Call to the Four Lands

[Neurotic]

Separate discussion threads

I think separate threads would be better. There is notify feature on page change so we can all get updated with only those we select.

I will create a cohort ASAP, it is spellthief female, Freda Sandblade from desert (is there a map of Four Lands on-line? Are there any true deserts?). Her weapon(s) would be kukri and hand crossbow. Her usual use of steal spell ability is to have allied casters cast personal spells on themselves and then take over...with permission of course. She is mage-slayer just as Randal is, hence initial attraction...

Could any of dwarven casters create belt of dwarven kind? I'll write up mesh hooks for dwarven characters they can then select if they want to share history.

Neurotic,

There's a map of the Four Lands on the Wiki. It's in 'The Four Lands' section.

Pandak cannot create the Belt of Dwarvenkind - he's got the spell, just not the caster level (he's only an 11th level Wizard). He'll be happy to cast the spell if Conrad doesn't have it and will create the belt for you, though.

Neurotic & Mowgli,

Conrad has no trouble creating the Belt. The spell is a staple of clerics. I am hoping to get Pandak to permanize the Tongues spell for Conrad eventually. Clerics don't get that primary spells to make those personal enhancements last. have to wait to use Miracle and hope the Deity agrees that it is needed before a cleric can permanize anything. :-(

I have never been fan to permanent spells...the idea of sacrificing xp and then getting the spell dsipelled makes me shudder. Although I have no problem in using tons of xp-using spells, like limited wish and so on.

Belt of dwarven kind

Can we then agree that pair of renowned dwarven crafters created Belt of dwarven kind and adamantine (oh, blasphemy) studded leather armor for human who helped their company of Bright Axes revitalize an old silver (mithril?) mine?

The company lead by two most prominent rangers today (Pandak Kaswitikan and Conrad Ironstar) entered the mines and found them protected by a spell to forbid entrance to dwarves. While rangers attempted to bring the field down, human protected them from harpy song. Once protection fell it was hard for company fighting flying foes, but eventualy they prevailed, another human, intense girl not yet full twenty winters, killed their sorcerous leader in pair with their famous scout and sorcerer Pandak Kaswitikan.

Works for me! Draco?

Okay dwarves and such......i am going to allow that backstory but that is about the extent...dwarves would not under almost any circumstance allow humans access to their mining regions etc...so this would have to be a very very rare occurence and the fact that a human was able to penetrate that far into the dwarven homeland and be allowed to leave alive even more so.....

FYI: after the creation of the belt, the dwarves would consider the debit setteled and owe nothing more to the human........

 

[Dracomeander]

Apparently JA has put his stamp of approval on it so who am I to say no. I was going to bring up the points JA mentioned, but it works for a tie in, I guess.

One change though if you can stand it. Conrad would not use Adamantine in such an inferior style of armor. If the recipient was allowed an armor of Adamantine, the lightest he would work would be an Adamantine Chain Shirt.

Dwarves

Conrad is right about the admatine....and i dont think the other dwarves would allow a human to leave with either adamatine or mithril...so your going to have to choose another metal..........remember how the dwarves coveted mithril in the LOTR and it would be even worse with adamatine....no dwarve would willing surrender either metal into the hands of a human...

Aeric of Greyfern didn't make the cut as a Druid and Ranger type if not out and out ranger and has been replaced by Alvar Escobedo Swashbucker12/Bard9/Human Paragon3. If you happen to look over the new character and think 'Conquistador' you are on the right track. Apologies to Neurotic for cutting in on the Bard action, but he's only a 9th level Bard and the two characters don't have too much else in common beyond a really high Charisma. We took very different design paths. We only took one spell in common other than cantrips. Anyway, with Alvar I tried to bring some melee power to the party, but still be useful to the Colony when we aren't fighting.
