[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4851170, member: 46559"] [title]the background[/title] For months, dreams have plagued your sleep; snatches of flickering images quickly forgotten on waking, save for a lingering memory of terror and helplessness -- sensations unpleasant and unwelcome for a being of your experience and power. But the fragmented memories are too vague to use for divinations, and your more mundane source reveal only the usual crises. The dreams are unexplained. In time, they fade. Then, one night, you dream again. More vivid, more immediately real than before. You somehow know that this time, you will not forget on waking. The images rush over you, both familiar and new: [INDENT] [i]A temple on a mist-covered mountain, tall and still in pearly luminescence. A thousand ravens wheel above it in perfect silence. A warrior in coal-black armor pounds at a sealed doorway with an enormous hammer. Against a mirrored altar, his shield rests: on a field of crimson, a black dragon's head. You yourself, locked in battle against a dragon with scales like obsidian. Your comrades are cut down one by one, while ghosts wail in agony. A series of seven locked gates. As your hand reaches toward the first, a sound startles you, and you turn... A desolate plain beneath a leaden sky. You watch helplessly as a great black rock the size of a moon hurtles toward you; an impact the world will not survive. Blackness, and a falling sensation. Acceleration, and anticipation as you race down, faster and faster, toward your heart's fondest dream. Then, disaster and despair: the way is blocked.[/i] [/INDENT] You wake, the dream fresh and vivid in your mind. This time, though, instead of helplessness, you feel determination. [title]The details[/title] This is the OOC thread for my E1: Death's Reach game. Characters start at 21st level. If we get through this, I expect they'll get to 24th or so. Standard 22 point buy, standard starting wealth. Sources are published WotC books. Things from Dragon or published adventures or preview material are on a case-by-case basis; ask me. The setting is the generic nameless D&D setting described in the core books. Feel free to be creative in your character backgrounds. You're epic characters, and you'll have left a strong impression on the world in the process of rising to the top. At the same time, do leave [I]some[/I] room to grow. :) Players: Atanatotatos: Barb/fighter? CaBaNa: Wizard? renau1g: ? Oni: ? Sessadore: ? That's all I can think of at the moment, I'll update as needed. [/QUOTE]
