Awesome, thanks for the pick, Renau! I'll get a character sheet up tonight.

Also, because I, at least, am having a little trouble keeping it straight whose character is whose and which of them are in, we have:

Sargil, Dragonborn Paladin (me)
Yanwer, Human Starlock (Graf)
Saphalaxis, Dragonborn Brawny Rogue (DEFCON_1)
Patresh, Dragonborn Warlord (Redclaw)
Viodron, Eladrin Orb Wizard (EvolutionKB)

As for background ... perhaps some or all of Patresh, Saphalaxis, and Sargil have worked together before? They all have backgrounds relating somewhat to mercenary work, I was thinking they may have at least crossed paths before (even just seeing each other waiting for work in the same tavern/inn/whatever, etc...)

I'm looking forward to this

 

[renau1g]

Thanks for the selection, Renau1g! I'll get right to work on the CS. We should also take the +1 to 2 attributes for 4th level, right?

Absolutely!

Sweet. I will have a character sheet posted tomorrow morning. I can work a little on backgrounds(but 3 dragonborn!)until then(most likely next post before 7 pm today).

Yeah it'll be interesting with 3 Dragonborn... , minions beware

 

[Lord Sessadore]

I was going to ask, Renau, what are the possible hooks for the adventure? Or are we going to figure that out once we get started? Should we all use the same hook?

 

[renau1g]

The hooks in the adventure are as follows as well as what type of quest:

1) Investigate the Bloodreavers (major) - a gang of goblinoid slavers
2) Slave Rescue (major) - Rescue slaves from the Nentir Vale
3) Trade Mission (minor) - Guard a trader to the Seven-Pillared Hall in the mountain
4) A Call to Adventure (minor) - Travel to the ruins in the Thunderspire and recover an item for a mage

Any other hooks can be added as requested.

You don't all have to use the same hook, but I'll need everyone to be entering the mountains at the same time and I'd prefer it there are only 2 groups...

 

[Niehaus]

Congratulations all good luck in the Labyrinth! If you guys need an alternate I would love to be a part of this adventure.

Early Draft of Patresh
<snip>

Just a couple things I noticed:
- "AC: 22 (+2 level+9 armor+1 shield)" - shouldn't +1 scale be +8 to AC?
- Javelin range is 10/20 instead of 5/10.
Didn't notice anything else, though I didn't go over him with a fine-toothed comb either.

On Sargil's turn, he must engage the target he challenged or challenge a different target. To engage the target, he must either attack it or end his turn adjacent to it.

Good catches, LS. No worries about pointing out my math error with AC. I would much rather play true to the rules rather than inadvertantly give myself any advantages.


I would prefer that we start as members of an established adventuring party. It would give us an in-character reason to cooperate and know each other's capabilities. Patresh will feel much better going into battle beside companions he has worked with before.

As far as their history, how's this?

Patresh met Sargil while working a caravan job together. They recognized each other as kindred spirits, men of action and the gods, and developed a friendship. They found their fighting styles meshed with little effort. When the job ended, they sought more work, eventually meeting a young human with arcane powers that made up for his disfigured eye. After parting ways with some companions who couldn't be trusted, they set out to explore a recently dicovered ruined keep, rumored to have held a vast library full of dark knowledge that had to be kept from the enemies of justice. Along the way they met an eladrin wizard and his bodyguard, a dragonborn thug (sorry, Defcon ). While their motivations might not match, they decided to work together, and eventually proved themselves able companions. That job now done, they are looking for new work, confident in the others' abilities.

Have fun, gang!

More time for me to spend on Living 4th Edition, I suppose.
