The last thing you remember was having your fortune told by Harrow reader using a strange deck of cards called a Harrow Deck. The past is hazy, and the present even more so. You seem to be in an enchanted garden of some sort, but the sky looks painted like the backdrop of a play, and the surrounding area also has a quality of illustration that you can’t quite put your finger on.There are white marble walls, stained by ages and overgrown with thorns,
surround this weed-choked garden. White cobblestones leadinto the open gate, flanked on either side by tarnished bronzeangels. An echo of a voice repeating ” I am sorry, but I had no choice. Defeat Zassrion and free me, I beg of you.” is heard in your head as you stand and try to get your bearings.
Generating a 9th level character can be a daunting task without herolab or a similar program. If you are interested in playing, but would like me to plug in the numbers for you I would be willing.
Backgrounds need not be too intricate, but you are 9th level so probably have made a name for yourself in some regard so perhaps some highlights of your exploits. In your background you should put how you arrived in the Harrowing. It should include an encounter with a gypsy harrow deck reader that read your fortune. I will use the dice version of the Harrow Deck in the back of the Curse of the Crimson Throne for readings. (D6 for stat D10 for Alignment). If chosen I will give you the specifics of that reading in the discussion tab and you will be given some traits/ability bonuses based on that reading.
*Recruitment Ends April 15th. I will be taking 6 players, understanding that I will probably lose 1-2 of you right off the bat as that is typical. When this happens I will attempt to recruit more as I bot the ones that left or fail to post at least once a day (24 hours). If you have any questions feel free to ask. Heavy handed suggestions on how I should run my game however feel free to keep to yourself or start your own game with.
dot with huge interest. 9th level is great! And the module sounds interesting. Do you allow Variant Multiclassing?
Interested. I am adapting a fighter for submission.
Do you allow Variant Multiclassing?
I see that is from Unchained. I have never used it or seen it used, but willing to give a shot for this one.
Recruitment ends on the 15th of April, next Wed.
I'm thinking about a Shoanti Shaman, I'll get the submission together tomorrow or Friday.

Wow, open races? Always wanted to try a Wyrwood....
Drak is from Daggermark, where he was initially created. He was originally designed as an assassin. He almost immediately rebelled and fled to Restov. There, his natural agility and speed made him a good candidate for one of the dueling academies. Drak did not take well to the chaotic societal life of Restov, but he enjoyed the strict standards of the academy and excelled at the Aldori style. He pledged service to one of the many Swordlords that frequented Restov as a means to pay his way in the academy. After his term of service ended, he left seeking further means to help the perpetuation of the Wyrwood race. His path eventually led him to Varisia, where he now finds himself at loose ends.

Not a bad start, just maybe add why you sought out a harrow deck reader. I may or may not add the reason into the module.
Nin Moq ratfolk Urban Druid
Sneaking in, he found much of his clan arrested (like so many of what were now the city leaders decided were undesirables) or missing and presumed dead. He himself was wanted on trumped up charges and the surviving members of the clans deciding to dig deeper into "old Kintargo" and escape persecution at the hand of the Asmodeans.
Nin escaped and travelled to Garund, spent years making a life for himself exporing and cataloging the northern parts of the continent, yet feeling aimless and needing direction until by chance he met Cantinada, an outcast Variasian witch living just outside Wadi in Osirion. She read his fortune...

Ellioti- Some kind of variant multiclass
I'm not settled at that at all. Just weighing my options. I have some half-finished concepts available.
What about guns? (sword-pistol pirate)I like the scenario, because our characters can literally be anyone from anywhere.
Glad to see Galahad around here! Great player, GM, make sure to get him for your game.
Harrowing is a cool module, and level 9 is always tempting... Especially with all the races. It would be very cool to play a drow noble, but they're so busted! Maybe I'll try to build a not so busted one. You mentioned occult... I guess I could try like a mesmerist? Someone to buff the party and debuff the enemies, chunking some good charisma?
Cheers all.
Guns are fine. No rush Mardaddy have a week before recruitment ends.
Dot for interest.
I have 2 PCs that are about the right level from prior games. One an Elven Wizard (Spellsage) the other a Tiefling Magus (Bladebound).
I'll have to think through which I want to submit.
I'm pondering throwing a character in for consideration. I had an improvised weapon/combat maneuver fighter in another instance of this module that fizzled out, so I might refine that and bring her in.
Ok guys I will add you to the list that way we know what others are submitting and ensure I am keeping track of everyone.
Ellioti- Some kind of something

I will submit a Brownie Familiar (Egotist archetype) and his young and unexperienced (yet somehow level 9) Duettist Sound Striker Bard Master.
It's unclear who the master in this relationship really is.
I want to play a cartomancer witch in this! I just can't not! XD

I've got a character sheet together for my entry, Kaelin Terrall. Link is in her profile. A more-fleshed-out story will be forthcoming, but the basics are as follows:
After spending her entire childhood squirming under the high expectations her angelic blood brought upon her, Kaelin's spent her entire adulthood using it to her advantage. Her life is about giving people reassurance and hope - whether it's rooted in reality or not. Sometimes that means defeating monsters that threaten crops; sometimes it means using smoke and mirrors to convince them that a fortune-telling or a seance is real. The important thing is that wherever she goes, their hearts are lighter...and her pockets heavier.
I could only open one page of your Character Sheet Kaelin. The bard and familiar is an interesting concept Ellioti.
Here's Nin Moq.
Though honestly, he is rather underwhelming considering the stats and abilities of the other two submission here.

