Welcome aboard the First Charge. For those unaware, in my inn threads, a war is brewing in Faerun between the gods, and the Devil King Asmodeus.If you and your character join here, you will have a chance to be part of the First Charge. Led by Rak-el, an angelic commander for Lord Torm, the warriors of this battle will fight first, and have a chance at a decisive victory early on against the evil below.

Rules here are simple:

I'm the DM. Period. If you remember that everything will run smoothly.

I will not tolerate god-moders, at all. If you are a beginner in ISRP, please, just watch this Charge, and jump in on the Second Charge later on.

Characters should not surpass 30th level, and must have a good reason to be there and fighting. Though this is a combat thread, I will still expect a fair amount of role-playing. If you need help deciding why you are there, read the Darkhole Inn thread, as well as the God thread that I made.

Post here your character, however much or little you want, but enough to give me an idea. The Charge begins Monday night, at at that point this thread will become a closed RP.

Characters who within the Darkhole have accepted Rak-el's offer, please post here for other's reference. If you are not posted here, you can not play.

Thank you,
Tarran out

Mazithra's character sheet is here (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=4117513&postcount=209)
Really don't see the sense it typing the whole damn thing out again. Any problems, PM me or leave a message here.

Kito's my character. He's in the Character Posting Thread. In addition, I'm going to PM you concerning another character.

ok Donny is odd. he is a human sized turtle with amazing martial artist abilities. he is the greatest warrior of his race. he is kinda smart and loves to fight. his meditation is a must to keep him focused on the goals that lie ahead. he is not the strongest person you will find but he uses a masterful fighting strategy to asure victory.

Game thread is up, and you three are accepted. Any others players that wish to join may do so at any point until I post the battle has been joined, in which case it will be much too late. Arcuna's character has been accepted, though he hasn't posted here. I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that Charon was there. I will try to take temporary control of the character if Arcuna can not play him, but I think he may just be stuck offline for a bit.

Well that's it,

I'm really sorry for not posting sooner. Through no fault but my own, I didn't even think to check the MotP for the new thread. *begs forgiveness*

My character is Charon, an ex-demon in the body of a human. He has the ability to manipulate positive and negative energy, and if he concentrates, he can surpass most physical boundries, including physical attacks. (Of course, that doesn't make him completely impervious to them, and it's really only used as a last resort. Magic still affects him normally.)

there is no reson to apologize. it is completely fine, we all have other things to do in the outside world.

I think, LEH, it would be better if we gathered our thoughts a little better. From the way you posted, I can tell you are a little new to the message board thing. Please understand that we prefer posts that are readable, punctuated, and coherent. I think it may be better if you watch the first charge and joined the second charge sometime in May/June. OK?
god the giant

04-16-05, 09:32 AM
LT, please tell me, that you didnt say, the second charge wont be for two months.oh by the way how long will it take us to march to this fort? in game time i mean.

Character Bio:
Kuvas was born in the region known to humans as the “Hazard Hills”, a vast wasteland in the north, abandoned except for a few Orcan tribes that call it home. He also had the misfortune to be born a half-orc into the Skullrune Clan, a distinction of bigotry within the tribe. Kuvas tried to fit in, but the fates chose to give him more human features than that of his half breed clansman, thus he found it difficult even among other half-orc’s of his tribe. Though he might have had the features of his human lineage, the strength and blood of his Skullrune fathers pulsed through his veins.

And so he persevered and became a mighty warrior and leader; his tough up bringing molded him into a mean and nasty Orc. Because of his white grayish hair and that he was seen as a blight amongst the tribe, a blight that they could not destroy for the more they tried the stronger he became, those of his clan named him the “White Bane”.

His life all changed one spring day after his father’s death. It was at the “Great Chasm of Oagungad” that he claims to have heard from the human's deity, Ilmater the god of endurance. He returned to his clan days later to pack his belongings and quickly departed for the human regions. The beginning of a quest to find meaning for his life outside the struggle to survive within the clan and to prove that not all half-orc’s are evil, that there is good amongst his people.

Kuvas has spent the last few years roaming about the country joining several groups. He has had no contact with family or any member of his clan since his endeavor began. Though at times he has been lonely he has made no close friends as of yet even though his reputation continues to grow and spread.

Around numerous bands he is sought after to join their ranks and he does so willing. Kuvas has collected a fair amount of wealth even though that has not been his aim. All income has been invested into his gear to better serve his employers and so has never purchased land or a home.

