Subject: Keeper of Dragons


Welcome, glad to have you As I encourage everyone to read over the Audalis information, making a rogue cleric won't be a problem at all. Just pick a complimentary diety and I can help you every step of the way. I'm not in a rush to get this started, I want everyone to be comfortable with the world we'll be playing in, the terminology and such. I've actually gotten fairly decent at 2e conversions into 35 over the past few years, findins feats and class combinations to mirror 2e kits as best I can so it shouldn't be a problem.

Any questions I can answer I will.

AS for Classes:

I've got dozens of resources for classes and prestige classes, but I'm gonna try and stick with the Complete Series, Unearthed Arcana, PHB, PHB2, DMG, DMG2, or the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting which prestige classes (except for the Shadow Adept) can easily be modified into Audalis.

If there's an idea you're intereted in but don't know a class to suit it, Ask! I've got resrouces covering dozens of classes and prestige classes, from Blasters and bombadiers, warmages and walocks and witches and shamans, to pirates and swashbuckers to cavaliers and knights, assassins and alchemists to zealots and emmisaries, diplomats and politicians to temptresses and animal lords, beastmasters to bladesingers and the list goes on.

Subject: Audalis information


I chose Audalis partially because it allowed everyone to have access to the same wonderful resources, contributed by our very own Innmates, here on RDI.

If you look to the Menu bar goin along the top uner the banner, next to 'Home' is the 'Audalis' Tab, with maps, information on the country, people of import, legends, religions, races, cultures and more.

All your standard races are there, from humans to Elves (which are called Sylvari) to Dwarves (Which are called Khordaldrum or Khords) to Halflings (Cidals) and more. There are cultural based races, lizard folk (the Slaa'kar) and others. There are even Kobolds, though it doesn't seem like my entry for Kobolds has made it into the drop down menu yet, they are there!

Anyways, I urge you to look through all the wonderful information that brings Audalis to life, and if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask and I'll help in any way I can.

Hammer THrowin Spiders, WElcome, Brodeur, the writing sample though not what I specified is fine If you have any questions let me know.

Subject: Audalis: Tides of War: Recruitment Thread


Kaelyn’s got that new game fever!
So here it is the middle of the week, I’m caught up on all my games, and with free time to boot. What does one do? Get another job? Make up for severe sleep deprivation? OR, find yet another small way to spend more time on the beloved Red Dragon Inn.

The choice was obvious.

I’ve been mulling around the thought of starting a new game in our very own Audalis Campaign Setting; one I’ve played in plenty of times but never had the privilege of running adventures in. So, I’ve decided to do something about that.

So without further adieu I bring you.

Audalis: Tides of War:

Edition: 3.5 (2e conversions available, just ask!)
Starting City/ Country: Ethryn / Ertain
Starting level: 5th
Stat Adjustment: 4d6 drop the lowest add rest together
Stating Funds: 6,000gp
Races/Classes Allowed: Those native to Audalis
Number of players: 4-6
Posting Rate: 1/week

Recruitment Restrictions:
There’s only one Restriction: This game is open for those whom I have never DM’ed for before. That’s right, all my loyal gamers; you’ll have to sit this one out. This game is for those new and old of RDI that I’ve not had the privilege of writing a story for before.
So, all those new who are looking for adventure, and all you Moderator’s and A-Listers whom I’ve played with but not had the pleasure of running a game for step forth, and break the wall between the two groups.

Writing Sample: New or old, I'd like a sample of writing in response to the following, so I can get a feel for your style of writing and roleplay.


It had been weeks since Jarom Brightblade and the Ertainian Court had heard from Tharandul Greystave, his Academy representatives, or anyone at all from the city of Felarin, nestled deep in the woods for which the city gets its name. With increased signs of Sendrian military activity to the north, and rumor of all manner of shadowy figure and tale of monster in Felarin Woods, the Council has determined that word of the City’s welfare must be established, and as such a call has been put out for adventurers to heed the crown’s request for scouts and reconnaissance on the situation.

One would hope that a call from the King would pack the Iron Boar pub to the rafters with applicants; but it would appear that fear of the Felarin woods overpowers the common man’s sense of duty or honor. Only a handful of would be heroes, or those hoping to have the royalty indebted to them have arrived thus far.

Bugsy, a portly bartender with years of partakin of his own greasy servings evident as it seeped through his pores and shone in the lantern light, wiped down an aged and stained countertop. His bald pate bore numerous lumps and old bruises, likely from many a bar scuffle over the years. He scanned the common room as the last of the applicants were ushered upstairs, leaving the common folk to their drink in silence. It had been raining a heavy downpour this night, and thunder broke the silence of the tavern with a cacophonous roar. Suddenly, the door opened in a start, lightning flashing across the darkened sky, illuminating the figure in the doorway.

