This will be on this forum in a written fashion. No, I do not have discord.
We will meet on Saturdays from 2 pm to 3:45. I cant really go overtime I have another game after that.
We will all (including me) have 2 level 5 characters.
This is expected to be clean. No swearing or inappropriate conduct.
If your post could be triggering, please put a trigger warning with a note why at the top of the post, ex. TW: Suicide, or something. (also maybe ask if the topic is acceptable first)
In-game relationships with other characters or NPCs are not allowed. It makes things complicated and could lead to inappropriate conduct.
Homebrew is welcome. That does not mean you can create a race with +100 to everything and a trillion abilities- oh, and they can also fly. That means homebrew.
Alright, now that that's out of the way, Hi, my name is Dawn. I love school, writing, and animals. If I were a character I would be a chaotic good homebrew race of some sort and a weird class that nobodies ever heard of. Or I wouldn't be an adventurer, I would just man the first-ever dnd pet shop and do my exploring in the form of searching for animals. I am LDS. I'm a high school student. hmm, that about covers me, I think. I look forward to being your dungeon master! Oh, I also lose my train of thought really easily.
Ok, so heres the relavant part. You were all in Neverwinter for whatever reason and you heard a booming nearby. Out of curiosity, stupidity, or heroism, you investigated. You all congregate in the same area, but with the booming continuing didn't stop for introductions. You continued to the top of a hill overlooking a valley with a group of drow in broad daylight digging away at the earth. You begin to see something from inside but then the valley is coated in a thick fog and everyone who doesn't have fey ancestry instantly fell asleep.
When you woke up Neverwinter was gone. In fact, everything was. The lay of the land was different. Somehow... you were teleported.
SO the title is RIse of the Drow. for now, think of it as Escape the Feywild.

Virtue is boring-i mean great! shes got a loving famliy and is just trying to do the right thing because its her duty as a paladin and an aasimar. she does have some misgivings, but she isnt deeply scared like most of my characters. Lawful good(oh! thats why shes bor-great. lawful.)
Erin, though, is interesting. Chaotic neutral variant human rogue.
Backstory:
She was groomed to be an heir her entire life. But she didn't choose her life. After a series of questionable decisions, she was disowned and thrown out. She was expected to change her mind and come home changed, but she was happy. She took freedom at its fullest and ended up in a bad spot, so she started to steal to get her way. When she was caught, they brought her in and she anticipated a heavy penalty. Instead, they offered her a job. They had use of her skills and made her an offer. She lived well with the arrangement until the town was attacked. She couldn't get a job elsewhere but decided to try her luck with adventuring. It went great and she began to care about other people and see them as friends instead of tools. Then the party died. She changed her mind about people- and trust. She's joining another party for the money, because a rogue can't adventure alone. She avoids other people because she's afraid to lose again. Deep down she also misses her family, but not the constraints of nobility, and she wouldn't admit it.
the cool bit is, they have the same backround but took such diffrent paths. i think it could lead to some good bonding and growth.

Virtue blinked in the bright sunlight and slowly sat up, glancing around at the strangers. had one of them teleported her here? everyone else(if amarise doesnt have an elf/halfelf) was still asleep. Slowly, they opened their eyes too.
"Who are you? where am I?" she said.
POV: Erin
Erin blinked and realized she didnt know where she was. she shot up nad looked at the strangers around her.
"Who are you? Where am I?" a human paladin said.
"I didnt steal nothin! you cant prove it!"

