Actualy, our page here has more or less become a tribute page to the Mighty Jason. He is so good and so flexible that his range can accurately depict nearly every character that our group has played in the last 15 years. I hope that someday we can pay his commission to depict the rest! Obtained permission from Anne Stokes. She's a sweetheart Also obtained permission from the Epic Ken Kelly, to use 'Northwatch.' Permission from Dan Scott Jason Engle just emailed me and gave me permision to display his art on these boards!!! It was fast and easy too, he responded within the hour and was very polite. Jason, you are a God! Anne Stokes and Ken Kelly have also given permission. All other art I have used already has permission from Wizards, who commissions a massive number of artists for their books and magic cards, so :P Most artists I spoke to were very generous.
Arlem 10-16-06, 07:47 PM	http://www.alexkolesar.com/images/ssart/minotaur.jpg art by Alex Kolesar Player: Big Mike Status: Deceased Born into the Prarie Hells of Moon Mesa, found deep in the painted deserts of Anauroch, Young Schlitz was calved during a desperate escape attempt from his family's pursuing Zhentarim Slavers. Minotaurs are born fully alert and the legends say that Schlitz fell to the earth covered in gore, rolled to his feet admidst the rage of battle and dust, heard the cries of his newly butchered mother and grabbed the first weapon he could find, instinctively slamming the dense wooden club into the nearest human skull of this new and beautiful world. Many Zhents fell. And many did not. He and the surviving Minotaur slaves were herded in chains, back to the Zhentarim Gladitorial pits to await their death in the arena under the lustful roar of the human hordes. How he hated that flag. His teachers were minotaur slaves. They didn't last long, and when Schlitz was ready for the arena, neither did he. As the gates opened, Schlitz ignored his opponent and slammed his club into the Zhentarim gaurd next to him. Before the last spear tore into his liver, the young minotaur had snapped the humans frail neck between the iron links of his slave chain. A dark face smiled on him that day, for the Drow High Priestess Sepher Baenre was amongst the bidders on that fated morning. Magic burned the air, Zhents cowered in horror, gold was exchanged and the pierced but unblinking frame of Schlitz was carefiuly levitated before the benevolent touch of the beautiful dark elven priestess. His life was restored. Taking only his favorite club and insisting on bringing his slave chains with him, Schlitz MaltLicker was led through a portal to the far distant realm of Dragonlance where his new life would begin under the heavy hands of the famed Minotaur Knight, Sir Loyn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sclitz MaltLicker Minotaur Fighter 14 Barbarian 2 Large Monstrous Humanoid (9ft tall, 800 lbs) Allignment: Lawful Good Hit Points: (235) Initiative: +4 Speed: 30ft (6 squares) Armor Class: 34 (-1 size, +5 natural, +12 armor bonus, +4 deflection, +4 luck) touch 13 melee attack: +42/37/32/27 Dire Chain Club (3d6+15) bludgeoning ranged attack: +31/26/21/16 Hero's bow (2d8+4) piercing grapple: +56 gore: +30 (1d8+10) Space/Reach: 10ft/10ft Special Racial Attack: Powerful Charge (4d6+15) Special Racial Qualities: Darkvision 60ft, natural cunning (never flat-footed), Scent Special Barbarian qualities: fast movement, illiteracy, rage (1/day) Saves: Fort +27, Ref +11, Will +7 Abilities: Str 30, Dex 18, Con 30, Int 10, Wis 12, Chr 8 Skills: Intimidate +22, Listen +26, Search +26, spot +26, smell +26, jump +32 Martial Feats: Power attack, Bull Rush, Improved Bull Rush, Sunder, Improved Trip, Exotic Weapon Proficiency Chain Club, Cleave, Great Cleave, Cleaving Charge, Trail of Blood (Ultimate Feats 2 d20), Combat Reflexes, Combat Instincts (UF d20) Monstrous Feats: Awesome Blow (MM 3.5), Juggernaut (UF2 d20), Toss aside (UF2 d20) General Feats: Run Possessions: +4 Spiked Barbed Magical Platemail (+4d6 piercing dmg to grapple), Ironwood Dire Chain Club (3d6 bludgeouning, threatens 20ft range, trip), +4 Bracers of Deflection, +4 Dark Blessing Amulet of Luck, +5 Great Hero's Bow of Piercing (2d8 Pierces through all objects less than hardness 12, 60hp, within short range increment), Quiver of arrow retrieval, 30 Heroic Piercing arrows (ignore armor with less than hardness 12) Gloves of Chaos (+6d6 crushing blow) lesser bag of holding, Cloak of Eris ( Dmg Reduction 5/-, SR 22, Mighty Rage (6/day), +4 Vorpal Horn Sheaths CR 23
Kakegoddess 10-16-06, 08:18 PM	Our group just started a new campaign that takes place 30 years after our last campaign ends. I decided to play my last character's , a gnome rogue/illusionist, daughter. She's a half gnome (long story, that) level 1 rogue and just a lot of fun. Her name is Raerwann Elise Gimila Arhalianna Nackle Miran, although she'll never pull out the whole name willingly.
Sarella Starshine 10-16-06, 11:36 PM	my best character was a rogue, Sophrena. She was the daughter of the town drunk. Her mother died during childbirth, and the ever so 'friendly' townfolk (think tiny hamlet here), always blamed her for it, as her mother was one of those people that was well loved with the town. One night during a massive thunderstorm, she was recuited along with a few other people (her adventuring party) who were staying at the inn to help fight off some very nasty troglodites. A group of trogs ran off and while the party ran off (one was a wizard and the other a druid and they both casted thier single target movement increase buff), she decided she was not sucidal enough to take off in the torrental rain trying to chase off some mobs that were fleeing. To make a long story short, she eventually helped them overcome a few obstacles before leaving because a better offer came up.
