OOC: Temple of Elemental Evil: Dim_Darknight

[Old Fezziwig]

That would work just fine for me, Juggernaut. And, if we're all from different places, it brings in a slight amount of tension into the party dynamics — even if we're good-aligned or have good reason to trust the group, our running buddies would still be thieves and worshippers of Olidammara.

Wealth - 20 silver

Egoz quickhands born in Highfolk to a big family, they trade in Antiques
And moved from place to place, when he was quite grown up he stayed in Verbobonc and his family continued to Veluna. Most of his life he grew in Verbobonc, learning the history of the place and there were enough places in the area to hunt for treasures and magic stuff for trading.
He especially loved to go adventuring in the Gnarly forest and the Kron hills.
But he didn't delve too much inside those places, for a little Halfling this places was dangerous to travel alone.
Now he is staying in the Inn of the welcome wench, waiting for opportunity to adventure again.
Ocaasionaly he goes to the small Olidammara shrine outside town to pray for luck,there he met other worshiping folks that stay in this small village.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Idea.

As for your idea regarding Olidammara, Egoz worship her.
We can all meet outside town, Let's say there is a small shrine near a weak stream swampy river, where all the worshipers of Olidammara throw one silver coin in the holy day for luck.
It's a well kept wooden shrine, known only to the her worshipers, by a special sign carved on a rock near the enterance to Hommlet.

Nonlethal Force:

What are the typical alignments for this module?

Any can work, although it is much easier to use good and neutral aligned characters.

Is this a group going in to cleanse the land? Or a group that just gets stuck in it before they realize what is going on?

I suppose it could be a little of both.

If you are unfamiliar with Greyhawk ... do you have a homebrew world that you are more familiar with? Would it not be easier for us to learn that homebrew world rather than for you to learn Greyhawk?

I am actually working on a homebrew, but it is too restrictive and incomplete for ToEE to work in it.
I am concerned about messing up on minor Greyhawk characters that are in the area and misstating distances and directions. None of this will damage the module itself (unless I do something very, very stupid).

That's a cool idea. It's okay with me, assuming everyone else follows Olidammara or at least pays him lip-service.

he is staying in the Inn of the welcome wench

Do you mind if I ask the source of your knowledge about the establishments in Hommlet? It seems that I have seen the inn mentioned elsewhere but I have forgotten where and why.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Okay ... the role of cleric and rogue are taken in a group of Olidammara.

I'll try to have a concept of some type of arcanist up by tonight. Although, I won't be able to work on it for about 8 hours ... so if someone else comes along and wants that slot, I can come up with another concept certainly. If so, please say so and when I get on later tonight I'll check this thread before creating a character.

Note - I hope sorcerers are okay. I typically prefer spontaneous casters to book wizards.

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Do you mind if I ask the source of your knowledge about the establishments in Hommlet? It seems that I have seen the inn mentioned elsewhere but I have forgotten where and why.

I was a DM in the Greyhawk campaign since it was AD&D - for more than 15 years.
So My knowledge in Greyhawk is quite big.
As for The inn of the welcome wench, it was the only inn in Hommlet since the first rise of the temple, if you played the PC game "Temple of Elemental evil" (second rise of the temple)you surely can remember the inn of the welcome wench, even in the new 3rd edition model
"The return to ...." (3rd. rise of the temple) you can see in the book they mention the inn.

If you have any Q regarding Greyhawk ... you can ask me.
although my nick name is Strahd (because I played Ravenloft too)

 

[Old Fezziwig]

I've finished Tem, and I'd love to hash out some ideas on how he got to be out with y'all — I tried to make him mobile enough to get him in with just about any group of characters.

 

[silentspace]

I'm interested!

I'd like to try a halfling druid, taking the first level racial substitution level from Races of the Wild. Maybe focusing on lance combat with his riding dog animal companion. He's really adventurous, and is drawn to Hommlet by the lure of adventure.

 

[Juggernaut]

Lenwë Telrúnya

When most people think of elves they think of noble, honorable, magic using humanoids. However when one describes the Clan Telrúnya these words would most likely be far from their thoughts. Dispicable, dishonest, theiving, back-stabbing, sneaky, double-crossing, good for nothing have all become synonomous with this Elven family. Lenwë Telrúnya, the youngest of 13 children born to Elrohir and Silmarwen Telrúnya, witnessed many things from which a young elf such as he should have been sheltered. Murder by his brother, murder of 3 of his brothers, rape of his sister, arrest of his parents and 2 sisters, execution of 3 sisters and 2 brothers, death of his eldest brother in a duel, many thefts and scams by his older siblings... just to name some of the many.

Determined to better his luck and do better than the rest of his family, Lenwë decided to pay more than just lip service to Olidammara. He decided that by being a devout worshipper of the Laughing God he would live a longer and more prosperous life.

His home temple is in the sewers of the City of Greyhawk. Here he often runs an auction of stolen goods that he, his friends, or his few remaining live and free family members gather from around the city.

Lenwë has run many quests in the name of Olidimmara. He has done everything from robbing the rich, to breaking criminals out of prisons, to raiding temples of other Deities. He has also run quite a few adventures just to fill his pockets. He had recently heard of a stir in the Hommlet area and was headed in that direction when he ran across the beaten body of a human (Tem) on the outskirts of the City of Verbonc. The human was rather small and frail almost Elven in size as he was not much bigger than Lenwë himself. Lenwë tended to the human's wounds as he recognized the human from an occassinal visitor to his temple in Greyhawk. He invited the human to join him on a short trip down the way to a shrine to the Laughing God. (Maybe there someone can tell you more about your "box"... If Tem told Lenwë about the box)
