Part One: The Haunting of Harrowstone "Because I could not stop for Death –
We slowly drove – He knew no haste
We passed the School, where Children strove
Or rather – He passed Us –
We paused before a House that seemed
Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
Deep in the county Canterwall, a little closer to the Hold of Belken than most would rather travel, just by the shores of Lake Lias, lies the town of Ravengro. Once, its industry mostly centered on servicing the prison of Harrowstone--but that place has long since been abandoned since a great fire ravaged its halls, and now the townsfolk survive mostly by farming and fishing, the tragedies that once visited that place long since forgotten. Isolated and unimportant as it is, Ravengro rarely receives visitors. But today, it seems, is an exception, for four travelers have arrived in town and made their way to the home of the late Professor Petros Lorrimor. As they walk through the town, even the more mundane looking of their number catches sight of the occasional lingering glance or overhears mutterings about "necromancers" and "demonalotry", and more than one shop immediately closes its doors at the sight of them. A strange pallor seems to cling to everything in the town--the sky is gray, covered by clouds that seem to be eternally threatening a storm that will not come. There is one soul in the town who does not turn her face from the travelers. As they reach the Lorrimor Place, a rather unassuming home past the town center, they see a woman standing at the door, wearing a plain black dress and a mourning veil, her hair pinned back behind her head, and tears running down her face. As she sees them, she does her best to wipe away the tears and straighten her back before stepping down from the porch to greet them. "You received my letter," she says, her voice soft. "I am glad you were able to make it. I only wish we all could have met under happier circumstances. You have all arrived at the Lorrimor Place in Ravengro; take this opportunity to introduce yourselves to each other and to Kendra. Throughout this part of the adventure, you all will have an opportunity to build "Trust" with the town of Ravengro, which has various effects on your interactions with the townsfolk. As you are all newly arrived in Ravengro and are a rather strange and motley crew, your trust score currently stands at 20, which means you are disliked.
DM Lazulin’s Carrion Crown “Nor crown nor coin can halt time’s flight
A gentle hand will help the dead
I am looking for 4 to 5 players for the Carrion Crown adventure path; do you have what it takes to stand against the horrors of Ustalav? Character Creation
Bards, barbarians, druids and monks all have their alignment restrictions removed.
I do have two important caveats: you have to be able to get along with the rest of the party, more or less and you have to be able to work for the central goal of the campaign (which is fighting an undead lord, more or less). Background
Homebrew
Expectations
Please watch your spelling and grammar. Use present third person when posting in character. Ideally, I’d like to take this campaign all the way to the end and onwards but as PBP are prone to imploding so I'm not going to make any guarantees. Recruitment will close next Friday at 12 AM, US Central time. |
