To arms! To arms! The battle lines are drawn as desert men and inhuman tribes wait poised to strike the fertile and rich lands of the east. The call has gone out through the civilized lands. The armies have been raised to match the invading foes from the west. Nobles and peasants have joined swords to greet the foes.
But Fate or Chance has decreed another role for a small few. No glorious banners will wave on their march. No squadrons of knights will charge at their word. Instead, they will fight the war with stealth, secrecy, and cunning. The risks they will take are great, but the fates of both armies lie with them.
It begins one night for your party far from the fighting...
Seeking 6-8 players able to post every 2-3 days. Characters all start with the same number of XP, and levels will range from 6 to 9, depending on party composition (50 levels total to start). Character generation 3d6, any order. Maximum hit points at 1st level, roll for subsequent levels. All normal equipment allowed within reason, plus (1d6+4)x100 gp in assorted coins, gems and jewelry. Magic items to be determined later.
This is one of my favorite adventures from back in the day. While it has the epic scope of Lord of the Rings, it's much more swords & sorcery than high fantasy. I hope you enjoy it.
Who's in?
