Jkeown Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Or should I say, the last two? Perhaps folks can draw inspiration or nick ideas from the goings-on in Caleon... Location: City of Chalkcliff, Chalasan Region, Province of Blasarka... Dag Kulane and Dunsto Parhoon continue their investigation of the strange, chimerical animals that Leddoon has plagued the city with. Along for the ride is Spicket, a goblin wizard of considerable ability. Meanwhile, Kia Rashon, the Troll Princess, arrives in town with goals of her own, goals that might include the Imperial Throne itself! Huon Karn awakes to discover a large, magically altered Sea-Going Rammerhorn charging down the street toward his tenement. Choosing not to fight the great beast, he runs like mad as his home is destroyed. Daphne Yamtussel, meanwhile, has been assigned a similar job, investigate Lord Ridley, the foreigner who operates the Zoological Gardens across the river. His animals have been used in the attacks, perhaps he's the key to it all. Dag, Dunsto and Spicket travel north to Cold Crossing, discovering a cult of nature-worshippers who've gone bad, led by a nymph and Leddoon, they intend to destroy the city and allow nature to return to the area. Leddoon escapes via gate to the Lunching Wyvern, a tavern just outside Chalkcliff. Dag and Dunsto give chase, returning to the city when the crew at the Wyvern offer no help in finding the runaway wizard. Their questioning of the populace suggest that Lord Ridley might be of assistance. They arrive at Ridley's residence to discover Daphne Yamtussel already enjoying dinner with Lord and Lady Ridley. Outside, the wind blows with sudden ferocity, as a great oak animates in the garden. Dunsto jumps to the garden door, calling down essence from the Imperial Flow and charging up an immense fireball spell. He lets the magical holocaust consume Ridley's garden. The Lady faints. Kia settles into the city meeting up with a man claiming to be Lord-Captain Tenebar Kaloosa. He wants raw materials and is prepared to pay for them. She contacts Glaurig, her husband's quartermaster. Arranging the delivery of a third of the promised shipment to Kaloosa's men at the port. On her way back to the tavern to talk further with Kaloosa, she can't help but notice the blast from across the river. Curious, she heads that way... Shall I continue?

Jkeown Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: In my campaign this week... Of Course! The PCs: Dag Kulane: Former regent of the Rumallan Empire. When his young charge abdicated the thone 15 years ago, he forsook politics and became a wandering swordmaster. In that time, he has come to love his empire more and more, and hate politics in proportion. He uses a K'Dag, a two-handed sword, the Meteoric K'Dag of Thunder. Dunsto Parhoon: Distant relative of the Yamtussel clan and an exiled member of the Parhoon (a powerful military wizard family specializing in Battlecraft) He bears the Sword of Strife. A weapon that brings war hard upon it's wielder. He does not use it, preferring instead to let his spells speak for him. Daphne Yamtussel: Imperial Clerk and Sage. She works in the Inquisition Office in the vast port City of Chalkcliff. He interest in all this is academic, but a recent edict from Her Majesty forces her to find a weaponmaster. Conveniently, Dag Kulane is seeking a new apprentice. Spicket. In his own words, he is "just a Goblin" but word around town is that he is the Envoy from the Goblin Nation. Who is he, really? Other than a little green pest with powerful spells, no clues are forthcoming. Kia Rashon, the 15th wife of the TrollFather Scabrog Y'Za, a shrewish, dangerous she-troll, beautiful and scheming. Her plans include de-throning the inexperienced girl who now calls herself Empress and placing herself there instead. Huon Karn, nephew of the departed Emperor Djarka Karn and claimant to the throne. Also, a street thief and common thug. He seems to hate magic and wizards. Eragoni: Rumallan Disputer and Publisher. Having written a number of salient papers on Imperial politics and social behavior, she finds herself inside another huge political mess. Will her pen prove mightier than the swords of her enemies? Her new-found magical power may sway the tide of the coming conflict... What conflict? Stay Tuned... Next Post: NPCs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: In my campaign this week... But of COURSE Spicket is no ordinary Goblin! In fact, here he is in some sort of military outfit, waving a spoon around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
