Master of the Fallen Fortress

Game Master Goblin Slayer

A wide field of shattered weapons, barrow mounds, and mass graves surrounds the city of Absalom , a vast plain known as the Cairnlands. Rising from the war-torn earth like the grasping arms of the dead are countless siege castles, towers, and fortresses constructed over the millennia by would-be warlords who tried to take the great city and inevitably failed. Like forgotten monuments to failed conquerors, the siege castles of Absalom beckon the brave, the fearless, and the foolish with the promise of adventure and untold treasures, ever ready to create heroes or to entomb the fallen. An unnamed siege castle has stood in the Cairnlands for hundreds if not thousands of years, magically sealed after the death of its forgotten master. But recently, a minor earthquake rocked the land, accomplishing in moments what dozens of scholars, sages, and adventurers could not achieve in years—the quake caused part of the siege castle to collapse, opening its interior for the first time in centuries. The locals now call this tower the Fallen Fortress.



This is a short adventure, and here are the guidelines:
> I will be taking 3 level 1 characters, most likely 1 arcane spellcaster, 1 divine spellcaster, and 1 front-liner.

> You can choose between 20 point buy or the "epic dice" method (3d6+6 for each ability score

> Recommended things= Languages: Draconic; Classes: None. Be what you want!; Nope, no more spoilers!

> Most importantly, HAVE FUN! (OR I'LL EAT YOUR SOUL!!!)

> I need a background from each player. I will decide who plays later. Please post in this forum if you want to play!


3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6) + 6 = 23
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) + 6 = 19
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2) + 6 = 14
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5) + 6 = 15
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4) + 6 = 16
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5) + 6 = 21

"Epic Dice" method is right.. Jeez..

Starting wealth? Traits?

Great! If you can, let others know about this adventure, and about your background: insert how you stumbled upon this mission (HINT! This can be as long as you like, and keep it fairly detailed.)

Scarab Sages

Looking to create an Arcanist, either Eldritch Font or White Mage.


Hmmm? never heard of arcanist...oh wait! you mean sorcerers and that kind...and white mage is an archetype? if so, sure, if not, sure anyway! you'll just have to teach me along the way.


OH! i'm sorry, I forgot to mention featured races are allowed. If you guys want, you can make the necessary changes to your liking.

Scarab Sages

Arcanist is a full arcane based off of sorcerer and wizard. It came out with the advanced class guide.


oh. I didn't know that...however, you can play it!


we have teensy-weeny much room for a divine spellcaster or the like. please do jump in while you have the chance!


sorry, guys, I gotta go. keep posting in this forum. if at least one posts, I will decide who will be the heroes of this wondrous adventure. For those who do not get get picked...I will have another adventure recruitment up and running right after this one! Have no fear, for I will keep my promise! Just look for my name in campaign titles! Sayonara! Adios! Au revoir! And most importantly, remember your backgrounds! Farewell, fellows GMs and adventurers!


I'd love to put together a shaman if there's still room.
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3) + 6 = 16
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3, 2) + 6 = 15

3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6) + 6 = 23
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3) + 6 = 21

Woah, I like this rolling method!

when you mean 3d6 + 6, did you mean 3d6+6, drop the lowest of the 3d6 rolls?

Interested in joining with a halfling warpriest. The paladin and me can even have the same god or goddess?

Stat: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6) + 6 = 23

@WerePox You could do the adventure on your own with that character/stats.

Nope! you keep all of the dice results.

You know what? I think I would like to play with FOUR players, if I adjust the module a bit....but don't worry! You can still post your interest. I will open the discussion thread for you to meet each other and to roleplay. Have fun!

Well, in that case..I'll make a toon.....here we go...come on dice..be nice to me...

3d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3, 3) + 6 = 13
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) + 6 = 16
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1, 2) + 6 = 15
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1) + 6 = 14
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5) + 6 = 14
3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4, 5) + 6 = 21

Will get back with a character later today...gotta get some shuteye

edit: lame rolls....will still make a guy.....


You building a front-liner? Oh jeez...I almost typed front-"linen"...
Anyway....you can build a spellcaster, but a frontliner would be awesome.
Since all the others are making spellcasters....but, you know...spellcasters are awesome too. :)

I really cannot decide for you. But besides that, have FUN! (OR I'LL EAT YOUR SOUL!!) lol

Armor Check Penalty: -3

Blessings: 4/day

Good, Holy Strike (minor): At 1st level, you can touch one weapon and bless it with the power of purity and goodness. For 1 minute, this weapon glows green, white, or yellow-gold and deals an additional 1d6 points of damage against evil creatures. During this time, it's treated as good for the
purposes of overcoming damage reduction. This additional damage doesn't stack with the additional damage from the holy weapon special ability.

War, War Mind (minor): At 1st level, you can touch an ally and grant it a tactical advantage for 1 minute. At the start of its turn each round, it can select one of the following bonuses: +10 feet to base land speed, +1 dodge bonus to AC, +1 insight bonus on attack rolls, or a +1 luck bonus on saving throws. Each bonus selected lasts for 1 round.

Fleet of Foot: Some halflings are quicker than their kin but less cautious. Halflings with this racial trait move at normal speed and have a base speed of 30 feet. This racial trait replaces slow speed and sure-footed.

Backstory coming, need to sleep now!

Abilities
====================
Spirit (Su): A shaman forms a mystical bond with the spirits of the world. She forms a lasting bond with a single spirit, which grants a number of abilities and defines many of her other class features.
At 1st level, a shaman gains the spirit ability granted by her chosen spirit. She adds the spells granted by that spirit to the list of spells that she can cast using spirit magic. She also adds the hexes possessed by that spirit to the list of hexes that she can use with the hex and wandering hex class features.
At 8th level, the shaman gains the abilities listed in the greater version of her selected spirit. At 16th level, the shaman gains the abilities listed for the true version of her selected spirit.
If the shaman takes levels in another class that grants a mystery (such as the oracle), the spirit and mystery must match, even if that means one of them must change. Subject to GM discretion, the shaman can change her former mystery or spirit to make them conform.
Spirit Animal (Ex): At 1st level, a shaman forms a close bond with a spirit animal tied to her chosen spirit. This animal is her conduit to the spirit world, guiding her along the path to enlightenment. The animal also aids a shaman by granting her a special ability. See the Spirit Animal section on page 47.
A shaman must commune with her spirit animal each day to prepare her spells. While the spirit animal does not store the spells like a witch's familiar does, the spirit animal serves as her conduit to divine power. If a shaman's spirit animal is slain, she cannot prepare new spells or use her spirit magic class feature until the spirit animal is replaced.
Channel (Su): The shaman can channel positive energy like a cleric, using her shaman level as her effective cleric level when determining the amount of damage healed (or dealt to undead) and the DC. The shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1 + her Charisma modifier.

Attach (Ex)
When a weasel hits with a bite attack, it automatically grapples its foe, inflicting automatic bite damage each round.
Alertness (Ex): While a familiar is within arm's reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.
Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
Share Spells: The wizard may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on himself. A wizard may cast spells on his familiar even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of the familiar's type (magical beast).
Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate empathically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link's limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. The master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.


The paladin worships Iomedae. Looks like all we need is an Arcane caster..


I can make an NPC...but that wouldn't be much fun.
