Storm Kings Thunder

Chapter 1: Rumblings

The Sword Coast in the Forgotten Realms

A recently developed hamlet by the name of "Nightstone" has ceased communication with the outside world. The hamlet has had a long history of poor diplomatic status with locals such as; elves of the Ardeep forest, bandits along the roadside, and orc tribals. With each passing day the wealthy in Waterdeep count out the loss of coin yet to be collected from their investment. Fed up with the situation they are seeking adventurers who are interested in checking up on the welfare of the township. Should you choose to take on this task you will be charged with the responsibility of seeking out Lady Velrosa Nandar; a lesser noble responsible for Nightstone's safety and leadership. She is to be found and escorted back to Waterdeep where she is expected to explain her absence to the Lords Alliance. Should there be a greater issue at hand or Lady Nandar is no where to be found you will also be expected to resolve any conflicts, secure the hamlet for future use, and find proof of where the noble has gone.

Level Restrictions

All players between level one to three may apply to this game.

I am looking for

Three to five players of any alignment or personality that will prioritize the safety of other people if not for their own moral beliefs than the prospect of gold.

You should consider

Storm Kings Thunder is a very combat heavy campaign and this means having a character adept at dealing damage may be an asset. Other skills of note include; Diplomacy, Intimidate, Stealth, Survival, Spot, Listen, Handle Animal, and various Knowledge's.

 

We will be exploring the first chapter of the book "Storm Kings Thunder" as I have experience in running this particular chapter both in person and online. I have an interest in throwing twists into the story to keep things interesting as well as to keep those of you who have played through the book before on your toes. Expect monsters to be different, familiar faces to either not exist or have different goals than what is written in the book. Above all else, I hope you enjoy the experience and we have fun together.

 

 

Several well armed men clad in polished plated metals enter the tavern alongside a well dressed and clearly wealthy woman. The plated men all of various races between elves, humans, and a single dwarf; all step aside to allow her passage. They gaze across the room as she brushes past her entourage and she is quick to reach for a parchment that had been hidden from view. Not interested in the goings on of the establishment she coldly recites the contents of the parchment in a clear elevated tone; "Listen well, A call for aid to all available armed and skilled individuals available for the task!" She clears her throat only momentarily before continuing. "The Lords Alliance seeks several individuals interested in the reclaiming of a hamlet no larger than several dozen people in size, we are offering an advanced payment of two hundred gold upon confirmation of the township's status and another appropriately sized reward once more sensitive matters have been tended to, should you be interested a representative will be available for one day at this establishment to make arrangements for your arrival along the High Road" The woman closes the parchment in a rather practised fashion prior to ushering her companions toward the corner of the room. Her soldiers loom over her table of choice; a single seat available to anyone daring enough to approach her.

Just to note that he is participating in the Tavern Brawl at the moment and is looking to get enough XP that he advances to level 2. So in the next day or so he is probably advancing to 2nd level, which will probably be helpful for him to survive and not need the others to rescue him so much.

Looks like you've probably got enough. But I would maybe drop a note in the OOC chat, if you havn't done so yet.

 

Some folks aren't yet in the habit of checking this page regularly, but I know we have a whole slew of newer members with lower level characters.

Not a bad idea, I will go ahead and do that.

A helmed man, at least assuming a man from the character's moderate height and slim but wide shouldered build, hears the proclamation of the wealthy woman. Another hamlet in danger, then? Is it goblins again this time? Undead? Bandits? Or perhaps something different this time. Orcbolg decides it is worth his time to find out. People might be in danger, and that danger might involve the dreaded foes he has sworn his life to fight. Giving himself one last check over his carefully selected equipment, Orcbolg approaches the woman's table.

Only got 800 XP, so not advancing before the game starts. But still ready to go and looking forward to it.

Are you okay with being in a party of level 3's and taking on potentially risky encounters?

Yeah I am fine with that. Hopefully they can help protect him and/or heal him up if he goes down. If he can survive the first encounter, he hopefully will have enough XP to level up and not be so much of a burden.

We will begin tomorrow once I post the first IC game thread! If you have any items you need to purchase or preparations to complete before the game begins please purchase them from the market prior to your first in character post. Once you begin posting the market will be closed to you.
