Princes of the Apocalypse 5E

Game Master JKassand

This year brought an unseasonably warm and stormy spring. Tales spread of flooding, windstorms, wildfires, and tremors. Rumours speak of the Princes of the Apocalypse and the dark dealings of their insidious cults.



Male Human level 12 DM

So far we have:

A dwarf, possibly a cleric, or paladin.
A dwarven wizard.
Someone who owns a vial of black sand.
Another.
Possibly a bard.

All great choices, invite your friends and loved ones. There's plenty of room.


Male Human level 12 DM

Pale King: Earth Genasi.
GM Niles: ?
Thorin: Dwarf Fighter.
Spazmodeus: Bard?
Cooldude: Dwarf, human or elf?
Scranford: Dwarven wizard.

Six players is enough to get us started. So far only Thorin's character is ready. I'd like to be ready to play by Monday.


aye, I'm always ready to go lad. Ye'll be hard pressed to catch me unprepared.

In the meantime.

Seriously, the EE Trinket table isn't in the Players Guide, ah well
"A Scrap of Cloth from an Old Banner" is the PHB version. It will do.

it's on the web: EE trinkets

This is Spazmodeus' dragonborn barbarian for your approval....

Hmm, my google-fu is weaker than I thought. Okay then.
"A amulet filled with liquid that churns, freezes, or boils to match its wearer's mood."
That's a bit more eccentric and interesting.


Wounds 9/14; FP 3/3

Profile is updated. Assuming I've not screwed anything up I think we're all adjusted to 3rd level and legal.

I've linked her to the temple of Tyr and changed background to Knight of the Order.


Male Human level 12 DM

Okay folks, if your character has not yet been posted to gameplay it is not too late. We have not yet reached capacity there is still time to jump in.

We will be starting very soon, however, probably tomorrow. First I need to settle something. Please go to this link and vote in this survey.

Then roll a 1d12 and PM it to me.

Thank you.


Male Human level 12 DM

Well folks, the results were overwhelming. Tyr, lawful good god of justice has carried the day. For those who did not choose Tyr you do not need to change your character, this just means you have a reason to be doing some work for the Tyrian temple. If you need help figuring that out I can help.

Tomorrow we ride!

Torith, don't forget hit points are max then average.


Male Human level 12 DM

Okay folks, here we go. Don't be afraid to ask questions, of myself or the NPCs. Remember to take action when the time is right. Keep in mind that dnd is for heroes, people who want to make all worlds better. Feel free to throw ideas and details out there, I like to hear your ideas as much as I like to share mine.

Anyone who has not yet made their character it is not too late, feel free to jump in at any time. we have not come close to reaching capacity.


I should have ye a post later today.


almost finished with my warlock. Just trying to decide if I want a blade lock or not.


just need a name of a noble to be ready.

    Male Human level 12 DM

    I find it funny that we have three characters over 6 feet tall and 2 dwarves.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    Okay, folks another week. I try to jump in on weekends, but it just didn't happen this week.

    Apologies.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    Don't worry about it. The site has been having some difficulties, so I think we've all been having issues.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    I get what's causing the website troubles now. The humble bundle traffic is overloading the site.

    Part of my warlock partron package.


    Wounds 9/14; FP 3/3

    Telepathy from the Old Ones pact is pretty much the only reason I've played a Warlock.

    EDIT: Not that I'm saying Warlock's a bad class, btw.


    Bah, ye magical folk with yer fancy tricks n' pranks.


    pst, paladin, detect evil?

    Look at the birdies.

    ^^

    We could've nipped most suspicion in the bud, but alas.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    Sorry for my absence this week. Let's get this thing moving again.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    When it come to initiative I do it like this. I roll for you, since if I ask you to roll it might take an entire day just to get those numbers. Then I group you together into before the opponents and after the opponents. If I put people in order it just slows things down since everyone needs to wait for just one person. This way three people can act in any order available.

    If you have another method I'd love to hear it. that's just the system I've come up with.

  • Spell Save DC 13, Spell Attack +5
  • Warhammer +3, 1d8+1
  • Javelin +3, 1d6+1
  • Can we get an updated map? Maybe on the campaign summary area at the top of the page? (so we don't have to search for the link later)
    I'm having a hard time visualizing all that is going on.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    Here is the map. I had to stretch it out a fair bit. Also the third room is not quite the right size.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    sorry about being offline for a few days there. I had a sudden run off ill health but i'm rested and ready to go.

    I'm a little lost with what is happening. Would you be able to update the map?

    Did the demon or whatever it is appear in the cage with me or outside? Is it pushing the cage I'm in?

  • I'm sorry guys, I'm bailing out of this one. Posting is too irregular, people have dropped out, and lately I can't seem to tell what's going on clearly.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    Thank you hedgerow for letting us know. you've been a great and helpful player. I hope we meet on the campaign trail again.

    Azayzel. At this point I think it's just you. Torith and Ashi haven't posted since the beginning of the week. I'll update today and if we don't hear from them, if you even want to proceed a la trois we'll either shut it down or forge ahead as appropriate.

    The demon did appear in the cage, and then destroyed the three cages on the east (by throwing them onto a small child) and then disappeared. It sort of threw the cage up and over, removing them from the hallway but not without some danger.

    Still here. Not sure why you mentioned I hadn't posted since the beginning of the Week, Tuesday in fact. You were out of commission with your illness, so I was waiting for your response to my action.

    I'm here for the long haul, there may be times due to RL that my posting slows a bit, but I'll always try to get a post in a day.

    Happy trails Hedge.

    So you think it's just Ash and I?

    Anyone else still playing please post a comment here on the discussion.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    I'm sorry Ashi. I had missed your post.

    Looks like Torith is still with us, so if you are game to proceed wit h three I'm willing to push on.


    Id like to apologize for my sudden absence. Lots of things came up that I had to deal with and I was without access to the site or other internet options for most of a couple weeks. At which point this site was at the back of my mind. After things settled down I remembered that I never got the chance to let people know. Due to my rudeness and sudden absence I'll bow out completely and formally if you so wish.


    Male Human level 12 DM

    Sorry folks, I won't be able to continue with this game at this time. Thank you for your time.
