The Town belongs to the Grebble Meat Packing Company. As do the people who live there. The town is secluded and shrouded in secrets. It is places like these that made the gods leave us once and for all. But hey, at least the food's cheap.
Whether you lived here or arrived by train, you are in for a bad time. After the Pig Festival, people start turning up sick. No one knows why or how, but people are getting infected. Pray all you want, there is no divine intervention. It's time to take things into your own hands.
Welcome to the recruitment thread for my birthday campaign! I decided, since my birthday is coming up, I could probably make a pbp and at least someone would join it! I have some requirements and notices before you can join, so I should probably get to them now.
Players Characters have one ally living in the town. It could be a family member, a coworker, or whatever, but you need to have one.
No clerics. Celestial warlocks are okay, as are Divine Soul sorcerers and paladins, but there are no gods. Lesser celestials still exist, so you can draw power from those.
Immunity to disease does not affect the plague.
You all start at level 3
You can only have up to 2 minions at once. This includes familiars, undead minons, beast companions, steel defenders, summoned creatures, and basically anything that follows your commands blindly. Retainers do not count, as they can leave when they want to.
Please roll stats in this thread.
Please let me review any homebrew you wish to use.
If you wish to drop out, please tell me when you have time so that I can find a replacement player.
I am unruly in the stands (I am a rock on top of the sand) I am a fist amidst the hands And I make a wreck out of my hand (I make a fist and not a plan) And I break it just because I can

Auburn has lived in the town all of her life, she really hates it, but never left because she feels it's wrong to leave the unfortunate here. She's always tried to help out the poor, giving anything she can to help them out. More recently she's started to take from those in higher positions in the town, and started fencing the stolen items for money to give to the poor and other unfortunate, she's good friends with her fence, an elf named Garrik. She does keep a fraction of the proceeds, but that is so that she may continue living comfortably (nobody's perfect, especially her) and maintain her gear. Auburn herself lives a modest life, she has all the necessities and a bit more, but doesn't live too nice, as she doesn't want to draw attention to herself, but wants to live a nice life, not counting her second life of crime. She mostly uses daggers and bows, as they're quiet and shortbows, they're quiet, concealable and stealthy
Ally: Garrik, her fence who buys and sells the stolen items
(I may later multiclass into ranger for some spell slots)
Well... not absolutely awful. The character I have in mind Zania Stonebreaker, a Goliath Barbarian (Path of the Zealot) who has dedicated her life to hunting down 'witches' after a close call with a hag when she was a child.
Ally: An old, retired monster hunter named Aldric Fletcher. He was the one who saved the young Zania from the hag and has been her mentor since then.
I can already tell it's gonna be hard to pick players for this... two in and I'm already conflicted, and there are five slots!

Name: Durbin Class: Druid Race: Twas once was of human birth, but now is reborn Background: He was the son of a human noble, who got on the wrong side of history. He had been known by a different name; Lord Cedric Thornwood, once the heir to the noble house of Thornwood, experienced a profound transformation that changed the course of his life. Born into a family of wealth and influence, Cedric was expected to follow the traditional path of nobility – politics, diplomacy, and the responsibilities that came with the Thornwood name. However, destiny had other plans for him. During a diplomatic mission to a distant forested realm, he and his valet encountered a secluded druidic enclave. The druids recognized a latent connection to the natural world within Cedric and saw potential for him to serve a greater purpose form them, beyond the confines of nobility. A powerful druid named Eldara took Cedric by force and , unlocking his dormant druidic magic within him, through a mystical ritual. Although the ritual ends the person's normal life, Cedric's essence was reborn, merging with the ancient spirits of the forest. This transformation imbued him with a deep connection to nature and the ability to manipulate its forces.
He has since left the enclave and is in search for his past life he has just started to realize exists.
Delun Nudrat was an unusual child who avoided socializing and read books whenever possible. Eventually, his adoptive father, who raised him as an abandoned baby, sent him out of town when it was discovered that Delun had a talent for magic. The adoptive father saved enough to pay for his tuition to join the Mages of High Sorcery, an organization of spellcasters that studies magic and prevents its misuse. Years later, having done enough studying for a while, Delun felt homesick and returned to the town where he lived during his childhood. He wants to meet his adoptive father and tell him all the things he learned while he was out of town.
