Here we go. ;) Make sure to know whom your character is paired up with. Look at the discussion thread to find out.

Shadow In The Sky

Cue Music

Riddleport is a wild and dangerous place. It is hard to explain why this place still stands strong, but it does. A strange shadow in the sky only brings more mystery. Maybe knowledge about the shadow in the sky can be gleaned through examination, study, and a good ear.

-----------------------------------------

Knowledge Local DC 10:
The darkness in the sky of Riddleport is known as the Blot.

The local cypermage and stargazer noticed the Blot before it was visible to the naked eye. He called it the “atmospheric shadow” and it was subsequently named for him as it became more visible.

Knowledge Local DC 14:
The Blot first appeared over Riddleport about a month ago and has remained in the sky ever since. It has changed size and shape and has even disappeared intermittently, but has always returned for hours.

Blakey flew up to investigate the eerie dark Blot a week after it appeared, and reported that the interior was strangely cold… but that the Blot itself seemed no different than a regular cloud

Knowledge Local DC 18:
The overlord has offered a 500 gp reward to anyone who can determine what the Blot is and if it poses a threat to the city. Many have undertaken the challenge… but so far there have been no results.

Blakely’s been out of town recently, on a long journey to Maginmar and thence to Korvosa to research the Blot in the libraries there. In his absence, the Order of Cyphers has been leading investigations on the Blot.

-----------------------------------------

Knowledge Arcana DC 12:
Riddleport has a long history of mysterious phenomena connected to its infamous Cypergate Riddle… the long sought hidden purpose of the stone arch that rises over the harbor. Old accounts tell of the strange lights moving in the sky and sounds issuing forth from it with no explanation. The manifestation of a shadow in the sky is something new, though.

Knowledge Arcana DC 16:
No known magical traditions explain the existence of the hovering shadow, and it does not bear the trappings of any known spell.

Knowledge Arcana DC 20:
The wizard Argentus Blakely postulated that the Blot is some sort of convergence for focusing arcane energies. He has yet to prove his hypothesis… but is running several experiments to test the validity.

-----------------------------------------

Knowledge Nature DC 10:
The Blot has no known analogy to nature

Knowledge Nature DC 15:
Birds and flying creatures appear to avoid the Blot. Although… it resembles a dark cloud, the wind seems to have no real affect on it.

Knowledge Nature DC 21:
The movements of the Blot seem to be related to the tides… it is at its largest at high tide and at its smallest in low tide, although periodically, changes in its size seem to occur at random as well.

-----------------------------------------

Perception DC 10:
The Blot changes shape and size somewhat, but is generally ovoid in shape and hovers alternately over the harbor and gulf just south of Riddleport. It is dark like a shadow… but does allow some light through, albeit dimly, and flying objects can faintly be seen through its obscuring haze. It casts a faint shadow on the ground beneath it depending of the sun.

Perception DC 15:
The Blot hangs at a fairly constant altitude of about 2,500 feet and appears to be roughly 250 feet long by 130 feet wide.

Perception DC 18:
The Blot seems to move in a pattern that appears erratic until studied closely. It follows an elliptical orbit traveling north over the town and south over the gulf, shifting north and south as the tides shift. It is closest to Riddleport at high tide.

If you roll higher than the dc, you can look at them.

Although the gambling hall known as the Gold Goblin stands in a much neglected neighborhood and the building itself has long stood dormant and empty, it make a comeback as the big day comes. Crowds of participants and spectators mill about on the street or file together through the main doors to sign up for the tournament. Overseeing this gathering is a larger than life size statue of a goblin. Apparently cast in glittering gold, that stands atop the entry stairs with a smirking expression on its face, as if personally enjoying the crowds that shuffle past it into the doorway beneath the gambling hall’s gilded dome.

You guys are in different spots in the crowd outside with your partner.

Congrats guys. It is going to take some time. I ordered the first and second parts of the ap. I have not received them yet from the mail. Also, I have to wait for my friends responses. Feel free to discuss.

This the list of things that I want to keep maintaining.

1. Respect and Compassion: As a DM I must respect my players and take care of my players. Hopefully, Our respect and compassion will be a reciprocal relationship.

2. Enjoyment: I must make sure that everyone is enjoying themselves. Seriously guys, I am truly humbled by you guys taking your time to be in this campaign. Time is extremely valuable and limited. We only have so much time in our lives. I must make it worth your time.

3. Advocate: I will hear your questions and concerns to the best of my abilities. I will answer your questions. I will represent each one of you and help you guys out.

4. Story/Writing: I will fill my words with detail and decent grammar. I will make the best effort to make you guys care about the story.

5. Being Humble: I will accept criticism positively and work with you guys to constantly improve my DMing.

6. Risk Taking: I am going to take risks to give players unique and different play experiences. I will know the rules to break them properly.

7. Balancing: Keep the experience challenging, but not make the encounters broken.

8. Player Improvement/Learning: As a dm I seek for my players to truly benefit in this experience. D&D is an art form that has alot of insight. I will challenge you guys to take the next level as players in your writing and roleplaying.

9. Consistency: I will be consistently posting daily to move the campaign along. (Unless something makes me super super busy or an emergency.)

10. Determination: I will be determined and never give up on the players. I will seek constant improvement. There is always something I could do better.

We are really working together. We are working together to create a strong narrative. I am not seeking to win, but I am seeking you to learn and be happy through this campaign.