Arlem 10-20-06, 09:51 PM	http://wizards.com/dnd/images/dof_gallery/100045.jpg art by the Epic Anne Stokes Player: Jason Hernandez, DM As a young adult, Vulcan was captured (at great expense to the Brown Dragon Riders) near Blood Stand while preparing to ambush a trade caravan enroute to Tarsis. Stronger and more vile than the Brown Dragons of the area, the barbaric rider's Warlord decided the monster was too violent to be trained as a mount. Vulcan was marked for death, to be dismembered and sold for parts to anxious wizards and dragon smiths. But that was not to be. The young champion Bayard Bearheart had been watching the trial and purchased the Dragon to aid in the training of his new ward, the exiled High-elf Arlem Tem. Eager to kill the young elf and regain her freedom, Vulcan was shocked at her immediate defeat and amazed as the fool leaped onto her back and tried to ride her. After several hours of aerial combat, razor scaled bucking and sinister sand dives, the dragon could fly no more. Bleeding, nearly dead, Arlem tumbled from her back into the burning sands. As Arlem awoke from his hospital bed, he was surprised to find the huge blue looking in through his window. Vulcan did not kill him. The two have been companions ever since. Vulcan, the mount of the proud Dragonslayer Arlem Tem, profits greatly from the union. Jealous of the dragons of the Dust Plains, Vulcan exchanges lair locations and dragon secrets to the Slayer, aiding him in combat in exchange for the slain's hordes and territory. But unbeknownst to Arlem, she has another intent. Many are the times that Arlem has been visited in the night by a beautiful dark haired harem girl named Moytura. Vulcan has long taken this shape to play games with Arlem and is now pregnant with twins from this union. Moytura http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/leof_gallery/86714.jpg Moytura, female seductress, aspect of the blue dragon Vulcan (holding Blue Dragon's Bane, a powerful weapon listed in the TSR magic item encyclopedias of the 2nd edition rules {which I would not mind seeing the wizards recreate). The sword was given to Arlem at his wedding by King Bayard The Silver Dragon Lord, as a token of trust between friends.

Arlem 10-20-06, 09:55 PM	http://www.macdesktops.com/images/1152x768/BCladyDeath1152x768.jpg Player: Kenneth Ferguson Born into the Powerful Drow House of Baenre, Sepher survived many attempts on her life by numerous siblings and her own mother. Bribing the various assassins, torturers and poisoners of Underdark while cleverly advancing her influence through the political factions of the formidable Drow Nations, Sepher quickly rose to power as the High Priestess of the Dark Lady Takhisis. After murdering the last of her siblings, it was expected that Sepher would take her Mothers life and usurp her throne as Matriarch, but the beautiful Drow's ambitions were more sinister than that. While using her mother as a pawn, Sepher established a powerful Drug Cartel, enlisting dependant Minotaur Mercenary units to enforce her will and drow assassins to erase her opposition from the cover of Drow Darkness. A powerful Plane Shifter, Sepher traveled to the Surface Realm of DragonLance where the power of her Dark Goddess was all consuming. Sepher enlisted herself as the High Priestess of the Black Dragon Lord Krillen, spreading her influence through the Black Army, while gaining knowledge and experience from the movements of the Epic General of the Green Dragon Army, Jirod. Enlisting powerful allies from behind the scenes, including the Red Dragon Rider of Legend, Bayard Bearheart, and Krynn's Kai Lord Charles Dugoth, she killed the epic elven lich Lorak, brought about the downfall of the Priest King and burned Solamnia, scattering the holy ranks of Solamnia's Knights across the Realms. One by one, Sepher murdered each eschelon of priests in spell combat, replacing them and their political factions with subjects loyal to her. Still unable to defeat the Leader of the Dragon Armies of Krynn in direct combat, Sepher instead had The Night Lord Seremon poisoned by his first in command. Upon Seremon's death, she claimed his powers, items and the Dark Blessings of her Goddess as the High Priest and Commander of the Dragon Armies of Krynn, empowering her Goddess and plunging the world into darkness under her Iron rule. Combining a superior charisma with genius intellect, Sepher is able to influence and beguile even high level charachters with ease, convincing the world to believe in her goals and love her. Though vile and venomous by nature, Sepher is unrivaled as an actor. Everyone who meets her, usually loves her and she uses their emotions to play them into her plans for world domination. In her long life, only four people have even suspected her true intentions. Sepher controls the Armies and the priests of Krynn, spreading her religion across the world from her holy Radican City of priests in Silvanos. Her wealth, influence and the armies of loyal followers from all allighnments are near endless and cannot be easily counted, uniting Krynn under one flag. Having recently achieved Godhood, Sepher enjoys many privaledges as the Right Hand of Takhisis and has deep ties to the rulers of the Abyss. She employs a modified epic version of the Clone Spell to rule the various factions of her empire simultaneously. Sepher's Epic Holy Symbol http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/rodragon_gallery/94173.jpg Wayne England This priceless amulet is thought to be the focal source of Sepher's Divine power and Dark Blessings. As the High Priestess and Night Lord of Takhisis and her dragon armies, Sepher Is granted the 'Dark Blessing.' The main power granted by this is the ability to wildshape into a maximum HD Great Wyrm Chromatic of her choice 3/day as a free action, maintaining the use of her normal abilities and possessions whilehealing all damage. It is also rumored to give the priestess access to the abyss, gate spells and allows her