Adventure Seeds

Post here to cast your vote for your first and second choice of adventure.  The adventure which gets the most first-place votes wins and we will run with that one.  If there is a tie, the one with the most overall votes wins out.

Ratings: Listed in each description are the types of encounters players can expect in each adventure.

C=Combat

PS/L=Problem-solving and Logic

R=Roleplaying/Interaction with other PCs and NPCs


NOTE that each adventure features all 3 areas, just in differing degrees, the most prevalent are first, followed by next, and last is least for that adventure.

A note on the PC levels listed below:  The campaign starts with 3nd level PCs.  As PCs go up in level, DMs adjust adventures accordingly.

Also, more adventures will be added once these are played out or once players express interest in certain types of adventures.  And some adventures will "fade away" to reflect time passing, but some may stay and you can undertake them at a later time.

--------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: The three adventures below start off in Scardale.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Protection"

Dalt Kherlor, an old priest of Helm wants to create a shrine to his god in Scardale Town.  The young acolytes assigned to help him have either become seriously ill, disappeared, or lost their nerve and left the faith before the party of holymen could get underway.

Still determined to do what he feels his his god's will, Dalt is hiring adventurers to help him make the trip to Scardale Town and to protect him for the two weeks it will take to establish the shrine.

Pay will be given only after the shrine is completed, but basic travelling expenses and equipment are taken care of for anyone hired.

Dalt promises at least 100 gold pieces to any who help him see the task completed.

Locations:Chandlercross to Scardale Town and point in Scardale Town.

"The Poisoned Wells"

Just as Scardale Town begins to be safe from the plague that killed so many of its citizens a few years ago, a new threat to the health of the people of Scardale is revealed: someone or something is poisoning the wells of the town.

Rainwater does little to make the wells safe, since the are all fed by an underground river.

Magics from the Thayan Enclave have temporarily made the water safe, but people need fresh water daily, and the Thayans and clerics of Scardale Town can not produce enough to satisfy the needs of the people.

Anyone who can find and stop the cause of the poisoning will be heroes of renoun and help re-built the greatness of Scardale Town.

Locations: Scardale Town, it's sewers, the underground river, and ... ?,


PS, C, R

"Into the Ruins"

A small ruined fort just north of Scardale Town is rumored to be running wild with creatres, both mundane and magical.  Giant rats, poisonous snakes, goblins, strange glowing insects as large as a halfling, and other creatures have been seen in and around the fort, and some have started to grow brave enough to come into Scardale Town and threaten its people.

The party is one of several who are hired to go into the fort and rid it of the creatures who have taken it over.

Locations:  The runied fort north of Scardale Town.


C, PS, R (Not a whole lot of roleplaying to start.)

Poisoned Well, then Protection.

1. Into the Ruins
2. Protection

"Protection" is winning out by numbers of votes.

We'll see how it turns out once the other two players/PCs get here.

That should happen by Saturday.

Thanks, all!

1. Into the Ruins
2. Poisoned wells

Maeva Brightleaf:  Give me your second choice of adventure, please.

Things are getting interesting, number/vote-wise.

Here it is from my point-of-view....

1. The Poisoned Wells
2. Into the Ruins
3. Protection

Ah, he just loves 'em all.

I say Into the Ruins, then Protection.

"Into the Ruins" got the most first choice votes and the highest total number of votes, so that is the adventure we will undertake!

That may not please Melisandre d'Elbraec's player, who was the only one NOT to vote for "Into the Ruins" at all, but I hope Melisandre will stick with the party.

I'll create posts in Taverns that will lead toward the start of the adventure.

Thanks, all!

OK, I vote Protection and then Poisoned Wells.  That's my 2cp.  Thanks.

Hmm...could be Poisoned Wells wins, with Into the Ruins as a close second.

Sorry to all fans of "Protection".

Keep posting as you like in the Taverns thread.  As you move on, we'll see the misison come to fruition.

Bumping the thread for the new Dalelands start. SO lets sound off guys!

I assume we're going for the three at the start, yes?
If so, I vote for...

1. Into the ruins
2. Poisoned well

1. Wells (underground rivers are a hobby of mine, irl :p)
2. Ruins

1. Protection
2. Into the Ruins

1. Protection
2. Poisoned wells

SO what would you all think of a bounty hunt that would allow you for an escort and allow for good old treasure hunting? there would be the chase, dungeon delving in theswers then in caves in the wilderness, and combat, plus treasures to find, thats one scenario.


Scenario two. Straight dungeod delve. Treasure hunt. a small earthquake centered in what used to be tilverton has uncovereda series of old dungeons, and the Neighboring twons are looking for adventureres to go down and make sure no monsters are going to be coming out.


Scenario three.  Caravans all along the Road through Cormanthor forset are being attacked by what they describe as "Drow on horseback. Adventureres are needed to get to the heart of what is going on and fix the problem.

I like the sound of #2 myself.
My second choice would probably be the first one.  I'm not too keen on fighting drow just yet. ;)

Two and then One.

One and three would be my choices.

Yep, what she said.  :-)

I'll second (third?) that preference.

So the earthquake and dungeondelve aye okay, we start it tomorrow morning.

so why is no one posting over in the Dalelands earthquake thread? can everyone see it?

Sorry, I must have missed it.  I see it now, though, so I'll get posting right away.

Sorry, long day out of town yesterday.  Here now and will be for most of the day.

As for myself...  I was just trying to figure out how to enter the scene...
