Subject: Crimson Crusaders Registration Officially Closed
Registration for this adventure is Closed as I will be playing the Dwarf Cleric in addition to the Halfling Fighter and my Castle Keeper duties!
Reminds me of Land of Xenophobia when I was playing the PC Wizard character and also NPCing the Barbarian and Bard characters who were integral to the plot and story of that adventure!
The Crimson Crusaders should be well underway in the next few days!
Lurkers Enjoy!

Subject: Creative Juices Flowing
I have really enjoyed reading the Rogue and Barbarian posts from Luthor and Nomad D2.
Since malek04 was forced by RL to bow out, I am currently working on the backstory for the Dwarf Cleric.
Gandalf the Smooth will be submitting his story in a couple days [he lost almost 2 pages that he was certain was saved on his laptop!]
I am certain that Brianna is creating another great backstory and character as she is famous for here at the Inn and will be well worth waiting for with great anticipation!
Ayrn is working on his as is Odyson.
Meanwhile, I am also cultivating the storyline and plot from Botkinburg that launches us into the unknown!
Plus a few of my infamous heiroglyphic maps to include from time to time for comedy relief and to give players an idea of where they are heading to!
Soon the Lurkers will have something more to feast their eyes upon and slake there thirst for adventure!

Topic: Call for Crusaders
Subject: Short Notice
malek04 informed me that some real life issues are piling up forcing his characters in other games to be NPCed by the DM/GM and that since this game has not yet started, perhaps someone at the Inn would like to sign on as the Dwarf Cleric?
If no one steps forward I will just go ahead and write up a name and a backstory/history and if someone wants to get in later they can play this character.
It would be helpful if someone else would sign on and create the Cleric according to the guidelines, but if not, then I will just do it to get things underway on time!
All the best to malek04 and a swift return to your other games and characters!

Topic: Crimson Crusaders QnA
Subject: Lengthy Intros
From the feedback I have gotten from half the players they already have 3 or 4 pages typed and still have to finish them (editing at their discretion!)
I suggested to one person that if they cut out any of their original backstory, they could easily use that info for a flash back memory during the course of the adventure!
Looking forward to everyone's contribution!

Subject: Shaman Deity Atira the Mother Goddess
At this time your Shaman possesses neither of the artifacts!
The bow is only granted to hunt food when your people (or people you want to help) are starving and need food.
Only used for hunting game and will not work against Humanoids (orcs, goblins, evil humans etc)
The Quarterstaff has not been found yet, but somewhere along the way during the course of the adventure it will be found and granted to you to fight evil.
Some characters already will have an artifact or other ability granted from their deity, while others will have to get theirs at some unexpected moment during the adventure!

Topic: Crimson Crusaders QnA
Subject: Answers for Ayrn
1. Let us say that she has come from northwest of the Kellerwald Forest in the Myrkas Forest on the map. She was drawn to Asperdi the previous year when the Call for Crusaders went forth and is well acquainted with the so-called Curse of the Crimson Crusaders and even recites poems about the losses and hardships of the Crimson Crusaders that helped spread the fable over the winter that Gideon spoke of to the Empress.
You have the creative license to determine the state of her homelands and possibly where her people originated from.
Perhaps her people are refugees from the Red Hills from the Winter Dark Wars.
2. Her culture is from afar and in danger of becoming extinct (losing its heritage) which is why she is a Bard travelling and reciting poetry about Brigit.
So you have the poetic license to describe Brigit from the information provided about the deity. [She is extremely beautiful and has raven black hair and carries the special weapons and Raven icon that is listed in Brigit's deity info] (Like Xena warrior princess but much more beautiful wearing boots, a type of short leather armor mini dress suitable for fighting in, gloves up 3/4 the length of her forearms, a short leather armor halter top with armored shoulder pads thingies and arm bands between her shoulders and elbows)
She is a Warrior Poet this Bard of yours!
So her subculture is now rather small and she is received as an equal among many people and with a reverance as Bards are well received throughout the Realm of New Aenochia, especially of Good Alignments.
3. As a Bard of Brigit she is respected as Bards are revered with great respect by most people. Life has been harsh and Bards bring amusement and hope and lessons learned from past histories.
Worship of her goddess is not well known throughout the Realm of New Aenochia, but she is spreading the news with her poetry and there seems to be great tolerance for what she personally believes.
Although she is respected by and large, there are some who appreciate her and others are apathetic about her deity.
4. Your pre-gen character stats are listed in the QnA. You get to choose what your character has upon arrival at the river boat registration, but horses are not allowed (no room on the boat for horses!)
As part of your payment you get to choose equipment at no cost and there will be a wagon or 2 manned by NPC Characters to haul the extra equipment such as arrows, bolts etc. and also for transporting treasures to fill the coffers of the Empire to continue financing the fighting.
10 per cent of what is found and sent back to Botkinburg will provide for more calls for crusaders and help to purchase arms and equipment for further campaigns and hired adventurers.
You get to keep treasure and designate where it is to be stored for you in Botkinburg. The towns people and even other Crusaders respect and even fear the Crimson Crusaders because it is believed that a Curse will be upon them if they steal from any of the Crimson Crusaders.
They are convinced that a Blessing will be invoked upon them if they aid any Crimson Crusader in any way.
You can get a horse in Botkinburg if you like and consult the Bard Class info in the QnA to note what weapons and armor she can use.
You have the creative license to write about what her people use for weapons and armor.
5. Elves were nearby and the Celtic culture was mainly human, but your character is a Warrior Poet. The Celtic Humans waged war alongside the elves in the area as both races were threatened by extinction from the evil hordes that swept over the lands during the Winter Dark Wars.
Some Celtic Humans chose to mate with elves and the elves did likewise, mating from a necessity to survive the rigors of war! (Although some would have mated from an attraction of love had there not been a war!)
Many of the female elves were great warriors in their locale, as were the female Celtic humans, which made for stronger attractions between the sexes of both races.
Although some humans throughout New Aenochia may be racist and call her inferior, most treat her as an equal, but the reality of the situation is that she is a Warrior Poet and is viewed as Special by most every race she encounters in New Aenochia.
[Except of course by the evil humanoids and evil humans, but they will soon realize she is a special foe to be feared, respected and not underestimated in times of war!]
She is Definitely at War!
NOTE
That should give you plenty of ammunition to build your backstory and history!
Have Fun!
PS: She should actually emerge over a period of time as the inspired leader of this band of Crimson Crusaders because her Charisma [Prime] is the highest of all the 8 characters in this adventure!