to transform herself into a Tanaari 3/day. Entrance, Sepher's Temple of The Dark Lady http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/rhod_gallery/95674.jpg Des Hanley Sepher recruited an exceptional human bard named Jovan to act as ambassador and war councilor to her allies, enemies and world business factions including various underground drug and smuggling cartels. The exceptionaly intelligent human performed his duties well but the weakness in his heart made him unworthy to rulle at her side. Jovan was confronted by a foreign deity from another plane who threatened to destroy him unless he betrayed his priestess and God. Without hesitation, Jovan agreed to do all that was asked of him and even handed the deity his soul, that the deity might spare him. Using the power of this as yet unnamed outsider god, Jovan led it to Sepher's Temple in the Underdark where the entity destroyed her church. When Sepher learned what Jovan had done, she upheld the laws of the drow and of her own clergy, sentencing Jovan to 1000 years of drow torture before his ritual delivery to the abyss where Takhisis awaits him. His ligaments were severed that he might not escape. His tongue was removed and his eye lids cut off that he might not easily rest his thoughts. Between torture session too brutal and secret to list here, Jovan was placed in a water cylinder too large for him to rest in, filled halfway so that kneeling would drown him. The water was filled with painful jellyfish and he was knowingly fed with the flesh of his murdered relatives whom the drow had tracked down. Sepher frequently visited the broken Jovan, healing his wounds and preventing his mind from slipping into madness. She offered him salvation, she knew he would accept and he did. Normaly Sepher would not have granted him mercy, but her goddess demanded the destruction of Krynn and she needed Jovan to do this. She restored his mind, body and his office against her better judgement to appease the will of her goddess. As predicted, Jovan failed her again but with a power so awesome she could not have hoped to prevent. Jovan was still posessed by a deity that Takhisis had not warned her of. He used that power to obtain an explosive devise of incredible power which he detinated while stepping through a portal to another world. Jovan had escaped Sepher and Krynn. The device killed Sepher's sister and companions and even ended Sepher, but...she got over it. Sepher had previously made a pact with the Death God Chemosh, gaining access to the death domain and powerful spells that preserved her life. Her red dragon companion Spark had survived the flames and carried her to her alter where her priests and acolytes restored her body. Sepher prayed to her goddess for the spell that would restore her sister Devia but Takhisis refused. She had plans for devia and would complete her training in the Abyss. When asked what should be done with Jovan and his allies, Takhisis answered "Do not persue them, Jovan is mine!" Sepher rebuilt the temple in Underdark, then used Krillin to conquer the elven city of Silvanos, killing its warriors and selling the remnants as slaves. Sepher declared that the entire city her church, 'God's City' and the seat of rulership for the dark ladies faithful and their conquered empires.

Arlem 10-24-06, 06:42 PM	http://fantasy.mrugala.net/Ken%20Kelly/Ken%20Kelly%20-%20Cavalier.jpg Player: Ken DM: Jason Hernandez This charachter has been in play for the last 13 years. My first charachter from the old days when a group of kids first started playing Dungeons and Dragons in a high school cafeteria. He is the only truly epic charachter I have earned and is now officialy retired (having died only 5 times). Arlem started his life (at 1st lvl) as a hi-elven child amongst mortal men. In the war torn realms of Ansalon, young arlem escaped the slavers even as the houses and trees of his loved ones burned behind him. Though only a child, his loss and cowardice haunted him to near insanity. How he let his family die while he ran for safety. Determined to right this weakness, the child volunteered himself in a mercenary unit hired by a local governor to kill a juvenile Black Dragon in the marshlands. Hired for his elven weapons mastery, Arlem set out confidently as his group tracked the young dragon, but the dragon surprised them. Locked in combat, Arlem was no match for the fierce black. His entire party was butchered while the acid melted through his borrowed armor as he fled. Frustrated, haunted by the memory of his failure and his inability to act through fear, Arlem became a fanatic perfectionist. Ardently vowing never to run again, even if it cost him his life, the young elf dedicated his existence to the mastery of combat. He was accepted as the ward of the weapons master and dragon lord Bayard Bearheart, who taught him survival and tactics. When together the two encountered a juvenile red dragon in its lair, Arlem drove his dagger through its eye, killing the monster instantly. Confident of his new power, Arlem dedicated his life to destroying the most powerful adversarys imaginable, the Dragons of Krynn. He learned Dragon Riding from the Brown Riders of the Dust Plains. He learned Dragon Slaying from the mountain Slayers of Hextor's Climb. With Force of arms, powerful magic, exceptional weapons and peerless allies, Arlem has been a successful Dragon Slayer for the past 400 years and is now thought of as the best Slayer who ever drew breath. Now epic in power and renown, Arlem was Deified by the Norse Thunder God Odin, and watches over the Slayers and Dragons of Krynn, aiding slayers when the balance wanes and the chromatics become too numerous. Aware of the prophecies of Ragnarok, Odin has enlisted Arlem as his champion to compete in that final battle and take on his mantle with the destruction of Asgard. Arlem's main weapon is a short ax of immense size named Azuredge. The weapon is sentient, possessed by the spirit of a powerful Sorceress Planeshifter