[QUOTE="Kashell, post: 1680272, member: 21398"] Actually yes indeed it is. It's a long story, but I've got the time. I actually wrote this out as a campaign and after our group played out the first chapter of our campaign we took a long break. During that break, I DMed 4 sessions worth of this and told this exact story. Before our campaign actually starts, Kashell and Karen are monks at the monestery of Rae....most know him as, "Master Rae". It is a HUGE monestery, consisting of room for 450 denizens, 400 beings monks, 50 being servants. Master Rae knew his monks well. He knew that most of them had inner desires to do other things with their lives. So instead of indulging them directly, he created a huge library, a fount of knowledge, in the monestery. The monestery itself was created by dwarves via stonework. The gate however is just made of finely made wood. The monestery is high up in the mountains of the west. An approach to the monestery on foot might take a week's travel from the base of the mountain, or 2 days travel on a small trail that goes through the mountains to the monestery gate. Despite it's size it is a relitively unknown monestery. However, the students there range from low to mid level monks.(In other words, tons of level 1 monks, some "level 2 monks" and a dozen or so level 5 monks or higher. Master Rae himself is an epic level character.) The characters in the monestery aren't all monks nessisarly. Specifically the level 2 monks are multiclass characters.(Karen is one of these, a level 1 monk level 1 bard). Bards tend to be the favorable multiclass here, but there are also clerics and paladins. There is also a level 6 monk/2 swashbuckler character(Who is noticeable by his big French accent, hat, and smoking pipe.) In the session, all of the characters began on the day of the feast of the moon. (Tsukue O Mimasu) They are all allowed to be level 2 characters, but they have to at least have 1 level in monk. They get negatives if they multiclass with anything besides bard, paladin, and cleric. (Although I did an evil DM trick and didn't tell them that they would get negatives to their rolls...just that bards, paladins, and clerics did well here. ;) ) All of the monks make it on time to the courtyard outside for morning meeting. The courtyard is the simple outside to the great hall...there is one ash tree here, and the ground is completely made of dirt(though somehow the dirt here feels like new carpet under the feet). ...And...I need to look at my DM notes to keep going on this story, LOL :D -Kash [/QUOTE]
