Greetings new folks!  A pleasure having you aboard.
More good chats and contributions for all! :)

I'm starting a post summarizing the entire campaign to help the new players catch up with what's going on.  So far I've only got the first 3 chapters done.  7 more to go!

Can anyone tell me what types of opponents you have faced? I need to choose Favored Enemy without looking in a mirror.

Nice. Considering this guy was a dwarf, I went with goblinoids and undead as Favored Enemies, Dire Bat as Animal Companion/mount, and bat as Familiar. With crafting and alchemy.....I'm Batman.....

Pointy ears like a bat too.

If we are starting at level 6, are we limited to starting equipment listed in Character creation, or do we have a budget?

Good choices, methinks.

Hmm... if the Triplefangs were Justice League, or more broadly superheros...

I was going to answer this question in your PM where you asked it first.  It's a little complicated.  Your current equipment is basically a disguise made of rags and piecemeal, ill-fitting human armor, and that's it.

But we'll find a way to get you some starting weapons, some gold, and maybe a magic item or two.  The additional problem?  Where are you going to buy anything after fleeing Dwarven lands?

Travelling adventurer merchants in the tunnels?

Uhm.  Thieves that took things from a dwarven vault and fled into the... wait, wait, this is coming back to me :)

Ooo... person turning his back on worldly goods, seeking spiritual enlightenment, selling off his equipment to assist the poor/church/buy rare and costly materials that help reach the higher planes.

Do dwarves hate elves in general, or just the 'type' of elf I appear as?
Standard elf characteristics?

So, don't bother putting in any info on weapons, armor, and equipment, because I basically have none to start with?

That'll make finishing up the character EXTRA easy......

Only have to fill in data for Familiar, Animal Companion, and decide on Ranger spells. Ready to join in otherwise.

Sounds like Kadrick has a Mirror of Life Trapping. I dont know what Sirrot had before the transformation, but he ought to retain his armorsmithing and Alchemy tools, shouldn't he?
 He's also a decent animal handler if you have any in need of training.

From the DM's portrayal here, all.  You ESPECIALLY as an abomination of the utmost worst kind.

Nice, right?

That's the optimism Mord likes.

Yes.  Not that anyone has expressed knowledge of the item in-character (Mord has no clue beyond the descriptions given).

So, the situation is that if they catch me I will be executed for nothing more than breathing? Hasn't anybody pointed out that the spell could not happen as it did WITHOUT Moradin's approval? Seems like the priesthood has some 'splainin' to do.....

I have been reading up and have gotten a decent idea of what is going on, but I don't really see how Adiel fits in with the group.  I am not even sure when he joined them.  I haven't made it to that part of the story.

oh no.  Just for existing - you don't need to breathe.

Ah, but this was the interloper outlander, and her corrupting druidic magics, not the pure divine grace of Moradin.  They must have used foul magics to hide their crime from Moradin!

Adiel was pretty blandly/minimally played since I've been here, so I'm afraid I can't help there.  In theory knowledge master, but it's been very infrequently provided.

As a replacement player as well, I'm not certain when/where/how of Adiel's joining/involvement, but I believe his player came and went a few times, so has been rather backgrounded/silent in conversations, and subsequently skipped.

LOL... I have never been accused of being bland in how I play a character. Any input from other players would be appreciated.  You can send to me in PM.

Originally, Adiel had kept an eye on the party's quest for the Tome of Legends even before joining the group.  He has a great interest in magical items and believed that this book held great importance in upcoming events involving the Triplefang clan.

He met up with Holly, Sunna, Glumr, and Farden at the end of Chapter 8, just as they returned by a salvaged boat from the Haunted Tower of Sowell.

They were pulled a great haul of treasure out of the tower, including many magic items.  The group was hesitant to fully welcome this newcomer who had showed up just now that there was treasure, but he quickly proved himself to be extremely helpful in identifying several magic items, assessing the values of the magic items as well as more mundane item, and helping the party find buyers.  When all was said and done our heroes had enough gold and silver coin to buy The Tome of Legends from Proctor Lemon.

Farden unexpectedly took his share of the loot and left the party.  Always practical and grounded, Farden had more interest in being  wealthy than being a legend.  Without Farden, the group lacked martial punch, so they asked Mord (who had be fighting goblins with Tora's warband on the southern border) to rejoin them.

After they bought The Tome of Legends Holly, Mord, Sunna, and Adiel signed the book, but for some reason it would not accept Glumr's signature.  Frustrated and depressed by this turn of events Glumr left the group, leaving us with the party we have now.

Once Holly learned of the 3 armies heading towards the Tree of Life, Adiel formulated the plan to travel on foot to Sloss Hinterplatz, find the portal key, and take the dwarven roads north to The Land of the Giants.

His player has been absent a lot lately, so he's fallen into a NPC role.  However, when Sirrot was reincarnated as a Calaquende it was Adiel who stepped up taking instant action when things went south.  He turned himself and Sirrot invisible and snuck him away.  Later he disguised Sirrot as human and smuggled him to a rented house in Humantown where the two of them are hiding out even now.

If you'd like to hop into the action the party is floundering in their attempts to find one of the two dwarves integral in the plan to steal the portal key plate they need to get to The Land of the Giants.  She is an acrobat by the name of Beindra.  Perhaps you'd have more luck searching on your own. If you'd like to try please roll Gather Information.

May I ask what and where this Tree of Life is? No doubt Adiel will be regaling me with stories and tales to quell my unease as we hide from MY OWN DAMNED PEOPLE......

NORTH.  t's as far north as you can go.

The human clans live mostly in the grasslands.

http://triplefang.yoyo-pete.co...hp?id=map.triplefang

To the north (and some to the east) of the grasslands are the dwarven mountains.  Sloss Hinterpltz, where you are now, is 180 miles north of Pliffa, the northernmost Triplefang village.

http://triplefang.yoyo-pete.co...id=sloss.hinterplatz

North beyond the mountains are the Lands of the Giants.  Powerful magic keeps the giants from entering the Lands of the Dwarves or Men.  At the northern most point of The Land of the Giants is Yggdrasi - The Tree of Life.  It is also the gateway to many realms such as the spirit realm and the Land of the Gods.

When our heroes meet up with Dunmeal to hear about the big plan to steal from Kadrick the whole party will be together - Holly, Mord, Sunna, Adiel, Sirrot, Ros, and Ragnar.  (Those last two are NPC followers of Sunna)