from The Forgotten Realm City of Water Deep. Whenever Waterdeep is attacked by impossible odds or hordes of ork raiders, Arlem is teleported there to defend it. In addition, Arlem is charged to kill any and all orks he encounters with very few exceptions (as the sorceress hates orks). This sacred pact is never violated as the epic weapon is far too valuable to risk losing. Arlem, Undead Dragon Slayer CR12 http://www.alexhorley.com/Images/deathd01.jpg Art by Alex Horley over 1000 years earlier than his previous aspect, Arlem was killed in combat by an ancient Red Dragon. By sheer force of will (as per the old rules) The Dragon Slayer rose from the dead, forging a bond with the death gods to wander the world slaying dragons and absorbing their life energy until he could return to his living manifestation. though far removed from this dark existence, Arlem's undead form is still feared in many worlds and this image is still used by draconic parents to frighten young hatchlings... First weapon worthy of a hero, +3 Bastard Flame Sword http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wow/community/photos/art_galley/images/123153/372x425.aspx Jason Engle At 3rd level, Arlem failed to kill his first dragon mark, watching in horror as it killed and devoured all of his companions even as his own armor lay melting in the shadows. Wounded and defeated, young arlem watched as a mysterious wizard teleported in and killed the young black, poaching its corpse for spell components. After the wizard teleported away, Arlem slid wounded from the shadows to check his mercenary group for survivors. Finding a muck covered chain leading into the swamp water, he pulled a chest from the depths, containing a masterwork sword of indescribable beauty. As he drew the weapon from its bejeweled sheath, the blade exploded with magical flame. The next dragon would not win so easily! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arlem, Divine Aspect After serving valiantly as Odin's champion for 8 centuries, Ragnarok was finally upon him. Remembering his betrayal and long held hatred for the foreign God Zeus, Arlem's true father, the dragon slayer returned to olympus to avenge the death of his wife. Zeus was tricked into leaving Olympus and his godly protectors, taking a pleasure cruise on his space traveling galleon when he was ambushed by his son, accompanied by the now deified Dragon Lord Bayard Bearheart, Ironbeard Hextor, Lord Valor the Just and an elite team of divine mercenaries. As it was known that each drop of blood Odin spilled on the galley would spring into a godlike monster, Arlem beat the God down with Heimdall's Hammer. Loosed monsters were dealt with quickly by the divine entourage. Zeus fought for two hours but ultimately failed as Arlem pierced his throat with the Spear of Odin, crushing his skull under foot. Mirya's death had been avenged with the murder of the son of Cronus who's blood was collected in a magical urn. Arlem took his leave of his companions and returned to Asgard, taking the blood and the weapons of Zeus with him to aid in the battle, but when he arrived, Ragnarok had ended. Through the endless ruin of fire and ash, Vidar approached him, dropping the corpse of Fenris at his feet. "I am unwilling to accept my inheritance until the day I am worthy of it, so I will leave my father's mantle in your keeping until Asgard is revived. I will serve as your champion for 800 years, the time you served my father. This is our duty to Asgard." Arlem currently rules Asgard as a Greater God of Thunder, having temporarily donned the mantle of the fallen 'All Father.' As such, he has temporarily aquired the spellcasting powers and abilities of Odin. Until Vidar is willing to accept his father's throne. Together with Vidar, Vali, Hod and Thor's sons Modi and Magni, they are busy rebuilding Midgar and Asgard. Though his new duties leave little time for a fun, Arlem can sometimes be seen hunting Epic Dragons across the planes but he seldom ends their lives. His mortal life is but a distant memory and his future is unknown. He is often seen accompanied by Odin's wolves and black eagles, patrolling both Asgard and Midgard in search of epic giants, riding the Legendary Warhorse Marlburog, a descendant of Odin's Sleipnir. He still wields his favored weapon Azuredge but understands that the time will come when he must give it up and is currently looking for a mortal champion to betow it upon. As the keeper of the weapon, he will not give it up lightly, but he allows the ax to choose as it always has. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The final manifestation of my main character in our main campaign after 13 years of play, now retired Arlem, Thunder God http://www.jaestudio.com/WarriorOfMist.jpgJason Engle Greater Deity Symbol: Blue Dragon Eye against a lightning background Home Plane: Asgard Allignment: NG Portfolio: War, Sky, Air, Storms, Fate, Nobility, Strength Worshipers: Fighters, Barbarians, Dragon Slayers, Nobility, Nonchromatic Dragons Cleric Alignments: CG, LG, NG Domains: Air, Knowledge, Magic, Travel, Trickery, War Favored Weapon: Short ax Arlem-Tem Fighter 20, Barbarian 20, Legendary Dreadnaught 10, Dragon Slayer 10 Medium Outsider Greater God Divine Rank: 19 Hit Dice: 20d10+560 (Ftr) plus 20d12 +560 (Brbn) plus 10d12+280 (Dreadnaught) plus 10d10+280 (Dragon Slayer) (2,350 hp) Initiative: +30 (+26 Dex, +4 Improved initiative) Speed: 90 ft., fly 240 ft. perfect AC: 100 (+26 Dex, +19 Divine, +32 natural, +9 Deflection, +14 armor) Attacks: Azuredge, +10 distance holy keen returning wounding penetrating sentient Orc Bane short ax +100/+100/+100/+95/+90/+85 melee and ranged (Always recieves a 20 roll and always criticals when used by Arlem, use critical threat chart) Damage: Azuredge, +10 distance holy keen returning wounding penetrating sentient Orc Bane short ax 4d12+56 melee (8d12+112 ranged/17-20, always does maximum damage and always criticals when used by Arlem Face/Reach: 5 ft. by 5 ft./5 ft.

