D&D: Ptolus II

Part 4: Into the Dungeons

feeds@yuku.com (Dreissen) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:12:08 GMT

The Street of a Million Gods is a bit optomistic in name and number, but as you make your way north along that city street, you pass by cathedrals, shrines, temples, chapels and other sorts of worship buildings too numerous to count. You pass the cathedral of St. Maritus, Lothian saint of protection and healing. A stone shrine to Fharlanghn stands nearby, blue white candles burning slowly in its small alcove. There are small wooden stalls, where priests call out to gods such as...

The Delver's Guild

feeds@yuku.com (Dreissen) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:26:18 GMT

Prices to join the Delver's Guild:

Initiate:
3 gp per month, 25 gp lifetime membership.

All this entitles you to is to undertake specific Delver missions. It also allows your next of kin, friends, etc to put your name and information up on the Wall of Longing. If you go lifetime member, it also allows you to tell others truthfully that you are a lifetime guild member, even if you are only a wannabe. Mostly this...

Part 3: The City of the Tower

feeds@yuku.com (Dreissen) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:07:55 GMT

It is called the city of the tower, and that is the first thing you see. When the city is still a grey smudge on the cliffs sitting above the sea, the vertical line of the tower, rising higher than anything you have ever seen, is visible. Ptolus stands in the distance before you, the sun, rising steadily, backlighting the scene.

It has been a long, hard journey, but you have arrived. You are dirty, smelly and likely need to buy a new pair of boots, but the city is there, only...

Part 2: Talmaggi

feeds@yuku.com (Dreissen) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 16:33:57 GMT

Talmaggi is not nearly as big as Ennikar, nor as rich. Ennikar is about 8000 people and sits around a rich mining area. Talmaggi is about 1500 people, with maybe another 500 people living on farms, ranches and such in the local vicinity. Talmaggi is not nearly as rich as Ennikar, but they are pretty much self-sufficient in foodstuffs. The main income of Talmaggi comes from resupplying caravans. The valley which Talmaggi sits at the base of constitutes the main pass heading over the hills (...

Into the Desert

feeds@yuku.com (Dreissen) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:29:16 GMT

The morning comes a bit early for everyone, but then free drink tends to do that as one gets older. Fortunately none of you consumed too much last night, so the only ill effects you feel this morning are a few aches in the body and head. But they pass quickly and after breaking your nightly fast in the inn, you head off to the caravan grounds. The tents, stalls and battle rings have all been removed, and the place is littered with carts, wagons, camels, horses, crates, boxes, barrels of...

The First Adventure

feeds@yuku.com (Dreissen) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 02:02:01 GMT

The Grand Caravan:
The air is buzzing in grand bazaar of Ennikar - a great marketplace that stretches from the grain merchants on the western side to the ore warehouses in the east. Joguraan, the head of the trade guild, arguably the most important man in the city, is organizing an enormous caravan headed for the port city of Ptolus.

Character Ideas

feeds@yuku.com (Dreissen) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 01:55:36 GMT

If you are potentially interested in playing, let me know and let the others know what type of character you ae thinking of playing.

As a note, anything non-standard that is questionable ( hasn't been allowed in other games on the board ), including Feat / Classes need to be run by me. You can find the basics at the 3.5 SRD here. No psionics JDo :P