Katriana figured she had the intruder at a disadvantage, especially with allies closing in on all sides. She had uttered her warning, and saw fit to judge this transgressor under Warder Law, and in the name of Ragnarok her patron deity. With the enemy flanked and covered in a focused swarm, Katriana continued to claw at the man with the chevron tattoo. She would rend him limb from limb I need be.

Subject: Combat is joined


(This round will take place while those downstairs make their decision those that make it upstairs this round will be included in the next round. So feel free to post moving I round one, then any future actions afterwards)

Elesia’s spell faded, the low powered spell-song fading and leaving her almost topless standing some 30’ down the corridor into the cave With a quick weave of her fingers however, her ‘mending’ spell repaired her garments and she leaned against the cavern wall with a sigh of relief.

The rider who had seen fit to take advantage of Elesia finally picked himself up from the ground, drawing his longsword and cursing foully for his gullibility. He had barely found his baring, trying to get over the fact that purple flames still licked at his skin, illusion or not it was distracting. Not more so however than when his entire world went black, filled with milky shadow as Aelistae moved in to engage the attempted rapist. She slipped silently into the sphere of darkness her Elven court-blade ready to deliver swift justice.

The look on her face however changed to one of sheer surprise just as her enemies had when the darkness disappeared in an explosion of daylight. The bright light shed all shadow and darkness from the area, causing Aelistae to wince at the bright liht which attacked her eyes. Years before it might have caused her to drop her weapon and clutch at the blinding pain, but time on the surface had allowed an adaptation, and she blinked away the stinging sensation to focus once more on the danger before her.

“Drow!” Came the voice of the wand wielding rider, backing his horse up further from the melee. “I didn’t account for no damn Drow!” With that he wheeled his horse around and took off into the night as bright as day.

The blonde haired rider before Aelistae lashed out at her with his longsword, a swing heightened by desperation at seeing his terrifying opponent face to face. His wicked shaped longsword arced across Aelistae’s chest, splitting Nash’s over-shirt and drawing crimson from Aelistae’s bosom. (Aelistae -5hp)

Linnix herself was in trouble as well, as the mounted Warrior :lashed out at her with a sword of his own. Fortunately, Linnix was able to move around the small tree trying to kieep it between her and the rider. Taking out the magical blade, she dared strike out herself , but as she moved to strike, the sword sent a powerful compulsion through her mind: “Violence is not the answer”, and she could not bring the sword to bare. She did however feel as though the weapon bore her no ill will, wanted nothing more than to defend her, but taking the offensive was something she would have to mentally compel the weapon to do
(failed will save)

It was then that Aelsitae’s strange lover appeared, clad in nothing more than his pantaloons, and weaving a vicious magical double-blade around and around in a whirling arc before him. His sandy hair brushed aside as he moved, bringin the double blade to bear on the rider with frightening accuracy. With one twirl of the blade he slit the stirrups on one side of the rider’s saddle, and with the other, the blade came up and smacked the white stallion on the flank with the flat of the blade, the sudden jolt causing the horse to take off into the night, with the rider slipping as the saddle shifted and dangled off the left side as the horse ran free.

The rider, obviously caught in a bad position left his sword upon the earth and put his hands up defensively. “Spare me please, I’m only following orders. Really, I Don’t like what Mac’s doing, but he’s got the deed to me folks land, if I don’t follow him he’ll leave my parents homeless. They are too old to move again, he’d be condemning them to death!” The man cowers before Nash and Linnix, both with fire in their eyes. It seems almost to take Nash every bit of restraint he has not to strike the helpless man before him, but hearing Aelistae in combat steels him away from the situation, leaving Linnix with a charismatic wink to her choice as he goes to aid his lover.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Fire in the night


Downstairs, a wave of relief had washed over those who had survived, and found at least one survivor, a testament to their resolve and something to ease their consciences. Upstairs however, those that had been left to their own devices were now thrown into a tumult The Rogue riders had interrupted their slumber, some les peaceful than others, and now had Elesia trapped in the mouth of the cave as she apparently prepared to sacrifice herself for the safety of her patron Bartholomew.

Linnix, as thoroughly pissed off as any would have seen the young woman thus far, was now coupled with lack of sleep and the sights and sounds of riders in their camp, the nearest one waving a longsword at the branches before him while his horse picked at the underbrush.

