Abomination Vaults 5e
Advanced 5th Edition Adventure Path
Enter the megadungeon! Evil stirs in the depths of the Abomination Vaults, a sprawling dungeon where the evil sorcerer Belcorra Haruvex attempted to raise an army of monsters hundreds of years ago. Brave heroes must venture into a dungeon full of beasts and traps to prevent a spiteful villain from rising again.
Rules System: Advanced 5th Edition Level Up
Theme: Megadungeon
Starting Level: 1stThe Abomination Vaults Adventure Path begins near the small town of Otari on the southern shore of the Isle of Kortos. A robust and spoiler-free description of the town can be found in the player’s guide. While this gazetteer does mention things that aren’t frequently discussed in polite company (such as the rough crew that hangs out at the Crook’s Nook), the contents of this gazetteer are considered common knowledge among Otari’s citizens. It’s possible for some (or even all) of the heroes to hail from Otari, but that isn’t necessary. Although most of the campaign’s action takes place in the dungeon about a half hour to the north in the swampy Fogfen, the heroes will return to Otari many times and should come to rely on its people.
The heroes might or might not know each other, but all of them should have a friend in common: the town’s eccentric oddities merchant, Wrin Sivinxi. Wrin’s mixture of tiefling and elven ancestry is impossible to miss: her eyes are devoid of pupils, small ram horns curl around her elven ears, and her fingertips sparkle with motes of glittering light. Wrin is more than a collector of unusual items and occult lore; she’s a scholar of the stars who possesses curious foresight about strange events (perhaps this foresight drove her to build a friendship with the heroes in the first place).
In any case, once Wrin collects the heroes to tell them of a strange light, she has seen around Gauntlight, the mysterious inland lighthouse deep in the Fogfen, the campaign can begin!
The posting rate for this game will be an average of two to three times per week. Some days there will be more posts than others, but this campaign will be run at a leisurely pace. If you do not post once within 48 hours during combat, actions will be taken for you. I reserve the right to eject from the campaign anyone who has not posted in a week without prior warning of absence.
I expect players to engross themselves in the roleplaying element and contribute interestingly to the story and for this campaign I also favor longer posts with detail and emphasis on the growth of the characters over just posting to meet the requirement.
I also travel occasionally, but this rarely affects my posting. I will be selecting a total of five players. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Character Submissions: You will also need to start a thread in the application thread for your submission.
If you have any questions about my rules for character building, setting, or any thoughts about character backgrounds, or to request that I review your character then you can do so by using the links below.
Generating Ability Scores: The first post in your character thread should contain your ability score generation and nothing else. You should state if you are taking the static array, using the point buy method, or rolling for your stats. If you decide to roll for your stats, then you may roll four 6-sided dice and sum up the three highest rolls. Repeat this process six times to generate your stats. If you are new to Myth-Weavers a guide to how to use the dice roller is available.Dice Tower - Articles - Myth-Weavers
Allocate these rolled numbers or picked numbers if doing point buy or static array, to your desired ability scores by noting them accordingly in the first post. If you chose the roll method, you must take the stats that the dice gods have given you, good or bad, that is the hand in life that you have been dealt. Some of the best heroes come from a tough beginning and overcoming adversity.
Character Thread Template: You are welcome to use the following template. It is designed to include all pertinent details about your character for quick reference by both the Narrator and yourself as the player. By keeping this post current in your character thread, you eliminate the need for a separate Myth-Weavers character sheet. Ensure that your posting template provides a link to your character thread for convenient reference. The character template should be the second post in your application.
Character Posting Template: The third post in your application should be your posting template. I have created one that you can feel free to copy and use if you like. (See Character Thread Template link above.)

GM Info: Hello! I'm Billy Watford. I've been a GM (DM, Storyteller, etc.) for about 35 or 37 years, and I've been gaming even longer. Over the years, I've conducted what seems like hundreds of adventures through Paizo, WotC, TSR, and I currently have many games ongoing on Myth-Weavers, some of which have lasted for years.
My GMing style leans more towards crafting a compelling story rather than maximizing the exploitation of rules. I appreciate characters that are interesting from the start, but I'm particularly fond of characters that evolve throughout the game. Avoid presenting me with one-dimensional characters that repeatedly exploit a single annoying trait, and in return, I'll refrain from introducing a tarrasque into the scenario. Agreed? Agreed.
What kind of player am I NOT looking for?
Power Gamers (not sorry) and rules lawyers (really not sorry). Having gamemastered for many years, I am still new to this specific system. Therefore, I am not looking for players who are solely interested in exploiting new rules or merely min/maxing their characters. From what I understand, this is much more challenging in Advanced 5th Edition Level Up. Should your character meet an untimely end in the dungeon, please be gracious, and we will get you situated with a new one as promptly as we can.What kind of players AM I looking for?
Ah, this is promising. I'm not in search of mere players; I seek a cast of characters. I desire individuals dedicated to advancing a compelling plot—those who hinder the story's flow are my pet peeve. I yearn to witness your character's evolution. I envision the transformation of a self-centered street urchin into a daring hero, a disinterested bureaucrat into the fierce embodiment of divine retribution. LET'S DO THIS. Enter the Abomination Vaults, where your saga unfolds.I'm also in search of individuals who can adhere to the basic rules of grammar. That said, I can be quite forgiving of errors. However, for the love of God, in a system where edits are possible minutes, days, or weeks later... please take some pride.
I look forward to your applications and good luck!
PLEASE READ THE PLAYERS GUIDE ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND THEN RE-READ IT PRIOR TO STARTING THE APPLICATION PROCESS!! IT WILL HELP YOU TREMENDOUSLY!!!

The World of Elissar
THE WORLD OF ELISSAR
YOUR GRAND ADVENTURE AWAITS!
All is not well in Hengistbury. Children have been disappearing into the Weirwood; howls of an unearthly nature have been echoing across the Fogmoor; and Three-Fingered Jake has been spreading rumors of treasure and hauntings in the ruins of Brockendale Castle. All this aside, however, tonight is a warm, balmy evening. Many of the villagers are gathered in and outside the Bleeding Heart Tavern, and troubles seem far away.Well, except for that dragon in Skull Mountain...
Welcome to the World of Elissar; where we are about to embark on a journey of epic storytelling. As we tell the tale of how a handful of brave souls saved the kingdom. Our grand tale will be told in four memorable acts!
ACT ONE
The opening act will take our characters from levels 1-3, gently introducing the players to some of the new Advanced 5th Edition rules changes as we go. This act is geared toward introducing experienced players of D&D 5th Edition to the changes presented in Advanced 5th Edition Level Up.ACT TWO
But the journey is not so simple. To get there and succeed the party must win the hearts and minds of townsfolk, best fey of all sorts, overcome the trickery of fiends, fight corruption in ancient forests, travel the tunnels of Underland, and much more as they equip themselves with powerful artifacts for the battle of a lifetime!ACT THREE
Can they find the source of primordial wickedness before it engineers an even darker age to enshroud the world? What lies ahead includes spooky sandbox settlements, several dungeon crawls, and a dangerous finale filled with intrigue.ACT FOUR
This peace is soon to be shattered however as the local dabbler of the arcane takes his studies too far, undertaking rituals that will endanger not just Holdenshire or Endora, but Elissar itself!CHARACTER CREATION Character Creation & Play Guidelines: This document has everything you need to participate in one of my games.

Allocate these rolled numbers to your desired ability scores by noting them accordingly in the first post. Should the sum of your rolled stats be below 72, you have the option to exchange them for a standard set of scores: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8. If you use the standard array instead of your rolls please note that in the first post as well.
