So next week you will bring in new characters. Make sure if you are going outside the CORE you get my approval for the class or race first. If you don't I may so no and you'll have to start from scratch. EVERY core class is auto approved. All characters will be 1st level.
-You will have 1 Potion as a magic item. If a scroll is better for your class I will accept that as a substitute but it must be a 1 first level spell. You must send me what you want, and get approval. Failure to do this starts you with nothing. PERIOD.
-You will be starting the game in Myth Drannor. You have come here with your instructor Principal Pouessal a human male with a very flamboyant personality which gets him much teasing from his students but is much beloved without question. All of you have an endearing connection to him in one way or another as he could be considered a father if he wasn't your instructor. He offers instruction in a non-serious manner and makes it all seem like fun and actually recreation. However, he teaches well and learning from Principal Pouessal is unequitable! You have the best instructor and you know it.
-You are in a training Academy called "the Gifted". This academy is for individuals that have displayed exceptional gifts or talents as a child and the City of Montravail works to promote these to build them into persons working for the city in future various roles. The city pays for the instruction and being identified as a "Gifted" is an exceptional honor for students but even more their parents!
-You are from the URNET UPPER DISTRICT of Montravail. A short history of the district follows:
Urnet District (Upper) – “The Instructional District”
Ø District Summary: Education and training.
Ø Religious Institutions within District:
o Abadar (replaced Saint Cuthbert): (L/N) God of cities, wealth, merchants and law Saint
o Gorum (replaced Kord): (CG) God of athletics, sports, brawling, strength and courage.
o Torog (replaced Moradin): (L/G) God of the dwarves, smithing, protection, metal-craft, stonework
o Irori (replaced St Cuthbert): (L/N) God of History, knowledge, self-perfection
Ø Cost of Residence:
o Ranked 24th most affordable District of 32 within all of Montravail – Ranked 11th most affordable
District of 19 within Upper Districts (excludes Wayfarer District). Lower # is more affordable! This excludes the Wayfarer’s, Court and Province Districts.
Ø Tree Type:
o Pipe Cactus
The persons who reside here are quite wealthy. They use their wealth to educate and train. This district is known as the instructional district because there are many trainers here of various arts willing to teach persons many different skills and ways. Every building here has the capacity to teach an individual something. This can be from a skill, fighting style, martial arts special moves, psionic disciplines and much more. If one is looking to be trained and learn this is the district for you! The cost for training is quite high, but individuals get the chance to work under some of the best-known persons in the field.
Many well-known adventurers are hired here and paid to assist in the training of various sorts! There are many buildings in this district offering various training. The buildings all go up at least 3 levels if not more. Partying, drinking and any other frivolous thing such as gambling is highly frowned upon in this district. Trainers will not offer their skill to ones who are not serious and go about it the right way. Training in areas other than serious disciplines are NOT offered here (however, there is said to be a couple who go against the norm and do train in other areas; however, this is a secret well kept). The price is high for these trainings (minimum 7,500 gp’s). All trainers announce that the “Lion” will ultimately decide whether they pass or not. You are aware that the "Lion" is a Manticore Fountain called the Red-Carpet Fountain. How it will decide your fate in passing your classes and working for Montravail you have no clue.
From what you know about the district:
The Red Carpet Manticore Fountain: This fountain not only gives regular drinking water, but also decides on all individual’s passing or failing whatever training they have taken within this district. Strangely as it seems all institutions of learning that reside within this district go by the same edict that when one is coming to the end of their educational instruction the “Lion” will decide on whether they have passed or not. This means that they will get their last day of training here.
Dragon’s Head: This large building has ongoing purplish lights spew forth from a gigantic black dragon head perched atop a large building! All you know is this building is amazing and you wonder who and what lives inside.
THE GAME BEGINNING - What you know
-You are in Myth Drannor with Principal Pouessal being the Gifted Students. You are on the outskirts of the most south-eastern section of the map for an educational field trip! So cool and you cannot be more excited. You are heading to Myth Drannor even if on the outer edge! ALL are excited by this opportunity. Keep in mind regardless of class ALL can be excited. Think about why your class and character would be overwhelmingly excited by this experience. Use that in your write up.
-Arriving at the Myth Drannor border you are fascinated by Principal Pouessal stories of the lands. You all want more and beg him to allow you to actually enter the borders. He is adamite that you cannot and jokes that "I'll be fired if I do". You all chuckle saying you'd never tell and pleading relentlessly.
