 |
Points of Madness
Years have passed since the Great Breach, and now madness continues spread to the land. Fell monstricities threatened cities all over, thus creating a time of fear and paranoia. Champions from different locations hae set out to stop and kill the source, yet as time grows only more of this monsters sprout from out of nowhere. Within the chaos, a handful of adventurers have learned the real force behind the breaches, and the ineviable doom that circles the land.

@Eris: I recall that character was above paragon level. Make sure that you level it accordingly. Alternatively, we could assist you creating a character on Saturday. That's why it's called Character Creation Session 
@akoposivince: No qualms against Kalashtar.
@driza: You could discuss/convince that with them on Saturday.
Everyone, be reminded I will be using the continuum used on my campaign, which I recall was used on the Monday Game DM training sessions. Those who participated with it, please do notify me what were the major changes in the scenario.
I think joljeresjarass is planning to use Steneb, his character from the previous campaign. Reminder:
- You could recreate you cleric. Just make sure that you're race and class is retained. Everything else can be changed, except for the Dragonforce Artifact you have. (it will count as a magic item for the creation rules, so you can only choose two more magic items. If its level is too low, we'll discuss it on Saturday. or PM me the details)
- You're character background doesn't change and will still continue from the last time. You can add some things, so long you justify the change.
As for others, please do note what you have in mind, so that everyone will know what to expect.

|
After juaberman's reboot, the story so far...
It was clear that the aberration in the land is spreading and after what transpired in “the city that never sleep” [I forgot the name…], Garcher [powerful guy with a stump as a hand…] enlisted the aid of the lot to go to the Underdark and bring to a halt the aberrant attacks. He also recruited some of the members of the party [namely BoyCharops, Ace, Justice, and Basia] to the league of <something> and each of them was given a mark of <something> [I don’t know much of the details coz I wasn’t there at the time… Other players, please elaborate…]
Once there, they met <Gideon>, also a member of the league, after a test eventually pointed the way to their keep in the Underdark. After that, the party finds that Garcher is already at the keep and they were attacked by a couple of corrupted Ettins [who uses darkfire]. After the battle, Garcher reveals that he had long suspected that the aberration is the doing of the followers of the goddess of the drows, Lolth. The next day, one of Garchers’ scouts reported that they have pinpointed the source of the aberration and that they have spotted the mastermind orchestrating the attacks. They were informed that the “mastermind” is about to leave the said location soon and the party hastily goes there.
Only to discover that a trap had been waiting for them: Esclavdra, a drow servant of Lolth, appears before them and flees then after; five dark crystals standing before them which they found to be the source of the aberration; and they battle distorted mirror images of themselves. After the party defeats them, the crystals shatter and the dark energies emitted by them disappears. They find that the spreading of the aberration had ceased and they were celebrated as heroes in the Underdark but their valor will never be known in the plane above. The party decides to go on their separate ways…
Just a recap of the story I finished. I don’t know which of these will be useful. And by the way, I am also planning to run a continuation of this story during the summer classes using the same set of characters. Haven’t planned much yet but I was thinking we could have two different stories in the same setting. Just a thought if there will be interested players. Hope this helps… |

Thanks for the synopsis. I do wanna hear from the previous stories, but I think I can sort of understand what's transpiring on your adventures.
BTW, are you planning to run that monday game as the sole DM? I do plan to have the adventure to your current timeline, so I hope we could cook something up that would affect both game story

We could discuss that on Saturday, though I find it hard to connect Lolth with abberations  ..

|
Since the character creation would be done on Saturday...
Do we already need the character pre-made for saturday?
Do I need to bring a copy of my powers/feats already?
Or will we be making our character on the day itself?

Preferably you guys should have the character pre-made, including copies of your sources. But if you're still undecided regarding some aspects the party and DM is there to help.
The point of Char Creation Session is not just the character sheet info, but character role play aspect as well. You tell me what you're character is, aside from what is written on your character sheet.

|
| Well, followers of Lolth are usually from the Shadowfell, right?[ drows and shadow creatures]... I was thinking that they came to the Underdark and turned some of the aberrants to their side... in a greater scheme to invade the generiland... That's just my idea... I guess it'd be better to discuss it tomorrow... |

Boss Erwin, I'm really sorry.
I cannot continue with the Saturday game because my parents complain to me that I go UP at saturday without really doing anything. They'd rather have me at home or at bulacan. I am really really sorry.

