Topic: Gauging Interest for a Party of Avengers
Subject: Now Only 4 Openings


There are now only 4 openings as Raven has claimed the Ranger/Druid.

We definitely need a Dwarf Cleric/Fighter


Dwarf Cleric/Fighter

Gnome Rogue/Assassin

***Wood (Gray) Elf Druid/Ranger*** played by Raven

Half Elf Knight/Illusionist

Half Orc Barbarian/Monk

If anyone has a different multi-class character concept just PM me and I will consider your choice in place of mine!

Note from the Castle Keeper
Looks like it may take longer than this weekend for me to complete the Intro to this adventure due to the time it took to write the previous posts in the Recruitment Thread and a whole lot more substance needs to be included in the writing of the opening post (plus some Real Life matters that need attending to on Saturday and Sunday!)

Subject: Other Info Possibly Needed for Character Backgrounds


The above mentioned Dragons are the only known Dragons that have been seen and reported by various adventurers who have found their way to The Twisted Blade.

Rextugenous is both a Curiosity and an Oddity as no one has ventured any further north up the river than an imaginary line between the city of Chinon and Castle Eike in the Gnob Wood ... and none other than Rextugenous and the Undead Leather Coats have ever ventured south from far north upriver to the waterfront city of Sherrill.

So the ballads of the Bard are a drawing card for the patrons of The Twisted Blade and provide Rex with plenty of coin to provide his lodging at The Twisted Blade.

There are plenty of Orcs, Goblins and bandits and other such vermin to draw from in your back stories ... but no other Dragons are known to the inhabitants from where your character has journeyed thus far!

This should give Players enough information to develop a suitable background and I will Email a Map to everyone who joins this adventure to help give you a visual of the possibilities from whence to draw your writing inspiration!

Topic: Gauging Interest for a Party of Avengers
Subject: Tagean Wyrm (Leaf Tailed Dragon)


Leaf Tailed Dragons are water dragons that frequently migrate to the Bay of Imboden as they seek nesting grounds on land from their journeys in The Amber Sea.

They are highly revered and worshipped on the islands of the Tagea Sea to the East of the Gelderland.

They have been known to frequently migrate and come on land in the Gnob Wood to hunt and to nest and secrete themselves with a thick residue to coat their scaly hides that hardens and becomes an unbreakable shell.

Some forest folk seek out these hardened secretions that are left on tree limbs that are harvested, shaped and honed to make battle spears.

These dragons can speak limited Common and live peaceably with Humans and Elves unless provoked.

They will offer assistance for Food if they trust those who seek them out and they breathe a cloud of thick gaseous material that obscures any but magical vision so they can escape unseen.

Their magic can Heat Metal or help them to cast Water Breathing on themselves.

Length ranges from up to 30 feet including its tail (always half its body length and shaped like a broad leaf).

When forced to fight (or when hunting) the Leaf Tailed Dragon will rend with its claws and teeth and secretes an acid while they hold their prey down with their hind legs.

They are light blue or green in color and have short thick necks. There is a single scale on their underbelly that can be as large as 3 feet in diameter and the scale is sought by forest folk to serve as a small lightweight and indestructible shield.

Alignment is Neutral Good

Subject: Lial Beast (Feathered Dragon)


Feathered Dragons are rare and are not uncommon in the Gelderland and Gnob Wood where they have been driven from their formerly preferred open country by hunters who prize their scales.

A single scale can bring up to 15 Gold Coins on the open market and can be fashioned into crafting armor or weapons.

They are beautiful creatures of multi colors with no apparent pattern to their markings and do not blend into their surroundings ... making their numbers rare.

Feathered Dragons have some Illusionist abilities and do fly out of the forests to steal cattle and sometimes humanoids for food.

Wing span is 30 feet and have scales on the snout and neck that are long and pointed like spears.

Their bodies are squat and short and they walk on 2 or 4 legs (front legs noticeably shorter) and they can rend flesh with their claws and teeth.

They will breathe a cloud of clear gas that becomes a liquid leaving a red stain that begins to burn through skin and armor.

The only way to neutralize the poison is with a Neutralize or Delay Poison Spell or by jumping into a creek, river, pond or well ... but merely washing the poison from a water flask will not remove the poison.

