Come on in fellow travelers, wipe off your boots and sit yourself down. Tales of adventure begin and end here at the Colossal Orm Tavern. Though short, you should find yourself having exciting moments nonetheless.
-The Mythic Visitor
= = = = =
I had this idea quite a while ago for ordinary adventures but with the new Mythic tiers available and the length of adventures necessary to play with them. The Colossal Orm Tavern will feature one-shot mythic adventures. Once one is completed, another will begin.
To join, simply dot in and follow. Each adventure will have a set number of players and will have a level/mythic tier requirement.
As soon as all slots are filled, the adventure begins. Adventures will be very short and should serve mainly to pass the time and play interesting character concepts you wouldn't get to use in long term campaigns.
After that, I will prioritize players who haven't had a go yet in the subsequent adventure and fill the slots when necessary.
- 20 point buy
- 2 character traits
- average starting gold
- max hit points at 1st, average at other levels

You stand at the entrance to the Shrine of Saint Salina. You'd heard that a very rare and priceless treasure had been buried beneath the shrine and you, and your fellow team of robbers deemed it right to free the poor artifact and let it breathe fresh air once again.
- 1st level characters
- # of Characters: 3-4
- Character Concept: Novice tomb robbers and treasure hunters.
- Mythic Tiers to be gained: One
- Length: 5 Encounters
This sounds really cool! Where can we find the Mythic rules? I have the playtest version, but I'm guessing it's been changed substantially. I'll post a character probably tomorrow.
Interested, without a doubt. I'll play around and see what I come up with. Thinking a crypt breaker alchemist.
We will be using the Mythic playtest for the moment as I don't believe I can copy all the material from the MA over onto the forums. I hope they will be put up on the PRD soon.
I've got the mythic rules - checking that this is a level1/Tier0 to level1/Tier1, right?
Well, I whipped up a half-orc alchemist (trap breaker). Mythic path will be trickster. She's basically been lured to the Shrine of Saint Salina by thoughts of treasure, and thinks her darkvision and high disable device will be useful in plundering said treasure. She's brave, but a little headstrong and foolish, and likes to just stand back and set things on fire rather than get involved in melee - though if need be, she's always got her mutagen.

I haven't put a whole lot of detail into her backstory, personality, or appearance, since this is one-shots, but I'll think about it more anyway.
I'm also interested, and recently got the Mythic Adventures book. I'll try to stick with basic stuff that I recall from the playtest when we get that far, though.
Here's my submission. Still need to purchase gear
, but he's otherwise completely ready. Plan is to take one level of Tattooed Sorcerer for familiar safety and go for the Archmage Mythic Path. Combat-wise, he'll focus on summoning and debuffing.
Backstory: Thackery Binx used to be a great and powerful wizard with dreams of conquering the world. Then the heroes came. Now he has only a shadow of his former glory and searches for ways to regain his lost power. Maybe the artifact rumored to be in these tombs is the key to his re-ascension....

@Harkani: Yes.
@Loup Blanc: I'd be fine with allowing you to use the entire MA.
And yes, this first adventure is very short. You'll gain your Mythic Tier almost right away and then proceed through the rest of the encounters.
Going to bump this back up as we're going to need some more allies.
Are we doing character backstories for this game? I'm thinking of submitting a human barbarian if you'll have me.
OK, I can whip up something. What do we look like we need at the moment?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Looks like MA is available on the srd: here
@Johnnycat: Why thank you so much!
And a little backstory is always appreciated but for these it's less important. This is more of a "pass the time" type of adventure.
*bump* This still going?
i will dot for interest. it may take me a bit to come up with a character, or i may have a storm of ideas tomorrow, who knows. i was hesitant to jump in, imagining that there would be tons of people jumping on this, but i see you are in need of allies.
i see an alchemist, conjuror, and barbarian in the party. i am not sure what i will come up with.
are 3pp classes acceptable? I made an Antipaladin awhile back and the game never got off the ground. failing that, i might go monk or something.
Are you still looking for people? Considering dropping a theologian cleric cleric on this.
I too am interested, been wanting to get in a Mythic game for *awhile* now.
I am still recruiting, there is no time limit as stated.
As soon as we're 4 players we can begin the first one shot, subsequent applicants will queue for the next one.
Long story short. Robbin the dead to benefit the living. Using fire to burn the undead long the way. Backstory done.
Then we have four players!
I'll add you to the active players and we can all meet up in discussion.
