Posting interest with putting down the following sheet The sheet is still a general work in progress as it is a repost from another Lost City 5e game that she failed to get into. I'll most likely default to Pointbuy/Standard Array when it comes to stat generation, although I wouldn't mind borrowing Guitarist's rolled set My main question is how strict are you going to be on a person being prepared magically wise to survive the initial conditions of the lost city game? Reason I ask is because D&D5e has a few lv1 spells that can defeat a survival game with just a simple cast of that spell. The spells in particular are Goodberry and Create and Destroy Water, Both of which my character can (and will if allowed) to get in one way or another.

The male guard gave a nod as the money passed to him "right... " ~~~ The group would head in the direction that the guard pointed to and soon they would find themselves in front of the Skewered Dragon. The Skewered Dragon looks like a ruin. Both of its front-facing windows are smashed, and a ship's anchor is lodged in the roof. Through the windows, you can see a group of haggard patrons drinking from huge tankards. They appear to not want to be bothered ~~~ Patrons are unwilling to talk to the group, you will need either A DC13 Charisma Check of either intimidate or persuasion or a bribe for them to even consider starting to loosen their lips

and it took me to the following friday... but both mission topics are up. Post in them at your convenience but remember once you post in there, Magic Items and spell research become inaccessible until the mission your characters are on is complete. Good Luck players

In a dimly lit underwater region near a large cave like lair topped by a seashell like tower, a portal with a storming surge opened and an octopus woman, and three other humans, one muscular and gray skinned tone the other two more lanky launched out of it like torpedoes. A roar was heard from the muscular guy as magic surged around him transforming him from a human into a full great white shark. When the transformation finished, he snarled and snapped as if he was biting something in half. “Ahh…” Glut growled his voice mysteriously being carried in water the same way as if it would on land “back to my best self, man it feels good to be home.” Two more surges occurred as the lanky pair transformed into a pair of twin eels, the only way to tell them apart was one had his right eye glowing yellow while the other had his left eye glowing yellow. “Yes, feels very good.” Flotsam and Jetsam purred “Mistress, do we wait here or do we enter the dungeon.” The octopus woman lightly laughed “enter my pets, and take no prisoners, I now have to get over to Morva to make sure the Shadowman gets informed about the heroes on their way over there. I’m sure you all can handle who comes here? yes?” Glut grunted “they won’t win mistress; we will make sure they won’t. Come on eels.” He commanded. All three went into the lair then a magical barrier surged with a sundial glyph around the entrance to seal it up. A few moments later, Merida, Moana, Mulan and Kronk all shot out of the portal. The Seawitch smiled at the guests “Good luck heroes.” She then laughed and vanished into a stormy ink cloud that cleared out soon after. In front of the group the entrance covered by a magical barrier and a sundial glyph loomed, the challenge waits for the heroes to enter.

Mickey, Aurora, Eilonwy and Rapunzel find themselves teleporting into a slightly elevated plant covered cliffside overlooking a marshy coastal area in a foggy low light area. In the distance out on the sea, they see a large ship that looks like it's one made for royalty out far enough so that the tides do not cause it problems but far away enough that it would require a boat to get out to it or a boat to get from it to the coast. However, a look towards the marsh like coastline shows that indeed someone or I should say several have already done that. Several rowboats have made land and whoever was on them had created a coastal camp with several tents on planks of wood including a few fancy looking ones. The camp had been used most likely for a few nights as there was a clear pile of rubbish and food waste plus several fire pits made for fires. There also appears to be several who look like pirates in the area. However, you do see what appears to be someone tied to a stake. Beyond the camp there appears to be a recent cut path leading into some dense foliage and if one was to look up and inland, they would see what appears to be a large castle like fortress up beyond the dense foliage, However the pirate camp appears to be between the new cut pathway and the group. However there does appear to be a less treaded path behind you all going into the foliage as well.