Topic: Crimson Crusaders QnA
Subject: Question regarding Equipment
When you arrive at the Ruby River Boat you will have whatever equipment supplies you have chosen to use for your backstory to get you there.
My Halfling Fighter is just wearing a tunic, carrying 2 Short Swords and a waterskin. Mainly because he is feasting with Halflings all along the way during his journey to the registration site on the Hruesen River.
When we get to Botkinburg the Empress Pryzmira has authorized that her Lady Marchessa Fabressa not only pay the adventurers upon their arrival, but also supply them with whatever weapons, armor, equipment and horses they may need for their assignment.
No horses are allowed on the River Boat (No Room for Horses!) but if you want a horse to ride when we leave Botkinburg you get one as part of your mercenary pay!
There will also be one wagon or possibly 2 wagons accompanying the war party!
Extra arrows, bolts, weapons, armor and whatever your character asks for will be loaded on the wagon if you are unable to carry the load.
The second wagon (if I decide on 2 wagons) is for hauling treasure back to Botkinburg in your name by NPC Characters!
My Halfling will be storing his treasure at the Halfling Community and any other character is welcome to do so if you trust the Halflings!
Otherwise you will have to trust the Humans in Botkinburg to store any treasure and your 100 gold coins that you receive when you arrive.
No one will take your money for payment because of the Curse of the Crimson Crusaders and besides that the people in town are grateful for you venturing out to safeguard their town!

..... Saturday November 13 so I can post the follow up by Monday November 15.
I am currently writing my Castle Keeper posts for November 15 and hopefully for the following week before I fly to Ghana to teach at a Bible School.
My laptop and necessary tools for continuing this adventure will be with me and I will update the adventure from overseas as everyone responds within a reasonable period of time.
If things bog down I will NPC the adventure as I deem necessary for the active players to continue unhindered.
Looking forward to reading some great backstories!

Topic: Call for Crusaders
Subject: Closing Registration on Sunday November 7
I will be closing the registration for The Crimson Crusaders on Sunday, November 7.
If no one has come forward to play the pre-generated Human Female Shaman/Druid then I will either develop a history and play her along with my Halfling Fighter, or just drop her from the adventure entirely.
But I am leaning to keep her in the adventure!
I would also like the Histories/Backstories of everyone to be posted in The Crimson Crusaders by Saturday, November 13.
That would give me time to write up a post (which I am working on now by the way!) to get the action started and the plot development rolling along before I do some travelling with my laptop and adventure accessories!
NOTE
My next post as Castle Keeper is nearly typed and ready to tweak and post once all of the Histories/Back Stories are posted at The Crimson Crusaders game thread.
Once my next post is typed and saved in my laptop I will begin typing my next Castle Keeper post to help catapult this adventure into the unknown!

Just divide the map in half and from the Kellerwald Forest Eastward is the territory pertaining to our adventure!
The map was too large for Photobucket to upload, so I just forwarded the pdf to all of you for a visual to consult when creating your backstories/histories for your character descriptions to post at The Crimson Crusaders.
NOTE
I have my pdf copy on my desktop and just enlarged it to 200 per cent to look around at Botkinburg and its proximity to the Black Tooth Ridge and it came into view just fine!