Alignment is Chaotic

Subject: Nakal Dragon


Found in the Darkenfold and Eld Wood Forests.

Rather small up to 12 feet in length standing more like a bird than a lizard. Small arms and thick legs with enormous feet with claws and they have a ridge of spines and a long narrow tail with a bulb on the end of the tail with barbs.

Wide snouts with a beak that tears flesh and armor with its sharp teeth. The barbs on the tail are poisonous.

They are territorial within 15 square miles and mark their territory by dragging their sides against large trees ... but Nakal Dragons do migrate for better hunting or when males seek a female mate.

They cast a Fly Spell on themselves and can fly from 100 to 120 feet at a time.

Nakal are hunted for sport and for the toxins that can be sold on the open market.

Alignment is Neutral.

Subject: A Bit of Free Form


Although this adventure is Rules Based there is the element of Free Form when it comes to creating your character.

Unklar The Horned One
The main thing to know is that The Horned One or the Lord of the Winter Dark named Unklar, ruled Aihrde for a thousand years and then was sent to the Void. Now, his worshipers spend their time trying to summon him back to rule again.

His Evil Minions and Influence had spread throughout Aihrde and the region where your Player Character originates from had felt the harsh bite of the frozen bitter cold that gripped much of the land to the far north across The Inner Sea and to the Far East where Unklar ruled in Aufstrag

The Taint of that Evil Reign brought bitter snows and evil creatures that did the bidding of The Horned One ... but the last traces of such snows and dangers disappeared over 200 years ago ... well before your character was born.

You have the poetic license to create a background story for your character with the above in mind.

You can create the descriptions of where you are from and the cities and royal history there if you so choose.

Beaked Dragons
There are reports of Beaked Dragons spreading from the Great Soup Marsh in a sinister migration into the Eld Wood Forest and into The Great Lothian Plains.

Beaked Dragons are more turtle than lizard and can swim. They are heavily scaled, grow up to 30 feet long and not only bite a victim but puke up their stomach acid to further immobilize their prey.

They have webbed claws and do have the magical ability to transmute rock into mud to hide themselves and dig dens to lay in wait for unsuspecting prey.

Their eggs are considered a delicacy ... especially to dwarfs ... and will bring as much as 10 Gold Coins on the open market.

Alignment is Neutral

..... working up the opening scenario that sets the stage for the addition of new players so hopefully I will have it done and posted over the weekend.

The beginning of the Intro to this adventure is in the Recruitment Thread and there is much more to be added to bring some clarity as to what you will be facing

Topic: Gauging Interest for a Party of Avengers
Subject: Attribute Modifiers


Each Player will utilize the numbers 9,11,13,15,17 and 19 to create their characters.

Primary Attributes do not necessarily need the highest numbers assigned to them as the Prime Attributes need only a dice roll of 12 for a successful roll as opposed to an 18 for Secondary Attributes (plus the Challenge Level for a particular scenario is added to the 12 or 18 to set the bar for the necessary successful roll)

Attribute Modifiers are either added or subtracted depending upon the numbers assigned to Attributes (and modified by Racial Traits)

Attribute Modifiers for this particular adventure
2-3 -4
4-5 -3
6-7 -2
8-9 -1
10-11 0
12-13 +1
14-15 +2
16-17 +3
18-19 +4

For Example
Rextugenous has a Strength of 9 which is a -1 as an attribute modifier so a roll would subtract -1 from the dice total to determine a successful roll.

Secondary Strength Attribute would be an 18 plus if the scenario has a challenge level of 3 it would be a 21 roll that would be needed for a successful roll.

But with the -1 Attribute Modifier it would take a roll of 22 to be successful (Castle Keeper rolls the dice in all situations by the way) as 22-1=21

Were the 9 to be a Primary Attribute number then it would be 12 (Primary) plus the 3 Challenge level = 15 and the successful roll would require a 16-1=15.

Hope that helps in considering your character creation

Subject: Answer to Ayrn


I posted the 5 multi class characters since things were going slowly in responses to see if anyone was interested.

If someone has another multi class they want to create I am open to considering their request.


As it stands right now the 2 classes will both be level 5 so if someone just wanted to create a single class character then I would consider it ... but I do know there are players here at the Inn who enjoy playing multi class characters ... so I thought I would accommodate them this time