Jin Lin Thi - Half Elf Bard/Sorcerer Divine Soul 3 | | AC 14 | HP 19/19 | Spell Slots: 4/2 | Passive Perception: 13 | Passive Investigation: 13 | Passive Insight: 13 | Condition/Mood: Now Entering Blue... Alley... *sees mural* hey... who the wise guy with the art supplies huh... With Jin in front, The group entered into the Blue Alley and proceeded to make it to the decision point. However Jin would notice that the wall mural showed everyone in the group being butchered by traps. Jin just frowned at the art. "get me with traps huh..." He grumbled then looked around, "I like to see them try,

whoo hot stuff, looking forward to meeting you and whatever baddy on your tail.

In response to Aurora Archimedes hummed as Aurora learned Identify "Identify, interesting choice, but a good spell to have on hand just in case you might come across something magical but you better ask Merlin for a pearl before you leave, it's required for the spell" (technically you could have used your Wisdom spellcasting mod to get a better bonus but you still passed the roll anyhow) In response to Fa Mulan Archimedes puffed out when the Bless spell failed to be learned "oh Don't feel too bad, it takes some strong faith in the powers that be to be able to get that spell." He snickered "you should see some of the messes that occur when Merlin has to bargain with them."

Your Arcana sense doesn't pick up anything magically influencing Emma Your insight sense comes up that the girl is expressing true emotion when it comes to Ace and is sincere. It comes to you that maybe what Deuce just said about Emma being Ace's wife is a true statement despite knowledge of your own concerning Ace's history before NRC in Twisted Wonderland. Hmm... very curious

Riddle turned smug at Grim's retort then gave a light nod at Yuu "all part of being a leader of anything I would say." After hearing what was going on in Twisted Wonderland, Riddle and his group all got thoughtful looks. Deuce spoke first "so this phantom blot guy attacked Night Raven college using the stuff you call blot which is that inky stuff Legion and Blight are made out of, only to be beaten by the headmage and chased off." He summarized. Cater made a noise "yeah then he went after five students of Heartslabyul Dorm and put them into comas sending their spirits, hearts or minds to here starting with the one who resonances the most with the spirit of the Queen of hearts. Riddle blinked "the spirit of my mother... how would she be a spirit." Cater made a noise "in that world I think she is or was a grand ruler of their past if I remember correctly. One of the Great Seven if I remember my dream right" "So she's idolized there." Riddle hummed "Interesting, I wonder how people would treat her direct heir." Trey hummed "most likely with the same respect as the troops here do to you, my liege." Riddle hummed "so who would this person be that resonates with her spirit, a descendant far down the line perhaps." Cater hummed "maybe... my liege... anyhow Yuu managed to find her way here using Prospero and..." He blinked "Ace?" Deuce recoiled "Ace?!" Trey looked at Yuu "You've seen Ace?" "yeah, she's seen me... what's left of me I guess." Ace spoke up A grunt would be heard as Face mask Ace shifted himself out of where Yuu had hid him then almost went face first to the ground but then magic surged and he started hovering "ugh..." he grunted "man it sucks not having a body." He recovered and shook his face back and forth as if it was on an invisible head. Trey recoiled with repulsion. Ace sighed then looked at the Riddle group with a grin "sup all been a while huh?" Riddle stared at Ace "Ace... Trappola..." "the one and only." Ace chirped "now with 90 percent less body." He chuckled "don't ask how it's happening but it is." Cater made a noise "#unreal..." He commented "I've heard rumors that removed heads started becoming alive but... never..." Deuce stared “Ace… what happened to you.” Ace hummed “honestly I have very little idea. I’ve been trying to piece together all the events that led up to me being beaten out of a blot monster and restored somewhat by Yuu however it’s only flashes.” He frowned “however when Quiverwing brought up Blackjack, a memory surfaced, something critical.” He hummed “Yuu, Blackjack is not a normal guy even for this world, he’s got a weird power, some sort of hypnosis or suggestive mind control just like Jamil Viper from Scarabia. I remember him using it on me” He gave a glance at Trey “most likely why Trey is so afraid of him.” Trey blinked Riddle hummed “Trey… is what Ace and Miss Quiverwing saying true, is Blackjack threatening you to make you obey him even if it goes against me.” Trey exhaled “yes… yes it is my liege… Blackjack will most likely expect me to tell him everything that goes on in this private meeting and he’ll force it out of me by his stare if he gets me alone.” He shuttered “he also threatens my family and such saying that if I resist that he’ll make them do things that breaks rules and of course I’m not to mention this to anyone but…” He grunted “with everything that’s happened I can’t stay silent any longer.” Riddle frowned “does he do this to other people.” Trey hummed as he nodded “yes… he does this to keep everyone in order.” Cater made a noise “yeah there’s a whisper among everyone that you do not piss off Blackjack otherwise you get your body hi-jacked and your mind, well mind-jacked.” Riddle frowned deepened “it is one thing to punish someone for breaking the rules, it’s another to make someone break the rules against their will. After this I will speak to my father about this and make sure Blackjack stands trial. I’m sure there’s a rule against using mind control on someone somewhere.” Deuce grunted “My liege, maybe we should wait, it will be our word against his and he might do something bad if we confront him now.” Ace made a noise “yeah good thinking Deuce, we got to wait until he can’t do anything against us or someone we know.” Cater hummed “I wouldn’t be surprised if someone been ‘mind-jacked’ to do his bidding tonight.” A loud door creak was heard followed by a light feminine gasp. Riddle grunted as he turned to the door “who’s there. Come in…” A moment passed then the door slowly opened and a shy acting servant girl entered, a heart symbol exactly like Ace’s face mark was on her outfit’s left shoulder, Peter would remember this girl from his encounter before the banquet. Trey sighed “Emma… I should have figured he would target you.” Emma looked at Trey, then at Riddle “forgive me your highness, I…” Riddle hummed as he put up a hand to stop her from speaking “You were told to come spy on us yes.” He asked Emma hummed “yes, but I was also curious myself so… I went willingly” She admitted then looked at Ace and her eyes teared up “Ace… is that really you?” Ace blinked “uh depends on whose asking.” Deuce grunted lightly “Ace…” He hissed “I know you went a little crazy because of the stuff they were making us do before you left but come on man, that’s your wife Emma. The girl you’ve been with since middle school, the one who you swore to you would become the Ace of Hearts for.” Ace paused for a moment then his expression turned shocked “wha…”

