I was thinking of playing a synthetic Named Eva
Umlo, countercharges the lead goblin.
Hey for non core books I would like to take Arcane Hunter from the complete mage for my favored enemy [arcanists] (pg 32). And have access to these 3 feats from the complete arcane: Mage Slayer (pg 81); Pierce Magical Concealment (pg 81); and Pierce Magical Protection (pg. 82).
Sorry this took a while Chris Spoiler:
I feel like mine there was not enough "meat and potatoes" in the encounters Some of the story may seem too powerful for a 4th level adventure (Ioun stone mine; Flying wagon; extradimensional space). Maybe introducing the Buynons may "break the toys" ask the developers may already have decided what fits with which diety. Orignal ideas, and the diplomacy with the noble would have had an amazing opportunity for roleplaying. I enjoyed reading it. Other than that it seems good. Maybe the rival wizards guilds was seen as cliche, but i liked the idea.
here is mine!
Spoiler:
Preamble
As the last leaves hang tight to tall trees, and a blanket of foliage rests on the ground creating a riot of oranges, yellows and reds all is not well in the small community of Azurestone. The last Chinook winds warm the autumn air as dark skies form on the horizon bringing with them the cool chill of winter’s grasp. Pure innocence is at risk in this small community and scandal is afoot. Missing is a newborn baby fresh from the womb, her mother brutally massacred. Who will solve this mystery and will it be solved in time? In the distance the jagged cliffs of Fog Peak Mountain loom beckoning any who dare to attempt their ascent, worse still is the trail of the culprit leads to this ominous wall of stone. Will Heroes emerge in time to make the climb and rescue the infant from untold horrors…? What is the object that vanished and why is it important to retrieve it? A newborn, pure innocence is always worth saving. Two obstacles the PCs must overcome? OBSTACLE #1 THE MIDWIFE AND THE MASSACARE The Heroes are lead to the dwelling of the local midwife who attended the birth of [BABY] and tragic death of [MOTHER]. Upon arrival the residence seems abandoned. Further investigation has the Heroes stumble on a macabre scene. Blood soaked rags and rusted surgical implements litter the room. Sprawled open on the table is leather bound book its pages revealing an obscene ritual. With a listen check, sloshing noises can be heard from a back room, bursting forth slides a wet mass of tangled umbilical cords, placenta, amniotic fluid, and stillborn pieces [SEE NEW MONSTER]. After overcoming the encounter and study of the book, the Heroes realize where the newborn child is being taken. The book details a temple to [Deity] in the distant Fog Peak Mountains. Even more unsettling is that some pages have been torn from the manuscript detailing some horrific ritual involving the lost child! OBSTACLE #2 CHASING THE SUN The Heroes finally reach the base of Fog Peak Mountain, in the distance dark clouds gather heavy with an impending storm. The air is chill and the heroes can see their breath as it escapes their lungs. Looming high above is the summit of the mountain and the lost temple to [Deity]. The heroes quickly realize if they do not reach the summit before the storm arrives and night falls the fate of the baby will be grim. A series of Balance and Climb checks will be needed to reach the summit in time, even pushing the Heroes to fatigue and exhaustion. Of course no treacherous climb would be without an ambush from cultists at some point! Who took the object and why? The Grandfather himself took the newborn. This village elder and member of town council is the true culprit! This vermin plans to perform a rite to [Deity]. This rite when properly performed describes how to meld the life force of a newborn to extend one’s own mortality. The final showdown with the culprit. High atop the slopes of Fog Peak Mountain hides a temple to [Deity]. Nestled among the many natural hot springs, which give the mountain, its name lays the forgotten entrance to the temple. Long abandoned except by mountain goats and wild cougars this temple stands like a splinter violently jutting from the landscape’s skin. As the sun crests over the mountain and the first snow falls, the heroes make their entrance. The temple is uncomfortably warm; the air stinks with the acidic stench of sulfur. In the heart of the complex rests the climax to this adventure. Chanting can be heard and drumming--an ever-hurried beat that results in a chaotic crescendo of drums and shouts to then start over. A baby swaddled in red is held aloft by a masked figure atop an altar. A mass of writhing humanity sways back and forth undulating to the cacophonous beat of the drumming. The stone floor is wet with a mixture of condensation from the hot springs and the sweat and stink of the cultists. As the heroes make their presence known the majority of the cultists flee in terror; however, making their way to the altar to save the baby does not go unmolested. Six armed cultists provide protection to the central figure with the swaddled baby. As the masked figure disrobes he reveals the fleshy forms of newborns pressing outwards against his abdomen. Three entire forms can be made out, and as he runs his hands across his distended and bloated belly the muted sounds of crying can be heard. What new monster do you plan to include in this adventure? I plan on introducing the “Birthing Golem”.
I am playing a Gnome Ranger but only taking ranger at level 1 (fav enemy giants) then going fighter for 4 levels (sucking up the xp penalty) then into Gnome Giant Slayer PrC. I think gnomes will be awsome they have bonuses to goblinoids and Giants two of the main monsters rumoured to exist in this arc. Also there is a feat called "Giantbane" in complete warrior on pg. 111. The character's name is Umlo Thistleknot and I CANNOT WAIT to climb aboard a giant with the giantbane feat and go to town, It will be a game defining moment and I cannot wait! Yay Gnomes, also the idea of stalking a group of goblinoids and using ghost sound to distract them while I hurl a jar of Harpy musk at them just makes me giggle inside!
Without further ado I present a native to Varisa, a hero from the Whistledown community in the Sanos Forest region.
If you travel and meet Umlo and Svnirbin on the road please say hi you may find a steadfast ally.
What are you planning on playing in the new adventure path Ruse of the Runelords. (assume max gold and hit points at level one, 28 pt buy)
(planning on going 4 levels of fighter (yes an xp penalty for 2 levels) next then onto Gnome Giant-Slayer)