Honor, chivalry and the protection of his king are more important to him than life or death. Arlem was stalking a great wyrm Green Dragon across a massive underground dungeon where in one of the treasure rooms he found a masterwork suit of armor struck from shining gold, encased in a standing tomb of thick quartz. The Slayer shattered the thick crystal with his ax to retrieve the armor and was not entirely surprised when the armor moved. The suit of armor animated, looked up and slowly drew its sword. Arlem hefted his ax in anticipation but to his amazement, the armor bowed on one knee, offering its weapon to him. The armor held a living knight of mysterious origin who said his name was Valor. Valor would not tell his story or how he came to be trapped in this dungeon, nor would he remove his helm and let people, even his king Arlem see his face. Respecting his wishes, Arlem accepted his offer of servitude as long as Valor wished to serve and went on his way. Since then, the mysterious knight has served valiantly, never failing and has saved Arlem's life on many occassions. Arlem's finest warrior, the King awarded Valor his ancient castle holdings and office as First Knight, commanding and training all of Arlem's Knights and Queens guards, and General of Arlem's ground forces. http://www.jaestudio.com/Gladiator.jpg art by Jason Engle Though he often removes his platemail to give his opponents a fairer chance at victory, Lord Valor never removes his helm.

Its origins and construction are lost in legend and it was handed down across a line of valiant knights throughout the ages before Valor inherited it. The origins of these knights and the kingdom they protected are known only to Valor and he never speaks of them.

Believed to be Bred for Zhentarim Sky Mages, Carnage escaped his bonds, killed three mages and fled to the southern mountains near Hextor's Climb. Wounded and stretched beyond exhaustion, Sir Valor of Wyvern's Crest encountered the beast on his patrol. Weary of killing, Valor Ignored urges to put the monster to death, commissioning priests from Wyvern's Keep to heal it instead. When Arlem's Champion went forth to release the rejuvenated creature into the wilds of Greyhawk, the Griffon would not leave his side. Valor learned quickly that the beast was extremely intelligent, supernatural and a well trained battle mount. Valor took the beast as his steed. Carnage is well loyal and well trained with one exception, he seems unable to resist the smell of horse meat. Indeed, as mount to Lord Valor himself, he refuses to eat anything else. If Carnage has missed a feeding, he is sure to stop whatever he is doing, then murder and devour the nearest horse to him. Even well trained super heavy warhorses must make a DC 15 fear check in sight of him or become shaken.

nblsprt 10-25-06, 03:24 AM	http://www.jaestudio.com/Barbarian.jpg Krillan is the powerful Dragon Lord charged by the dark Goddess Takhisis to lead her Black Dragon Armies. As part of his Dark Blessing from the goddess, Krillin's mount is a savage Great Wyrm named Acrid. When the drow priestess Sepher Baenre emerged from the shadows of the under dark to challenge the Nightlord for control of the Dragon armies, Krillin immediatly cast his bid to support her, enlisting her great powers to aid his own generals in the Dragon Wars until she was ready to face the God like Night Lord in combat. Krillin supports Sepher's joint wars against the Knights of Solamnia, the King Priest and the powerful elven lich Lorak, leaving all of his resources at her disposal while capturing cities and building churches in her name. Krillin seems to believe that Sepher will defeat the Nightlord and take his place, elevating the Dark Dragonlord to the top of the status ranks.
nblsprt 10-25-06, 03:26 AM	http://www.jaestudio.com/BlackDeath.jpg Jason Engle Acrid, the immensely powerful, supernaturaly strong Great Wyrm mount of the epic Black Dragon Lord, Krillon. Thought to be the most powerful black ever to live, it is said that Acrid is also one of only two black Dragons to be awarded a dark blessing from Takhisis herself. Acrid's breath weapon is twice the damage of the average Great Wyrm Black and always does maximum damage. His physical strength is god like. Acrid is always dangerous, even to his rider. He is also fiercely prejudice against all other dragons excluding blacks of the highest breeding. Acrid will even kill blacks if he feels they are too geneticaly weak to risk reproducing. Acrid has few enemies that are still alive. He has chosen to hate the juvenile dragons Yondross and Spark. Spark is hated because he is the offspring of the epic Red ancient Flame. Acrid also hopes to kill Yondross for a far more personal reason, jealousy.
nblsprt 10-25-06, 03:28 AM	http://www.jaestudio.com/DragonsLair.jpg Jason Engle Said to be the only surviving offspring of Flame and the female Red Wyrm Cinder, This red juvenile is remarkable in that he seems as or more powerful than a red of three categories older than him. Indeed, his powers are developing far quicker than his ability to control them, making him a danger to himself and his allies. Flame is known to be searching for the young Spark, and may kill him on sight for reasons unknown. Acrid the Black seems amused by him, and may kill him for the joy of ending Flame's son. Spark took an immediate liking to Sepher Baenre, the silver tongued priestess of The Dark Lady. He accompanies her in all things, learning the ways and disciplines of his creator. He has learned to hate the Knights of Solamnia with especialy fierce devotion, killing them onsight with no regard to his own safety.

