[sblock=The story]
/------------------------------------------------------/
8 years ago, the world ended... Nobody saw it coming, there was no sign announcing these events. But that night, everything changed. First, it was the earthquakes that ravaged the lands and cracked the earth open. Flames erupted from these cracks, filling the sky with black smoke and raining burning ashes as far as my elven eyes could see. Within a week of these events, the trees died, the lakes and river dried out, and wild animals, driven to madness, attacked everything on sight.
/------------------------------------------------------/
I fled to a human city, as many of my brothers and sisters did, but just as we started feeling safe again, "they" came out... Dark creatures that crawled out from these scars left all over the lands. There were so many of them that I could've swore shadows were eating away what was left... These creatures came in all at once, killing everything in their path. those who tried to fight back did not see morning again. Those who fled... well... The mostly ended the same way. A few individuals managed to survive this massacre by hiding beneath the city or behind sturdy locked doors.
Some still had faith in this world, but if you ask me; That's how the world ended...
/------------------------------------------------------/
Over the next few years, survivors banded togheter, living in fortified underground bases, scavaging the cities for anything useful. Water could still be found underground with you were lucky enough to find a spring. Life was not easy, but we were alive...
/------------------------------------------------------/
3 years ago, something else came up... One of my brothers had been injured, 2 others killed and the rest of his team was taken away. He was attacked by tieflings, a whole band of them weilding new weapons that could shoot eldritch flames. They killed the older ones and took the younger ones away. We could not think of any reason that would happen. unfortunately, these Tiefling hunters came back over and over again. Sometimes after a week, sometime after a month. But they kept coming back, killing more and taking others away.
The day came that I was the only one left alone... so I decided to leave my lair and find a way to stop this....

That's it, I found it! In the ruins of an ancient temple, I found a book that can save the world! Somewhere in the mountains, far the the north, there is something that can bring life back to the world. Unfortunately, the dark creatures found me and no matter how many I killed, more kept coming. I grabbed the book and decided to run for it, but in my haste, I stupidly fell into a trap I had spotted on my way in.... The fall was painful... I'd say 60 feet.. maybe more... but my leg is broken and moving havent been an option...

I've been here for a week... I have nothing to eat... nothing to drink...

Welcome to my D&D game. if you read the story above, you probably have a good idea of what kind of world I will be running. The world reached its peak and then it was the end.
The PCs will be part of a small band of survivors fighting for their life in a dead world. Ressources are rare, dark creatures and hunting anything alive during the night, and these mysterious tiefling hunters are taking away your friends one by one as the weeks go by. But just recently, someone in your band found the journal of an elf who died not so long ago. This jounral talks about a way to save this world and bring life back to the land.
I'm looking to start the game with about 4 PC. I will probably take the 4 first applications, but I may choose a different PC if I really love the concept.
For the game itself
Starting level: 2
Attributes: point buy 25
Starting Gold: 100gp
Races and classes;
anything from the Players handbook, player's guide to forgotten realms, artificer, warforged, gnolls.
Tieflings are very badly viewed by most at this point, while dragonborn are usually slaughtered on sight. Humans seem to have be the favored target of the "hunters", but they take anyone away, never to be seen again.
other stuff;
The hunters created a new weapon, the Eldritch cannon. To keep it simple, think of a large gun that fire magic.
Eldritch Cannon (superior ranged weapon)
Proficiency bonus +2
Damage 1d12
Range: 10/20
cost: 100gp
type: Arcane
Players are welcome to create new feat, powers, or rituals. I will review them and then either accept or reject them.
please post you character concept and character sheet here.
if you have any question, feel free to ask. I will add more information later.
Characters:
Lukas, Drow Rogue (atanatotatos)
Limitz Oakstaff, Human Wizard (Voda Vosa)
Tragar Hunderstanner, Dwarven Artificer (Stonegod)
Solaris Corthollion , Elven Ranger (Renau1g)
Benedict, Half-Elf Paladin (Zweischneid)
so, I guess we have our team. I'll give you guys a few days to finalise your characters, or change anything you want. (actually, its mostly to give me time to work my stuff some more but shhhh, its a secret)
if you guys want to discuss about how your characters met each others and other details like that, that's the time. But you just need to remember that you will start togheter, so maybe you spent some years togheter, or maybe just a few days. It will start in an underground hideout under a large city, regrouping only 2 dozens of survivors or so only.