@akoposivince: It's understandable. No problem dude, glad you gave me a head's up.
Points of Madness: Venture to the North...
Summer Saturday Game
Time: 10 am, Saturday. April 9, 2011
Place: Same as always, or 2nd floor AS Hill
The Story So Far:
After learning the secret behind the unusual breaches all over from The Betrayer, adventurers set forth to the North to find U'maaro, The Betrayer's 'friend'. They also stumble upon a stone reeking of fell magic. They have discovered its function, yet they have yet to uncover its true purpose. They seem to be forgetting about the tribe supposedly guarding the area around it.
-----
@driza: do you still plan on joining? Make sure it's not that RP you told me last time.
@everyone, if you have any non-encounter/RP-related questions/tasks in mind, feel free to discuss it here, so that it won't burn time on our sessions.
Also, JFSQZ/Philst, what was you're target Paragon Path again? I forgot to write it down

erm, for a more solid character background..
The Githzerai is a race few in numbers... So, my brother was suppose to be the next chief of the tribe/group. But, something happened that Elzhea doesn't know. He up and left which left her to lead. Unfortunately, an elder persuaded the people that she's not fit to lead their race. So, he took over and has been sending our warriors to difficult missions for the tribe, which often results in their death or capture.
Wanting to stop this, Elzhea trained to be a ranger for tracking, whilst surviving, her search for her brother to bring a better life for her tribe/group. Should she not be able to bring her brother back after finding him, the adventures on her journey will make her strong enough to lead her people.
Hopefully, with the help of her party or at least some of it, when the time comes, they'll evict the elder and gain their tribe's freedom once again.
So, that's why Elzhea is on her journey. Finding her brother which is said to be a part of she-who-i-forgot's group. hahaha!
See you guys on Sataurday.

Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2011 1:15 pm Post subject: Splinctra's backstory |
|
Just elaborated on my character’s backstory [‘Coz I just made up the one I told last session that very day] …
Splinctra Doomsinger, Tiefling Cunning Bard
Background: Last of the Line -> +2 Diplomacy
Splinctra is the only daughter and sole living descendant of one of the noble houses of Bael Turath, still unknown to anyone else which house she belongs. [She changed her last name so no one can ever find out]. There were rumors that her whole family was slain by a demon they themselves summoned from the fiery depths. But some rumors said that Splinctra herself wiped out her own kin in a spur of temporary insanity. But no one really knows for sure.
Splinctra has a very alluring body and she wears a bawdy laced bodice. She travels alone and she uses her charms to con unsuspecting victims of their money, though this is not her true goal. Her true goal is to learn the ways of manipulating minds to her own will, twisting them to only follow her commands. Though she seems flirtatious by nature, it is just cover in a ploy to dominate her victims’ minds when they are vulnerable.
When she needs to, Splinctra invokes her hellfire using her longsword to conjure flames that debilitate her enemies in many ways: disorient them in a mocking/tempting inferno; dominate them with hypnotic flames; kindle her ‘allies’ with a rejuvenating surge to crush her enemies. She is on a quest to improve her abilities of manipulation by unlocking the secrets of magical sword mastery and wizardry and adding them to her arsenal.
Also I just wanna ask if I could make a new thread for the “Monday Game”… Thank you… |

