At first Sizerox was wary and ready, scanning the darkness for any signs of an approaching threat. But as time wore on he started to get bored. With a sigh he sat down on the cold stone, leaning against the rampart.
It needs doing...doesnt have to mean I gotta like it.

Time passes slowly on sentry duty. So far all is quiet. A griffin rider flies by and tells you that your shift is almost over and that the elders have decided to seek out and rid the area of the skulks as a priority. As the griffin flies off it is soon intercepted by some bat like creature that seems to have appeared from a crack in the rocky ceiling. It is in ballista range, but it will be a hard shot to avoid the entangled griffin.
Bringing the musket to his cheek Jack knows the shot will difficult, but digs deep and steadies his aim. Holding his breath at the top of its cycle he fires.
Gregory takes careful aim through the ballista's sight, and lets loose a bolt at the bat with a satisfying 'click'.
The heavy ballista bolt crashes into the grappled bat-creature, barley missing the Griffin rider. The rider takes the opportunity to plunge a lance into the creature's mouth. It falls to the ground, right out side the tower's ground entrance. The griffin rider blows a whistle and soon all of the griffin riders in the area converge and do a check of the ceiling in the area the bat-creature appeared from.
Looks like that was the only one. These Mobats are usually smarter, but I think they are desperate for food as the constructs have taken over the surface. Finder mentions as your relief arrives. Let's get some rest, it sounds like we will be raiding the Skulks tomorrow.
Gregory nods.
"That sounds like a plan. If we are raiding the Skulks, though, I don't suppose that it would be possible to track down some spare armor...?"
Aye, given proper equipment, I shall gladly be at the front of our assault.
No worries, I was sorta thinking something like that had happened, atleast you didnt just jump ship like so many DMs do.
Im interested in moving to one of the other campaigns, just curious what a Heirophant is, and what levels the campaigns are at.

The Mythic Playtest introduced something called Mythic Tiers. The playtest can be found on this website free. With those tiers you pick a general archetype, Heirophant is one. What I did to incorporate Mythic Tiers into Rise of the Runelords was to make them associated to Harrow deck cards and have the players be part of a reading in the beginning that sort of introduces them as being "fated" by the stars they were born from.
The other campaign is Red Blessing, it takes place in the Mana Wastes, and involves political intrigue. I will post some links.
Hmmm... I will have a look into it :-)
