Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale

B: Jason Bulmahn

Nestled between lofty peaks of the Mindspin Mountains, the Bloodsworn Vale has been

forgotten by civilization for decades. Once a well-worn path connecting the heartland of

the empire with its more remote colonies, it now exists as an unclaimed and unspoiled

woodland. The years have erased the road and various monsters, once held in check

by the Empire’s soldiers, have all but over- run the valley. Today, the vale is a dangerous

place, thick with tenacious plants, cruel monsters, and hungry predators.

Four months ago, King Arabasti, the aging lord of Korvosa, decided to reclaim

the vale for his crown, planning to tame it and reopen the important trade route

with the south. He charged Sir Tolgrith, one of his more trusted vassals, with this

task. Soon aft erward, the loyal knight and his band of hearty soldiers set off into the

vale, reopening the northern mountain pass and establishing Fort Thorn in the

heart of the valley. Over the past three months, Sir Tolgrith

and his men have worked hard to reopen the old trade route. While they met with

some success, the magnitude of the challenges that lie in their path have put them

behind schedule. Monsters constantly attack workers and caravans bound for the

fort, the water supply fouls once per month, and the ever-present rose bushes make sur-

veying and exploring the region painfully slow. In hopes of putting progress back on

track, Sir Tolgrith sent out a call for adventurers, promising gold, land, and titles to

those willing to help solve his problems.

I'll keep an eye on this. I'm in a few games though, so if there are other interested parties, they should certainly have priority over me.

[Dilvish the Deliverer]

Same for me.  Starting at 6th level does make this tempting though.

[NightyKnight]

OK

 

For dice roll

5d6 drop lowest two

[Cranky Dog]

I'm in! I'm only playing in two PbP games (RotRL, Iron Gods) here and they're pretty quiet, so I have plenty of time for a one shot adventure.

 

The only thing I know about this module is that it's classified as a wilderness adventure with nasty fey.

Haven't rolled yet, but I recall that this can give some unusually powerful characters. (Not that there's anything wrong with that ).

 

EDIT: Quick link to my character sheet on page 10.

Also, how do we handle initial character gear? We're pretty much at "every one has +1 items" level.

[NightyKnight]

I'll give everyone 1 +1 magic weapon of their choice and +1 armour and 1 wonderous item, I can veto the wonderous item. Also five potions.

Hmm, I'm interested. Rather Pathfinder clueless though. There is an online SRD, I believe? So I could make a character I'm sure. Viable may be a different matter though...

There is!

The choices can feel a bit overwhelming if you use *all* of available resources.

 

I everyone agrees, I can run a character's numbers through my copy of Hero Lab for an audit. People have a tendency to underestimate their CMB/CMD bonuses.

[NightyKnight]

I can also run a character through hero lab for you arkady, I'm rather component at it.

[Arkady]

Oh, and I should warn you I'm jinxed. Forum RPs I touch have a habit of falling by the wayside due to inactivity. And normally, I don't even play a mad gnomish bard that might be to blame for driving people nuts...

[NightyKnight]

That's OK I'm fine with that.

So are you saying the position of mad gnomish bard is open?

 

Interesting.

[NightyKnight]

I prefer the mad gnomish alchemist but bard could be interesting.

DM hint (knowledge nature might be useful)

Edited November 30, 2015 by NightyKnight

[Arkady]

I do not play mad gnomish bards unless the "Gnomish Space Marines" anthem seems applicable, or at least somehow shoehorn-in-able. (And yes, it's official, Dragon magazine #192 and all. April fools official, but official!)

 

Hmm, I was about to say I like the look of Magus, but I guess it's really just another strength-based spellcaster-fighter class. More pondering.