nblsprt 10-25-06, 03:34 AM	http://www.jaestudio.com/TheBleed.jpg Jason Engle With his brilliant mind and amazing ability to read peoples desires and prestent them with options that would mutually benefit all parties, Jovan was destined for greatness. Initially he had no intention of taking the spot light away from the might priestess of the dark lady, Sepher Baenre. Unfortunately his time spent with this evil woman twisted his soul and put close to dark powers that would shape his future. Sepher Baenre used Jovan's abilities as her herald, while he also ran her business affairs. Jovan actually controlled many black markets across the land. However being the spokesman for a brash and arrogant priestess did catch up to Jovan. When faced with ultimate distruction or selling his soul to an evil outsider, Jovan chose to exist. A survivalist by nature he welcomed an evil spirit into his body and willingly transported it to a Sepher's church. Even though the power Jovan wielded with the evil spirit was used at many times to save Sepher from her own foolishness, it was still only garnered more hatred from the suspicious drow. Jovan was releaved to be rid of the burden of the spirit when he finally made it to the church of the dark lady. Short lived however because the spirit let loose an energy that tore asunder foundations of the church and left a large crater where the mighty structure once stood. The evil being that Jovan released onto the world threatened existance itself and many of the Dark Ladies priest had to ensure that the world survived so that they might conquer it. Sepher was not pleased. She turned Jovan over to her High Inquisitor cousin. Who used ancient drow torture techniques, and a few she had developed on her own, to bring an eternity of pain to Jovan's flesh. She even resorted to using her priestly magic to prevent Jovan's mind from slipping into madness. Not for his own safety, but merely because it was more pleasurable for her to hear the screams of a sane man!!! Kawren, Drow Query Assistance Specialist, Expert 18 http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ssouth_gallery/84357.jpg Sam Wood The death that Jovan prayed for never came. Eventually Sepher realized that Jovan was too good at his job and she needed him to complete her dreams of world conquest. However she promised that once he proved useless to her he would return him to his eternity of pain and anguish. Jovan obeyed like the beaten dog. Effectively growing Sehpher's power base within the church, and around the world. With Jovan's help Sepher was tightening her grip around the worlds economy and gaining access to nearly limitless resources. In the mean time he was using his skills to keep Sehper's countless enemies guessing at what the volatile priestess next actions would be. "Thats a good little human. Perhaps I won't need to turn you over to my cousin this year, my little pet." Was a constant reminder to Jovan that his fate, no matter how successful he was, was to pray for death, screaming in agony. Sepher began to threaten that eternity was at risk and that she would personally transport his soul to the Abyss, to deliver him to her Dark Lady, once his usefulness was over. Finally a voice deep within Jovan's very soul, which he didn't even know he still had, spoke of a way out and promised greater power. The evil spirit was still connected with Jovan, and still promised great power. It slowly began to deliver, strengthening Jovan's body and giving him access to demonic powers. The spirit promised freedom from the boot of Sehper Baenre and preached patience to Jovan. Finally salvation came. A group of interdimensional travelers came to the land, hired to destroy the blight on the world that was Sepher Baenre. Of course there skill was not enough to destroy the mighty priestess, but they wielded a powerful alchemical device that would incinerate all within its area of destruction. Before the travelers sacrificed themselves in an attempt to destroy the priestess, Jovan stopped the battle. Using his keen negotiating skills he ended the combat. Sepher was prepared, and sheilded by her faith. Not even a powerful device would harm her while she was prepared. "if you take me with you, I will destroy the priestess." As Jovan said the words, a tingle of pain coursed through his body. A powerful curse began to take effect against him, Sepher was foolish, but also very paranoid. Jovan believed his intentions had doomed him, perhaps this wasn't the right opportunity. Just when the pain was beginning to get unbearable, it began to subside. The dark entity stirred deep within Jovan's heart. "We are one, and she cannot harm us." It whispered to Jovan. No one suspected as Jovan placed the device near Sepher Baenre, in her audience chamber. "What further deeds is my little pet human up to now" asked Sepher as Jovan walked out of the chamber. Looking her straight in the eyes, "Your power is great, and I will ensure your infamy endures. I have made your enemies your allies, and now I go to guarantee there loyalty is complete." No one could lie as well as Jovan. Sepher searched his face, even inacting a magical device searching for any sign of betrayal. Unlike the times before, her magic failed. "Carry on my little puppet." Jovan didn't look back when he heard the explosion, he didn't even turn around as the priests screamed that their mighty priestess was dead. A smile slowly spread across his face. He met the inter dimensional travelers at there portal and with only a slight glance over his shoulder he stepped through. On the other side he fealt the magic that the priestess held over him vanish. "We are free" the dark entity howled inside of Jovan. Jovan's still fears that some dark god will come and try to hold dominion over him, and he strengthens the connection with the dark entity inside of him trying to find his own path to immortality. Jovan has discovered that by using the entity inside of him as a focus, he can channel power from the faithful. He has used the skills and knowledge that he gained working for Sepher to set up cults in his new home. Now he gathers power and energy to safely traverse into hell and set up his own domain among the devils. Though the Arch fiends threaten his advancement as a mortal raised to fiend, he cannot help but to laugh at there petty descriptions of torture and pain. He has endured. He will continue to endure.

