Campaign Chronicles

While visiting the Tower of High Sorcery in Wayreth Forest, Romulus crafted a new set of throwing stars to replace the ones he lost when he was killed in the Jungle of Klesh on Nehwon. His original set had been made at the College of Magic in Silverymoon. They leave a trail of silver sparks when thrown. +5 Silver Small Shocking Burst Keen Returning Shuriken - set of three Damage: 1+5 plus 1d6 electrical plus 1d10 electrical on a critical hit (may throw up to 3 at once, shuriken do not gain a bonus to damage from high strength) Critcal on 19-20, Range Increm: 10'

This scene takes place in the Elephant Tower in the City of Shadizar on the world of Hyboria.  To say that it strays from the canon tale written by Howard would be an understatement but I had recently learned about the Half-Elemental template and wanted to introduce it to the group so I made some changes. Ra’ziir enters the room. He rests the tip of his fiery sword upon the polished ivory floor and watches the suffering of the beast. The bladesinger’s brow furrows as he tries to recall his studies at the Guild of the Lion’s training hall in Evereska. Despite his training, the elf is unable to recall any outsider that precisely matches the appearance of this pitiful wreck of a creature. Its body resembles that of a Marut, an Inevitable from the Plane of Mechanus – a powerful being who seeks to collect the souls of those who try to cheat death but its head looks like it belongs on a Loxo, a race of pachyderm-headed minotaurs who live in the southern reaches of Faerûn.

Grotto Grimmbeard: Grimm Dwarf Cleric of Hanseath/Fighter - a dwarf from the Grimmlands.  He was taken prisoner by goblins and tortured for their amusement.  The entire side of his face is scarred and burned.  Knives: Human (Zamoran) male Thief/A...

When I went to write This Post , I was surprised to discover that Raven has basically Zero Ranks in Climb. None. Zilch. Nada. He's the highest level character in the party and can't climb any better than Farmer Fred or Joe Commoner.  Even worse, he doesn't have any magical items that confer Flight, Levitation, or Climbing ability. Someone is definitely going to have to spend some points in areas that have been neglected over the years.
