[QUOTE="Selm, post: 62145, member: 1592"] [b]Introduction of the Player Characters[/b] [b]Selm' Return to the Temple of Elemental EVIL[/b] [i]DD3 campaign started in september 2001[/i] Yet another Return campaign ... I've played the first one some years ago with some of the players of this campaign for which I'm the DM. It was deadly but a lot of fun and I must say it wasn't hard to find players for the sequel ... We are playing two times a month in average, and each Episode of this story hour is a live game session. This is not a pbem campaign so the flow is perhaps less regular than other story hours, but it will last at least until the end of this year. And now the cast, 7 Characters for 7 Players : [i](DM note: I will track the level changes from time to time, this is the Pcs at the beginning of the story)[/i] [b][i]Alahija[/i][/b] - Half Elf - Female - Rog2/Sor2 - CG - daughter of the Viscount Langard of Verbobonc [b][i]Ezekiel[/i][/b] - Human - Male - Clr4 of Kord - CG - has fought in the great crusade against Iuz [b][i]Killashalandilis[/i][/b] - Human - Female - Pal4 of Mayaheine - LG - knight attempting the entry into the Knights of the Hart [b][i]Lywen Selinker[/i][/b] - Human - Male - Wiz4(Transmuter) - NG - apprentice of Kerzalyn, the royal mage of Furyondy [b][i]Diane Derwyn[/i][/b] - Human - Female - Fig2/Rog2 - CG - reluctant bodyguard of Lywen [b][i]Gandigoot[/i][/b] - Gnome - Male - Rng4 - CG - trader and hunter of the greatest Kron Hills gnome town [b][i]Rousing Fox[/i][/b] - Human - Male - Mnk4 - LN - came from Veluna, linked to the Rao church All this story started by a message sent by Rufus (leader of Hommlet) to viscount Langard of Verbobonc. This message informed him that troubles were starting near Hommlet and that humanoids were once again rousing in the nearby temple. Rufus asked the help of Langard for investigating those matters. But Langard is now in a difficult political situation, a lot of the Verbobonc nobles are still not trusting him and he must pose as a good ruler for his viscounty. He decided to ask help from Furyondy and to send his own daughter to Hommlet. At least he could have confidence in her. During this time, Brune, the friend of Rufus and prime wizard of Hommlet was also asking help from Kerzalyn, an old friend of him and the royal mage of Furyondy. Brune and Y'dey (the Canoness of StCuthbert in Hommlet) were encountering difficulties to scry in the future concerning the Temple (as they were doing for several years). They saw strange anf frightfull images and concluded that something was up with the Temple of Elemental Evil. Kerzalyn was part of the Emridy Meadows battle, the first rousing of the Temple in 569CY, and he was very concerned by a potential reborn of the Temple of Elemental Evil. His own apprentice, Lywen was sent to Hommlet with the help of Diane, has protection for his precious apprentice. In fact Kerzalyn lost his previous apprentice during the war and was quite protective towards this young fellow :) Diane, promoted Lywen bodyguard, was a young noblewoman from Chendl indepted to Kerzalyn for a small magical service some years ago. She is a competent duelist and quite learned in history. Belvor IV, king of Furyondy received the letter from viscount Langard. The Temple has always been a real danger and Belvor decided to send help (especially as his son, Thrommel, could be a prisonner from the temple since 573). But once again political difficulties in Furyondy prevented the king to send the Knights of Furyondy in an offical mission. The war was still going on the frontier with Iuz. And it will be ill considered if the King chose to help another country against an "imaginary" threat rather than defend his own kingdom. So two young people were secretly sent, not known by politicians and devoted to the cause of good and Furyondy. The first was Killashalandilis, a young knight from Crystalreach (a region of Furyondy), it was her test to enter the Knights of the Hart. The second was Ezekiel, a wolf nomad priest of Kord serving in the Furyondian army since the great crusade in 586, his hate for humanoids and his devotion to the cause of goodness were assured. Gandigoot is a gnome of Tulwar, the greatest gnome city in the Kron Hills, he works as a guide for merchants in the Hills. The caravan he was protecting was recently attacked by gnolls near Hommlet. He stayed in Hommlet to warn other caravans of the threat when the other gnomes were going back to Tulwar. Rousing Fox is a monk, he comes from a monastery near Mytrick in Veluna. His blood was a little too hot for a monastery of Rao and his master sent him on a travel to find wisdom. Try to do goodness around you, said his master to Rousing Fox ... and so the young monk was on the roads, travelling towards east and fabulous Greyhawk City. And so started this story, in the end of spring, in year 591CY ... ... soon ... ----------------------------------------------------------- Episode ONE - The Start of the Story (All good ToEE stories must start at the Inn of the Welcome Wench) [/QUOTE]
