Probably in the Homebrew Threads once I get the original draft into my Skydrive Account. Any thoughts on a title? So far I have Brazen Lands or Kingdoms of Crimson Brass stuck in my hand.

Well I am just gonna think of this one on Hiatus and start work on my own campaign... Anyone interested in helping me iron out some details?
Well the Bronze Age Campaign might be run on here or another Online Game Site.
Mainly my own... I have been trying to learn more about Golarion unfortunately my IRL Gaming Group tends to like a bit more Fantasy than what Golarion offers.
Only thing is I don't really know Golarion...
Oh wow I never seen that before... Now I really wanna design a campaign based around an Uprising that brings about the fall of the Troglodytes...
Well I am the type of Player and GM that would rather have my Humanoid Enemies be a Race with Class Levels than a basic stat block from a bestiary. Adds more variety and challenges while making things slightly easier for building things like Minotaur Shamans and Troglodyte Chieftains.
Hmm... I just built a troglodyte inspired race... I now fear for my sanity...
Caedmon bolts upright with a sudden thought."Burning Rivers. I have only heard a little about them. Can anyone tell me more? Could they be connected to what we learned about the Burning Whatever the Orcs worship, follow, or whatever they do?"
Oh yeah. Kinda nice to play in a campaign where you don't end-up with moments that make you feel like your in a movie akin to Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
I thought Asheru was lurking about... Do we even have a GM anymore? Maybe I really do need to speed up my 'Beast War' Campaign...
By-the-way: If we get the chance to swap in new characters or such what is everyone's current plan? Personally, If we can't get a good replacement for Tupilek I might look into building a Fighter(Tactician). Though I am curious as to how the Archetype's Tactician Ability works. Such as does that Fighter gain a Feat or does it just grant the ability to give any Teamwork Feat they know?
"Yes, that is the best course of action for now."
"Sometimes all it takes is a little misdirection to case the enemy to lower their fists."
Caedmon grins at Bonewright."I thought of that. We can use that to our advantage. Make them think the Village has been attacked by a third party outside of them or us." Real Life Plan Example: Think of the Battle of the Black Field from the Civil War. The Missouri Bushwhackers made the Union Troops hunting them think they had been slaughtered when the Union investigated they ambushed the Troops and slaughtered them.
"A Paling? If we could set-up even a rudimentary Paling we might be able to hold out." Palings(for those who are new to ancient fortifications): A Paling was a basic wall built around a camp typically of wood and then inscribed with what was believed at the time to be Magical Symbols to reinforce it. Or even for Identification.
"That would still be helpful even if the Druids don't respond."
"I was thinking something with the Water... Though a Fire would be easier."Caedmon stops and thinks for a few seconds."A fire would be best for ease and it would allow us to clear areas that the Orcs could use to hide."
"That was one thought... Though not really one I want to use..."
"As powerful as necessary. When, or if, they notice we will know..."
I'm starting to wonder if I might should step up the speed on my Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age Campaign...
"Sometimes great sins must be committed for the greater good."
"It is a small chance but we might could cause a disturbance in the natural order that would convey a message to them that we need help. That and I believe your companion could carry a 'message' to a nearby hermit that could get him to help us contact them. That is if the hermit is still alive or the gate to his home is active. Well can he activate an item that summons him to a location?"
Caedmon suddenly speaks up in a voice heavily laced with disdain. "I might know a way to get a message to the Druids. They might could send some warriors and mages to help reinforce this camp."
*Cricket Cricket* So... What's up? @Asheru: What I was thinking of for you being one of the Faster ones is the fact that you aren't a warrior and aren't armoured.
Caedmon sits quietly thinking on what is to come.
"I will stay outside and keep watch."Caedmon sets up watching over the direction the orcs are most likely to attack from.
I would say that would be best.
"We make haste to the Camp. The fastest of us that can be effective even when tired should go ahead and warn the Camp. At the very least it might can be abandoned without the loss of life."Caedmon grits his teach as he thinks on what Bonewright said of the Orcs."So the mighty and proud Orcs are nothing but puppets of a Master. Perhaps a Half-Blood?"
I'm so happy that appeared.
It isn't a problem so don't push yourself. We have all been there at some time.
Caedmon grins and chuckles."Much better weapon than your current if I placed any bets."
Ah yeah that does make sense.
What do you mean?
Looking over the items while the Mages do whatever they are planning Caedmon speaks."The Blanket, Flint, and coins could be useful. The Dice could be usable as a distraction... Hmm what do you guys make of this?"He points to the hide.
Sorry, I said that horribly... What I meant was that you would serve better in the Messenger Party. That way you could help make sure the message was believed. How Caedmon sees this is: -This force is either a scouting/raiding/reinforcement party.
Killing them means less Orcs for the later battles, more Orcs killed, and more, non-Orc, lives saved.
Caedmon sighs."Here let us learn what that Orc hides. When we have that we will let each individual decide whether they want to join a Party to harass and slow down the Orcs or join the Messenger Party."
Well if I calculated correctly you would be one of the Faster of us...
What I am thinking is something similar to what happened with the Battle of Thermopylae. While the Spartans fought the Athenians were busy evacuating their City. The Spartans knew all along they wouldn't survive the Battle but chose to fight if it meant saving Greece. That is also why only those who had sons were chosen.
"What I am suggesting is the three fastest of us go that way we have 3 chances for the Message to get through. Though 2 could get through as well but with less security."
Caedmon scoffs."We are warriors whether we want to be or not. Our mission comes first. There are plenty of us to where this plan could work IF we work together and fight smart. We can attack from Ambush. The Majority will fight the Orcs. The 3 man team will push on to Human Lands."
Caedmon suddenly speaks up after remaining quiet all that time."One man can carry a message. The three fastest of us can leave and rush towards the human lands. The rest can attack the Orcs as a distraction. The fastest will be the Messanger. The other 2 will be a bodyguard group to take on any Orcs that happen to catch up or attack. Such as a forward scout."Stopping Caedmon sighs."It would most likely cost us our lives. The main thing we need to think of is the fact that our sacrifice could mean saving many lives."
Farewell, Mammothlord! If you wish I can switch in a better character when we can easily work in.
Yeah good luck getting rid of my stubborn arse.
S'all Good Captain. We will wait for you.
"We shall then proceed back."Caedmon begins readying for the travel."We will head back as quickly as possible. We must hasten to get this information to them."
"I agree Moklik is probably the best. The Mammoth Rider can stay near enough to hear if Moklik gets in trouble."
"If we divide then we can have a Scout that can tell us whether or not we are heavily outnumbered."
"Why not send a Scout and a support party shortly behind them?" |
