ame tonight. Whoopee! First time I`ve been able to
run a face-to-face game in years, and I cleverly engineered it to be set
in Birthright. The players weren`t really interested in ruling kingdoms
so much as adventuring, but I`ll work on them.
They started out in Dhoesone, a barbarian, a barbarian/ranger, and a druid
(they all picked rjurik, I have no clue why). Got hired to guard the
prizes for a tournament the Baroness was throwing. Briefly debated
stealing them themselves. Fought off the re-animating undead that were
brought as a distraction, and then dispatched the rogue trying to steal
the prize with a single critical hit. My poor NPCs.
So the prize for the joust was this sword, golden or gold-plated, they
don`t know. I figured the bad guys were stealing it because it`s darn
valuable, and even evil cultists bent on world domination need money. But
my players think it must be some kind of ancient magical thingamabob, and
never let it be said I don`t aim to please.
So my new plan is that the sword is Azrai`s sword. The way I figure it,
when azrai died, he split into parts, plus lost some bits into the minor
awnsheghlien that were created.
These are fuzzy, but the general separation:
Pride- I`d like his sword to have gained the pride aspect.
Greed- The Cold Rider- wants to posess the entire shadow world.
Envy- the Gorgon- he always envied his brothers.
Wrath- Belenik- obviously.
Sloth- the Apocalypse- it floats around slowly and eats things. This one
is week.
Which leaves:
Lust
Gluttony
Kriesha doesn`t seem to fit any of these really, she`s described in the
BoP as plotting and cruel. Maybe Lust? And that would still leave one
open, which is fine, this doesn`t have to fit perfect right away, since
all the players know is there`s a sword some dead guy wanted.
I don`t know where this is going eventually, maybe if the Gorgon is
tricked into using the sword to kill the Apocalypse, well, that`s 3 parts,
something bad will happen. Who knows.
By the way, skeletons in 3.5 have DR 5/blunt, meaning blunt weapons
penetrate the DR. If some evil guy takes the time to fit them with iron
banding on their major bones, you can just give them DR 5/- and freak your
players out.
