(5e) DM Greaek's tomb of annihilation (Inactive)

Game Master Greek Stronghammer



For the first post Amookbu if you wanted to switch one of your languages for Omuan that would be allowed


M Human (Variant) Paladin (Oath of the Ancients)

Ambooku speaking in his native accent is fantastic! Wow what a change a language barrier makes.


Ya


Male Human (variant) Barbarian level-1

I figured that's what might happen if you learned common from eavesdropping while locked in the hold of a pirate ship. Also thought it would be fun :)

BTW, what kind of language is Omuan? I had chosen lizardfolk(draconic) because the first website I looked up had listed lizardfolk as the 3rd most common humanoids in Chult after humans and goblinkind, and Ambooku is not the sort to "parley" with goblinkind.

It is the Older langugae in chult, spoke before the monarchy crumbled


M Human (Variant) Paladin (Oath of the Ancients)

@Ambooku Totally makes sense and is very fun to watch.


Ambooku, it says you are variant human, what's your feat?


Male Human (variant) Barbarian level-1

Grappler


Ok, kindly add this to your grappler feat: You can attempt to make a grapple as a bonus action or with your reaction. You have advantage on all Athletics (Str) or Acrobatics (Dex) checks to make or escape from a grapple a number of times per day equal to your proficiency bonus.


Male Human (variant) Barbarian level-1

Wow, that is powerful :) Where is that from, homebrew?


Well some feats are kinda weak, so I and a few other friends have worked on homebrewing skills to make them more takable (Like Durable, which is all but null with the homebrew of taking the average on hit die) Our games are pretty house rule heavy


My posting might be spotty for the next week, Will try to post whenever i can

I would be interested in GMing a 5e game (I would be able to provide online rules if anyone is interested), Main classes+UA Classes (Replacing PHB with unearthed arcana Ranger)


And than third party content if i clear it

Dark Archive

great.

is this a 1st level adventure?


Starting off yes

Dark Archive

interested.

anything about the setting i need to know to help me in making my submission?


Are you Familiar with Forgotten realms lore?

Dark Archive

yup.

is a cormyrian war wizard welcome? i got xanathar.

or i can just adjust my 5e barbarian called "The Unchained" who is a half-orc ex-slave barbarian folk hero....


Either are good


And than you will probably have some NPCs based on interest lvl


DM Greaek- could you tell us a bit about the proposed campaign aside from it being 5th Ed? I may well be interested but there is very little to go on.


The module is the Tomb of Annihalation. Unless he changes things, it’s set in the rainforest jungle peninsula of Chult. A death curse has settled over the land and you will need to brave dangerous perils to solve its mystery.


You are hired by a Ex-Adventurer and Merchant named Syndra Silvane, who years ago died and was raised from the dead. About 20 days ago she began to wither away. She talked to a temple, but they said it was wide spread, and no spell could cure it. She talked to the Harpers, and they told her that it was caused by a necromatic device called the soul monger, and they only knew the name and that it was in the jungle of chult


For Character Creation You may use whatever method you want for generating ability scores, and if you want to play a third party sub/class or background than send it to me and i might clear it


Can I ask what it will be run on? Discord, roll20, etc?


On the piazo forums here


Paizo going down sucks


I would be interested in giving this a go ideally as a monk, fighter, or ranger.


Ok, if you need help with character creation PM me


How does the leveling work, is it milestone based or EXP based?


Xp


Dotting for interest.

I'll just use the point buy for building my character.

Interesting

4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 2) = 8=7
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 3) = 13=12
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 6) = 22=18

4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 4) = 19=15
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 3) = 13=11

Thinking of a Dragonborn or Firbolg Ranger.


Brilliant


I’ll shoot over a copy of my character sheet tomorrow. I am thinking about a monk of some flavor.

Ok, also for your character post an around 250 word (More or less idk) interaction with an NPC (Could be combat, could be RPing, whatever), and a little bit about your backstory once you have that fleshed out


Saw your post on Reddit. What times are you thinking of doing this?


Is this a PBP?


Are we starting in Chult?


Kimojonu: PBP, post whenever you can
Gnomezrule: Yes to both


How long will this campaign be intended to run, either in terms of levels or months? I've always thought ToA sounded like a one-shot but don't know hardly anything about it besides a few major cultural references.


Hey caster for life. I have no idea how long, depends on post frequency but the levels are 1-11


This is Gnomezrule's Firbolg Ranger

I am still fleshing out backstory and such. Will post additional as it happens.


Ok


Hiroki Character Sheet

Character Background

My character sheet and background are attached. I used the standard array for the stats.


Ok brilliant


Is it safe to assume the death curse has already started? If so how long?


20 days


Alright. I am mostly finished. I wrote a brief history. I am not sure how realistic it is to get from where he started to get to Chult but that can be hashed out or overlooked.

Ironically apparently there is another Orym out there hence I needed to add something to my character's name to get it up so between the red hair and red Firbolg nose I went with Red.

Can we assume we have a summons or have heard of Syndra Silvane or are we just in town.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

We are going to start in Baldur's gate, and you are summoned to her office. you all can discuss whether or not you knew each other beforehand if yall want


Here is a snip of dialogue.

Orym looked up the cobbled street trying to find the 'signs' these people seem to go for. He will miss some of his friends from the ship but it was good to be on solid ground. He noticed a woman with a basket of what looked to be some sort of melon. He cleared his throat which had loud resonance to it. He spoke in gentle baritone to the woman, "P pardons little one I see you have fruit. Are you how do you say selling it?" He smiled broadly trying not to be threatening. These little people are often put off by my size. "3 copper pieces? I have one of these ones the color of sunlight on deep water." He rubbed a smudge off the silver piece offering it low so the woman could take it. She seems pleased by that. He smiles when she hands him 2 melons. [b]"Thank you. Say can you tell me is this the way to the merchant house Silvane?" He made his way a few blocks down. Apparently not the way. He cut open the melon and ate a few bites as he walked. Passing a begger he noted that others avoided the man so he offered the skinny man his second melon. "For you little one. I cannot bare to see one with out when I have gathered more than enough."

As far as summoning, I tend to think of Hiro as a loaner. I think it might be most fitting for him to not know the rest of the party beforehand and be summoned separately.

Dark Archive

will finalize my submission tomorrow.


Thanks. I have a polearm paladain who is all about defending allies, both in terms of RP and build.

It also looks like the role of utility caster/battlefield controller is open, which I would be happy to fill.

Any suggestions/preferences for what I should attempt, anyone?


A dude on Twitter messaged me, I'm sure he'd fill that role


All right then I'll run with the old defender of the light.


Ok the dude on twitter is unavailable, but two people on Reddit messaged me and will be taking the last two slots
