The Campaign Builder's Guild

That's a pretty mean-looking character sheet.

First session went well, mostly served as a prologue and I kept it pretty rolling-light. The characters got a brief introduction to the people around them and the state of affairs, watched some traitors hang, then saw some foul magic overtake two of Verdain's knights (and Baron Verdain?). Sorin acted with restraint in the presence of his father, Triske got to eat a lot of mutton while Aliya began asserting her dominance and Aradia was quite flustered at the whole situation. Next session this new warband packs the horses and moves east to the Pyre Line on the border before making their excursion into Arcanathraan, where they'll likely be running into a lot of undead.

[ic=Aradia Bristlewatch][spoiler=Picture][/spoiler]

Quote from: DescriptionIf Aradia were summed up in a word, it would be unremarkable.  She's not very pretty or tall, outspoken or charming.  She stands a towering 5'2" and is immovable as a mountain at 93 lbs.  Her form is often obscured to the best of her ability in baggy robes or dresses, all the most muted browns or grays she could find.  Generally, she prefers not to speak over others and is content to blend into the background, except when upset.  Her age leads her to be credulous, prone to tantrums, and fearful of even the most trivial threats.  Still, she has dreams and she intends to live long enough to see them out.

Despite this, she is firmly loyal to House Verdain, for services rendered.  This loyalty manifests in her bringing her compassion and gifted healing hands into Arcanathraan on the crusade.  With her comes her constant companion, the white weasel Havadian Magnul-Gare and her horse, Daisy.

What archetype are you using that lets you use Wis as a casting stat?

That would be the "forgot how to read" archetype.

Quote from: NuminousThat would be the "forgot how to read" archetype.

I thought that was a barbarian archetype

There's a reason that's my favorite class.

Next session currently scheduled for Monday, same time. I have to work fairly early on Tuesday though so the session would be pretty short (2 hours ish). Anyone unable to make a 6 eastern slot? We could start earlier to keep the game longer.

I can do 6 EST!

6 EST works for me.

I can do 6.

Cool, we'll do it then.

Reminder that there is a session tomorrow night at our regular time, 7 eastern.

I just realized I've never actually posted my character. So I'll do that now!

Game last night was fun. Feels good to finally have our old friend Thatch back in the mix, doesn't it guys?!

EDIT: In all seriousness though, I felt it was important to establish the Nightmare as an alternative way to travel between areas in the mortal world. Thatch can teach any of the characters how to find areas susceptible to dream leaks (or do it for the group if they want) and they are a little more common in Arcanathraan than they would currently be elsewhere due to civilization being overrun by the undead in the kingdom.

Next session this Monday. Anyone not able to make it?
