The Lamentation of Lolth - OoC I (Epic CotSQ Campaign)

[Brother Shatterstone]

I started late, I've only been in it a few months, but my character started out at ECL 12, I’ve haven’t been to the surface but others in the party are upon raids to the surface right now… I honestly think most of the game has been on the outskirts of the real adventure.

I honestly at the moment do not see any connection other than the title, as long as the game has been going on, 6th months, Endur's says we are only still in the first chapter...

If there is a serious connection I can separate player knowledge from character knowledge... My character in Endur's game, Kilcif, doesn't have a clue as to what's going on...

Ok, that sounds good. Since we're starting out at level 1 it'll be a bit before we get to the adventure anyway, we'll have some slightly unrelated adventures to run through first until we can get your levels up to where they should be. I would much prefer (as I'm sure all of you would as well) to see your characters grow from first level and have the relationships and bonds you will form grow from that point on. Jumping straight into a high level adventure with freshly created high level characters has never been my style.

Alright then. I'll close recruitment for the thread, and we can all work on getting our characters posted. I will be taking alternates though for any others still interested.

That at least should be new... There isn't much of a relationship when you’re playing the only non-drow in the party.


Anyone want to be siblings?

I'm probably in too many games so I was holding my tongue on this one, but I'd be psyched to play one in the underdark. Put me down as Alt 1. I'd prefer to start a fighter or a halfling druid. I'm a very regular poster. 7 times a week is my style. (or is it my pathetic excuse for a life?)

 

[Majin]

Aw don't feel bad, people with pathetic excuses for lives are the most dependable when it comes to these games! Seriously though, you are officially down as Alt. 1. Hopefully Manzanita, Thels gets our game up and running again or you'll have one less game to worry about, lol. He should be starting up again shortly if he's cleared everything up that was going on. I'll see you in that game then, if we can't find a spot for you in this one.

 

[Endur]

My version of COSQ deviates some. The basics are all the same. We're currently in chapter 1. We should be in chapter 3 and/or 4 in six months.

The differences being 1) An evil elf party with limited clerical spellcasting is very different from a good party; 2) the evil party negotiates with many encounters that the good party would attack on sight; 3)All the stuff in Mantol Derith was introductory stuff based on the Menzo boxed set and not in the module 4) I modified various NPCs/monsters for 3.5 and I dropped PRCs from the NPCs; and 5) I made minor changes for story consistency and plot hooks.

I think it would be possible for Brother Shatterstone to play in your game without any problems. Biggest issue would be the various traps, especially since his character in my game is likely to stumble over most of the traps. So if he played a character who wasn't involved in trap detection and who maybe had some ranks in Knowledge Underdark to cover his background knowledge of the module, I think he'd be fine.

Greetings Brother Shatterstone. You would make 8 if indeed you believe your experience in Endur's game will not affect your performance in this game. The only reason that I consider it is because of the uniqueness of Endur's game, and the changes I will be adding into my own game. It will still be played mostly by the book, but the other adventures will be tied in as smoothly and seamlessly as possible, which should make for a different experience. I was up for taking over Eilos' position in Endur's game a few weeks back but my video card died on me and so I was unable to catch up with the thread and by the time I got things running again the idea of running this game came up and so decided it would be best not to join Endur's game in pursuit of my own. Without having read the adventure yourself, how much do you think Endur's version has deviated from the original adventure? Has he talked to any length about it in the OOC thread at all? I'd like to get some kind of bearing as to how much of the adventure you have experienced "as is" in the book itself and how much you may have experienced as well by the time we get there ourselves in game.

Majin, see above, if I shall be an issue please let me know...

 

[Majin]

That sounds great. Thanks for the explanation Endur. It certainly does sound like it would be a very different experience for you. Welcome aboard.

Cool thanks.

If no one wants to play siblings, is their any chance of playing something unique? I was thinking either a Saurial or a lizardfolk. I can do a Saurial as low as a ECL: 4 (including LA +2 and 2 levels of Humanoid, but without a class level) A lizardfolk, I can do as a ECL 3, with a LA +1 and 2 levels of Humanoid, but without a class level.)

please?

Hey Bro, you could be my sibling, if you want to be a svirfneblin.