Not really, you are a Druid so you have different strengths. Besides, you are getting +3 to the DC of your enchantment spells (on top of your stat modifier), that's pretty awesome.
Yes the +3 is great, but only vs humanoids, and druids have very sparse enchantment spells. I am not into doing things strictly for mechanical benefit, but... thinking maybe that combo would be better with a differently-focused caster.
Some other build, some other game maybe for the future...
I've gotten into another campaign, so I'll withdraw and leave space for others in this one. Thanks!

Hi GM! Here's my character for the game. :) Thanks for the consideration.
Rochelle is a Calistrian "Priestess"; born in a noble house, the drow takes particular satisfaction in seducing and entertaining men and women across Varisia. An entertainer by heart, the dangerous dark lady is very much chaos to be recognized, but not really evil. Pain, for her, is pleasure, and her way of life is hedonistic by fact.
She left the underground life while young - a bit over four decades - to wander across the lands near Ilsuria. She started selling her services as an hypnotist, but her considerable spell capabilities quickly gave her notoriety for much more complex activities, managing escorts and prostitutes, and the Varisian houses of pleasure became very interested in the customers she could attract.
Her whole act is daunting, and her very presence is intimidating. While martially the mesmerist isn't really any kind of force to be recognized (her whip and shield may be merely decorative), within her party she's a chess player and pieces mover: mining her enemies defenses or boosting her allies strengths. Her style is that of tricks and enchantments.

Hi I present Gerhek Spirit Walker, Shaman of the Lyrune Quah for submission. The background isn't as detailed as I would have liked, but with the holidays and some staggering work from home, I hope its okay
Gerhek is a shaman on the Lyrune Quah, 30 years of age, and heavily tattooed with the markings of his clan, and the ancestors who came before him. His faithful companion, a Forest cat named Nahkon, has been by his side for years.
Gerhek is of average height and build for a Shoanti, so tall and lean, he keeps his head shaved in the style of his people, and wears many spiritual trinkets and necklaces marking him as a shaman of his people.
He is an introspective man, who questions those around him and their assumptions. He has had many dealings with the outside world from his tribe, even as a spirit-speaker, because of this role he has taken on. He has aided Shoanti war parties against the orcs of Urglin who have sought to take land and goods from them, as well as travelled all over Varisia learning the spirits of the land. His horse Red Runner, is a loyal steed, who he has ridden across the lands in search of understanding and enlightenment.
Gerhek has aided some small Varisian settlements with spiritual problems, and has a good understanding of the other peoples who live in these lands. He treats those with respect who respect his ways, although will be quick to anger for those who dismiss him as a savage or as being uncivilized. Notably he was involved in helping a small fishing village with some Ulfen raiders from the north and was accepted by the people of the village for his role in healing the wounded and helping to stave off the raiders.
He has come to seek out the fortuneteller because his sister and her family have gone missing, and the spirits directed him to seek answers from outside the tribal spirits, so here Gerhek finds himself. He hopes the fortuneteller will be able to assist him in finding Narin, her son Mareth, and her daughter Kinnasi.

Full HP. Uh, oh...
Still around here and looking forward to it :) doing a little bump on the thread. If full HP means challenging, then in my head it probably means we will have more fun. I like the varisian “charm” of it.
Good luck everyone!
Over the years, the orcs grew complacent about Keyu, forgetting how dangerous his kind could be. On one such day, Keyu was being led from his enclosure to a special meeting of the Twisted Nail leaders, some entertainment before business. Keyu took the opportunity to grab a knife from an orc's belt and kill both of his handlers.
His wings were unused but whole, and with some difficulty, Keyu managed to take to the skies and escape Belkzen.
For a decade, he has searched the land for information that could lead him back to his people, but with no success. In desperation he has turned to the superstitious, seeking out a harrow dealer to find answers.
Mechanics are done, I just need to transfer them from my MW character sheet to a properly formatted stat block.

