Message: <blockquote data-quote="Schmoe" data-source="post: 2491581" data-attributes="member: 913">I always like to see interesting NPC's and groups.  Considering how much time it takes to come with them, I thought I would share a group from my campaign.  This group is statted out with NPC gear and (I think) 32 point buy.  My PC's are a little higher level (13-14th) and will meet them soon.The background stuff is pulled from my campaign, including a homebrew pantheon and a custom clerical sphere.  Let me know if you like this and if there's any interest in seeing more.The Dawn BringersThis is an adventuring band of close companions from the land of Turmay.  They have achieved widespread fame and fortune in their homeland, and their fame has spread to nearby countries, as well.  Their greatest success was in rescuing the heir to one of Turmay's most powerful noble houses from the clutches of an ancient vampire lord, Saddat.  They now work for the Crown Prince of Turmay, his eminent Prince Halcyon.  The group came to Talnorak escorting a diplomat Rushington, Dremus Forester.  The diplomat was to negotiate with Duke Blackthorne for a military treaty between Turmay and Talnorak against Proskur for the upcoming spring campaign, and to discuss the mysterious failing of the priesthoods.  When they arrived at Rushington, they found it was in a state of chaos.  Mobs ruled the streets, and serpent men lurked in the alleys.  After some undercover investigations, they discovered that the Duke had led some refugees into the mountains.  They followed the trail until they arrived here, only to discover that the Duke had marched to war nearly a week before.  They have spent several days here learning about what has been happening in Talnorak and trying to decide on their next course of action.The spokesman and leader of the Dawn Bringers is Loranthir, a renowned priest of Tyara, unusual in that he is one of the few males in the priesthood.Loranthir, Elf, Cleric 13 (Tyara), maleSirelanon, 1/2 Elf, Wizard 12, maleGwenaeli, Human, Sorcerer 6/Fighter 4/Eldritch Knight 3, femaleLurg Mondos, 1/2 Orc, Fighter 12, maleMia, 1/2 elf, Ranger 9/Rogue 3, femaleLurg Mondos1/2 Orc, Fighter 12HD: 12d10+39 (HP 115)Init: +1Speed: 20'AC: 24 (+1 Dex, +11 armor, +2 natural)BAB: +12Attacks: Greataxe +24/+19/+14 melee; Throwing Axe +14 ranged (10') or +20 meleeDamage: Greataxe 1d12+17, 19-20/x3; Throwing Axe 1d6+7, 20/x2Special: Darkvision 60', Orc Blood, Resistances (Fire 10)Saves: Fort +11  Ref +6  Will +5Abilities: Str 22 (24)  Dex 12  Con 14  Int 8  Wis 10  Cha 7Skills (15 Fighter): Jump +12 (+7), Climb +12 (+7), Swim +12 (+2)Feats: Weapon Focus – Greataxe, Weapon Specialization – Greataxe, Improved Critical – Greataxe, Power Attack, Cleave, Toughness, Improved Toughness, Greater Weapon Focus – Greataxe, Greater Weapon Specialization – Greataxe, Quickdraw, Hurling Charge (MiniHB), Close-quarters FightingEquipment (66k): Gauntlets of Ogre Power +2, +3 Cold Iron Greataxe, +3 Full Plate, Amulet of Natural Armor +2, Cloak of Resistance +1, 4 MW Throwing Axes, Minor Ring of Fire Resistance, Potions (Cure Crit.
