New Edom: The War on the River (OOC Thread)

[Tybalt]

This is a game I'd like to run as an introductory campaign set during the Second Goblin War in my New Edom campaign.

It is set in the City of Fineberg, which is partly besieged though the Silver River that borders it is contested. On one side of the city is a Celtic Army led by Duke Anderman. His warships threaten to blockade the city on the coast and river side. On the other side of the river is a ruined city (Nala) occupied by goblinoids of the Theocracy of Tiamat. The villages and towns nearest Fineberg on both sides ofthe river were evacuated and razed by the New Edomite Army and are ghost towns.

PCs for the New Edom campaign have the following choices:

1. Choice of race (dwarf, elf, lizardfolk, human)

2. Choice of class (fighter, ranger, barbarian, sorceror, mage, commoner, aristocrat, rogue)

3. Choice of profession (partly determined by above, for humans these include: guildsman, council policeman, politician, soldier, priest, scholar, dilletante, mariner, criminal)
dwarves (artificer, warrior, craftsman, delver)
elves (loremaster, elementalist, shape shifter, seer, warrior, beastlord)
lizardfolk (hunter, shaman, rivermaster, warrior)

These choices determine basic wealth, social standing and so on.

1st Adventure:

A group of talented people are needed (with so many soldiers and people of rank busy with the siege) to sneak upriver to one of the abandoned towns as escort to a sage who will be searching for a magical book in the tomb of a fallen hero. There was no time to investigate the tomb properly (it had not been opened in centuries) and it was believed to be well sealed enough to deny it to the enemy. According to Lord Aholibamah it will be needed, but he cannot journey there while the enemy seems to be mustering to attack. It should be a simple mission--in and out with the book.