I’ll Fix you Came Linnix’s bitter thoughts as she raised her crossbow level with the riders head, hoping to fell the rider in a single twitch of her finger. Her bolt sailed silently through the air, the rider’s keen sense alerting him to the impending danger just in time to turn him head on to the incoming bolt, which sunk deep into his chest, sending links of chainmail flying as he fought to stay mounted and cursed out loud against the pain.

“Ambush!”
(Rider 1 -12hp)

Turning and finally spotting Linnix behind the treeline, he mustered his horse onwards as he took a swig from a potion. Removing some of the pain as he visibly sat up a bit straighter and gripped his longsword that much stronger as his horse plowed through the thin foliage towards Linnix.

Nash and Aelistae too had quickly donned the remnants of clothing and slipped off into the night. As Nash circled around to the right, Aelistae moved to the left, hoping to get closer to the now dismounted stranger who even now approached Elesia with a wicked glint in his eye.

~~~
Bart stood up and threw himself at the stranger anger in his eyes.
“Elesia no, I can’t allow you to…“

*Smack*

Bart tumbled aside as the stranger backhanded him with a gauntleted fist, crumpled to the ground cradling the red welt which already covered a good portion of the poor farmer’s face blurring his vision and stealing his sense.


“Fool” was all the stranger said as he turned to Elesia once more, letting his free gloved hand caress her face, his leather bound fingers dancing upon her delicate skin, tracing down her neck to where her dress barely clung to the side of her arm, Elesia stood firm though her skin recoiled from the man’s touch, and she hummed a sweet tune filled with the lacings of spell-song. The man’s visage changed to a domineering sneer as he envisioned his new prize cooing him and his macho physique, his ego overtaking his senses. His fingers slipped under Elesia’s dress, and he ripped it free his eyes scanning to take in her naked form.

Suffice to say he was disappointed when all he was left with was a strip of satin lace from her dress, and Elesia herself was nowhere to be seen, her voice trailing off into the night air, the stranger’s face turning from shock to rage in the woman’s defiance.

“Whoring tease of a wench!” The man turned to remount his horse even as his companions words reached his ears.

“Ambush!”

The man moved to remount his horse, but was suddenly enshrouded in a wreath of purplish flames, and the man screamed as he dropped to the ground trying to put out the harmless flames which burned at his senses rather than his skin.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Down below, Kas was smiling as she helped Artanis across the bridge, Loriel the boy and Xaris in her wake when “Whoring tease of a wench!” echoed down the hall to each their ears.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The third rider, who had been thus far searching around the empty side of the camp had returned to the cry of his comrade, and scanned the area with scrutiny. He turned to his companion, who lay rolling about the round like a fool and shook his head.

“Get up you moron. The fire ain’t real! There be tricksters around and you’re dishonoring the guild succumbing to such meager spells. As he spoke, he removed a wand, and backed his horse away from the clearing away from his comrade, keeping his eyes peeled on the surounding area readying his action for a later time.


(To summarize, Linnix damaged Rider 1, who then healed and moved into melee with Linnix, Rider 2 dismounted attempted to disrobe Elesia was left with naught then faery fired and summarily chastised for believing he was on fire. Rider three has readied his action.. Nash is nowhere in sight, Aelistae is 30ft from Rider 2 about 45 feet from Rider 1 and Linnix, and Elesia is gone as well. Everyone downstairs has the option to respond to the words which reached their ears.


It will take those down below at least one full round to make it outside at a full run -Or mounting sunfire and moving outside)

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Wrap-up


(Summarily wrapping this up as best I can so everyone can get to posting)

Xaris was pulled up from the lower level, eager to give Kas the potions to help Artanis while he would o and aid Loriel in the pursuit of the fleeing orc Kas however explained the need to keep the ladder bridge secure, and Xaris trusted in Loriel enough that he would forgo the hunt, at least long enough to tend to Artimi in her dire situation.

Crossing the bridge tentatively, Xaris watched Loriel peek into the room before her before entering the room on the left where the remnants of a plume of smoke trickled along the ceiling. Xaris entered and found Artanis lying there, her chest rising and falling slowly though she moved not nor made a sound. Fishing through the pouch he pulled out one of the two blue potions. In his hands he pulled the stopper from the vial, and gently poured the contents of the medium blue potion past Artanis’ lips. She swallowed reflexively, and in a sputter opened her eyes though she cringed painfully as consciousness returned and so did the painful realization of what had happened as she took in the room. (Artanis 12/43hp)

Xaris cradled her head gently as she rose to a sitting position, painfully aware that her armor was blackened and her clothing almost non-existent save for the parts which had fused to her skin through residual static charge.

*~*~*~*~*~*
