Story Hour: AoW (Spoilers for AoW, SC and some DCC's).
Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2007 11:04 am
Last weekend my group finished the Shackled City campaign (which I ported over to Aereth about half way through, especially after I noticed that the Northlands looked fairly similar to my handdrawn homebrew map!), and tomorrow night we start Age of Worms.
With that in mind, heres the differences and what has gone on before:
The Age of Worms has been known for sometime by a few individuals. One of them is Drendari, demigoddess of shadow (a deity who delights in mischief especially among the other gods), and she is none too happy about the potential arrival of another demigod - she already has to tolerate St. Cuthbert and Vecna. So she has been orchestrating events to bring select heroes together to speed up and then thwart the rise of a new god.
This worked in her favour during the recent troubles in the city of Cauldron, and now that the eve of this new Age is dawning, she has turned to some new heroes, in the town of Diamond Lake in the heartlands of Crieste.

Current Characters:
Jalista Willows, human female, NG, fighter 1.
Local girl trained in the martial ways by her father, now ready to follow hin his footsteps as an adventurer. The current situation with an ogre that has set up residence outside of town will be her first quest.
Morkane the Mystic, half-elf male, TN, Wizard 1.
Apprentice to a local mage, Morkane, has at last been freed from his apprenticeship. He is not a member of the Ordo Arcana and at this time has no desire to join them. With his former master out of town, it falls to the town council to ask Morane for assitance.
T'Lak, thri-kreen male, CG, rogue 1.
T'Lak arrived in Diamond Lake several months ago and despite his appearance has been accepted by the locals. He is a bit of a shady trader, always looking to make that next big score. When the ogre attacked, he voulnteered to help defeat it.
Atmos, half-(Howling)dragon/elf male, CN, Cleric of Erythnnul 1.
A villainous character captured in the local area, he was going to be executed until the ogre's attack saved him. In return for his life, he must accompany the others into the barrow hills north of town and defeat the giant!
Retired Characters:
Urkane Fellthane, aasimar male, LG, paladin 1.
A knight who protects the realm, Urkane has responded to a call for help from Diamond Lake. He has been placed in charge of the expedition by the town council. Urkane hopes to one day prove his worth to the Order of the Sable March, and join their order.
Ugard, dwarf male, CG, wilder 1.
An outcast from his homeland for displaying psionic ability. Ugard has fled persecution into the human lands of Crieste. With little to fall back on, he has taken to the role of adventurer.
Died, fighting skeletons.

As a small reference, in my campaign Paladins are more Arthurian Knights than holy champions.