Calliope woke with a start, and launched himself to his feet, gripping his maul. For how large he was, he was very dexterous. Looking around, he realized his surroundings were very different from where they had been before. Seeing nearby humans, he bellowed in frustration. Stomping over, he stood in front of the human (Virtue) and put his hands on his hips, failing to notice the others in the grass. "Where are we?" he roared. "Put me back!"
POV: Yue
Yue woke up, but stayed laying down, keeping her breathing under control. She had no idea where she was, only that there was a very large half-orc bellowing at a human. sliding cautiously away, she did a quick check of her inventory. Everything seemed to be there. She got up silently into a crouch, and did a quick scan of her surroundings. (I don't know what kind of terrain we're in, so I'll leave that vague.)
K so my brain temporarily failed but while reasearching i remembered the shadowfell. so we are not in the fey wilde.
looking around you see to the left a desolate burned waste covered in ashes. to the right, a skeletal forest. it seems as if all the color has been leached from the world and a grey fog covers everything.

Virtue looked up at the half-orc in her face, then at the burned wasteland surrounding them. "what did you do, orc?(please pretend orc is racist, i dont know racist slang in real life let alone dnd.)" She didnt have a problem with halforcs, but in a situation like this the half orc was the one she naturally blamed.
Erin
"hold up! Does anyone actually know whats going on?" she said. the paladin turned from the orc and shook her head.

Calliope looks at the humans and sniffs with disdain. "Fools, I am a half-orc! Not an orc. And I did nothing! I fell asleep and I was here. It had to be one of you."
Yue
Yue stood up fully, appearing to materialize from the grass. Her voice was soft, but her words were sharp. "Stop arguing. The louder you guys get, the more likely we are for enemies to notice us. Look around you. Do you see where we are? (Arcana check: I rolled 19. I'm trying to determine if I know where we are. If it's a homebrew place, call it unrecognizable.) This place is a wasteland, and you're yelling like a dragon who got their treasure stolen."
Calliope
Calliope rolls his eyes at the Dragonborn. "They started it by teleporting us here."
Yue
Yue shook her head. "That one looks to be a rouge, and that one looks like a paladin. Neither of which has the energy required to teleport us here. Unless..."
Yue turns to the paladin. "Could your god, the one you serve have teleported us here?"

I write depressing stories. No, you can't read them. Yes, most are from experience. No, I don't need help. Yes, I solved most of my "problems."
"what? no! the ro- the human rogue is right. none of us have a clue. the only way we can get out of this is to work together, so lets do some introductions and work out how to get back." Virtue said.
"and punish the drow who sent us here." the human rogue added.
Erin
Erin watched these people. this could be what she needed to get the money to get her life back together and never have to interact with people again. "I'll go first. I'm Erin. I'm a rogue. I dont do people and i dont do friends. dont tell me how to live my life and i wont steal from you. dont put your moral codes on me and i wont stab you in your sleep. dont ask me personal questions. I'll work wih you if i get my cut of the profits. I'm telling you here and now I dont trust you and i dont expect you to trust me. if it comes to your life or mine, or your life or my intrests, dont expect me to pick you. thats all."
"uh... ok then. my name is Virtue, a paladin of Bahumet. I follow the oath of devotion. I'm a daughter of the Lord of Eastkeep. I... this is confidentail. if the rogues cant keep it, they can cover their ears." Erin didnt cover here ears but leaned in slightly. leverage. "I'm an aasimar." boring. but could be used for manipulation. "I'm also in the Order of the Guantlet. I hope we can be close teammates and i can trust you to have my back!" Erin felt a pointed glance but ignored it. she had been honest(for once).
dont forget we cant move on until dragondm2004 gets on.
Calliope grumbled. "I'm Calliope. No jokes, I'll break your face. I'm a fighter. That's all you puny humans, and that snake over there, need to know."
Yue
Yue showed no emotion. She had learned to do that long ago. "My name is Yue. I am a Dragonborn, not a snake. If you insult me such again, I will kill you." There was a knife, glittering in her hand. "I am, as the rouge over there can probably tell, a rouge as well. I will sacrifice myself for my friends, but right now, you aren't among them. It will take a lot for me to trust you, and as Erin so eloquently said, rouges are solitary people. Also, I don't know if you noticed, but we are in the Shadowfell. I can almost gaurantee that exp;losion had something to do with why we're here."
