The story starts in a dark place called The Pits of Shonoth. This is deep below the continent of Esoseth. You are either a drow or a prisoner of the drow. As a drow you feel like there is more to life then being stuck in Shonoth fighting each other for power. As a prisoner you dream of getting back to the top world and can smell the fresh air as you have been a prisoner for decades to the drow and their perverse ways. You find a group of comrades who feel the same as you and attempt to make your way out of Shonoth to see what the world of Esoseth and the land of the sun have to offer you. Shonoth is a dangerous place full of monsters that the Drow have been hunting to keep away from their town of Shinithe. To make your way out you will have to use your skills and intuition as you fight your way to the top. If you make it out alive, adventure will await you and your group as you look to make a living and survive the harsh weather the upper world has to offer.
You currently work/serve King Drezyemer Itich. However, there are rumors that one of the other three high families are planning a takeover soon as no one in the Drow world came to power by gift. In fact, King Itich came to power by taking it from another. The three families are the Hu'nseks the Do'afin, and the Naerth. There is one family who does not serve the deity of Zinzerena and they are the ones looking to take over. The rumor is Lolth is trying to take over what she feels is hers and that is the Drow. What will you do? Will you help prevent a war to try and gain freedom? Or will you gather your friends and fight your way to the surface?
I am looking for 4-6 people for a PBP. Must be willing to RP and looking to play twice a week during the day. Around 12-3 EST.... We can discuss Days. If you are interested send me a private message with your character info, back story and why you fit in this group. We will start at level 3! Looking to start in the next couple weeks, if I dont respond right away be patient I will get to you!
I am very interested in this story line and would be available via pbp during those times most week days. I’ve got a couple of ideas for characters that could work: a human rogue/monk, a drow wizard, or an owlin bard.
A young Satyr who wandered from her Feywild home in to satiate her curiosity about the world. Instead, almost immediately she was beset upon by a raiding Drow party and enslaved to the Pits. Enthralled by her natural revelry, she was sent to become a dancer to entertain the high nobles of Shonoth. Under the tutelage of other dancers and entertainment slaves, she picked up the Bladesinging tradition. With news of possible political turmoil and shakeup of the status quo, Tarah finds that now is the best opportunity to dance away to her freedom.
Hi, I'm interested in your campaign. I'd prefer if we play on weekends. Also, since my character is a ranger I would like to talk about Favored Enemy and Natural Explorer (took the liberty of filling it up the way I thought it would be, but still I'd like to talk about them).
Frekor Summers (25yo) - Variant human, Ranger Hunter, Chaotic Neutral. (link for the character in my description).
Stat Block (Point Buy):
STR - 12
DEX - 13
CON - 12
INT - 12
WIS - 13
CHA - 12
Frekor Summers was born from two young brave warriors, a Paladin woman and a Cleric man that lived near the forest outside the city. Frekor was trained by them since his youth as he always aspired to be like them. Unfortunately, one night a band of the drow killed his parents and made him a slave. He kept training and became one of the best hunter slave of the drow. Now, at 25 years old, he started hearing about a posible coup and so he will do whatever it takes to get some of his freedom back.
There are rumors of monsters crawling in the tunnel depths of Shonoth. This is a potential threat for the people of Shinithe. The King is sending a search party of 5 or 6 slaves and warriors to hunt down these creatures to protect the people. He hears the rumors of a potential coop and will not send out his best warriors. Although he is considering sending a spy to follow the group of slaves through the tunnels as he can't afford to lose anyone at this point. Bahh we will see what happens. He gathers a rag tag group "you all" to send you into the tunnels. {This is where we will start tomorrow}
"I am Naddrin, I still cannot believe the King gave me this crappy assignment. Anyways you six are here to clean out the tunnels from whatever may lurk below. Run I kill you, your only option is to clean it out or die trying. Any questions? Well keep them to yourself as I am not here to answer them!" Before you, you see a very tall pale Drow male. He is very intimidating and does not put up with bull crap as you can tell by the way he talks. You are standing on the outskirts of the city and before you is a long dark tunnel!

Just to clarify, this is a play-by-post campaign, but you want people to only post twice a week? Or is this a live discord type of game?
It's pbp in this forum so it will be twice a week posting.