Loriel meanwhile had peered around the doorway, and found only a small 10’ square room lined with empty shelves and discarded foodstuffs. On the other side of the room was another open door, and further down the corridor the Orc flung open yet another door and darted inside, Loriel fast on his trail.

Slowing to look once more around the newfound doorway, an arrow quickly whizzed by her head. Stepping into firing range using the doorway for as much cover as she could, Loriel placed two arrows cleanly into the Orc, felling him where he stood. Looking around the room for any more unexpected guests, Loriel is surprised when she sees a cowering boy in the corner huddled over the still form of a middle aged woman a pool of crimson beneath her body. The boy looks up in shock as the Orc enters and screams, then screams again as arrows are exchanged and the Orc is killed before his eyes. In a change, the boys fear transforms into rage and he kicks and claws at the orc’s body, before charging into Loriel and clinging to her chest, arms wrapped tight around her waist crying into her bosom. “They killed mom!” He whined, the boy no older than 8 or 9 winters old. “They. *Sob *sob* They killed my mom”

(Checking the body will indeed show the mother to be slain and for some time as she is cold.)

~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile outside, the sleeping party members were interrupted rather rudely. The sound of hooves thundering into the clearing awoke everyone from their slumber. Eyes opened to behold a trio of men clad in green chainmail and a symbol of a wolf’s maw imprinted upon their cloaks and shields.

“Hail travelers!” One man said, his long brown hair dancing about his shoulders.

“Rather dangerous place to be sleeping is it not? At the mouth of an Ogre’s cave and all?” said another, a man with short red hair spiked with some sticky substance.

“You there” Said the third, a blonde haired man with a patch over one of his eyes, a long scar running from his forhead across the eye and down his right chin; directed at Elesia who sat in quiet contemplation at the cave mouth’s entrance. Bart rubbed his eyes at the disturbance, laying next to the fire where he had nodded off waiting for the other’s return.

“Looks like a lot of gear.and horses for just the pair of you. Where are your companions?”

Bart was still stammering trying to make sense of the situation, but Elesia rose to a stand under the careful scrutiny of the riders. “Brushing off her dress she took a step forward and smiled. “We are just here on a mission of good faith. Our companions are down below regrouping, that we may rest together for the evening.”

The blonde haired man looked over Elesia with a nod that turned from inquisitional to something far less courteous.

“Excellent, let’s hope they don’t see fit to return for some time shall we? There is much… fun to be had.”
And with a hand gesture he motioned his two other riders to search the area for any others who might be around. The other riders grunted their disapproval at having to leave and possibly miss the action, but moved along none-the-less.

Elesia kept amazingly calm as the rider dismounted, his visage changing from mysterious to oppressive Bart stood up realizing the mans intent in his eyes. “Now hold on a minute”

“Shut up, and run along into the cave little man.” The blonde stranger said as he leveled a wicked looking longsword in his direction. The blade was matted black with jagged edges and a crimson blood groove along the blade.

“Now then lass, what’s it gonna be?”

Elesia, merely took another step forward, letting her dress fall from her shoulders to rest souly upon her ample bosom, the see-through material of her white dress leaving little to the imagination as the mans smile widened and he gave a nod of approval.

Elesia returned with a smirk of her own. "Be gentle now, wouldn't want to break me" Elesia let the last sultry line linger dripping with her charismatic charms.

Linnix is as of yet unnoticed though one of the horsemen is within 30’ of her searching the area, the tree cover and predominant darkness are aiding in her current stealth.

Nash and Aelistae awoke to the hooves, Nash instinctively placing his hand over his lover’s mouth out of habit more than necessity, as Aelistae was silent as the dead of night, listening to the new arrivals and their nefarious leader’s intentions.

Nash lowered his hand and slinked away into the trees, where his armor lay. He didn’t move for the armor itself, only his pants and sword, which sparkled the moment he laid hands upon it. With a thought he quelled the inherent glow, and motioned for Aelistae to keep quiet and still. With that he moved slowly into the treeline, circling slowly towards the riders.

Subject: I have some


If Jagna's already been to the mountain can she answer the following:

Patrols, Guards, likely encounters, traps and the like.

Skarra, Thalgrims and the other leaders races? strenths weaknesses? whatever she can tell us to give us an advatage.


If we manage an upper hand in battle, will she help aid in the fall of Thalgrim, and the others, the Stonespeakers perhaps to rid the land of their call... or perhaps at least take her tribe and go far from here to where they will be safe (and we won't see them again)

My opinion: Warn the Dwarves in length of all we've learned (can be done through you and here in downtime)

Follow the Orc's directions towards Thalgrim's suspected area and scout around / enage thalgrim or something

Return to Dwarves and settle in for the seige.
