Episode 1: Three bells and all's well

The Story Begins:

Recruited by the attractive, young Lady Lavinia Vanderboren, the party is to investigate trouble on her father's ship the "Blue Nixie" and try to locate his signet ring. The party is offered payment (200gp each) when she is able to get in to the family vault.

Her parents recently passed away, and left several large debts to be paid. Lavinia urgently needs to get in to the family vault and pay the debts, and that requires her father's ring which was hidden somewhere on the Blue Nixie. The harbormaster has impounded the ship, and the man guarding it, Soller Vark, refused to acknowledge that Lavinia ever made the payment to free it.

Full of gusto, the party arrives at the pier only to find the ship moored 100ft from the end of the pier. Sneaking up to the ship, the party makes a rapid assault on Soller Vark and his guards. The paladin Vin guarded a boarding boat, in case the party needed to make a hasty retreat. Soller's lover Marie managed a narrow escape over the side.

Just as the party established control over the main deck, a scream bellows from the hold...

If I have fogotten anything, please let me know. When I get the message board running, I'll post this and the transcripts out there. I think the Teamspeak and OpenRPG worked out well.

Call for PDF's

If you have any PDF's (or any other documents, applications, pictures, or stuff) I am going to put together another CD like I did for the Watchers! reunion campaign. So send 'em to me.

New Webpage!

Ready set go... http://www.oggoo.org/
Get it? Got it? Good.

The domain and web site are up. I'm still working on the message board. Time is short.

I still need character's from a few potential players. And I haven't contacted one player yet. So if anyone reads this thing tell Luke, I'm going to e-mail him. *snicker*

I can set up e-mail accounts for the oggoo.org domain too, if anyone is interested.

Required Reading

Yeah, I know, homework. These are the links to the Player's Guide to the Savage Tide adventure path: (low res, high res)

From this, your character's background needs to be developed. There will be an XP reward for the effort. Electronic format, RTF's please.

PC creation should be normal, 28-point characters. The SRD is the official pick list, but some exceptions may be made. I would prefer characters in electronic form. PCGen files preferred, but the excel do-dad is fine too.

I am not sure what we can accomplish, but we can have our first on-line gathering Wednesday, October 18. Teamspeak and OpenRPG will be the tools of the trade. I still need to set up a domain and a message board for this.

Bedtime.

Casting Call for Red Shirts

Anyone interested in playing just one session, and is interested in a dramatic (potentially gruesome) death. Let me know. Future sessions for recurring 'drop-in' red shirts is a possibility.

Anyone interested in generating PC sheets or NPC stat blocks for red shirts will get XP bonuses. Sumbit or request character concept in advance.

The Savage Tide!

The Savage Tide has been chosen as the first adventure for our on-line group. I'll have to get the message board and web page up ASAP. Ha!. PC's need to be submitted and I need to come up with a mailing list.

PCGen 5.10.1 - Character generator
Teamspeak - Voice chat
X7chat or Blab - Text Chat
vBulletin or PHPBB - Message Board
