Hoard Of The Dragon Queen


Background
In Faerun, the Cult of Dragon has been active for centuries. Focusing on making undead dragons to fulfill a prophecy, but all of that is about to change. A new leader of the Cult believes that real draconic knowledge and power belongs to the living not the undead. This granted him something special.


What I am looking for is a small group of adventures to help stop the Cult of Dragons from completeing their mission. The adventurers will start at level one. This is a 5th edition campaign. Post interest here and PM me the character sheets.

She decided to try and do some good to make amends for her sins.

Ixy

I'm still looking for one more system game that stays active.  I'm interested-- I'm only moderately familiar with Forgotten Realms, mostly from Neverwinter Nights, and it's been a while, but I would like to find a game with the right balance of adventure, sexiness, and action.  I would appreciate being able to apply, and will pm a sheet.

eternaldarkness

I'm always down for some 5E. I'll send a sheet if you're still looking.

Mysterica

I too am quite interested.  I've been wanting a chance to try out 5e

Florence

I'm interested. Been craving some 5e for a while!

I might roll a female dwarf fighter or rogue.

Lynnie

*falls over* Wow I wasn't expecting this much interest! I will look over the character sheets. Muse you can do point buy or just use the dice bot and roll 3 6 sided dice >.>;

My goal is to run the story but have time for the player's characters develop and have relations :) There will be inns and taverns for npc interactions. I may move this to 6 players.

I'm personally more fond of point buy for online games.

And on that note, I'm working on my character. So far, my idea is that she's a Dwarven soldier, and a fighter. Lawful good, which is a switch for me, since I usually play Chaotic good, but... ya know, she's not a Paladin, so she's not going to be the group babysitter, like "No, no, no, you can't do that!" Though, obviously, she will raise SOME objection to more chaotic actions. Still, she can be reasoned with :P

Lynnie

Interesting :) If everyone wants I can give you all 6 numbers from the dms book to use as your stats so everyone would have the same.

eternaldarkness

That'd work, but it's really easier to just set a point buy number. Especially since we're starting at apprentice levels, uneven ability scores will be a big deal - if they're high, everyone else looks like a schlub. If they're low, you struggle to survive to level 2, and have no class abilities or magic items to close the gap.

Level 1 is painful as is. Don't give anyone an additional handicap.

Lynnie

Then point buy it is :) 27 points :D

I am so excited to be doing this. Also side note, this is my first time doing D&D 5e n a forum, so I am going to do my best but if I screw up please forgive me?

Nobody is going to bite your head off if you make a mistake :) The players so far are generally cool people, a few of whom I know are great players and nice people too.

Lynnie

Yay ^^ I am just wanting to make sure everyone has fun and gets to play

Mysterica

I can't wait to get home from work so I can start playing around with making a character.

Revelation

For characters i'm thinking, i'll probably play a human but a few ideas...

Archer fighter - Thinking maybe someone who was trained to be a hunter, but instead of living a more rugged woods life, found his skill in archery better suited to a more mercenary life style - though it also ties in to an innate wanderlust.

Dragon blooded sorcerer: Playing one in a game about dragons is cliche, I know! Sorry, but I do like the idea of a dragon blooded sorcerer seeking out more of his heritage by initially investigating the cult.

Cleric: Can't go wrong with a cleric, right? Not sure on the god just yet, but definitely thinking someone who would want to be a champion for the meek and a flame guiding the way in darkness.

Ixy

Let's just take it easy and submit our characters to let the GM make her choices-- if mine doesn't fit, I'm totally ok with that, just let me know.

Mm. I am taking it easy, I just like letting others know what I might be making to see if anyone may want to collaborate or just let them know if they were thinking of the same class so it could be discussed beforehand. :)

I hope to have mine to you tonight/tomorrow. Her stats are finished, just need to work on background.

Sounds good looking forward to seeing them! Heading to sleep now.

Dwarf lady's pretty much done now, just gotta give her a name and fill in the fluff!

  ANy advise, peeps? 

  I have a guy I could play, Brando the Pedestrian.  He left his home on a farm to serve in a small mercenary company where he used roman style tactics.  He could be either a paladin or a fighter. 

Then I have susan skythorn.  Just a red haired girl with a crossbow trying to duck an arranged marriage and see the world. 

  I ussualy do spellcasters.  Could switch to a spellcaster . For some reason I'd like to glance over the 5th edition bard.

Having played 5e bard they are awesome. I do have a warlock in the party only no other applications have been submitted.

Muse

  I might not be able to build 'til I get home tomorrow.  *Pouts* 

  Would anyone have a preference for my playing a guy or gal?

Quote from: Muse on June 03, 2015, 10:36:33 AM
  What class is she, Florence? *Takes notes*

Fighter!

Specifically, she's leaning towards the tanky sort of fighter.

Defense fighting style, though I keep flipflopping between sticking with that or Protection.

Her primary weapons are a warhammer and shield, with a pair of hand-axes to fall back on, or use as throwing weapons when need be.

Seems like fun.  I finally got myself some free time so now I can start thinking about my archer girl.

Character Background:
Acolyte:
Feature - Shelter the Faithful
Personality - I quate sacred texts and proverbs in almost every situation.
Ideal - Faith
Bond - I will do anything to protect the temple where I served.
Flaw - I cannot resist the pleasures of the flesh.

Halavan was an Acolyte of Corellon Larethian, serving the god and the priests. I was born to a Nymph mother and an Elven father. As my mother knew my beauty would cause others to seek ownership over me, she placed me as a child in the temple or Corellon.
However, as I grew older the temple life felt restrictive to my fey instincts. I wanted to run free in the wilds with the animals and fey. I left the temple and joined the Elven warriors patrolling the wilds of the High forest. Among them I felt for the first time the pleasures of the flesh, especially enjoying the muscular frames of the Elven males (and later human males when I arrived at Silverymoon and Waterdeep).

Feeling dissatisfied with army life, I left for Silverymoon, where I worked at the Golden Orc's Head inn. There, the human bard Calthian taught me to use musical instruments of almost all types, as well as how to sexually please men. When he traveled to Waterdeep, I left with him, and found work there as a bard myself.

The harp he gave me as a gift is my most treasured possession, even though we have since parted ways.

Appearance:

Lynnie

While I love the half elf half nyphm characters i would like to stay with the phb for my first time please!

dror

Well I basically used the High Elf template and just gave him the charm person instead of an extra cantrip. If you want, I can change it, but that was about as far as the change went.

Lynnie

Please I want to keep this pretty basic for my first time. He can be a high elf just for now keep to phb

Lynnie

Thankie. Hoping to get the opening story tomorrow. Will depend on the job fair.

Oh.  I'll make sure it's shared or copy it yo you when I get home.
