A Council Revived: CoT

Game Master Divinitus

Ok, here is the official 'recruitment' thread for the continuation of 'Tark's Council of Thieves' campaign. Since most of you already have characters, here are the only guidelines which I think are relevant for you to look at right now.

Max HP per HD

+2 skill points per level, one of which must be used on a social skill (One using CHA), Craft, or Profession.

Bonus Feat at 1st level

1 Trait, plus a Campaign Trait, with the option to take a 3rd Trait if a Drawback is also taken.

1,000 GP starting gold

Ability Scores: Choose one stat that becomes 18 before modifiers, then another which becomes 08 before modifiers, then distribute 16 points amongst the other ability scores (Which are set at 10,) in any way you desire. You may reduce any of the 4 stats by up to -2 to gain a commensurate number of points to distribute amongst the others.

Now that THAT'S out of the way, let me ask a few questions.

1. Do you have a list of unique NPCs that are considered 'close' to your character? If not, then you should, even if you will never encounter them in Westcrown.

2. Are there any character-specific plot events that you may be interested in? If so, then PM me.

3. What place would everyone like the story to pick up at? I am considering at some point in book 2 or 3.

I don't have a preference, especially since I joined so late in the game. I think we were in book 3, though.

Yes, you were in book 3.

Also, the 1,000 GP is there so you can square away whatever meager differences there are between my starting gold amount that I have in every campaign, sans Dark Sun, and Tark's CoT.

Just a quick dot for Tal (tower shield fighter).

Yes we were in book three. Would be fine to just restart there to make things easy. That way we should all be around 5th level and not have to redo much.

As for the NPC's and stuff I will get that up later.

Where might everyone else be?

As I understand it, everyone was in either Salm's group or Tal's group. Looks like we were all somewhere in book 3.

"1. Do you have a list of unique NPCs that are considered 'close' to your character? If not, then you should, even if you will never encounter them in Westcrown."

The monkey has nobody. Not that he cares, he finds it difficult to believe that other people really exist, no be honest half the time he is not sure he exists. He was going out with the lead actress from the Opera but then she went mad and became less interesting.

2. Are there any character-specific plot events that you may be interested in? If so, then PM me.

Nothing springs to mind.

"3. What place would everyone like the story to pick up at? I am considering at some point in book 2 or 3."

I am good with anytime after the Opera.
If you want to start before that then it would be best to go all the way back to the beginning.

Pollux, don't forget your talking head. You seem to have a connection there even if it is a little strained.

Tal has Lily his wife as the main NPC. I should say that Tal missed 95% of the first book so didn't meet any real NPC but the 2 in charge of the group.blanking on their names right now though.

Ah yes the Zombie Head On A Stick. How could I forget ZOHAS. The mad severed devil head from the crux. Pollux has ambitions involving sovereign glue, ironwood and constant exposure to the Charm Hex. Some of these ambitions even involve ZOHAS.

I had thought of making Zohas into a staff but the cost would be outrageous for the constant and at will's alone. Sigh so the head largely became comic relief.

ZOHAS? LOL!

So, is this everyone? It looks to be 3 people thus far.

Harold hasn't chimed in but he just joined earlier so I don't know if he is still a go or not. Trevor backed out as he is letting others join in instead. From the rebels I don't know about the rest. Witch, inquisitor, tank +1more and we should be good. Look forward to see who we can get and playing with Dax.

I know there was interest in the original recruitment thread as well.

Almost lost track o this one during the holiday hustle/bustle. Would love to keep this character going in CoT if there's still a divine spot available.

Great to have you. Would love another to get ths thing rolling.

Hello?

<Squeek?>

I believe the DM has vanished. The people in the other campaign are wondering what happened.

<Sqeek!>

{Good to see you Trevor. Yep, no posts anywhere since 7 Jan 15. Time to give this one a toe tag and close the drawer I think.Tal and all Are we still looking for a step-in GM? I am in at least two minds on the subject.}

I like the character and would certainly be willing to continue, but based on the (lack of) response it just may not be in the cards.....

I'll keep checking, and certainly count me in if something does come up.

Would love to continue as well if we can find someone. I think we have a great core and a well rounded group that we could go far.

I agree.
