Game Master DireMerc

A series of events leads to the discovery of a hidden vault under the city of Magnimar. Three keys are required to open it. Were are they? What is inside?

Yet another Homebrew by yours truly.

Intro:
You're enjoying a drink and a meal at the lonesome drake Inn when the Innkeeper approaches. "Beg my pardon but you seems the adventuring type and I was wondering if you could do something for me. There is a door in my basement and I didn't know it was there until last night. I'd like to know were it leads...Could you go have a look? I'll pay of course."


Me me me! :D


How could you not want to go with that kinda hook ;) That is honestly great! I am very interested.


That sounds like nothing could possibly go wrong! I'm interested.


What would you like us to do character building wise... stats, level, etc?

Grand Lodge

hello Utahra . JelloMan

DM i can vouch for ashern an the Jelly. they are great role playing companions...


"Hurnn... Well I suppose. Going into unknown, possibly trapped mysterious doors is a thing I do, what with being an adventurer an all. But I will cost you, mind you. An ale on the house an ten minutes ta get my head in the game an I'll be right along there."

Sounds intresting, not a lot to go on but I'm in if you can provide a bit more info.


yupyupyup ... a good old dungeon crawl.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

"My family once had a bucket appear mysteriously in the shed. I went to investigate it, and found myself alone on a lighted stage where I was compelled to perform Don Minturelli's libretto, "Ox Wagon Girls of the Lower Forty" with accompaniment by a band of Goblins (the trombone player and I, well, she was a spunky girl and we, well, never mind). How I long for another adventure, not quite like that one, but you know, something just as exciting, but this time, perhaps, without the coconut custard pies and all that that entails."


It's a bit more than a dungeon crawl the first part leads to the discovery of a vault among other things and then there is trying to find the keys to said vault while other events are happening. Think of it as a sandbox adventure in Magnimar and the surrounding area.

Level 1 adventure, 20 point buy, average starting gold. For any 3rd party material ask me first.


Should lead from level 1 to around 12


Would you be willing to allow a permiscuous hemaphradite changeling Bard?


"Been mor'n once when I be findin' stuff I ain't been rememberin' after I been drinkin'. Now a door? That be somethin' new, but I been known to find a woman or two I ain't rememberin'. Count this dwarf in fer yer explorations."


alright as in my other campaing I will be going with a maximum of 6 players.
once you character is approved go ahead and make a post in the gameplay area.
I'm gonna try to check some today but I don't have much time to do so. I'm using my phone right now cause im waiting but tonight I've got a date so I wont be on.

changeling bard is fine


If everyone who posted so far is interested that would make 7 if I counted right...Alright I can do 7. But any new player posting after this is in the waiting queue until a new spot opens up


Hmmm... I'm gonna bring my bard Oberst back to level 1 and submit him ;p


sounds good.


Another Bard???!!!

"Well doesn't that just smack the velociraptor of tolerance right in her tailbone of truth!"

I’ve begun filling out the character statistics on this alias, and will buy equipment tonight. May I ask if there will be Traits available?


I'm very interested. I'd like to submit Alanna Lyrios, Halfling Rogue for your consideration. The plan is to multiclass sorcerer next level. And then potentially take some levels in arcane trickster later on.

On a side note, hey, Jelly Man. It's Dexter from RotRLs.


If everyone who posted before joins in my games will be full. Since they posted their interest first they will be given priority. However is something should happen and spot opens up I will let you know.

2 traits each yes.

If you taking rich parents I expect an explanation in your background and no more than 50% of your gold spent on one item.

The trait heirloom weapon I am modifying for this campaign. You can take this trait to begin the game with a masterwork weapon. It grants no other bonus.

All other traits are as written.


You alright if I roll randomly for my character? I saw some other people doing it in another thread and i t looks like a fun way to choose a character:)


Well I have to head out now so ill roll anyways and you can vedo it if you want :)

Diremerc, I have almost finished a Tiefling alchemist and will post him in the other thread as soon as he is finished. Thanks so much, I am very excited about this game!


