Lost Vault of Tsazthar Rho - Organization/OOC Thread

[Sebastian O]

Cleric works for me, most likely human for race. I'll go for the somewhat traditional healer role. My first impulse for cleric domains are Healing and Knowledge.

Okay, great! Welcome aboard!

I don't think there is an assumed pantheon of deities for this game world, so if you want to use something from Greyhawk or FR, or even make up a deity, any of those would be fine.

Academus has left the thread. He's hanging out in the Rogue's Gallery now.

Once some completed character sheets start coming in, I'll review them and make any comments or corrections as needed.

Mark Chance, I'll wait until yours is further along before I look at it too closely, but it seems to be a good start.

Once character sheets start getting completed, I'll create a thread over in the Rogue's Gallery area to store them.

Guys,

I just downloaded Lost Vault of Tsathzar Rho from DriveThru RPG, so I'll start reading it over asap. If you have any questions regarding the setup or background for the adventure, just let me know and I'll be happy to answer.

...any questions regarding the setup or background for the adventure....

So, what's the setup or background for the adventure?

We start with maximum gold. Can some of this maximum gold be spent on affordable potions or scrolls?

 

[Voda Vosa]

Thats not fair Jemal always get great rolls and mine sucks XDD Anyway ill try my best with what i have

 

[Sebastian O]

Mark Chance: Sure, affordable magical or alchemical items will be fine with me.

As for the backstory, well, there isn't much of one. I will say that the adventure will begin with the party already assembled, so everyone should reflect that fact in their background. The adventure will begin with the party arriving at the small frontier hamlet of Hadler's Gap in search of adventure. From there, it won't be long before they head off to look for...well, I'll just keep that to myself for now. Basically, this thing is one giant dungeon crawl, though. Not a surprise, of course, but just so everyone knows...

Voda Vosa: Hey, the dice fall as they may. I think you can still make a decent character with those numbers, so do your best. And, hey, if your guy dies, you can always roll up a replacement.

I went ahead and created a Rogue's Gallery so you guys can work on character sheets over there.

That's a good template, Avalon.

Grrr on the stats, but I'll manage. Here's Guntrik, half-orc fighter.

[sblock=Guntrik]Abandoned at birth outside the Principality of Redhand in the Bandit Kingdoms, Guntrik was left to die and surely would have had he not looked so much like a pure bred orc. Believing he was of full orcish blood, Guntrik was taken in by a tribe of orcs from the nearby lands of Reyhu and raised as one of their own. Whatever weapon was placed in the growing half-orc's hands, he quickly mastered, though he came to favor the bastard sword and kite shield; or "sword and board" as he liked to call it. Even at a very young age, Guntrik was sent on raids with the rest of the tribe against the humans of Redhand.
Guntrik always knew he was somewhat different than the rest of the orcs, and had his own suspicions about his half-human origins. Though he lusted for battle like the orcs, he saw no reason for their aimless raids lacking in any strategy other than loot and burn. He eventually left the tribe unnanounced and joined a party of bandits that made a living commandeering large shipments of goods or occasionally attacking a town if something of particular value was suspected to be there. This life suited him for some time, but the orcs were not content with his abandonment of the tribe. They found him eventually, beating him within an inch of his life and pressing a red hot blade against the right side of his face that has left a wicked scar marking him a traitor amongst the Reyhu orcs. He was too weak to go on with the bandits, and they too abandoned him.
Miraculously, Guntrik recovered and left the Bandit Kingdoms forever. He knew it was no longer safe to stay there, nor was there anything there left for him even if it were safe to stay. He has since taken up the life of an adventurer, seeking wealth, fame, excitement, and companionship.[/sblock]
