Undersea Adventures (PLAYERS, PLEASE RESPOND)

[Aeolius]

I have something similar in my games, using the half-ogre template. Or, take it a step further, my kresh are an aquatic trogre, or troll-ogre, being either a half-troll ogre or a half-ogre troll. Ever considered a merrow mage (aquatic ogre magi)?

Hmmm. Merrow Mage sounds good.

On second thought I am not going to have time for this game. Sorry for any trouble and Thanks for your time. Happy gaming everyone!

Aeolius,

Do have the FFG book, Mythic Races? If so, I'd like to play an Ooloi (pg. 86)... Let me know! I'd probably play a Cleric/Fighter (or whatever class the party needed)....

I do in fact have Mythic Races. So, is this Ooloi (almost as many vowels as Aeolius...kewl) a literal alien to the oceans of Oerth, or are we assuming an ooloi population has always existed there? As an easy out, I made the smaller moon Celene a Dyson sphere; i.e. a hollow sphere with an ocean clinging to its inner surface. The PCs have already encountered one Spelljamming vessel, though they were unaware of its potential.

Trust me, I know how overworked a schedule can become BPAA will be here, if you find that time allows, as I know you had previously written "... it would be cool to play in an underwater game..."

As a starting point, this is in the campaign background: " The Janasibs are a cluster of five islands, the largest of which is home to a dormant volcano. Within its crater rests a landlocked lake of salt. Numerous pirates have taken shelter along the shores of the Janasibs, wary of the sea hags in the shallows and sylvan creatures which inhabit the plush forests. Aware of their alliance with local merfolk, the Wardens of the Janasibs have sought council with the Matriarchy of Komal. Many of the merrow which inhabit these waters have, of late, displayed magical powers. Though typically encountered in freshwater, these oceangoing creatures have become known as merrow mages. "

Now THAT would be mondo COOL! Perhaps this Ooloi could be sent to scout out the area for possible colonization? Or maybe he just hitched a ride and is a true explorer at heart! I am pretty much cool with whatever backstory is required, but I say that coming from Celene is a really nifty idea!

So far we have:

Ashy - Ooloi
Steve Gorak - ???
Tailspinner - merrow mage

I'll be finishing up Chapter 118 tonight. If you want to know a bit about the campaign, I'd recommend looking over the campaign background.

For added inspiration, visit your local public aquarium or a pet store that carries saltwater fish. Find a fish (or crab, starfish, etc) that suits your fancy and then watch it for as long as you can stand. Alternately, look over online fish dealers such as http://www.liveaquaria.com/

If you have cable/satellite, take look through the Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, and similar stations, for episodes about ocean life. Their corresponding websites have useful information, as well.

What classes are needed??

 

[Steve Gorak]

So far we have:
Ashy - Ooloi
Steve Gorak - ???
Tailspinner - merrow mage

How does a half-dragon (blue) half scrag sound?
BTW, what's the LA for scrag?
Does this sound good?

I'd like the character to be a napoleonic type, wishing to create his own underwater empire. With the support of sometype of power (possibly an elemental power, or some powerful outsider), he'd take cleric or possibly druid levels, as the DM deems appropriate.

Of course, this is an uber-character (+14 to str score), but this will be reflected in his larger than life objectives.

Does this sound good?

Cheers,

SG
