Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. ( CLOSED. )

[TwistedMindInc]

I have a feeling you're going to get a lot of interest out of this.

I hope so. I like when there is a good turn out.

 

[Jemal]

You know, I've been gaming for over a decade and I've never even SEEN the temple..
Count me in.

Ideas : Too many: Warlock, Halfling Slinger, Noble Knight, Anti-heroic Monk/Fighter (Batman style), etc... I'm on a break from work right now, I'll be back after work... Just wanted to get my voice in here as "interested"

Edit** Oops, just saw the descendant clause. I need to rework my concept, as I'm pretty sure there wasn't a kobold involved in the previous ToEE.

So, still thinking rogue/trapsmith.
Githelsnick Trapwise, a gnome of a careful nature, spent his childhood hearing about his older brother Dimrall's "great accomplishments" (picture the eye-roll, please) saving the human town of Hommlet. Sure, his brother came back with a new air of confidence, and a large sack of treasure, but deep inside Gith knew he was better and smarter than Dimrall. He knew that if half of the stories Dim told were true that he wouldn't have survived. Besides, what use would his brother's lute possibly be in such a place?
Convinced that the story is exaggeration, Gith started to wonder exactly how his brother had made all of that money, and he figured he should head out and do some "adventuring" himself. He packed up his tools and his crossbow and he left the family burrow to seek fame and fortune (and personal satisfaction regarding his brother's ridiculous claims) among the taller folk, promising himself that he would one day venture all the way to Hommlet, just to discover the truth.

Well, I would love to play temple, but first I would need to clear that I have started temple twice but never made it far. Both games died... and it pisses me off as really what to know what the heck is going on there. ;-)

If that is okay then conceptually would like to play something from the tome of battle, book of nine swords. Probably swordsage but not sure yet... If not a rouge / incarnium user I think. LMK and I will do a bg

I'd love to play. I know my postcount is low but I've been playing D&D for 15 years or so and would love a crack at the Temple.

Thinking a human knight (PHB2), the son of Caris the Stubborn, a sorceror who helped destroy the original temple. I'm thinking up ways to involve a dark family secret that helps explain why my character is absolutely determined to destroy the temple again. Something along the lines of--Caris took something (possibly not an item, possibly a skill or knowledge) from the original temple that should have never been allowed to see the light of day, and somehow contributed to the temple's return (or at least, Caris and his family believe it did). Caris is dead, however, so it falls to his children to remove the black mark on the family name.

There's also room to have a sibling or cousin, possibly an arcane caster (since sorcery does run in the family) if anyone else wants to write that into their background.

All right. As far as submissions go we have:

Human Knight
Swordsage or Rogue/Incarnium
Gnome Rogue/Trapsmith
Warlock or Halfling Slinger or Monk
Barbarian ( I think?)
Human Monk
Azurin Totemist
Half-elf Druid
Human Cleric of St. Cuthbert
Human Paladin of St. Cuthbert
Half-elf Rogue
Human Bardic Sage
Elven Fighter

None of these are set in stone - as you can see most people have given possible ideas. Several at that. Keep the character concepts coming, don't forget to do up the backgrounds as characters will be picked on decent backgrounds and what niches I need to fill. For example - I'm probably going to fill the main categories .. a fighter type, a magic user, a healer, and a rogue. Probably. Of course, this depends on submissions.

Neurotic - I was confused just a wee bit by your character concept. How can he be Dwarven and an earth genasi? Either or is fine .. I just don't think you can be both.

Serin Dajeep, a half-elf Rogue, My mother was an elf. My father was a human rogue (one of the ToEE guys), he was killed by a deadly magical trap set by an elf out of jealousy to his interracial marriage to his childhood sweetheart. After my fathers death, the Elf who killed him managed to charm my mother to marry him, and then banished me, to live a life of taking what I can, and giving much less back. Having not been part of a family for some time now, it would be good to meet up with a group that would accept me for who I am, and try to stake my place in the "brotherhood".

Posting would not be a problem for me.
I played a couple other ones that peetered out, and I finally came back to see what is new.
I would be considered "new" at this, but not to D&D. I had the old red paperback basic set way back when. My play has been off-and-on lets call it.

Ahh, I am jealous -- I had wanted to play RttTOEE quite badly -- and recently joined another PbP already underway in this module.

Timing is everything! Good luck to those who get picked!

Eric the Gray a Chapeaux of St. Cuthbert whose son Sir Eric the Younger a Paladin of the Church of Cuthbert died while battling the demon and collapsing the Temple.
Rumours of evil stirring once again has brought the Taciturn Priest to the area to make sure his son's death was not in vain.
==================================================

Yeah okay so he is not a descendent, but I think this may have the flavor and hook you were looking for. If not let me know and I can switch things up.

He is a Human Cleric

Frallim

I'm mighty interested. I love Greyhawk, and I've played through the original ToEE back in my youth. I can easily post once (if not more) per day.
How's this?

FRALLIM KORS, human paladin of St. Cuthbert.

Hailing from Furyondy, Frallim has always felt an immense sense of guilt because of his father's dubious achievements. Kallis Kors left his wife and infant son to seek adventure and mischief to the south, and found both in an ancient temple in the Gnarley Forest. Kallis was an amoral sort, and used duplicity, light fingers, and sneakthievery to assist his adventuring partners in ridding the temple of evil. Looking back on his father's deeds, Frallim can forgive his father's actions as a means to a greater end, but when Kallis returned to his small village in Furyondy, he wanted nothing to do with his family, now that he had such vast wealth. In one of many heated arguments with his wife about his son's future, Kallis used more force than was necessary, and killed her accidentally. Frallim's father was hanged as a murderer.

Frallim was raised entirely by a good-hearted priest of St. Cuthbert in the village's church, who nurtured Frallim's desire for revenge and justice against people like his father. Dedicating his life to the church, Frallim took up his mace and headed south, determined to vindicate the Kors name.