nblsprt 10-25-06, 03:39 AM	http://www.jaestudio.com/Firemage.jpg Jeung have been an incredible force for good. As the only surviving member of a secret martial monastery that taps into the spiritual power of the ancient wyrm silver dragon that founded the martial art millenia ago he had access to a great power and started his life with the intention of using it to great ends. A lifetime of failures and loss however has led Jeung to a great darkness. His monastery was destroyed by a dark wizard who coveted the powers of the dragon's fist monks, Jeung barely escaped with his life, but swore to find the wizard and avenge his brothers and sisters of the order. However the trek through the monastery was deep in the dessert, and Jeungs trek out nearly killed him. He literally crawled from the wasteland on his last leg, only to be picked up by slavers who captured him easily in his weekend condition. Once he regained his strength he made his escape, easily overcoming the guards with his bare fists and bounding the twenty foot wall as easily as a cat climbs a tree. Once he reached the other side he caught the attention of the archers who protected the slavers fortress. The archers couldn't pierce Jeungs whirling defense and he danced through his martial arts kata and deflected every arrow launched at him. Jeung strode over a hill out of site from the archers and turned to walk away. In frustration one of the archers launched an arrow over the hill, knowing there was no chance of hitting its mark. If only that archer would have gone to retrieve that wayward arrow he would have learned that he struck his mark true... The arrow had pierced Jeung in the back and punctured through a lung. Jeung, after a daring escape, and with his adventure only beginning, lay on the ground slowly drowning in his own blood. http://ic3.deviantart.com/fs7/p/2006/344/b/b390d7e8441e756e.jpg Jason Engle Perhaps a kindly god looked in on Jeung and took pity on him. If so, then that god was frivolous and didn't bother to continue looking after Jeung. Or maybe the fates wished to weave a truly tragic tale in there fabric and chose that poor monk to materialize this story. In any case, Jeung did not die with that arrow piercing his back. A group of gypsies passing by had noticed Jeung's escape, and decided to help him. Specifically the gypsy chief's daughter, Mayra. She collected Jeungs body and cared him back to health. Everyone knew of the immediate affections she had for him, Jeung was unsure of his feelings, but felt a liking to Mayra that he hadn't known for any other person. The Gypsys moved from town to town showing of their entertaining talents, and gleaning items from the crowds that gathered to watch. Jeung used his martial training and developed a routine with Mayra, one that drew a large crowd. This is when Jeung noticed that the gypsys supplanted there income by stealing from the crowds that gathered to watch. Jeung was appaled, but torn. These people helped him in so many ways, and we was begining to understand his feelings for Mayra even more. He immediatly demanded that the clan stop stealing. Well, the chief was wise and knew that Jeung was strong and talented, if Jeung would mary his daughter he offered to returned the items they stole. The chief figured that eventually Jeung would come around. Jeung was initiated into the clan, and he and Mayra were wed. As the son-in-law to the chief Jeung took on the Mantle of protector of the clan, and he swore to protect the clan no matter what. The chief knew that the more interested in the clans protection Jeung was the more likely he would turn a blind eye to their minor activities. Jeung soon learned that the fates had determined that he have a very sad life. While the caravan was traveling between towns a group of hobgoblins and bugbears ambushed it. Although Jeung fought fiercely and was actually begining to defeat the leaders of the attackers, their numbers were just too large. When finally Jeung believed his battle to be won, a black dragon emerged and threatened the entire balance. Just then an old man from Jeungs past appeared with a devilish offer. The dark wizard that destroyed his monastery appeared to Jeung in a vision. "Look upon your new friends and family, and see them melted away by the breath of the black dragon! Submit to me your life of service and I will give you the power to save them. I will offer your new clan protection as you travel the world at my bidding. Do you accept Last of the Dragon Fists?" The dark wizard coveted the power of the Monks, since he couldn't hold it himself, he would wield the one who could, as a carpenter wields a hammer. Seeing no other way, Jeung submitted. With the backing of the dark wizard Jeung defeated the dragon, and the dark wizard subjugated the goblinoids. The gypsy clan was saved and whisked away by the wizard to dwell in the woods near his tower, and Jeung was pitted against all the wizards enemies. Jeung's strength grew as his skills were used to assassinate the dark wizards young rivals. However Jeung's heart began to harden, only Mayra brought joy to his life. Jeung began to plan his revenge against the dark wizard. The wizard was prepairing a dark ritual to attain immortality. The wizard was sending Jeung out on quests to retrieve materials to complete this ritual and Jeung knew that he couldn't allow the wizard to succeed. However the only time that the wizard would be vulnerable was during the ritual itself. Jeung plotted and planned his revenge. Stopping an assassination attempt against the dark wizard by a young sorcerer to further gain the wizards trust. This young sorcerer would not take his failure lightly though. He had his own reasons for hating the dark wizard, and now he hated Jeung for stopping him. Perhaps the young sorcerer struck out on a mighty quest for power, one that bards would sing about for its heroics, or maybe he made a pact with evil devils for powers beyond mortals, but whatever the case this is Jeung's tale, this young sorcerer did find great power, for the next time he battled Jeung and the dark wizard he layed them both low. Jeung would have been content with his own defeat as long as he was free of the dark wizards bonds, but the young sorcerer was not content. He stole the only thing that mattered to Jeung. As he flew away with Mayra unconscious in his arms, he laughed and taunted that Jeung would never find hapiness again. In the years that followed Jeung did not feel any hapiness. He grew bitter that he was not able to implement his revenge against the dark wizard, and blamed the young sorcerer for stealing everything from him. He hunted tirelessly for the young wizard, hoping for Mayra's safe return. The young wizard had studied Jeung, and returned to the site of the ruined monastery. Their he brainwashed Mayra and through some un-kown divination technique, instilled in her the dragon fist technique. In fact Mayra's training was far more complete than Jeungs, and her ability to manifest the dragons flame was so complete that young sorcerer was able to use her a powerful tool as he built a legend for himself. Jeung finally came upon the young sorcerer as he hunted for an artifact weapon to use against his enemies. As Jeung approached the young sorcerer with hatred and rage building up in him he was blocked by a masked warrior woman wearing red. He battled her with all his strength, but he found that her technique was too good to defeat. Determined not to loose and to defeat this opponent no matter what, Jeung surged with the full energy