After braving a town-shaking earthquake and a fondue tsunami, you all must leap into action to save the denizens of the sleepy alpine hamlet of Velnoya from an ancient, buried evil...
Are you here for the annual spire climb attempts? Interested in The Esoteric Society? Here on holiday?
This is a short, one-shot type adventure! This would be a great chance to try out a character you've been holding back maybe and give them a quick spin! Expect all 3 pillars of D&D to be present, with a special emphasis on traps and puzzles! If that sounds like fun to you read on!
Need to know:
- Characters at level 5
- 1 rare magical item allowed, or 2 uncommon
- Standard array or point buy for stats
- Use any reasonably rolled starting gold
- Milestone leveling is fine (no xp will be awarded)
- All races/classes allowed (feel free to check if you really want something wacky)
I would like this to roll pretty quickly, being able to post at least once a day and we should be able to finish relatively quickly.
Please post with all relevant information: Name, class (no multiclassing), etc. No long winded backgrounds please. :)
I will check on this and talk to applicants ASAP. Thank you in advance!
Backstory: After serving his patron faithfully for decades as a spy on the material plane Etrigan has come to sleepy alpine hamlet of Velnoya for a well-deserved vacation, looking forward to the sights, the skiing and particularly the after ski fraternizing. Little does he know what fate has in store for his vacation.
Backstory: Seeking a new way to test herself, Athyra has decided to take on the Spire Contest. She is exited to see what this years event will be like.
Character sheet: ddb.ac/characters/79649461/hPA2X8
Background: Obirith came to the town in order to learn more about the source of his magic, hoping that the members of the Esoteric Society could be of help.
Backstory: Breyra grew up in Velnoya, part of the large underclass of servants to the poncy Society folk and the wealthy tourists. Now she runs a small equipment shop catering to those skiers and climbers that suddenly find themselves in need of last-minute gear -- at a healthy markup.
Backstory: Rohesia grew up in a moderately sized town. For various reasons, her parents left their nomadic life to take up a more civilized life before she was born. With no brothers, her father insisted she learned the traditions of his former life. So she became a proficient fighter, wrestler, and athlete. Her upbringing made her familiar with the ins and outs of urban life as well as older primal ways of fighting. She has continued with the ways of fighting she leaned from a young age, still preferring to fight with no weapon and no armor to encumber her. She had come to Velnoya for the challenge of the spire climb, something she had always wanted to give a try.
Backstory: Trained in a monastery and charged with protecting the surrounding village, Daj spent many years happily fulfilling this duty until he had a dream of his deity who showed him an unknown valley. The place gave him an overwhelming sense of peace. Now he searches for it, so he can feel that peace once again. On this journey, he simply found himself in Velnoya looking for a place to stay the night.
Magic Item: Cloak of Elvenkind and Eyes of the Eagle Backstory: Former Captain Teepa at your service. Finished with his boring military career (he may or may not have some tramua) so he left to keep a challenge with a chipper attitude and a deadly bow.
