The Speaker in Dreams (OOC)

[Nero Kingsley]

The town of Brindinford occupies a low hill beside the Brinding River. Crenellated stone walls, interrupted by tall watchtowers, surround the buildings, but the life of the town spills beyond its walls today. Colorful carts and wagons, flags and ribbons, and people of all sorts line the road for 100 yards beyond the gate. Dozens of halflings in bright colored costumes are directing most of the activities. A busy, lively hum of noise rises from the fair, and the smells of roasting meat, exotic spices, and cut flowers fills the air.

The town of Brindinford is in the midst of its annual street fair. Joy and merriment abound - until calamity disrupts the celebration. Are rival gangs responsible? Is the government sliding into tyranny? Or is a nightmarish plot about to come to fruition?

With the big crash and the loss of so many games, I've mustered up enough courage to start a game here on the boards. I've witnessed firsthand how quickly games fill up around here, so I'll set the deadline for character submissions at May 18. The town of Brindinford isn't on any Greyhawk map, so don't bother looking for it, but the more your character's background ties in to the campaign setting, the better your chances are of getting in. Assume it's not too far of a journey from the City of Greyhawk. Also, if you see the party is lacking a healer, a cleric or druid would be a pretty surefire way to get yourself a secured spot (the same holds true for rogues, casters, tanks, etc.). I will only be accepting four characters - no more, no less.


Character Creation Guidelines
Level: 5th.
Ability Scores: 28 point buy (do not add extra ability score point for level 4).
Gold: 9,000 gp.
Hit Points: Max at 1st level, average at even levels, average plus one at odds.
Books: Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide (prestige classes only, if you even meet the prerequisites). Sorry, I like the classic feel to D&D - plus I don't have the money to afford all those fancy splatbooks and supplements and whatnot.

Elven Cleric of Corellon Larethian - Ivellios

This sounds like it could be a fun game. I'll toss my hat into the ring with this middle-aged Elven cleric. Enjoy!

Ivellios Galanodel
Race: Elf Class: Cleric/Bard Level: 3/2 Experience: 10,000
Alignment:Chaotic Good Deity: Corellon Larethian
Description: Above average height (5'5"), lean and scrawny (135 pounds), greyish-white long hair, silver eyes, pale white skin

Background:
Ivellios is an older elf who for many, many years has walked a quiet and solitary path. As a 'seeker', Ivellios has chosen to exile himself from his people in order to become closer to his deity, Corellon. Although his wanderings may, at times, seem aimless, he nevertheless often finds himself stumbling into odd and sometimes dangerous situations. Ivellios, truly pious, believes that Corellon himself is guiding his steps, testing his virtues at every turn. Each challenge is an inspiration to him.

Personality and Roleplaying notes:
While many solitary wanderers are moody and quiet, Ivellios is not. He is quick to smile and often very friendly, athough he always remains subdued and sedate. His mild good-natured attitude is tempered by his remarkable patience and understanding. He treasures the brief friendships he is able to make, for he knows all too well that soon enough Corellon will call on him to wander away once more.

[Rayex]

Ooooh, I've been wanting to play this for AGES!

Fiona Boomknockle, a female halfling Monk. She's happy, loveable, and full of jokes and sillyness.

More will come

 

[Nero Kingsley]

Looks good, Nonamazing. Usually, the last person in is the healer, not the first . I dig the bard/cleric mix .

If you know anything about this adventure, just please don't metagame! Though you are still welcome to join .

 

[Amazing Triangle]

:: Bump ::

Sorry too much on the plate

 

[Talviarianna]

I would love to play in this adventure, have a human female fighter 5. Can send more details if you feel she would be a good fit for the party.

I am new to the PbP forum and am looking forward to trying out this new way to play D&D.

 

[Talviarianna]

I do have one question for the GM. Are you using 3.0 or 3.5 books? I no longer have my 3.0 books and only have 3.5. I know that in the 3.5 PH there are some feats that aren't in 3.0. Please let me know if this is a problem.

 

[industrygothica]

I'd also be interested in this. I'd like to play a rogue or rogue/druid combination. I'm not very comfortable using magic just yet (still new to pbp), so I'd probably use more rogue than druid, but it'd be nice to be able to summon a flanking partner when I need one.

 

[D20Dazza]

Any room for a beguiler or duskblade? I'm keen to play one of these classses (and may just do so in my FtF)

Noraa the Questing Brigand

Race: Human Class: Fighter/Rogue Level: 1/4
Alignment Chaotic Good Deity: Undecided (Noraa has not decided yet)
Description: A short but stocky woman with sun-leathered skin and a hint of exoticism to her features.

Background
Until recently, Noraa Falcon had spent her life as a third-generation bandit, waylaying travellers by the side of major trade routes alongside her fellows. But that all changed three weeks ago. A raid went wrong, and Noraa was knocked out and abandoned to the elements. When she came too, she was being cared for by an itinerant cleric who had chanced upon her, and who gave her aid without hesitation. This kindness awakened something in Noraa, something she had long tried to bury to fit in with extended family of brigands -- goodness.

Personality and Roleplaying Notes
Noraa is still uncertain about her place in the world. The only life she has ever known has been one of living off of other people, and while she wants to change, old habits die hard -- so she tries to use her talents to help others as well as herself, and only on people whom she feels deserve it. At times, she will even err on the side of caution, showing a goodness of heart that would gladden even a paladin's dour demeanour.

I haven't done equipment purchase yet, but I wanted to throw my hat in the ring ASAP. Noraa's not a tank, but with sneak attack, the right weapons, and her high Bluff and ability to feint as a move action in a combat, she can do a fair bit of damage.
