The Kingdom and the Horn

Prologue...

Behold! Behold The Kingdom of Tantarie. See its colors: blues, greens, yellows. Know that the kingdom is vast, well as far as such human kingdoms can be. See it prosper. See is people happy and content. Know that its allies revel in an equal prosperity. Know that this great kingdom is a paragon for human civilization. Know that The Kingdom of Tantarie attracts jealousy.

Behold Tantarie! Watch as it burns. See its colors: reds, oranges, yellows, black. Know that the warlord Quistix Gorgonson watches the fires and is content. His armies plunder, rape, raze. Tantarie suffers. Watch as the young King Kaladon III and heroes from The Alliance ride against Gorgonson. Witness! Witness the grand battle. Witness the mighty Gorgonson turn his enemies to stone with but a breath. Watch the mighty fall. Hear Gorgonson's dying words:

As my life's blood seeps into the thrice damned land let it absorb my curse, let it freeze solid and forever be cast in stone. Let my curse herald my rebirth. Let the stone kingdom be my bornday gift!

Watch King Kaladon claim the warlords head. Watch the peoples of Tantarie rejoice!

Behold The Kingdom of Tantarie! It is 50 years after the Fall of Gorgonson. See the kingdom prosper once more. See its colors: blues, greens, yellows... grays. The kingdom weeps. The gray spreads. The people are turned to stone. The trees, the birds, all stone. Tantarie is dying. Many fear that it is The Curse of Gorgonson. They are right. The land is being consumed by a plague of petrification. Many fear that this is just the beginning.

The players of this adventure will assume the roles of the New Heroes of the Alliance sent on a quest to attain The Horn of Asclepius, a tool believed to be able to break the curse. As this is a One Shot and WE are notorious for wasting time creating characters I'll be pre-rolling the heroes. Something different, right?

They will be pre-equipped and we will have a few minutes of introduction before we jump right into the adventure. The party will entail:

1 knight
2 fighter
1 ranger
1 cleric
1 wizard
1 rogue

optional cast:

1 barbarian
1 monk
1 bard

I would like to know what roles you guys would like to play. I would also like to know what magic, monsters, and other miscellaneos things will make you guys happy. Let me know by Wednesday if possible.

Game on Saturday @ 12pm

Judging by the list its 3.5 or 4.0. I'd like to be part of the cast and be a bard for old times sake.

Of course wizard jumps out at me but imma try something different.....cleric. well i guess if im not a mage im usually a healer so let me think maybe Knight, never been a Knight before. So if nobody wants to be a cleric then i'll be the cleric else i'll be the Knight(as well as becoming the leader. )

As for monster, anything but dragons. Dwarfs or Duegar would be sick. And a stone of regeneration would be nice!!!

you better delete that comment Chap before Lem takes it as disrespect lol. Im sure its C&C.

C&C, boys, C&C. Not a fan of 3.5 characters but I will be using 3.5 monsters and treasure! 4.0 is an idea I didn't think of... I need to contemplate.

So we have Khourie as The Knight or Cleric. Any other takers?

This looks interesting. At first I thought we were playing in a civil war, but after reading I realized we are in dark times.


My Preffered Class would be either of the two. Now I leave two options cause if someone else might want to be one (See the religious theme?).


1 cleric
1 monk

Either option will start out basically te same. A humble practitioner in a small village. No one special, humble, and submissive to the ways of the land. Lord is god and no authority or entity have higher moral judgement then he who I worshop.

My thought are that if we are the NEW heroes of the land, that means we were hand picked for this task. Why were we chosen?

The cleric -

Was from the village of Bristledown. A small comunity of 200 happy and devought people. My priest will be one of two priests in the town.

One day the lord called to me and bestowed his mighty gifts upon my being after completing a series of tests of faith (In short He was a priest and then became a Cleric, the right hands of the lord, the voice of god).

Magic a very rare in the fringes of cutlure and civilization, so this gift was a mighty gift (meaning it made the news). Figure the Kings advisors said that the posative PR can always be good and asked me to serve in the kings cause.


The Monk-

Was a devought man of faith who lived a dark life in the past. Consumption, whoring and verbal anger we common with this man. Upon seeking help he found god through Brother Genitive. Soon the doors of the monistary were opened to him. Years of sercive eased the soul and search fo light drove him to help better the world.

