The adventure idea was inspired by the book “Eaters of the Dead” by Michael Crichton so having read this novel may give some insight as to what is ahead. The adventure does have a Norse feel to it and characters with Norse-like names and backgrounds are encouraged. However, like the book a foreigner would work well too.Try and add a character hook as to why you would travel North to help King Rothgar. Did he assist your family at one point? Are you a neighbour of Rothgar’s lands? Did one of his son’s do a favour for your father?The campaign world is a homebrew known as Mannheim. In the Northlands the pantheon is a copy of the Norse Pantheon (Multiple Pantheons rule lands elsewhere). Also the Northlands are patriarchal, meaning that women hold low station. Keep this in mind if you choose to play a female hero.House Rules:We will not be using a battlemap, or a grid or any similar tools. Any maps you make will be your own and will be your responsibility. If a description is unclear on my part, ask me to clarify and I'll gladly do so.We will be using almost no Attacks of Opportunity, other than moving through an enemy's space or casting spells within melee range.Initiative order is based on how fast you post: By the time I return to the post to add the enemy's action during combat, anyone who posted will be going first and in the order that they posted. If you didn't get there before me (and I will be allowing a few hours between combat posts, except when everyone has already posted), then your action will take place after the enemy's. This isn't intended to penalize people who get busy in their offline lives, but it's to encourage people to check regularly. Empty placeholder posts don't count as posts, although posts consisting of readying an action do.I will do all the rolling and post successes and failures, along with a running damage tally.Posting:I'm looking for everyone to post at least once a day on weekdays and to try and post at least once every weekend and at least every other day during the thick of the holidays.We are playing by Iron Heroes rules (as modified in the House Rules above), creativity counts. If you come up with a cool way to describe what your character is doing or you come up with a clever solution to a problem (including in combat), it will result in a bonus.If you want to use colored dialogue for your character, as per ENWorld convention, please make sure it reads clearly on a dark background. This isn't a paper for English class, but use whole words in all posts.</blockquote>
