. Ogres...seven of them. They appear in no hurry until they spot Kale and Kulgen in the middle of the road. With shouts of frenzied joy, they surge towards the...

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle

    Aridha sets off up the road followed by Jotunn at a discreet distance. The climb is not difficult but is slow going with the efforts to remain silent and unseen. A few small side paths intersect the main road at various places. The two are forced to hide from a patrol of four rather large...

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle

    The mountain itself is not extremely tall, topping out around 2,000 feet. The road itself winds around the mountain in a series of switchbacks and is probably eight to ten thousand feet in length. The road is the easiest and most direct route to the castle. From the base of the mountain, the...

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle (D&D 3.5) [OOC]

    Since no one seems to have purchased any mundane equipment, I will give the following equipment free. Any other mundane equipment that is desired should be purchased with starting funds. You can do so now before we get too deep into the adventure. Free items are as follows: backpack, bedroll...

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle (D&D 3.5) [OOC]

    Okay, the game thread is up here. I know maddmic is still finalizing his PC but we should have enough to get started. Feel free to start posting, probably some introductions about your characters should come first as you have all been recently thrust together.

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle

    Three hurricanes have ravaged the extreme southern coast of Varisia in the last three weeks, leaving behind death and destruction on a great scale. As the locals bury their dead and make plans to rebuild, they are fearful that more storms might be coming. The leaders of Argalis, one of the towns...

    maddmic, Your character looks okay so far. I know you are still ironing out the finer details. We talked about using a large weapon as a medium sized character. We also talked about bulls strength and gauntlets of ogre power not stacking completely. I know you are still hammering out your...

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle (D&D 3.5) [OOC]

    Shayuri, Your character looks good but I think you miscalculated hit points (they seem too low). Based on my formula for determining hit points, assuming you started as a Rogue, you would have: 6 (1st level) + 4 + 5 + 4 (Rogue levels) 6 + 6 + 6 (Ranger levels) 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 (Shadowdancer...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Ch. 5, The Darkening Wood

    Valurel, obviously confused by all that he has heard, gently sets Aislinn down on the ground and slowly moves towards the black mirror. He is unsure of what he will do or even how to destroy it but he is drawn to it nonetheless.

    Shayuri, your character looks good so far. It does look like you skipped taking your 9th level feat but I know you are still working on the character. Still waiting to see something from maddmic as well... Hopefully things will be finalized by early this week. I'll start the game as soon as...

    Assault on Stormbringer Castle (D&D 3.5) [OOC]

    I'll follow the stacking rules as written in the rulebooks as best I can. So, you would be unable to stack two bonuses to the same ability score (i.e. Cloak of Charisma +2 and Necklace of Charisma +1 wouldn't stack). And I think the Natural Armor question has been clarified.
