CCC-WWC-04 The Black Hand [5e Adventurers League] [Recruitment Closed] (Inactive)

Game Master Aeshuura

Aloha all! It has been a while since I ran anything on the boards. I have found that I have to run self-contained modules or I get overwhelmed. So, here I am running again!

So here is my thought, I have a few tier 1s that I would like to run, and I have a few tier 2s that I can run as well.

Is there enough interest in this game? We will be using Season 9 rules, since it started 9/17. (Which is a far improvement from Season 8.)

Tier 1 Module (CCC):
I have all four of the Tenets of Bane Series
- CCC-WWC-01 In the Face of Fear
- CCC-WWC-02 Dark Waters of Hate
- CCC-WWC-03 Tyrant of the Forgotten Forge
- CCC-WWC-04 The Black Hand

Tier 2 Module:
DDAL 05-04: In Dire Need (A favorite of mine, good for dwarves or heavy armored fighters)
DDAL 05-11: Forgotten Traditions (never played or run it yet)
DDEX 01-13: Pool of Radiance Resurgent (never played or run it yet)

Anyway, if anyone is interested, let me know!

I'm down, eager to try Season 9 out. I'd vote for the Tenets series, Bane is pretty interesting.

I'm interested, though I haven't yet played any Adventurer's League games - let me know if there's anything I should know.

(I've grabbed the s9 Player's Guide, and will review it shortly)

Well, for the most part that is all you will need! I will try my best to make it fun for you all!

We just need a third to make it an official table!

Don’t know much about season 9 rules at all (only played maybe 1 AL game a while back), but I’ve been looking for another 5e game (or two) so I’d be interested!

It is much more simple than before. You finish an adventure and you gain a level. One person at the table can claim the magic item, if it's been found, and the gold found is split up by the party.

It'll be fun! I will start this up next Wednesday, to see if we can get a little more interest!

Have a nice weekend, everyone!

You can post your characters here in the meantime, so that others can see what you are playing!

Aeshuura, do we need to start at 1st level? Both Shaldinari and Annett are 3rd and I'd love to play one of them again if you've still got room.

Nope. It's just Tier 1. Shal and Annett would be welcome! She may tier out if we end up going all the way, though you can opt to not level. Or, you could play Shal for two mods and Annett for two, should I run all four.

Ill make a fresh rogue for season 9 to take advantage of inherited malevolence...if you go with the tier 1 game.

I'd be interested in continuing my introduction to 5e adventures.

It looks like tier 1 is the plan!

Sounds good - I have several ideas for characters that I will find a way to narrow down by Wednesday :)

If you guys need more time, I can push it back to Friday. It can give you all a chance to discuss who you want to play!

I'm going to build towards an assassin this go. Its the only rogue archetype I've not really messed with, and as a DM I always screw up surprise rounds so maybe it can educate me a bit.

Sounds good. I will try to help you understand the mechanics well...

Traveling until Thursday, but I think Shal is pretty much ready to roll except i may adjust spells.

Applicant List:
Mishima - rogue
Donnell "the Fox" - undecided
Ken Marable - undecided
Shaldinari Vec - fey pact (tome) warlock 3
Zar Orbmark - wizard 2

@Zar, don't forget to update your character. You should be 2nd level now. What Arcane Tradition do you intend to take?

Did I miss anyone?

Sorry - I have characters made, I just have to stick one on here. It's just been a busy few days. In light of the rest, I'll likely go with a bard or some sort of melee fighter.

No worries. We will take our time, do it right. I know people are busy.

Ok, I'll take a look. I'm still learning the system.

No worries. The 4 ACP we got on our last module levels you up and I you get 75 gp. You don't need to worry about renown anymore. And you should be good!

I've been debating starting a new PC or not, but I think I will go with my kobold bard, Jiro the Unwilling. The other game I played him in (DDEX 3-12 Hillsfar Reclaimed) gave enough XP for 2nd level, so I think I will update him for that and see if there's anything else that needs tweaking, especially for season 9 stuff.

But I will work on getting him updated tomorrow.

Sounds good!

Update:

Applicant List:
Mishima - rogue
Donnell "the Fox" - undecided
Jiro the Unwilling - kobold bard 2
Shaldinari Vec - fey pact (tome) warlock 3
Zar Orbmark - wizard 2

I would like to put my name in the hat. I have a 6th level rouge and a 5th level wizard or I can whip up a 1st level Fighter.

mishima here, I'll be using this alias. Crunch in the profile.

Hello, I am new to Paiso, but I have been playing D&D 5E for about a year now. Is it possible to join your group? If so, what do you need from me? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Updated and ready to go!

I think I'm leaning towards the School of Evocation for my Arcane Tradition. I like the idea of being able to exclude allies in an AoE spell. (Although I am new to 5e so am willing to hear suggestions if that's not a good choice)

I'm also trying to pick my 2 new spells. I think this is an even harder part not knowing what is useful in actual game play. (Again - open to suggestions) I was thinking a utility spell like Comprehend Languages could be useful. Not sure if I need another offensive spell yet.

With Buckshot and Ilikemonks, that will close recruitment.

Buckshot, it looks like we are doing tier 1, so a new 1st lvl will be needed if you only have those two characters.

Ilikemonks, if you have played Adventurers League (Organized Play) before, then we will need a tier 1 character. If not, you will need to check out the AL Players Guide and create a character using those guidelines.

Players Guide can be found here.

@Zar, Evocation is a great school, especially for beginners and when you have frontliners. Most of the time, there is a nice mix of puzzles and combat, though some modules lean heavier toward one or the other. I am not sure about these, but I would venture to say that they will teeter between the two and some RP.

Applicant List: Updated
Blacklock - human rogue 1
Donnell "the Fox" - undecided
Jiro the Unwilling - kobold bard 2
Shaldinari Vec - fey pact (tome) warlock 3
Zar Orbmark - wizard (evoker) 2
Buckshot Bob - fighter 1
Ilikemonks - monk?

Looking good!

I'll have a character profile posted later today - I'm just putting to final details together. I decided on a Dragonborn Tempest Cleric.

Nice!

Ok, Donnell here - I've created Jarprax for this campaign.
Let me know if anyone has any comments or suggestions.

Buckshot Bob's Fighter.
Still needs a little work (Re-skinned) and will have it done on Friday.
