Tomb of Horrors? (Inactive)

Game Master leinathan

Centuries ago the dwarven oracles predicted the end of the world, an end that would come in the form of arcane magic. The natural dwarven distrust of magic is routed in these prophecies, but for a few clans it became an all-encompassing obsession to prepare for this final battle. Clan Vrektel was one of those clans. Magic had its place of course – it is hard to deny the added power an enchantment can give a weapon or armor – but the clan strived hard to keep themselves ‘pure’ by following the old ways and limiting its exposure to the corrupting influence of the arcane.

On the day of Bromen's birth the clan received another prophecy: the time was at hand, and this child would be the weapon against the enemy. His father Aralak was one of the clan elders and greatly respected, and he could not have been prouder to learn that his blood would have a part to play in the coming apocalypse. That very day the preparations started - ancient divine magics were used to alter the child’s normal dwarven abilities against magic, and he was trained in ancient traditional dwarven combat. His entire life he was given a single goal: be ready to fight against spellcasters to stop the end of the world.

The training was rigorous. Bromen was taught various strategies for stopping the threat of a spellcaster as they hide like cowards behind their minions and cannon fodder. He was a good study, but since the clan knew he needed to be the penultimate warrior they trained him at an extremely slow pace.

On his 50th nameday there was a final prophecy. He was never told the details, just that it was time to go forth and fulfill his destiny. The clan was concerned that Bromen was not ready – he had mastered every technique they had shown him but he had so much more to learn, and while his immunities to magic were better than most he had not yet learned how to use that to disrupt the magic-users he was battling.
The oracles would not be swayed: it was time, and ready or not Bromen had to begin to fulfill his destiny. The clan gave him a dorn dergar of amazing quality, and Aralak proudly gave Bromen the fine armor he himself had been crafting for his son for years.

The only piece of the prophesy they would give him was a name: "Heldren". The young dwarf set out that day, eventually learning of the Taldoran village by that name and making his way there.

For over a decade he traveled around and near the village, but nothing happened. Unsure if he had misheard the prophesy but not willing to go home, the dwarf began tracking down rumors and hints of arcane dangers. Anything from a wizard grasping for power to a dangerous artifact, he achieved many victories and won many spoils. Sometimes he ventured with a group but never for that long. Its been almost 30 years since he left on his quest and he still feels his destiny unfulfilled. Upon hearing of the lich and the Tomb he felt compelled to add his skills to the quest, perhaps this time finding his place in history as was preordained so long ago

Description
Shadassa Nal'p is a sea creature dipped in fire. The otherworldliness of her compelling personality and beauty belie the fierce loyalty and the curse that grips her in the heat of battle. Her hair is the red of burning metal and her eyes are pools of fire. A tail able to convey her through water and upon land alike merges with her human torso. Shadassa is haunted by the deaths of her long time adventuring companions. She is equally content to gently nurture the sick, command a diplomatic situation, or unleash unforgiving gouts of flame.

Background
"By Gyronna's wrath, you'll pay with one more child--your own," gasped the priestess as her lifeblood leaked out of her from the grievous wounds dealt by the merfolk ranger. Niwraysse did not think much of the curse at the time; she was too busy rescuing children of Outsea stolen by the Gyronna cultists. Some years later, though, when she bore her first child, she learned the truth of those dying words. Shadassa was born with the coloration of fire, and worse, spoke the tongue of the fire elementals when in great distress. The many arcanists and priests of Outsea could not remove the curse, but they were able to redirect it, giving Shadassa the gift of controlling fire and flame. A curiosity within the already curious community, she studied with these arcanists as a child, and then, too soon, set out into the world on her own, feeling somewhat like a self-imposed exile from a place of exiles.

