Seeking 5th level adventurers for "The Lonely Tower"; an elite team prepares a perfect heist, but can they reveal the secrets before time runs out?
This adventure is part of a connected series of adventures that I have been running on this site for some time. I am looking primarily for players who want to delve into the adventure and story. If you are a player that prefers to stay passive until combat starts, this may not be the adventure for you; you will need to be active in planning and discussion for the party to succeed.
If you are interested after reading the details below, please see the section on how to apply. At the start of the adventure, you will be hired by a rock gnome named Fumbles McNilbog and given intel on a heist mission.
Standard Array, Point Buy, and “Roll 4d6 Drop Lowest” are all acceptable methods for stats, but if you are using rolls, those rolls must be made here or in a PM, and there are no rerolls allowed. Rolling is a gamble, if you don't want to chance lower-than-average scores, take the Standard Array or use Point Buy.
How To Apply:
- Reply to this thread or send me a PM with the 1) race/class you would like to play, 2) a short background summary, and 3) your method of determining ability scores (include rolls if rolling and remember there are no rerolls allowed.
- If you are selected, your hit dice will be rolled to determine your hit points at 5th level (see house rule below), and you will get some extra starting gold to outfit your 5th level character.
About The Campaign:
- This adventure combines exploration, stealth, combat and some chances for roleplaying social encounters for a balanced experience.
- This is a 4 hour in-person adventure, but is part of a large overarching campaign, so you don't have to be in it for the long haul, but can be if you enjoy it.
About The DM & House Rules:
- I DM for three groups and run four PbP adventures on this site, and very much enjoy how PbP campaigns allow groups of people to come together and create an awesome story.
- I advance when either all players have posted or after 24 hours have passed from my last post, unless a player posts an action that calls for immediate resolving. With your response, please send me a PM that includes the phrase “Staff of the Magi” so I know I will have players with attention to detail.
- Most of my PbP campaigns are Theater of the Mind. I also roll initiative in groups so that rounds of combat can progress as quickly as possible.
- I use all rolls and no averages. Enemy/NPC health is rolled, all damage is rolled, and character HP gains will be rolled when they level up. This brings variance to the game and keeps things from getting predictable.
- Your character can die. I don't fudge rolls and reckless actions have consequences.
2) An orphan who pickpocketed the wrong mark finds herself taken by an eccentric wizard who collects tomes of often arcane and forgotten lore. Raised and taught by the wizard and his many agents, the orphan soon becomes a capable agent herself, taskes with acquiring powerful, and often dangerous, tomes and artifacts through any means necessary.