@Eris: Here's how I'll set it up for your PP:
To pursue her brother, Elzhea sought the land of Shinaelestran, the City of Rangers, where she could hire someone to track her brother. But they are feeling wary of her, being an outsider of this world. So she instead chose to learn their ways and find her brother herself. Some have teach her the basics, but only through herr natural talent that she was able to bypass some of the accomplished rangers and hunters of Shinaelestran. For her to completely gain their trust, and to complete herr training as well, she was given a final test, which was your original task, to find her brother. Shinaelestran will recognize her as a skilled ranger and as a kin if she manages to complete this.
The Runaway Brother
Minor Quest - Lvl 10
*Elzhea must find her brother in order for Shinaelestran to recognize her talents. This will also allow her to take and gain benefits of the Shinaelestran Guardian Paragon Path.
Note: Elzhea learned that her brother is somehow related to Dread Whisperers, a secret cult driven to give rise to a sleeping power. They seem to be looking for the rumored DragonForce shards.
----
@Shizo_Corpus123: You could make a different thread for the Monday Game, I just named it such since it is set on Mondays. Perhaps giving it another name or add an adjective to make it distinct.
As for your character:
When Splinctra was tinkering the runic stone she had after killing The Betrayer (the Foe Stone magic item), she realized something; runes inscribed to it are unfinished. It seems that there is more pieces to discover, or perhaps the pieces are all gone and this is the only one left. Whatever the case maybe, it does seem to relate to fell magic she seek, ones that debilitates the mind, making them more susceptible to her charms and tricks. This is also magic that some wizards and mages seem to tap as well. Runes inscribe tell something about "reveal opening".
Research the Deep
Minor Quest - Lvl 10
*Learn more of the runes inscribe on the stone, and find more pieces of it that exists. Perhaps an expert regarding fell magic might give Splinctra a better understanding.
----
@JFSQZ: Reminder, seems that one of your feats requires you to worship Sehanine. If you do not show any form of worship for you goddess, mechanically or RP-wise, I will have you remove that feat.
As for your character:
Ace have searched far and wide, looking for his tribes' perpetrators. As he venture, he stumbled upon an idea; why was he the only one left alive when they're tribe was wiped out? Is it because he is not of elven blood? He was there when they attacked, but they simply brushed him aside as they killed his fellow tribemen. As he woke up, all his 'kin' were already gone and no dead body was left, only spoils of the slaughter. Why didn't they bring his body as well? Why did they left him after that? Perhaps there is more to it than he thinks...
Vengeance of the Orphan
Minor Quest - Lvl 10
*Ace must find the drow tribe who vanquished his 'kin'. He remember one of them having a mark crawling over his body whilst the eyes turns bloody red. It is his only clue to finding them.

...
Before going to the north, they took Uktalmon's request to cleanse the heart of the forest. Now, the Shadow Eye has vanished, and an obstacle to the north has been cleared. After gaining a key to a portal, they chose to walk their way to the northern lands. It seemed that they felt that going to the parallel worlds is perilous, yet they don't know that wherever they go it will always be perilous, so long as they hold the Dragonforce shards...

Points of Madness: Peril on Each Footstep
Saturday Game
Time: 10am, April 16, 2011
Place: UP HGC Tambayan or AS 2nd Floor or Library Steps
Note to those who worship gods/goddesses, make sure that you show or at least hint how so are you worshipping your god, else I'll put a penalty for it, especially if you have powers/feats/ability tied to it. There's a big difference between believing a god and worshipping one.
Contact me ASAP if you'll be late or you'll have to be away, especially those without contact numbers (joljeressjarass and JFSQZ)

Due to work schedule and other circumstances, I'll have to postpone the game this Saturday. Our next game would be on May 14 (Saturday). Please post here if you have problem on that schedule, so we could work it out.

May I formally request that you move the date of the next DnD game preferably earlier than May 14. I will be unable to join the game on that day due to certain circumstances. I am available during weekdays from 9am to 3pm. If it is not possible to reschedule the game, then I wish you guys have fun.
Sincerely yours,
Taguro

I'll take it in consideration.
@Everyone else: Are you all good with May 14?
Alternatively, we could game on May 12 (Thursday), though we would start earlier to compensate for lost time.
For now only driza can't go for May 14. Eris says she can but not sure. If she declares she can't, or another one does say so, we'll have to move it on a different date, preferably May 12. If not everyone is available on alternate date, we'll postpone it to May 21, which is quite saddening.