Finally, your beloved professor says, "Let's go". Your pleading and requests hava e finally convinced him. He does say "I will be removed from my position if they find out I brought you inside the Myth Drannor you know. However, I know if I don't I'll never hear the end of it from all of you in class. I'll take you to see one building and that is all! Agreed?"
Overwhelmingly excited and loving Principal Pouessal even more now you all cheer in excitement, give him a hug and say "let's go"! Looking at you he smiles and says "I guess we go" and starts sharing stories of the building you will be heading into!"
Walking into Myth Drannor is amazing for all of you! As students and friends, you are amazed at this opportunity. Principal Pouessal starts to share the story of the building you will be entering. He shares a scary and mysterious story of a demon lord that was once contained within. He tells of how powerful it was and how it required multiple elven wizards to stand guard over its imprisonment to ensure it was secure. One night however, as the eleven guards slept through their routine uneventful watch the demon lord escaped killing all the sleeping elves. This Demon Lord was never seen again as the morning guards saw the slaughter. All of Myth Drannor was searched but the demon lord was not found. Where it went is uncertain, but it is speculated that it returned to the Abyss.
As Principal Pouessal completes his compelling story he opens the door to the building and proclaims, "Here is where the Demon Lord Escaped". Feeling a bit scared the door flies open and your fear amplifies as you hear a voice from inside say "I'm still here old man and you will be the first to die with my return". In an instant a bolt of electricity streaks towards Principal Pouessal causing him the fall and sizzle in ongoing convulsions. Next the demon looks at you and says, "I guess you are next"!
Overwhelmed by what just happened to Principal Pouessal and terrified by this winged demon you all run as fast and far away as possible. Finding a suitable building in Myth Drannor you huddle together and wonder what to do? Is this demon coming for you? How can you even return to Montravail and where is it from where you are? Worried and scared as young men you gather as a group contemplating what to do!
They had a racial quota, that needed to be meet. To continue there funding.
With this group of misfit pics how in the hell were you allowed to join “the Gifted”? Did they not have a minimum comeliness requirement? Need two more pics posted to fulfill the team.
Thought it was Ra' Dan.
Just for the record...His name was Radan, not Radar. This isn't MASH....
Yes, I coped and pasted this, from game updates I did back then. Those dates are all accurate.
That’s great info you have there Dan! was it from one of the old game write-ups?
Hey guys. I remember before we left our last game. Someone brought up, about when the last TPK was. I was digging through a bunch of old emails, and I found Some stuff.
This was on 17 Oct 2016
The game started out with sexton, demios and ukbrek, still alive. And battling crioi and lady cira. Sexton used some healing and brought up ukbrek and demios, from near death. Sexton tried to then damage crioi. But it didn't kill him. Lady cira then used a spell a spell that killed sexton. Ulbrek then attacked crioi. By throwing his axe. It hit, but didn't kill him. Demios tried to attack but was damaged, but his own atrack, by lady cira. Now only ulbrek remained standing. He them throw another weapon at crioi. And damaged him, but didn't kill him. Then lady cira announced that she was lady cira twin sister. Then fighting stopped whike she wanted to know why the order challenged them and ulbrek told them that there mission was to kill the troll, which they did. And the rest of them. Just got in the way. Ulbrek then charged crioi and was damaged by a spell from him. Ulbrek laided on the ground unconscious, then the 2 of them took turns doing silt damage to him. Then finialy lady cira, sister out right killed him. This was now the permentement end to the order of might and magic. In the end arbados allowed lady cira sister to take the bodies of all the memebers of might and magic. To offer them to there god of hell. The game ended here.
We started the brotherhood on 18 Oct 2016. Here was the game update
The game started off with all of us giving a short summary on our new characters, and to see who may know who in the town and to see what others may think of everyone elses ew characters. We also learned about what each new person does, within the town. The game started with a a few characters seeing the head guard running up the road. And some of us followed him. He went to house where a women was yelling that this was the 2nd time her son was hurt. After a few mintues the head guard walked off with the women. Then out came a young man we all knew by the name off lauerl. He had some bandages on his head and was bleeding. Keldrix, tomokas, and dynea where all there asking him what had happened. Then radar came by and johns character. John then offered to get him a slive. To help with his wounds and he left to talk to his parents about it. But they wouldn't give it to him for free. Then lauerl began to tell us a story about him begin attacked. And asked if we would like to see. So all of us went to the outskirts of town. When we got out there. He then told us that he was scared of radar. That radar beat him up once before. And that he wanted all of us to now gang up on radar and beat him up, for him. The group refused. Then Keldrix made a deal with radar. That him and radar would fight and if Keldrix one. He would never touch laurel again. But radar didn't want to. Then laurel said that he lied about radar causing his injuries. And that he was attacked at night by some type of beast. He said that for the past few night he has been going out at night to gather some plants that can glow at night and that if he brought them back to his family they could sell them for money. But up until last night. He was never attacked. He should us some bruises on his chest and he said it seemed like some type of bull or deer attacked him. After he went down. It didn't attack. And that he wanted us to help protect him when he goes out again. The game ended here. We some characters agreeing and some where not sure what to do.