Upon arriving in Varisia, Drak's initial impressions were not favorable. To him it seemed a lawless land. However, he also had heard there were great opportunities for wealth, something sorely needed by the Wyrwood race. One of the first thing to pique his interest was the Harrow readers. He usually held such things to be nothing more than superstitious nonsense, and considered most "fortune" tellers to be charlatans. But he could not ignore the seeming universal Varisian belief in them. Deciding that if there was some truth to their ability, such an advantage would be very helpful. Following the advice of the few acquaintances he had made thus far, Drak went to see a Harrow reader that was not as well known, but within his meager means of hiring.
Here's Bastian, the PC for Jacob Trier. Full stats in profile.
A true-born son of Cettigne, Bastian was brought up on the once independent city-state’s tenets of Duty, Honor and Trust. He joind the Free City Militia at the age of 17, and was commanding a patrol as a corporal when the city was struck by famine and plague. While he labored to keep the streets safe from looting and riots, the epidemic claimed the lives of his father and two younger sisters. His widowed mother moved in with his married older sister, and Bastian devoted himself fully to military life.
In his commanding officer, Guard-Captain Xander Bretonne, he found a role model that would shape his values and moral choices. When Bretonne was imprisoned by the Molthune General Lord Irina Klim for subverting her orders to deploy the militia to the front lines in Nirmathas, Bastian joined an attempt to free the Guard-Captain and was forced to flee the city or be captured himself.
Wanted by the Imperial Molthune Army, he joined the heavily guarded caravan headed to Nidal through the Umbral Basin as a hired sword. On that trip, Bastian impressed his employers when he helped defend the caravan from a bandit attack. After arriving in Pangolais, Nidal's capital, Bastian started to have some misgivings about Nidalese culture, as he was exposed to a whole new level of tyranny and cruelty in Pangolais. He decided to travel further north after hearing that able-bodied men were needed for a "dream hunt" in the Atteran Ranches. Unfortunately, the "dream hunt" proved to be a full-blown manhunt for capturing Desnan heretics.
Bastian realized his sympathies lay with their quarry more than his employers and he helped the Desnans flee across the border to Varisia. Here, he now finds himself in a large camp of Varisians, at a loss for where to head next. Seeing guidance, he accepts the offer of a harrow reading.
His Cheliaxian heritage apparent, Bastian sports thick, black hair, dark eyes and fair skin. He measures a full 6’2 and weighs 180 pounds. His muscular frame and impressive strength allows him to move in his heavy armor with the same ease as most men move in smock and apron. He usually has his enchanted heavy flail slung across his back, and carries a back-up light flail at his side and a dagger in a wrist sheath.
Out of armor, Bastian favors practical and sturdy clothes. He is meticulous about keeping his gear in order. He carries a worn hip flask engraved with the four white castles of Cettigne and the words Duty, Honor, Trust, which he always keeps stocked with the best strong spirits he can find, to ward off night chills on the trail.
Bastian has a jovial and honest demeanor that invites trust and confidence. In the field, his military experience shines through as he both moves and communicates with meassured efficiency. At ease in camp or a safe dwelling, he is quick to smile and glad to offer his help with practical chores.
He has no qualms about his choices to abandon his formal duty to either the Molthune Army or the Dream Hunter posse, but he is troubled about being away from Cettigne. The fate of his hometown weighs heavily upon him, and thoughts of the city can bring rare episodes of depression.
Although raised on the faith of Abadar, his recent experiences have shifted his religious sympathies towards Desna and Milani. Bastian finds that these deities reflect his own desire to stand up to those who would break the will of free men and women to further their own gains.
Bastian stands at a crossroad, uncertain about how to proceed. He has yet to come to terms with his involuntary exile from Cettigne, and is torn between a desire to help free his home city from oppression and his inability to do so.
On one hand, he hates not being able to help his former militia comrades in what might soon be open conflict with Molthune. On the other, he been able to help others several times during his travels. And while he is unable to aid his fellow citizens in their struggle, there are plenty of others who can use his help and protection.
If he should somehow find a way to help Cettigne free itself from Molthune's grip, he will go to great lenghts to do so. Otherwise, he may accept where fate has taken him and focus on finding new meaning in his life, perhaps as a guardian of the Desna disciples.
Bastian was originally created for another game which unfortunately died. I have updated his stats and backstory, but reused the alias, so the posts from the previous game remain. This was also a map-less/Theater of the Mind game, so I'm familiar with that style of play.
As much as I wanted to be apart of this my work kept me late today at the only other worker, because of all the lay offs, couldn't come in. So I didn't get time to do her backstory. Crunch is done but the best part isn't... so I'll have to withdraw.
Hey guys! Just to get some news here. Is it still happening?
Apologies everyone I just returned from 5 days in the hospital. Due to the no visitor policy at the hospital my communication with the outside was very limited. I was diagnosed with DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) and was almost in a coma. I am not sure when this game will happen now, but I do hope to run it in the future.
Sorry to hear it, pal! Take your time, don't worry about it. A safe and speedy recovery.
Your health is the most important thing, take care! Glad you are out and doing better!
Sorry to hear! Take care of yourself and be well.
Do whatever you need to do to keep yourself well, we'll still be here.
DKA can be real scary, hasn't happened to me since I was a little kid, but I feel your pain.
I am checking back fairly often to see if there are updates. May be best I guess to PM us when you feel up to anything. Hope you nad yours are doing well.