The oracle soon found herself adventuring with Seldren, a hard-bitten fighter, and Corvilien, an elven mage, throughout the River Kingdoms and beyond, making a name for themselves as rescuers, liberators, and general heroes-for-hire. This all came to a sudden brutal end in the dark forest of Nidal. They had been chasing a cabal of undead who operated a network stretching up to Ustalav, and upon reaching Nidal, found themselves outgunned and outnumbered. As Seldren and Corvilien perished under the fangs of vampires, Shadassa had to incinerate friend and foe alike, weeping tears of flame.

In the ashes of the battlefield, she discovered artifacts worn by the vampires and a name inscribed on several: "Acererak, The Deathless." Determined to find the creature behind the name, Shadassa pursued myth and rumor in musty tomes and decaying tombs, burying her grief in her quest, until she found herself in the wilds of Cheliax, facing a lonely hill and holding a map in her hand.

Gralamin is nothing like your typical fortune-teller. No mysterious auras, no bones rolled on a mat. Just a fairly normal looking man, approximately 5 ft. 8 in. tall with dark, receding hair and a crow's peak. His haunted blue eyes, however, do seem to see things that others do not. Dressed in stylish robes of deep green, he cuts a not-quite-impressive figure.

Fascinated by the fickle hand of fate since he was a child, Gralamin was deeply impressed by a Varisian harrower's prediction that his parent's prize cow would die mysteriously within a week. The concept that man could see into the future and warn others deeply impressed Gralamin, and as soon as he felt himself old enough (age 13), he ran away from his farm to join a Varisian band. Though he himself is of Taldan descent, his eagerness to learn the secrets of harrowing earned him a spot as the fortune-teller's apprentice.

Luckily for Gralamin, his master, Kolothra, was not a con man, but a harrower with real talent, though poorly developed. He could cast a few rudimentary spells, but had an incredible knack with harrow cards. The old man taught Gralamin what he knew, and quickly determined the apprentice would far outstrip the master in terms of magical talent. He encouraged Gralamin to study more than just harrowing.

A few years passed, and true to Kolothra's prediction, Gralamin was soon more talented in the arcane arts than he. Knowing he had little time left to live, he cast the harrowing for his apprentice. Gralamin, it seemed, was destined to travel to Magnimar, and take up an apprenticeship with Jenya the Dark, a notorious wizardress infamous for her dark magics.

Troubled by the harrowing, Kolothra nevertheless travelled with Gralamin to Magnimar. His health rapidly deserting him, the fortune-teller struck a deal with Jenya – Gralamin would serve her unswaveringly for a period of ten years, and she would teach him. Gralamin wanted no part of the deal, but could not refuse the dying request of his beloved master, and reluctantly agreed. Kolothra died a mere two days later.

The next ten years were horrific. Jenya worshipped the Pallid Princess, Urgathoa, and was enchanted by necromancy. She forced Gralamin to aid in her in all manner of the worst magic imaginable. Raising the dead, forcing souls from their bodies, spreading disease…she was enamored of it all. Repulsed by the foul magic, Gralamin nearly gave up his studies, but always Kolothra’s final harrowing bolstered his determination. If Gralamin could withstand the horror of his training, he would become a great force for good. And so he endured.

As his decade of slavery drew to a close, Gralamin plotted. While Jenya had little use for divination magic, he knew of its power firsthand. He was sure Jenya planned to kill him and raise him as an undead abomination the day before his release. When she came for him that day, he was nowhere to be found.

Gralamin travelled to Korvosa, determined to be his own master. When he arrived in Korvosa, he immediately found a tavern and began attempting to drink away the memories of his apprenticeship. It was there he met up with the Order of the Lion, an adventuring group in need of a wizard. It seemed they had been hired to stop a necromancer from defiling the city’s graveyard district.

Gralamin volunteered, and found his calling. His blend of divination, foresight, and powerful necromantic training was a boon to the Order of the Lion, though the wizard swore to never delve into the darkest parts of necromancy such as those practiced by Jenya the Dark.

