Silvanesti NPCs - Villains and Antagonists

Image
Feal-Thas' classes and levels are based on his appearance in the DL6 module " Dragons of Ice ". He was listed as a 7th level Chaotic Evil Elven Fighter/Magic-User but his THAC0 was 13, so he would have had to be an 8th level Fighter. He could cast one 4th level Wizard spell so that would have made him a 7th level Wizard. His presented ability scores were: Str: 18/35, Dex: 17, Con 10, Int 13, Wis 11, Cha 8. He had Chainmail +2, a Shield +1, and a Longsword +2. He gained a +2 bonus to hit elven characters. The description of his chambers say that he had moved all of his treasure to a secret room in the library but the only things listed in the description for that area were a desk and writing table containing a scroll and a journal written in Elven. His dragon companion, Sleet, was a female Ancient Huge White Dragon. Following the AD&D to 3e Conversion Manual, his Strength becomes 19. His Intelligence was increased to 14 to ensure he still had access to 4th Level spe...

Silvanost  - Holiday Cheer (One Night in Silvanost)

Image
21 thru 30 Frostkolt 348 AC As the reality that those deemed “less than” or “other” are not even permitted to dwell within the city dawns upon the black-robed elf, a quiet fury builds within him. Ra’ziir, upon this realization, turns on a heel back in the direction from whence he came. “It seems that w e have found a true Utopia, first priest of Malazzar. How the god of progress must delight…” The Eldritch Knight’s ire seeks a home in the nearest target, not because it is warranted necessarily, more because it is accessible. “Like crumbs swept beneath a rug, they deny the existence of those they deem unworthy… and think themselves “noble . ” Ra’ziir stalks off into the night, a black-robed figure disappearing into the darkness. Elves out celebrating the holiday instinctively part, allowing him to pass unimpeded. Confused looks from the partyers follow in his wake. Mothers even pull small children out of his path, so palpable is his ire. Kysek utilizes what he has learned from Rave...

Silvanost  - Holiday Cheer (Coming of the New Year)

Image
21 thru 30 Frostkolt 348 AC As Arthur and Agnes stroll through the city, he tells her about himself as well the celebrations in Lankmar, "We have the Day of Masks where we dress up in costumes with feasts, dances, and storytelling; Vermin Day commemorates Lankhmar's victory in the War of the Rats, and  every New Moon, the people of my city leave offerings at the Black Temple to appease the Gods  IN  Lankhmar, which are not the same as the gods  OF  Lankmar." Agnes' brow furrows, "What is the difference?" "The gods  OF  Lankmar are a group of thirteen powerful undead who emerge from their temple to defend the city in times of need. The gods  IN  Lankhmar are deities who have believers living in the city," Arthur explains. He continues, "And there is always some sort of celebration in our Festival District - when my world was young, the Lords of Necessity decreed that the gods of Nehwon would be 'as numerous as the grains of sand on a beach...

Silvanost  - Holiday Cheer

Image
21 thru 30 Frostkolt 348 AC The end of year celebration takes place over the course of several days, starting on the evening of the Winter Solstice and running through the end of the calendar year. Gifts are exchanged between family and friends, music - some lively and modern, other tunes obviously traditional with roots in religious hymns, abounds. The scent of sage hangs heavily in the air as the herb to drive off negativity and open pathways for positive energy to enter. There are races in the street for children (and adults). Snow and ice carving take center stage on the third and fourth days of the celebration. Cedron observes the elves' festivities, and a spark of curiosity flickers in the human. He decides to go explore the mid winter celebration first hand. Using Akivasha's blindfold to alter his features and commanding his chain shirt to take on the appearance of the local garb, the minstrel-priest makes his way casually into the streets to immerse himself in the cit...

Quiet Before the Storm (Part Four)

Image
21 Frostkolt 348 AC Shadow mentions to Cassidy, “I hear we are going to be going on a ship for the next leg of our adventure. Have you been around ships much? Grotto is seeking instruction in seamanship from Raven. Perhaps we should go as well?” Cassidy smiles, "I have never been on a ship before! Unless you count the one I rode from Lookit to Ergoth. Those gnomes were so nice! And it only caught fire three times! I'm told it was a Highly Successful Voyage!" The kender beams up at his dark elf companion. "I can even practice with my crossbow! Ooo! Look! A squirrel!" “Please don’t shoot the squirrels. The elves will get very unhappy.”  Shadow takes Cassidy and steers him towards the riverfront. Along the way he thinks to himself 'Raven will kill me if this kender sets the boat on fire'. He tries to keep up with the small talk of boats and Underdark lakes and rivers. “The horrors of the dark waters under your feet are nothing to be trifled with.” He answ...

Quiet Before the Storm (Part Three)

Image
27 Darkember thru 19 Frostkolt 348 AC Ra’ziir spends some time reviewing maps of this world to better understand the lay of the land and sea as well as some of the more prominent points/locations of interest. What he finds are maps from before and after the Cataclysm. The entire shape of the continent is vastly different. Most of the cities are in roughly the same place, although the retreat or advance of the seas in relation to the altered coastline has submerged some and left others completely landlocked. Many towns do not appear on the newer maps, with no indication as to whether they were destroyed or were left off for the convenience of the cartographer. Still, he is assured that the maps are as accurate as was possible at the time of their production but it is fairly likely that some errors are present. Shadow will spend some time with the other two wizards looking at the maps and discussing the vulnerability and defenses of the dragonmen the party encountere in hopes of coming ...

Quiet Before the Storm (Part Two)

Image
27 Gildember thru 27 Darkember 348 AC At the Tower of High Sorcery, all three wizards study in the library, with each adding spells to their repertoire. Ra’ziir spends some time in the surrounding Forest of Wayreth, practicing with a recently acquired item to assess its abilities and limitations. Shadow will wait for an opportunity to speak with Lady Ladonna.  He will ask her to take a look at “an item I acquired many years ago from its original owner who ... died suddenly.” He presents a Black Robe of the Archmagi to her. “I was wondering what your Order may have collecting dust or riding around in a bag of holding that would be of interest to me. “Black is my natural color but I like my robes with a bit of pop to them.” Ladonna raises one eyebrow, "I am sure we can arrange a suitable exchange." “Wonderful! Let’s make a deal.” The two wizards retreat to a private chamber for a haggling session that results in Shadow trading the potent robe for a magical protective ring a...

Quiet Before the Storm (Part One)

Image
27 Gildember thru 27 Darkember 348 AC Arthur sheaths Lawbringer and picks up his winged shield. "By Malazzarr, I hope I can get this fixed," he breathes heavily and leans on his sword for a bit of support "Everyone okay?" Romulus looks at the shield. "Most of that should buff right out. We'll grab some walnut oil back in town and get you set up." Once the party returns to Silvanost, the halfling fits the newly enchanted onyx into Dickory's Clock. The other two gems, an amethyst and a tiger's eye, flash as their new companion piece is inserted. The entire bracer glows for about a minute, emitting an aura that extends perhaps a finger's width above the leather before slowly being absorbed back into the material. Once the mystical, time-manipulating bracer has been repaired, Romulus returns it to Raven. He then writes about the ritual the group performed and observations he made during the subsequent battle. While Romulus is working on his...
