Hi all,
Well, time's coming around again for the ol' BR campaign to start up again,
but I am a little stuck for where to go. I'll sum up the situation:
There are two players in the group, both regents, and around level 5. One
regent is the Baron of Roesone (fighter), and the other is a Priest of
Haelyn (leading the WIT in Roesone/surrounds). The two are friendly with
each other, and are likely to work together toward a common goal. The Baron
very much supports the faith (though he is not a servant of it) as he is
aware of it's importance to the people. Both characters would fit into the
LG/NG alignment.
The country is in a reasonable state from a financial point of view, but is
severely lacking in military power (troops), having just fought a mighty
battle with Osoerde (it was quite funny actually, almost all of the troops
died in one battle - must have been almost 50GB worth all up). They are on
very friendly terms with Ilien, and on good terms with Medoere (in that it
provides a buffer from Diemed - I haven't really played up this angle much
at all). They are seeking to form an alliance with Mhoried to keep Ghoere at
bay. Osoerde is severely weakened (much like Roesone, but without the
finances to be able to recover from the loss), and Aerenwe is not doing a
lot (terms are OK - the PC's have been pretty careful not to get too many
people offside at once). The other big fact to note is that Roesone is
without a court wizard, something the PC's are looking to remedy, but don't
really know how to go about doing and don't have the time.
The campaign has not been running long, and is probably a lot different than
most. We only get about 10 hours of gaming in every 3 months (or so), so we
tend to spend quite a lot of time on the domain turns, rather than
adventures. Usually we run about 3 turns to each adventure. We just ran
through the "Family Matters" scenario in the RoE sourcebook.
So, where to go next? I don't want to get into a huge, long campaign goal,
because we simply don't have time for it (it's actually pretty rare for any
characters to actually increase in level more than once due to the time
shortage, but we are all experienced roleplayers, so character level
advancement is really not so important).
I'd like to address the issue of a court wizard, and also look at the
alliance with Mhoried. Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Simon
