Everyone had went into SandPoint for the SwallowTail Festival and are gathered around the hear Father Zantus speak. A sharp retort, like the crack of distant thunder, slices through the excited crowd as the sun’s setting rays paint the western sky. A stray dog that has crawled under a nearby wagon to sleep starts awake, and the buzz of two dozen conversations quickly hushes as all heads turn toward the central podium, where a beaming Father Zantus has taken the stage. He clears his throat, takes a breath to speak, and suddenly a woman’s scream slices through the air. A few moments later, another scream rises, then another. Beyond them, a sudden surge of strange new voices rises—high-pitched, tittering shrieks that sound not quite human. The crowd parts and something low to the ground races by, giggling with disturbing glee as the stray dog gives a pained yelp and then collapses with a gurgle, its throat cut open from ear to ear. As blood pools around its head, the raucous sound of a strange song begins, chanted from shrill, scratchy voices.
I have posted the into to Rise Of the RuneLords: Anniversary Edition. This will give you some background on the first book where you deal with the goblins. ROTRL INTO: The Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path begins as the PCs take part in the Swallowtail Festival in the town of Sandpoint, yet as the celebration draws to a close, a bandof goblins attacks! The PCs fight off the invaders and establish themselves as heroes, so when local bartender Ameiko Kaijitsu goes missing, the town turns to the PCs for help. Rescuing Ameiko reveals a conspiracy: her estranged brother is involved with a group that has gathered the goblin tribes for an even greater raid on Sandpoint, intent on offering the town up in sacrifice to the goddess Lamashtu. After tracking the goblins to their lair in Thistletop, the PCs confront the conspirators and defeat their leader, a bitter aasimar named Nualia who carries a curious amulet depicting a seven-pointed star.
Soon thereafter, a murderer terrorizes Sandpoint. Victims are left mutilated, and carved into their chests is a familiar seven-pointed star—a clue left by a madman calling himself “the Skinsaw Man.” The PCs eventually confront the murderer, an old acquaintance named Aldern
The PCs return to Sandpoint to help defend against Mokmurian’s raiders, then take the fight to Jorgenfist, the fortress of the stone giants. By infiltrating this citadel and defeating Mokmurian, they not only end the threat of the massing army of giants but also discover that Mokmurian was but another agent of Runelord Karzoug, and that the Sihedron Rune is a symbol he is utilizing to aid in his return to this world. Yet, there’s still time before Karzoug can fully regain his powers. Using Mokmurian’s library of Thassilonian lore, the PCs learn that the key to Karzoug’s defeat may be hidden in a lost dungeon called Runeforge, and that the route to that dungeon is hidden in a dungeon below Sandpoint. The PCs return to Sandpoint in search of that information, finding it in a recently opened shrine to Lamashtu guarded by an ancient lunatic from the time of Thassilon itself. Following the clues they find there, the PCs head north and enter the dungeon of Runeforge. After gathering components, they utilize the magical pool at Runeforge’s heart, transforming their weapons into potent runeforged weapons capable
Armed with the weaponry they need, the PCs make the journey into the Kodar Mountains to confront Karzoug in his ancient city of Xin-Shalast. The PCs will need all of their wits, magic, and might to prevail, for Karzoug has drawn his most powerful allies to his side to defend him
Everyone will be allowed to keep their characters. I am NOT making you recreate one. You may however need to tweak it ti fit with Rise of the Rune Lord. I will be using the anniversary edition stuff. If you want to make a new character please let me know. Also if you build a new character your current gear is transferable to the new one along with all money and what ever else you may own. EX: you have a +2 longsword but want to now have a +2 warhammer on the new character as he/she is a dwarf, that is fine. Any questions please ask.
Good day gentle folk. Here is you next mission if you do choose to accept it. After you return from the raid on the Heidmarch compound you visit with Vonzara and the others showing them all 4 maps you found. It is up to you whether or not you disclose what Nathaniel's orb showed you. After some debate between them, Vonzara convinces the others to send you to Absolom. You will have 2 days to prepare(this starts after Zel finishes her date with Zander.) All of the items you have ordered will be completed at this time. You will be sailing out of Sand Point to Absolom on the Pegasus. This is the fastest ship that he academy has at its disposal. Rumors have it that the ship flys in the air avoid all creatures of land and sea. Once in Absolom you are to contact a dwarf by the name of Mirandir. He is a cleric of Torag. If you are unable to locate Brother Mirandir, then go to the Crooked Staff Inn and request the services of Crash. Either one of these two men will be able to set you up with lodging and any other basic items you may need. I will see all of you Friday evening at 9pm CST. For those of you who have did some shopping in town and I did not post a price I will have that for you by Friday. If you do not have me on Skype I am Vonzara.
