[Recruitment][PBP] Nightmares Campaign

[Paragon Badger]

What would be ironic is if a specialized wizard came in and dominated Melvos even with all those saves. (Spell Focus, Greater Spell Focus, etc)

Bah! Any intelligent villian knows that those Paladin type are pains in the arse to dominate . A much more effective strategy involves numerous ray spells or just dominating a weak willed party member that those goody-goody paladin-types just loath to attack. Also never underestimate the power of a well-placed battle ax

Think I only need 2 more people to post their stats in the Rogue's Gallery.

Dreams

Skree!! Sniktch is getting very angry at SQL errors!

Oh well, looks like an interesting concept for a game Badger, I look forward to checking in on the action. I'm kind of sorry I just found this forum today.

Anyway, you mentioned in a previous post that you were looking for different dream ideas. I just posted a short story I wrote in the story hour page about a dream, you can see it at http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26561. It was partially inspired by Lovecraft and his dream cycles; hopefully you'll find it entertaining and maybe it will give you some ideas for your game.

 

[Paragon Badger]

Sniktch, I just read your story and have to say that is a great story in the Lovecraftian vein. Being a Lovecraft fan myself I have to say that story is very well-done. You really got the knack for suggesting something and letting your mind fill in the rest like Lovecraft does so often. Is there anywhere else you have stories posted online? I be interesting in reading more if you have any posted somewhere.

As for ideas I have to say a great idea struck me while reading your story about why the villian(s) are invading people's dreams. I'm completely changing the villian structure based on this idea. I won't say much, but it gave me an idea that takes the plot from one madman's ploy to a much more epic evil plot.

Thanks for the post I really enjoyed it.

If the initial setup is just roleplaying (introducing each other etc), perhaps we can start first while I finish up the character...

 

[Paragon Badger]

I was actually going to post the setup today then I went and forgot my notes at home. I don't get home from class until 8 pm soooo maybe tomorrow. Here's what I can tell you.

[COLOR=sky blue]The starting location will be in Silverymoon, unless you have other plans. You all came to Silverymoon about the posting and visited the temple of Selune. They give you sketchy details about the mission and ask you to give them the name of where in Silverymoon you are staying. They said you'll be contacted by messanger if your employment is accepted. Based on this give me an idea of where you wish to start and who you are with (if characters already know each other).[/COLOR]

If you need ideas for a place to start The Golden Oak and The Inn of the Wayward Sages are inns in Silverymoon. The Bright Blade Brandished, The Dancing Goat, The Hammer and the Helm, and Helmer's Well are taverns. If you want more info I can post it or all the info on the locations can be found in Volo's Guide to the North (p. 176-178) which can be downloaded for free at the WotC site.

I'll be create new posts for game and OOC stuff but post your starting locations here.

Thank you, Badger

Your praise means a lot to me. I'm happy to see the story had the effect I was aiming for, and glad I could give your DM mind some wicked and nasty ideas

No, believe it or not, that was the first thing I had written in several years. I wrote constantly in high school but after that I've had to overcome inner demons and the like, get my life back in order, so to speak, before I could express myself creatively again. I do have another Story Hour I started about City of the Spider Queen, and I have been writing a lot more since I made my break through with "Despair..."

I'll certainly let you know when I have another 'finished' work if you'd like. I'm on a reading binge right now and probably won't complete any of the fragments I've started until I plow through the pile of books by my bed. Look forward to seeing how your story unfolds in this thread.

Nicely done Sniktch. I shudder to think of the ways in which Badger has been inspired...

Dorn has been in Silvverymoon for a while, and I stay at the Golden Oak. As a long time dwarf-friend, I'm often found in the Hammer and the Helm.

(If Sean Reaver has been in the North a while, he and I might be aware of each other. I would think he and I would disapprove of each others' methods; I'm a kick-in-the-front-door type, and he looks like a back door man, but we could have respect for each others' success. I'm reasonably sure Dorn wouldn't know the others.)

PS

Nazgrel would likely try to find any local Nobanion worshiping folk. Since he's a half-orc barbarian/druid who's spent several years with wemics, you could say he's not real sure about city life, and is looking for something or someone familiar.

 

[drs]

Sean isn't really a 'back door man', in all reality he is more of an ambush-hide-ambush type o' guy, Mel Gibson 'Patriot' style . Still your point about respecting each others success is a good one. So it's agreed, Dorn and Sean will have known each other, let's say it's been so for... two weeks?

Sean has as well, been staying at the Golden Oak (That could be where we first met, Dorn). He spends his free time perusing the many shops of Silverymoon, and once every couple of days he practices with his firearms just outside of the city.

Oh btw, great read Sniktch.

Here we go!

I have decided to make my cohort a cleric of Nobanion. What domains are available. I only have PHB, DMG and MM.

Jonas, Clairborne and the followers are in their camp located on a parcel of land on the outskirts of Sileverymoon. The followers have all set up to ply their trades and Jonas and Claiborne are busy trying to make new friends. It would be very easy to have other followers of Nobanion in camp (or met in town) as they would be welcomed with open arms.

I will post stats for the war horse and cohort when I get the domain info. Let the fun begin