Kuvas has worked hard to be friendly and helpful to all other races as hard as it might be at times. He finds it difficult to serve under substandard leadership and so can become confrontational. As he still struggles with his Orcan temper he continues to yield to Obad-Hai for direction and guidance. He has yet to visit any large city for most folks still look upon him with apprehension, but he has not given up hope on his quest.

Recent History:
Word has reached Kuvas’ ear that the Celestials are gathering to make a strike against the devil king Asmodeus. With a few friendly contacts he has in the Underdark, the barbarian has learned of the location of a certain special inn.

well i dont run this post or the charge but i do believe that Lord Tarran has announced the charge closed. not 100% sure so youll have to check with him but i dont think he will allow any other characters into the charge since it has already started. once again check with LT and see what he says.
Gallimaufri

04-28-05, 08:40 PM
If not... I'll wait for the second charge and instead go on and make my entrance into the Darkhole Inn.
Arcuna

04-28-05, 09:04 PM
You may as well wait until you get a response from LT; it looks like you put a lot of work into that character, and it would be disappointing if you went and joined the Darkhole when you could, in fact, still make it into the First Charge.
Solmund

04-30-05, 10:41 PM
i;d like to be in as well. let me get a character up in the posting boards.
Lord Tarran

05-01-05, 09:59 AM
Gallimaufri: Very good. You're in. One more won't hurt, and we haven't started yet. Just enter with like some running or something. However, change Obad-Hai to a Faerunian god please.

Solmund: The character is either posted here, or linked here. No other considerations will be made.

God: Don't over step your bounds, Mick.

LT out

You need to complete the sheet, Turalisj, as well as explain the four unaccounted levels. You also need to prove to me, in story, why this character is at the inn.

Taeldrin, though you did overstep your bounds, I agree. Turalisj, you have a tendency to god mod. I need you to prove to me here you won't do that here.

LT out

05-05-05, 08:58 PM
hey lets get more people cause i still think the more the merrier. oh yeah and if i may ask when will we finalyy advance on the fort? know i have asked this LT but never hurts to ask twice.

i am working on that.

The four unaccounted levels are the Half-Celestial LA. 'Level' should be ECL.

05-07-05, 09:56 PM
i would like to join the first charge if i am not too late, but i can join the second charge if i must. but i was wondering if we can have two characters in either charge. i was wondering this since i'll be having twin characters....
Lord Tarran

05-17-05, 07:39 PM
At this moment, the First Charge is closed to further applicants here in this thread. I am willing to possibly consder other applicants through PM only, and I will need a lot of convincing.

So Turalisj, Master of Flames, and Solmund, you are out of the running. Keep an eye out for the second charge.
god the giant

05-17-05, 08:56 PM
hey LT when will the second charge begin?and please dont give me the wise answer after the first one ends.

nice picture.

06-15-05, 09:25 AM
Come on, I'm sure you guys have the Monster Manual. You can get the picture, and full stats.

Also God, just for something or other, what is Donny? My guess is an Anthromorphic Turtle monk, about 12th level. And not to mention that a 306 degree flip leaves one in a slanted position.
Arcuna

06-15-05, 11:14 AM
Come on, I'm sure you guys have the Monster Manual. You can get the picture, and full stats.And even if you don't, you can get everything you need from the v.3.5 SRD (http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/home.html).
god the giant

06-15-05, 02:45 PM
thats why it was a side flip.and if you need to know what he is to tell you the truth im not totally sure.he is just a giant turtle,thats all i can really tell you.
Arcuna

07-09-05, 03:27 PM
I'm going to be leaving for camp tomorrow, and I won't be back until the 24th. Considering that it is a video game camp (yes, a video game camp), there's a good chance that I'll have Internet access frequently enough to keep up with the happenings in the First Charge at least somewhat well, but if you don't hear from me, you will know why.

Talk to you all in two weeks, if not sooner! :(
Taeldrin Laesrash

07-09-05, 04:10 PM
Lucky.
Arcuna

07-09-05, 11:40 PM
Lucky.Yes, it should be great fun.

Turns out that we will indeed have Internet access, so I'll try my best to keep up with the IC thread, but don't expect me to be posting very frequently.
Khaira

07-27-05, 12:50 AM
If you hadn't already guessed, Mazithra is pulling out of the First Charge permanently. He'll dissapear through a dark rift in time and space, or step through a dimensional door....use your imagination.
Arcuna

07-27-05, 12:57 AM
Aww. :( Why?
Khaira

07-27-05, 01:06 AM
Aww. :( Why?

I've fallen behind far too much in keeping up with the events of the thread. If you hadn't noticed, it's been quite some time since I'd posted last. And I'm simply too busy.