It's more like this, Hero group has been summoned to aid in the finding of someone important who has been whisked away by dark forces. A high level sage (someone the group's respects/reports to) locks onto the target using magic and the group is sent just outside the location with the mission to rescue the target. The group goes in, navigates through a few encounters with some NPCs, a few monsters, and does a battle encounter with those who have the target hostage. The group wins the fight, releasing the hostage from the captors and escape. However the hostage reveals that the reason he was captured was he was used as a gift to the captor from an evil queen sorceress in exchange for cooperation to fight against another queen who one upped the first queen by taking an artifact that was supposed to be kept secured by the sage but it is revealed that a lapse in security two weeks prior plus some deception by the second villainous queen caused the artifact to be taken and now the sage has to inform others of this incident but dismisses the heroes thanking them for their work and rewarding them properly saying that it's something he has to look into The heroes go onto to deal with another smaller incident that is unrelated to the first but still trouble but then a few weeks later, the second queen comes knocking in a smug tone saying "oh heroes I have some information you want to know about a big plot that this first queen has a hand in oh and about that little artifact I stole a month ago, you want it? Come and get it. Challenge!" So now the group has two missions, one to stop a big plot of the first queen another to liberate a powerful artifact from the second queen who has challenged them. All the while they had no influence on the events that occurred hidden in the background involving these two queens or this artifact and the only reason they are involved at all is because they rescued someone from a subordinate of the first queen and their patron sage needs their help to do hero work.

When it comes to games I am a pure adventure path guy but I like my world to have hidden things running in the background.

Apologies for the delay folks, real life decided to cut into my time for gm posting. I'll try and start things by next Wednesday
