[ooc] Tethyr Campaign PbP - [6/6 Closed]

Greegan

First Post
Tethyr, Forgotten Realms, 3rd Level Level PC's, Primarily Humans, Halflings 20%, Elves negligible, Dwarves and Gnomes Uncommon.

Stats - 32pts
HP - 75%
Starting Money - 2,700gp

Basic Premise - Henchmen, Men-at-Arms and Followers of a Tethyrian Baron within the Duchy of New Shanatar -or- Nobility, tired of the slow life after the end of the Civil War.

Not hack-n-slash. More role-playing and intrigue. Will be a lot of urban environments. Would prefer players who are interested in advancing a storyline rather than focused on advancing their character.

*MY* Forgotten Realms is approaching something akin to a Renaissance. Trade and the Merchant class grow nearly as rich as the nobility and in many cases the nobility begins to wane in influence. Smoke powder is a powerful commodity and the Hegemony of Lantan has grown strong with it's sale of the stuff.

With that, knights and heavily armored calvary have seen their hayday pass them by. While still present to this day, they are not as feared and respected when their vulnerability to firearms becomes well known. Fops begin to replace knights and pistols begin to replace the longsword.....

BEGIN, being the operative word. One is just as likely, on the streets of Darromir, to see a sword-weilding knight as they are a pistol toting swashbuckler.

Story and background a must.

I am beginning a RW Game in Tethyr soon involving the Duchy of Shanatar (a Duchy I created as a result of the end of the Civil War in Tethyr) and the Duke of said Duchy. Check out the setup here

I would like to run this game to basically flesh out some of the other happenings in the campaign while the Characters are doing other things. These scenes will essentially parallel my RW campaign (played once every two weeks).

Scene 1 (3rd Levelers - 6) - Barony of Avery. Players are responsible for errands for the Sheriff; often as spies, liasons, runners, scouts or similar important, but sometimes tedious missions.

4/6 Spots

Scene 1
Tailspinner - Paladin of Tyr
Festy_Dog - Druid
Acid_crash - Half-Orc Sorcerer
flyingricepaddy - Monk of Tyr
Verbatim - Priest of Waukeen
Thels - 1/2 Elven Bard

Decided to drop the 10th level scene for now due to the fact that we're not even filling the 3rd level yet.

Interested placeholder number 2 right here.

Scene 1, Half-Orc

What is the situation like for magic users in Tethyr?
edited: took out the question, added scene preference, added different question.

Tethyr is north of Calimshan and south of Amn :D

If you are familiar with PC gaming products, it goes Waterdeep (northern most to South), Baldur's Gate, Amn, Tethyr then Calimshan; all of which are along the Sword Coast.

Tethyr has been involved in a Civil War for several decades and only recently have they come to a truce.
 

If you are interested, please post a place holder character here according to which "scene" you'd like to be in within the campaign; either the 3rd or the 10th level scene.

I say "scene" meaning that it'll be exactly that. Adventures within the same, contemporary campaign, acting independently of each other but advancing as one story.

These two 'scenes' will be in two different threads.

If you need more information on what, how or where to create a PC, let me know.
 



What is the situation like for magic users and half-orcs in Tethyr? I am leaning towards a Half-Orc magic user of some kind, if only to be a little different.