The Kings advisors heard of this special brother and all the selfless good that he was spreading on the world and guess what was recruited in the kings army to help save the world.

-Role-
Both characters would be the moral concience of the party to help encourage them in their darkest times.

Depending on which class is chosen I will provide more info. Not too sure If I want the support tank or the healer

---

-Thoughts-
magic, monsters, and other miscellaneos things

Maybe we can follow a theme of monsters. Meaning the beasties are known in most cases and others are legends. Obviously there are lways suprises, but the selections are limited to ...ehh 20 or something. Think this might be cool if we already know most of the threats available (It could help roleplaying).


The Misc. this is too broad of a thought. I need to think about it.

My second choice would only be a knight then.

Looks like we have our starters:

Khourie- Knight
Chad- Cleric

Obviously I'm going with the first come first serve method. The optional classes are characters that will augment the party once all of the other roles are filled.

@Areowyn- I think you should try being a Fighter for once. It would be different for you. That aside, Wizard and Thief are right up your alley.

Wow it has sure been a long time since i posted...

Well i have to say that i would choose either a bard or Ranger.

Well my main would probably be a bard(i like the class and i always wanted to finish roleplaying as one), then ranger(support).

For me(bard)- i was traveling and i came across a rumor that there was some knowledge(forbidden) that can make a person(s) very powerful....

Ranger- I had family in the Kingdom of Tantarie. I was out hunting, gathering furs for the upcoming winter and making sales in tulisan (2 weeks south of tantarie) when i returned...

As for monsters- i want zombies(not world war z) i miss them and i think they could be super awsome, anything but dragons.

As for magic, i would like to see utility items, Like rod of levitate (with minimum charges equal to players playing, or charges a day)

misc-maybe some unique abilities for each class that would be cool

Um i dont know ill post a little later....

As I've posted I'll be pre-rolling these characters however I'll take your preferred backgrounds into consideration.

Our cast thus far:

Pat- Ranger
Khourie- Knight
Chad- Cleric

i might make a guest appearence for this...

You are definitely invited

ARGH! I'm torn between fighter and wizard...I think I'll let the DM pick for me

On second thought, I'll go with fighter. I just remembered something from one of our games..."It's me, Arrrrrrrrmando." *Stabbed in the face and left outside with the hoard of Zombies*

I'll probably be there later than 12 (more like 4 the earliest), but I could be the wizard.

Sorry guys, I forgot that Mother's Day is this weekend and that coupled with a pre-Release at Kings Games I'm going to postpone the Game until next Saturday. On the plus side it will give me tie to post info on the characters once we have the team established. The cast such far:

Pat- Ranger
Khourie- Knight
Jose- Fighter number 1
Chad- Cleric

Lloyd will most likely be a fighter. That leaves Rogue and Wizard. Random said he'd play and so that might be the main cast of characters, right there.

@Legendary- "It's ME Arrrrrmondo!!!"

Ill take fighter then. It would be fun to try something "different" with the class. I look forward to my saturdays then

Ill be a mage then, don't really like the rogues in c and c, I don't know if I work or not next week so ill let ya know if I can't make it or not. And what time are we surpose to meet up at

Lookee here its the old gang back together again.

This could be a fun Saturday the 14th. The day after Friday the 13th.

I will be the rogue, never been the rogue before, so its something new.

Crap, have to call my mother again. I just talked to her said I'd be home this weekend...have to let her know it'll be next weekend...guess it's a good thing, this way I can pick up something in the mail that might not be there this weekend...

You said you're going to pre-roll the classes and they're going to have gear already. Are you also going to pick the races or is everyone the same race or what? It's nice to know what race I'm going to be so I can come up with some kind of attitude for him/her...

O, one more post...I love the new pic Pat...looks awesome...what's with the name though? Frost DK?

What a ridiculous name...

I guess I'm chopped liver... no one saw I posted about being the wizard That's okay.... ::sniff:: I'll probably just roll up the usual druid...

Just kidding! But next Saturday will be great (as long as I don't have to work, which may be the case). I should be able to get there at any time. I'll take what's left over.