So the brotherhood and Randan and Amyon ran from 17 Oct 2016- 23 March 2022
I know we had that 15-month COVID break, but still that's like 5 years
I was not shocked that she stood for what she believed in which was her friends. Her greatest strength and weakness was her love for the ones she considered her family. I think this ending really demonstrates who Mianna truly was. I am sad to see she won't achieve her goal have ruling from Castle Ravenloft. I feel Magister made a major mistake here and his ego got the best of him. I don't see how Mianna could have survived. This is a tragic ending but a truly satisfying one of finally seeing beyond a doubt what truly mattered to Mianna; Power or Family .... Family won.
Yeah, I am shocked, that she would stand against him, as well. Minnina is a survivor, she probably has some spell or magic item, that can teleport her away. But even if she gets away, she can never go back to Arabados. Or gateway.
I don't know what to say...Im shocked she would stand against the Magister and all she could stand to gain...very touching...
Although it doesn't look good for Mianna...I didn't see an ending to the story yet...
Dam the female wizard! May she never win Castle Ravenloft.
Wow, this entry story is top notch. But man, you have now provided me with a delimina. I was pretty much sold on a class. But I always had this other class, that would fit in perfectly into this entry story. Ohhh what to do. You will be getting some emails from me tonight.
OMG !!!! wow!!! Mianna went out with a BOOM. This is great ...I will be emailing my character.
Mianna Speaks:
Mianna Speaks: Magister I need time away as it seems my party has had an unfortunate event that I would like to assist with.
Magister Arbados Speaks: Unfortunate event? My last unfortunate event was stubbing my toe after a bath. Is that such an event that you need to aid them with Mianna? Yes, complete sarcasm and say what you need. You are direct every time needed except when it comes to your silly allies. It grows on my nerves Lady Mianna so I give you a choice. You either put them aside and stay here to train as the next Magister or shall I say the first Magistera or stay so attuned in keeping your allies important and leave Gateway as never to be the Magistera I considered you to be.
Mianna Speaks: With all respect Magister Arbados I will step down from my position and my standing as the next great Magistera. I'm sure you'd consider this decision weak but I consider it strong as my friends are what make me who I am. One cannot be all about themselves and must give to ones they love. I love these brothers and will abandon my Magistera Mianna opportunity for them. That is BOOM who I am.
Magister Arbados Speaks: First, and foremost never use your BOOM in conversation with me. The next time you do you DIE! Second, I care not for your friends. If they die it is all the better as you have no silly distractions. I actually hope they DIE! I like Death! Finally, are you not understanding my words Lady Mianna in being the next Magister and would like to die considering your allies more important?
Mianna Speaks: I will never abandon my friends Magister. Power, strength and being the next Magistira is unimportant compared to my allies and my love for them. I will abandon you and the title of Magistera before I abandon them!
I'd like to add that you will be the one to die Magister if you attack me. Do not underestimate the Great Mianna. If attacked I will give you a Boom, Shakka, Lakka, Bamn, Boom for each of my fiends. These BOOM'S will be so amplified by my allies you will have no chance. I'm sure you remember their strength and I will imbue that into my attacks against you! You still want to go Magister?
Magister Arbados Speaks: Of, course lady. I don't back down from any challenge especially one that trained under me. I know you, your weakness and will destroy you without worry. Have you forgotten? I AM the MAGISTER and you simply work for me. Now you die in the name of stupidity and see the power I have that you have never seen. I am saddened that you must die Lady Mianna at the cost of a group of wasteful companions. You could have been next but now you will die. I have no allies my Lady and your death is nothing more than swatting a fly that disturbs me. You are now that fly - IT'S THE END FOR YOU LADY MIANNA and in respect I say Shakka, Lakka in a blood red color. I am saddened to see you go Lady Mianna but nobody challenges the Magister and lives!
