Me and 11 friends have decided that we are going to do 1 last campaign. A campaign so incredibly dangerous that the odds of survival for pretty much anyone is about 0
We are in the employ of the Demilich Grunoose Necromancer 30/ Horned harbinger 10/ Cleric of velshroon 30/ Archmage 5/ Arcane Devotee 5
And we must Dethrone the king of heroes. He has reached the peak of human perfection and rules the entire world behind the scenes (just under dieties). He has a powerful posses (much like gareth but uber strong) that is made up of his sons and 1 daughter
Here they are
Bo Dragovern (Ruler of the plains) Ranger 25/ Scout 20/ Highland stalker 10/ Wild plains outrider 3/ Order of the bow initiate 10/ Master thrower 5
Dormeck Dragovern (Ruler of the mountains & tundra) Barbarian 27/ Fighter 20/ Weapon master 10/ Bear warrior 10/ Frenzied berserker 10
The Tree Gaurdain (Ruler of the forest) Driud 30/ Beastmaster 10/ Nature's warrior 10/ wolflord 10/ Master of many forms 10/ Forest master 10
The Magister (Ruler of the heartlands and Master of the Great tower) Sorecerer 30/ Envocker 30/ Arcane devotee 5/ Archmage5/ Stormlord 10
Shandra Dragonvern (Ruler of the shadowlands) Rogue 30/ Ninja 20/ Ghost faced killer 10/ Assassin 20/ Shadowdancer 10
and finally
Lord Taggeth Dragovern (Ruler of rulers) Paladin 30/ Cleric of Kelevmor 20/ Doom guide 10/ Hunter of the dead 10/ Kensai 10/ knight of the Chalice 10/ Shadowbane Inquisitor 10
Besides the dragoverns we have to worry about The finder Divanator 30/ Justiscar 10/ Windwalker 10/ Bloodhound 10/ Fighter 10
who will rat us out to the dragovern agents at the drop of a silver
Well go ahead and drool now

crap, what level do your heroes have, they must already have achieved legendary status
no, they must be a myth in the forgotten realms, so powerful that there are common expression with their names in
Mod edit: Watch the language, please. |
That is not the weirdest thing that happened to me |

They are the reason nobody in the realms is about cl 40 because when someone reaches to high of a level they snuff them out.
We where silently wacthed ove by Demilich grunoose right under the noses of the Dragovern
It is a world wide conspiracy. that is the realms relevence i guess.
Also if anybody waqnts in on the casmpaign say so |

Due to scheduling constraints and personal taste, I must respectfully decline the invitiation to your campaign. I'm certain that you're going to have a grand time, though, and wish you well.
In reference to realms relevence, I believe that what Wooly is referring to is a topic concerning the wider Realms that we all enjoy and hopefully can engender scholarly discussion on the merits of that topic by the sages here.
I'm afraid that while this campaign excites you mightilly, that any discussion that occurs on this thread will revolve around the obscene levels involved and not its impact upon the Forgotten Realms themselves. I cite your previous thread as evidence for my concerns.
Perhaps you have a question that concerns the Realms canon that someone here can answer? Otherwise, I wish you well and sincerely hope that you are successful in your adventure. |

Who? And velshoon is a god to Grunoose because of what he represents
i suppose that if he wanted to he could pretty easily despose of him in 1 on 1 combat |

Alright everyone, lets not start this over again.
First off, even if you do not agree with the particular style of play that a given scribe might like, let us all make sure that we are treating all of our fellow scribes with respect. It is unbecomming to jump on a scribe because you simply disagree with their play style, or to jump onto what another poster has said that is critical of them. This doesn't mean that you can't point out why you don't like their style of play, nor does it mean that you can't explain that you fail to see the relevance of a given topic, but please, let's take some time and make sure our comments are civil, respectful, and not condescending in nature.
Now, for the other side of the sword. As Wooly has said, I'm not sure that just because a few Realms-based names are used that this is a particularly "general Forgotten Realms" topic, given that the premise of the campaign seems to be that much of what is assumed to be true of the Realms is not. At the very least, it might be of more general interest to see more specifically HOW the given entities that are "pulling the strings" are related to Realms personalities that are well known, and how those well known Realms personalities could possibly be duped into not knowing they are indeed pawns.

Iolam and Larloch are very powerful extant Netherese Wizards.
Perhaps, in concordance with Arkhaedun's suggestion, you would care to extrapolate on this theoretical conspiracy, its origins, its machinations, and its goals. |

"Go ahead and drool?" Over what? Are you basically saying that you posted all these characters to try to impress us? If that's the case, your plan doesn't seem to be working.
And I failed to see what all this has to do with the FR setting in general. Don't personal campaigns belong in the Adventuring section? |

Demilich Grunoose, is that even an NPC of the realms?
Who are the Dragovern?
Where is taggeth's empire?
I've never heard of any of the NPCs mentioned in the thread.
Are you running this game? It's interesting that you're GM is running the game by committee. Sounds like there will be little surprise to the game.

| Also, it seems to me that this "King of Heroes" is really more like the King of Powerhungry Opportunists. It's also odd that he's a paladin, but doesn't have any qualms about working with his assassin daughter (and before a debate starts up here--I'm going by the rule that says those who take the Assassin PrC have to be evil)? |

I must admit that you got me a bit curious. Not my type of campaign, but I want to hear more. The Dragovern each rule one region, how do they rule and who are their servants? This would dramatically change the Realms as most of us know them, how are the traditional power groups and rulers faring under this system, as flunkies, unknowing participants or have you removed them from the campaign?
I would also like to know how you plan the adventure to play out? |

*snore*
Jorkens, as to how the adventure will play out...my guess it will be a slugfest like those in the superhero comic books where parts of one city or another get obliterated.
Kane, people like you and your friends are the reason others look down at roleplayers, seeing them as desperate nobodies who do not have a life and live out what they are incapable of doing in the real world...
But, to keep this post Realms relevant, where did this demilich come from? Is he from Netheril and escaped from the phaerimm onslaught and survived Mystryl's sacrifice to save the Weave?
Did those heroes of yours ride with Azoun during the crusade? If so, why did he even bother going?
Why hasn't Ao elevated these characters to godhood? They might have had to share the Deity of Megalomania job with Cyric, but oh well...
As to the drooling, is head-shaking ok?
As I said before in your locked down thread...this is worse than powergaming...maybe you should consider selling those characters on ebay, if it works for Everquest and other characters in the online gaming community, why not for D&D? |
Mace's not so gentle gamer's journal My rants were harmless compared to this, beware! |

Mace,
Not that I don't agree with your sentiments, but your post is a bit more pejorative than is typically tolerated in these forums. There have allready been multiple warnings on this thread. |
