Alright, I've got session 1a of the current campaign written up, I'll post more later in the week. This friday will be session 4.
The setting is a home brew of my own, with a few ideas stolen from other people
I'll post more on the actual setting shortly, both here and on the website. The most interesting feature is the Escarpment, which protects them from outside invasion. It was raised by a God several thousand years ago.
There are four PCs, they are:
Char - Fire Genasi Psion (meta creative). Very few social skills, she grew up in a cult out in the plains on the other side of the escarpment. They had locked her in the top floor of a tower, to tend the sacred flame that used to be her mother. She has had very little human contact until recently, when Linus the Excessive convinced her to run away with him. Char dresses in flashy, if clashing colours, not knowing any better. She tends to be blunt and has a tendancy to play with flame a little too much for the comfort of those around her.
Linus the Excessive - Tiefling Wizard. A widower of some 60 years. He had married young, (wand point wedding - he got the girl pregnant). To support his young family, Linus chose accountancy since he was skilled with numbers. Years passed, his children grew up and left, his wife died. Linus was prepared to die, when he realized that he still felt young. Not terribly young, but young none the less. He did some research into his family, and found a legend passed down through the years, about a demon in his family Lineage. Surmising that he had quite a few years left, Linus sold most of his possessions and attended a prestigious Wizards Accademy. While travelling in the plains he encountered the cult Char was raised by, and freed her.
Allesan bar Tomasso - Human Bard. A student of the social arts, Allesan is the oldest son of a deposed noble family. Growing up, Allesan was told stories of his noble birthright and was told that he should “seek his own path to greatness”. However, what his parents had in mind for him and his own goals did not entirely match. At the age of 15 he was sent to a prestigious school for the gifted (Music, dance, etc. A boarding school for the rich). While there Allesan also picked up some more ... useful ... talents while developing his superb acting ability. Allesan has a generally lighthearted outlook on life, but shows signs of deadly seriousness at times. Occasionally, Allesan does some freelance work, most recently for Linus the Excessive.
Elidren bar Mearo - Human Druid. It has often been said that someone can be "too smart for their own good." What many people do not reaslize is that one can be too WISE for their own good. Elidren is one such person. While a rather intellegent and charismatic young man, he can become quite fanatical over what he "knows" to be true in his heart--Whether it means planting a few trees. . .or burning a forest to the ground. Best friend of Allesan's youngest brother and son of the ruling council's advisor on magical components, his family walks a tightrope of conformity.
