pat512's Dragora's Dungeon pbp

[pat512]

Status update: Most of my major deadlines are through, but I have another trip coming up next week and a fair bit of prep work to do.

I've been considering carefully, and I simply don't see any time before around January when I'd have the time to do justice to DMing three pbps. Keep on the Shadowfell has seniority (having started before 4E even came out!), so that leaves either Dragora's Dungeon or Wrath of the River King as the offspring to place on the chopping block.

It comes down to Wrath being the better-written adventure, more than anything else, so I've reluctantly decided I need to call it quits on Dragora's.

Players from this game will have top priority for filling slots to replace dropouts in either of the other two, should you be interested (and assuming you're not already in them!).

My apologies,
Pat

Thanks for the update and I understand. I'm filled up for pbp's at the moment, so no need to hold a space for me. Remember though, if you ever DM for me again, you owe me a crit.

Ahhhh !

*weep*

I understand. I'm looking forward to Wrath when it resumes.

[JZ]

BTW, Pat, can you give us some spoilers to Dragora's? What was the mummified hand about? And who was behind the attacks on the nobles?

[Rev Rosey]

I'll miss Rin, but I understand completely. Good questions JZ, enquiring minds want to know!

Hand:

Spoiler:

It carried a curse of avarice that affected the one to pry loose the dragon key. It would have worn off after a certain number of attacks on Barshevy's will.

Rest: Huge honking

Spoiler:

: The zain-kin were the descccendants of slaves of the Par-Hok sorcerer kings who died out ages ago. Dragora (the one in "chainmail" on the cover) and her dragon friend had found the entrance to their city and was trying to organize them to go out and conquer, more or less. The next phase of the adventure would have been more diplomatic, dealing with factionalism in the zain-kin city.

Thanks, all!

[JZ]

Thank you, I feel much better now.

Calling Dragorans:

I need a new player to replace a vanished one in my Keep on the Shadowfell game. Ideally, the person would take over the existing eladrin warlock, but I'm not too particular. I do have a fairly strong preference that the new character is a striker (ranger, rogue, warlock) to maintain party balance.

Race and class should be from the PHB, in fairness to the long-running players. Other options can be from wherever. Characters are currently level 3.

Please shout out ASAP if you're: a) interested; and b) not overly familiar with the module.

Thanks,
Pat

[JZ]

I'd be more than happy to take on the existing character, Pat.

[mordulin]

I am interested if there is a spot still open. Not familiar with the module. Got no problem playing a Striker.

[pat512]

JZ, you've got it, and thank you.

Here's the character sheet; feel free to tinker around the edges.

We're just starting a fight.

Mordulin, thank you, but as you look up you'll see that I'd promised dibs to people I'd left hanging when I had to cancel another game.

[JZ]

Thank you again, Pat. I'll jump in ASAP.

[pat512]

Rhianis, you're needed!

[JZ]

Gotcha!

Again, calling Dragorans.

My homebrew 4E game, Deathless, could really use a replacement player for an existing character.

The character, Henrig, was never even finished, so there's a fair bit of flexibility -- the fixed parts are that he was a particularly vicious pirate, and is now proud to tell anyone he's reformed. As is, he's a genasi (stormsoul or watersoul would be fine) sword-and-board (well, trident-and-board) straight-up fighter, though really any martial class would do. Characters are 6th level, and just fought off an attack by exceedingly large and vicious lizards on a mysterious island.

The game started as a PBeM, so the background isn't readily available to read, but we'll fill in whatever you need to know.

At this point, I'd rather not bring in an entirely new character; the remaining party of 5 is pretty well-balanced even if I don't find a replacement for Henrig.

Let me know!
