So the
current adventure I am DM’ing is my own world with a lot of the Eberron
flavor. This is mostly because I like
the feel of the campaign setting, but none of the desire to adhere to the exact
elements of the world as designed by Wizards, you know rules lawyers and such. So I have the flying airships and the
levitating trains, but none of those cockamamie guilds in control of them,
mostly because they are in the service of the military. On that note it is poignant to mention that I
have borrowed the whole “good” races vs. “evil” races theme from beloved
fantasies such as World of Warcraft and Tolkien’s Middle-earth. I took the main continent and split in down
the middle with a mountain range and then put Good on one side and Evil on the
other.
Anyways that is more than enough background for the
world. The main campaign revolves around
the characters aiding a guild of benevolent magic users and adventurers in
stopping the forces of evil, not the “evil” races, from stealing the cores of
elemental power from the prime material plane.
So they succeeded in rescuing the Core of Air from the northern temple
as it was being corrupted by an undead army led by their evil cleric
overlord. It was then that they found
out the plot to obtain these cores is far more vast than they originally
thought, but isn’t it always. Needless
to say they discovered that there are agents of chaos also searching to acquire
these cores, and by chaos I mean some H.P. Lovecraft chaos. So now they are headed to the Fire Temple in
order to stop the minions of some ancient un-named Monster deity from being brought
into their realm…umm maybe they don’t know that much. But as all PC’s know they ultimately
adventure because if they don’t bad stuff happens in my make believe
world…muwahahaha! So after being
teleported straight from the first adventure into the burning ruins of the
observation camp they were start off to the Fire Temple we took a long break
mainly due to scheduling conflicts and me having to go to Marine Officer
Candidate School. Summer done and school
back in session meant game on. We pick up
with that encounter. I promise you it
was not up to the level I expected from the creature I chose. For the next post the …Gibbering Mouther.
