D&D 5E [INTEREST CHECK] The Curse of Amberstar

[Archon Basileus]

No, it was perfect, [MENTION=6776182]JustinCase[/MENTION]! It made it easier to know where Aanzu was engaged! I spent the day working on this thing here and got distracted when I posted hehe! Apologies!

Are you still taking? Didn't read further than the first page, so I have to read some 15 pages for details, but just to know if there is still space open.

I hope I don't need extra introductions? I don't mind being a reserve.

 

[Archon Basileus]

Yup, you're welcome to the mix, as always, man!

 

[Neurotic]

Excellent. Since we have no rogue or spec arcana and I already play sorcerer in another adventure and I detest wizards fiddlines , I'll make an alchemist - NOT gunsmith, but real alchemist - the one who tinkered with an old machine, tweaked this and that and got it running, than running away in fear If [MENTION=8858]hafrogman[/MENTION] agrees to have minor link with my character - no control, no slavery, just tinkerer who got in over his head

Depends on how long ago you were activated of course.
[MENTION=6855545]Archon Basileus[/MENTION], this link provides explicit and somewhat balanced prices as starting point.

It still has problems, such as scimitar of speed being less costly than +3 scimitar, but that is a feature of the game.

Basic chassis is done (see it in RG).

Alchemist gets two items for free - I chose Bag of holding for one, probably wand of secrets of the other (rogue in the party)
I will spend 250gp to get proficiency in stealth

List of items (mostly uncommon, mostly utility stuff ) - in order of priority:

Stone of Good Luck
Pipes of Haunting
Cloak of the Bat
Pearl of Power


In no particular order:
Bag of Tricks (Tan)
Circlet of Blasting
Decanter of Endless Water
Element Gem - Summons Earth Elemental (because - swirfneblin)
Eyes of Minutes Seeing - Advantage on Investigation
Mariners Armor
Ring of Mindshielding
Ring of Swimming or Ring of water walking
Rope of Climbing


I know it's a lot, but it just gives you lot more to play with - once you get to 2000gp, just stop
I would not mind even if you reshuffle "big four" - just give what makes sense, I'll make do.

Short story:
- deep under the dutchy there is svirfneblin civilization of three cities in tight labyrinth of tunnels where they lived and prospered. Until such time as the earthquake collapsed some tunnels, damaged others and opened rifts into their midst. After initial furor an investigators team was created because diviners said it came from above, from the surface.

Equipped with items for communication, trained in stealth (even if they weren't before) three emissaries started the mission...

Plates of runed metal click and fold apart on his left shoulder, and a small tube emerges. Thicker than a wand, and maybe only half as long as a normal one, it had an open end that swiveled around to face the Faircloak 'rogue.'

Seriously Icosa just became a predator in my head.

 

[Shayuri]

Hehehe, that was a little bit of the inspiration, yeah. Blasts from hands are so 80's Transformer cartoons.

Neurotic...it seems to me that an artificer might have a background tie to a weird magic-tech robot perhaps?

 

[Neurotic]

Yes, that's the idea. And I get my own protector robot, but no sentience. One of the unanswered questions

 

[Shayuri]

Oh, I must have misunderstood, it looked like you were talking to Hafrogman about it. No reason you can't have ties to two characters though.

 

[Neurotic]

Yes, I was. For some reason I thought he had The Predator and you an elf. My bad. So, you were activated deep underground and somehow found your way up. How did you get there? Burried city, impact tremor that caused cracks? I'll get the story of a gnome Explorer going.