Waglinde, if you want to run a bard (or whoever the other bard is), I have no problem building whatever the party most needs


So far cleric, monk and bard(s)?


Ok... I would be ok running a fighter unless anyone is opposed


Sputnikk ere ta serve as ah wizard


Well... Looks like a fighter I shall be! Will post later with build


Still working on my character sheet. I copy and pasted my format from another character. Will have this little guy ready soon!


so how are the character coming along?


Behold Min Maximus! Ultimate fighter and all around BAMF...

Not quite done but here's what I got so far in his profile...


I haven't bought my gear yet, but just ordered pizza, and will get to it tonight.


**Cracks whip**

Get to it! For every day I don't have every character the CL of the first encounter increases by 5.

**Evil laughter**


Ok heres mine :)
I still need to get his items, backstory and an alias set up, sorry it took a bit of time, I got quite busy yesterday.
One question, you say campaign traits are allowed, would you allow the Finding Haleen trait? I ask because it is a quite powerful trait, granting as much as toughness and the skilled race trait combined. My character could quite use it though, having low skill ranks and hps! If not I plan on taking either the trait that makes your body a divine focus or one that grants perception as a class skill.

I think I'm all done so I'll visit the game thread now, but I have a semi serious question about a particular trait and bard-i-ness

The Charming Trait allows me to add a +1 to the DC of language dependent spells cast on creatures who might be attracted to me, and a +1 bonus on bluff and diplomacy

Now here is my question - do these apply to the Bardic "spell like abilities"?

and since I am ambiguously bi-curiously sexually undefined, can I use this on all the boys and girls who think I'm sexy?


Oh ya, I wanted to ask the group something.
I dont plan on being the party band-aid but I do have the ability to heal and could do so effectively enough ooc. My question is would you rather me take the variant channeling: earth, cutting my healing down by half but making my channel harm create difficult ground for a minute or stay vanilla?

I plan on sticking close to Minimax providing minor buffs and sweet aid anothers and acting like a secondary sack of meat. I can step back and help any party member that gets threatened with +4 dodge bonuses and other buffs as needed.

Also I am serously debating dropping my cha even further to a 7 so I can have a dex of 12 and provide 1 extra aid another a turn, but I am loath to drop a stat that far :) Your guys thoughts?

Mini Maximus I am surprised you didn't trade out your ability to rhyme on purpose for improved unarmed strike! How can you live up to your name if you don't do that?


I'd be happy to be the small box of bandaids, you know the one with the little circle and square bandaids that you never want to use until the whole box is empty (I'll take CLW if it will help)

I haven't finalized my cantrips or spells yet, so sue me for that, and sue me for this

Wags throws her hand down at the floor as if she has tossed something down, but her hand is empty, and nothing happens

"Smoke bomb" she shouts, after nothing happens and casually walks away.


Oh I can deffently heal, I have 7 uses of channel energy and can spontaniously cast cure spells but I just wanted to let you guys know that it won't be my in combat role.


I'll say no to the finding Haleen trait as I have no way of working it into this adventure right now. That was a campaign specific trait made for 3.5.

The charming trait does apply to spell like abilities. It works on anyone who finds you sexually attractive.


Make a post in campaign when you've made an alias and added your profile to it. I'l check the profiles later.


Good to know about the haleen trait, I figured it was to much to ask for :)
I'll get a alias set up right away!

Sorry for the late post, busy week :)


Oh god my Stealth D: (I'm a distraction while the rest of you hide)


Will have this character finished tomorrow evening


When can we hope to start playing?
(also I'm going to start posting as Ronin Aoi-hasu)


I'm interested. New to pbp but got a vivid imagination and am rather an rpg enthusiast.

I'd like to apply with my alias, a CG human oracle.
That char's info is ready to go.


Terribly sorry but the group is curently full up. I will post here if a slot opens up but for the moment I'm at my max.
