Where on Oerths Homlet?

[Ferret]

In an upcoming game my friend is going to run Return to the temple of elemental evil. And I'm going to write a back ground for my character but I can't find any of the places I know of homlet deklo woods nulb.... Can anyone help?

I may be wrong (it's been about 20 years since I played in that area), but I seem to remember it being near the Viscounty of Verbobonc.

There's the map from the Living Greyhawk - Verbobonc site.

SE of Verbobonc on the border between the Kron Hills and the Gnarley Forest.

I've already lost two characters to that adventure. In the last game a buddy's druid never got around to getting a name before he died about 30 minutes into it

We didn't finish the sniper off fast enough and he got teh gnoll

Dude, have fun with the game. Get a character you like. Enjoy. But don't stress the details. This is a notorious meat grinder module and it would suck to put in lots of time to your character only to have him reduced to a thin, red, spray early in the game.

Use spoiler in the tag instead of black biggus, I should know

I intend to put detail into all of the characters, whether of not they get taken home in a small vial. But thanks.

Anyone know where a tribe of barbarian halflings would be arround there?

An isolated valley in the Kron Hills or Lortmils (sp?) might work if your characters are supposed to come from the immediate area. If not, maybe your journeying up from the Wild Coast. Your character could have been captured, taken from his homeland as a slave, and then escaped, possibly with the aid of the other PCs. Check with DM.

Man, its been too long since I played or DM'd. I'm starting to concoct stories from other peoples threads. OY!

As DM, you can design whatever you want! Greyhawk was meant to be flexible.

However, standard Oerth (the world of greyhawk) has historically regarded halfling barbarians as a pretty silly concept! Halflings are chubby, cheeky, less aggressive town or village dwellers with sticky fingers not raging barbarians in 20 years of greyhawk modules and literature. There are many gnomes in the kron Hills not far from Greyhawk. You could easily put in some gnome rangers or fighters into this area as a subsitute that might be suited to the setting.

Its NOT a meat grinder module. Just try to play with your brain and not your d20 and you should come out ok (when you are injured get healed, play the various factions against each other, make friends in nulb and hommlet, use stealth, etc.)

 

[Ferret]

Oh... No halfling barbarians....

The main idea of the Character is that he is a hot headed youth that has been sent to seek 'peace' which he will find in the form of druid levels. So I want the barbarian bit to stick, what could the race be? Better yet is there like a run down of things for greyhawk?

No way, man! You'll have to pry my stupidity out of my cold, dead hands.