Several years passed, the happiest of Gralamin’s life. The Order of the Lion was his new family, and they were a strong force for good in Korvosa and its outlying regions. Then tragedy struck. The leader of the Order, Regulus Strongarm, died in a fierce battle with a clan of aggressive stone giants. Distraught over the loss of their leader, the rest of the party determined they would kill the famed red dragon Xiuhcoathal and use his treasure hoard to return Regulus to life.

Gralamin was uneasy, and his divination magic and harrowing only made him more so. The cards and omens all pointed to one thing – sure death. He tried to warn his friends and family, but they wouldn’t listen, too overwhelmed with grief. Mourning his friend’s loss himself, Gralamin refused to accompany the party. Harsh words were spoken, and Gralamin found himself unanimously kicked out of the adventuring group.

The wizard returned to the tavern in which he met the Order, again drinking to forget, and hoping his readings were wrong. Alas, as the days and then weeks passed, and the Order never returned, he knew he had been right. The Order of the Lion was dead.

Unable to stomach the sight of Korvosa any longer, Gralamin has returned to the ways of Kolothra, travelling around doing harrow readings for peasants. But he is a deeply unhappy man. What happened to Kolothra’s prediction that he would be a force for good in the world? Surely there must be something more out there for him, some way he could redeem himself in his own eyes?

Clow was a rare birth between a vampire noble of Osirion and his mistress, a housekeeper of little standing. Despite being a bastard, Clow was raised as a true son of his household, although under Osirion law he was unable to take his family's name. Clow's father being what he was, it was unlikely for Clow to come into an inheritance any time in the near future, so he became a tomb diver for the various research groups exploring Osirion's ancient catacombs, though he has little interest in history, just the excitement of discovery and exploration. Not all people understand the nature of Osirion's connection with their honored dead, so Clow often worked through an intermediary and spent much of his time amongst the ghosts and ghouls of the tombs. Clow believes in Nethys's principles of magic and believes that all magic is inherently good, only the nature of its users perverts it. He therefore gives little regard to conventional wisdom regarding alignment descriptors and uses whatever means are at his disposal to achieve his ends. That said, Clow has seen enough people die to the traps of the tombs to not want it to happen again. He straddles the line between undeath and life and sees no conflict in being a part of both worlds. Having heard of the dungeon crawl of a lifetime, Clow has left his homeland to challenge this lair head on.

Kit was found at a temple for Sarenrae as a cub, abandoned by her parents for reasons known only to them. This fact no apparent effect on Kit, as she grew up among her fellow orphans with a endless curiosity about everything except her parents. This curiosity led her to explore everywhere, and by the age of 6 she knew every hidey-hole and every secret passage in the temple, and had terrified the priesthood by being discovered halfway up the outside of temple's bell-tower.

After exploring the temple, Kit soon turned to sneaking around for kicks. She had discovered that she was a member of a rather uncommon race, and people would react she she hoped when she suddenly jumped out of a closet. She also became adept at swiping goodies from the kitchen, but managed to escape most of the ire these events generated by sharing the goodies with the right people. Many a time did Sister Diana storm into a room looking for a plate of cookies that had vanished to discover a priest enjoying one, and a obvious lack of Kit in the room, despite the fact that she was in the room right up to the moment the door was opened.

When she turned eighteen, Kit was given the standard offer to join the temple as a sister, and there where a few sighs of relief from the priests when she turned it down. A few days later, she was ready to leave the temple for good, and with her few possessions in a bag, she set out, giving Sister Diana a cookie before disappearing into the crowds.

Since then, she has wandered the world, seeing the wonders of the world, and helping several adventuring parties along the way. She usually parted company with them in good terms, excepting the times when her boundless curiosity got the party into more trouble than necessary. During her wanders, she has heard tales of an impossible dungeon, said to have treasure beyond measure, and containing traps of lethal design. With every story heard, Kit's urge to explore grew, and now she believes that she is ready to take on any challenge, be it trap, magic, or foe, and come out on top.

After all, a thing is only impossible because nobody has done it yet.

pay no attention to that stranger in the trnchcoat that seems to show up at any game you do