I went with the 20 point buy as I was rolling like usual, crappy. Being level 16 also helped out as you get the 4 stat bonus increases for every 4 levels. I ended up stacking Dex and Cha. Not sure if I'm going to keep the arcane archer PrC as it greatly limits my eidolon's abilities. So I'm going to say Summoner/16 and will be taking full advantage of being range and buffing while my eidolon is going to play the roll of tank/melee.
Thom: Here is my summoner. i need to finish getting her gear but the basics are there along with her back story.
Tweeking some stuff around. Name: Melima GaladelRace: Elf Age: 114 Alignment: NG Class break down: Vanilla summoner w/ biped (slam & clam) Eidolon, PrC into arcane archer Role filled*: Support. Ediolon will be a tank/melee style. I am willing to take skill money or healer stuff if it is needed. Background: Melima: Melima grew up in the slums of Katheer. Her adoptive human parents where into everything shady you could imagine. At one point her father ran a gambling ring and her mother did business with the underworld of Katheer. Since her parents where never really around, Melima had an imaginary friend named, Hector. Hector was her confidant and companion to help easy the lack of her parents. He taught her thinks like how to read and write, so she would be able to hopefully get out of the slums and make a life for herself.
Her parents where killed in a raid by the corwn. While packing up her things and cleaning out the house, she found a note atttached to black leather bound book. The note stated that Melima was the child of a Katheer noble by the name of Roslynn Delicroix and had been give up as she was not pure. The book attached to the note was filled with magical words. Melima did not know what to think of the note or the book. So she took both to the Delicroix house on the outskirts of town to find out if the note was indeed correct. After showing the doorman the book and the note, Melima was granted an auidiance with Sir Delicroix. He confirmed that Melima was Roslynn's child and the man Roslynn had been madly in love with was an elf named Dengal. However shortly after giving birth to Melima, Roslynn died. Sir Delicroix never forgave Dengal and has vowed to find and kill him. Sir Delicroix offered Melima a place to stay and anything else she needed as he had seen the error in his ways. Melima thanked him and only requested the means to go and study the contents of the black leather bound book that had been left to her by her mother, Roslynn. Sir Delicroix oblidged and sent to the best school Katheer had to offer. Now Hector was still a very active part in Melima's life. He was with her every moment of every day. One night while reading the book her mother had left her, Hector suddenly appeared in the room. Oh he was always there to Melima, but now he what physically there, she could see him and touch him. This excited Melima as she could actually touch Hector. Hector is a handsome man. He is 6'4 and weighs about 215lbs and is sheer muscle. He is looks like a half-elf and is dressed in black breeches and a dark blue shirt. His natural armor has the apperance of leather armor and is blue trimmed in yellow. In preperation for their journey to find Dengal, Melima gives Hector a crossbow. After spending three years studying the book Melima left the school and began to travel the world searching for Dengal, her birth father. In the last year her travels have take her all over. So far she has had very little luck finding the elf.

As Tasha walks away from Zeljka, a tall thin elven figure comes from the main building towards the female dorms. He stops back a few feet and is in complete awe and shock at the woman standing before him."Wow, Zel you look really nice. I like that dress one you." Zander says still in awe. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small silk bag and hands it to Zel. "You don't strike me as someone who like flowers and frills, but I do think you will like this." Inside the silk bag is a broach made of iron and copper. The broach is a shield with sword going across it diagonally. In the hilt of the sword there is a beautiful flawless pearl and around the edges of the shield are tiny black onyx. "I make that for you." Zander says. The tips of his ears have started to turn a rosy pink color to match his cheeks.

Zeljka: You find a seamstress next to the Jeweler, up by SandPoint Cathedral. She is an older woman and is willing to fit you for a dress. She asks you exactly what the dress is needed for and when you'll be needing it. While you are there she also lets you know that if you need anything else she is the person you need to see. Her name is Magda.
"Well..uh..there's this really nice place in town and uh..I was hoping you would go wit me tonight. There is supposed to be this bard in town who is really good. But..uh..if you and your friends have something else going on them..uh..well ..um yeah..I totally understand." Zander answers. He start to blush and drag the tip of his sword in the dirt while talking.
Gwendal: Lord Farsain looks at you for a second then motions for you to follow him into his office. As you're walking he begins to speak."So you think I may have knowledge of an Elven Cleric whom rivals the powers of the Gods themselves? No one that I know of even has that kind of power. Might I ask why you are looking for this woman so I may better help you." Zeljka: Zander looks at you with an odd expression, like he some how over stepped his bounds. "I mean if you don't want to I totally understand. Its just well..uh..you're pretty and I..uh..want to get to know you." He blurts out. |
