alright folks! lets get into this!
this game will be a forgotten realms game, set in the 3.5 setting.
story synopsis: Belagos, the flying flame, has begun his destruction and domination of Tethyr and Amn. His first act was to set flame to the entire Wealdath forest, burning countless settlements and killing thousands of humanoids and creatures alike reckless abandonment. The suddenness of his attack upon the lands catches everyone off guard, and the cry for aide fills the lands. The desperate plea to defend the innocent, to guard the helpless, to prevent a regional catastrophe from breaking out (and worse, growing beyond the borders) comes loudly.
are you brave enough?

special notes about this game
evil character: allowed, but in secret. if you wish to play an evil character, DM me. This doesnt mean that you will be able to attack the party on a whim; i will be watching out for this. if your actions will adversely cause strife within the group, ie just attacking party members with the reasoning "cuz im evil, derp", that will not fly. But, if you want to play an evil character that works with the group only to pull out a last minute betrayal during the grand finale, this i will allow.
how will levels be awarded? levels will be awarded from achieving certain plot points along the way. So, if you complete a chapter of the adventure, you will gain a level.
Death: yes, death in this game is possible. Players will need to learn when to recognize when they are in over their head, or an encounter is too much for them to take on. basically, sometimes it is ok to run away
also death: death occurs at -10hps. not your negative con stat.
since this is a level 16 adventure, i recognize that it will take players many days to fully flesh out characters. Being 16th level opens up tons and tons of avenues for players to indulge in. along with this, i have a week long camping trip from the 19th thru the 24th planned.
i will close recruitment on Sept 25th.
except for when i am camping, i will be available to answer questions.