of the dragon. Sapping power from his opponent and turning it against her. With savage fury he pounded his foe until she could barely stand. With one ferocious kick he snapped her neck. As his opponent fell to the ground, her mask fell away, revealing the horror of Jeung's actions. His wife lay dead by his own hands. His fury spent, Jeung knelt in defeat. In tapping the full power of the dragon, Jeung became a very powerful being, but in using it to kill his own wife he wasn't capable of controling it. His mind slipped and he sit there for several minutes incapable of action. The young sorcerer smiled. One of the most powerful mortal forces ever sit before him, powerless and in a state distressed mentality. The young sorcerer cast illusion magic that blocked most of Jeung's memories. Jeung allowed it to happen, even though he could have easily resisted. Now Jeung sits behind the Young sorcerers throne, blank eyed. Awaiting the sorcerer's instructions. No attacker against the sorcerer has ever made it past Jeung, and several of the sorcerers pwerful enemies have mysteriously died, showing evidence of burning bruises, non suspect that the murky eyed Jeung Wang as a living embodiment of the ancient dragon that mastered a form of martial art long ago. http://www.jaestudio.com/Confrontation.jpg Jason Engle Teacher http://www.jaestudio.com/DojiReju1.jpg Jason Engle

She has never spoken of the horrors she faced in the wet depths of Diszmaldru's dungeons. Though a princess by blood, her kingdom was destroyed before her birth by the Great Wyrm Green whos name she will not utter. The Ancient Dragon favored high elves as young maidens favor expensive chocolates. The warriors of her kingdom, the King among them, died quickly in combat. They were the lucky ones. The surviving women and children were plucked form the woods one by one, thrown into the holding cells to await their fierce but coveted release from the Dragon Hell the Gods call Krynn. No god could hear her in that darkness but she prayed all the same. Prayed to the scream of the little ones and her dying sisters, the Dragon liked to hear their screams. She did not pray for a hero. She prayed the Wyrm would take her next and end the noise, the smell of rot and vomit. The frequent visit from vile orkish prison guards. She heard the key in the lock and smelled the fungus on the wet fur, the gritting of teeth and cruel anticipation, they liked it when she fought but she was too weak now. The Dragon Slayer Arlem Tem came for the ancient Wyrm at dawn with the most powerful mercenaries in Ansalon. The Red Rider Bearheart's sunsword ripped through the depths, the heavy dwarven Waraxe of Ironbeard Hextor cleaved a bleeding path of vermin to the elf cells. Arlem looked into the eyes of the twin Bugbears dragging the girl through the muck, Azuredge, raging with blue flame tore them inhalf, returning then to the hands of the hate filled slayer even before the corpses could fall. He pulled her from the sludge and lifted her to the light. Only then did she see him.

The girl has never left his side. Even as her first born was given as payment to the mysterious old Wizard who taught her the arts, she has never questioned him. Despite his friendship and alliance to the evil Dragon Lord Bayard and the endless presence of the hated dragons in his courtyard, she has never faltered. Three sons and two daughters she has given him, with the mysterious pure magic entity Britannia at her side, she provides a massive spell arsenal to protect her king, beloved husband and savior from the wrath of his epic quarry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brittania http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/PoF_Gallery/96805.jpg Francis Tsai Mirya's elven magic was weak at best after her liberation from the Green. A strange old Mystic Theurge called Merlin came to her from the north, offering her training and power in exchange for her first born prince in service to him. Both she and her King agreed and Mirya's arcane training began in ernest. But soon the epic Merlin would bestow on the Queen a gift that even he had not foreseen. Brittania is one of three mystic entities known to have sprung forth from the dreaming mind of Merlin the Wise, for it seems that the old druid is so powerful that in a dreaming state, his dreams can sometime become real. Brittania is a veiled entity of pure magic, possessing arcane knowledge and ability rivaling many gods. He is Mirya's constant companion and protector. While he is within 200 ft of the Queen, she has access to all arcane spell lists known by Brittania (Brittania knows alot), as if she had memorized them herself. The spells form in her mind as she needs them. While she is still limited to the power her body can use without rest, Brittania is not. He is untiring and seemingly unexhaustible in power. His only known weakness is dispel magic and anti magic zones. Removing Britannia's hood and looking on his true form causes permanent blindness in all who see him without save, unless the watcher is divine rank 1 or above.

Arlem 10-25-06, 04:08 AM	http://www.jaestudio.com/LordOfTheClans.jpg Burning Realms campaign Player- Ken, DM NPC Out of sight is out of mind: Long have man and woman-kind Heavy of will and light of mood, Taken away our wheaten food, Taken away our Altar stone; Hail and rain and thunder alone, And red hearts we turn to grey, Are true till Time gutter away. -W.B. Yeats (from the Tain Bo Culann) Who is the Nephilim Cuchulainn? It is soon told. Born Shedanda mac Sualtim of Dun Dalgan, Setanta's true lineage and birth right was long kept a secret. Raised as the son of the chariot cheiftain Sualtim, one of the King's elite Red Branch knights, Shedanda was in actuality the bastard son of the Lightbringer, the Irish Sun God Lugh Lamphada. Lugh is half elven of the angelic Tuatha race who fled the Creator, bringing their sky ships to earth and burning them there. Lugh's father was a Formorian Giant, the demon God known throughout history as Baal of the evil eye. So then, Shedanda is nephilim, of the celtic men born of the breeding of gods with mortal women, but because of his grandfather Baal, he is one part human, one part angel and one part demon. Long have the elfs and the humans mistrusted each other. Bille, the all powerful god of creation and destruction had given life to both races but there was never love between them. When war raged across the cosmos, the Tuatha fled their creator to earth, burning their sky ships in the hope that he and his executioners would not track them there. The island they had chosen was lush and fruitful, but it was populated by giants. The elves concquered the Firbolg and the Fomorians, taking the island for themselves...until the humans came. Long wars followed until the elves were driven back, using their magic to open a dimensional rift to the spirit world where they can escape the powerful human heros and share the land, unseen from their dimension. But the humans and the elves have never forgotten their wars, nor do the elves stay on their side of the portals, returning from time to time to interfere in the affairs of men. It was the wedding day of Dectera, sister of King Conchubar in Ulster. As her attending girls prepared her to wed the hero Sualtim, she reached for her glass of wine. Lugh Lamphada mac Kian came to her cup then in the shape of a multicolored fly and she unknowingly drank him down in her wine. Immediately she saw him in the dreams of her mind and the angelic elven god of the Tuatha asked her not to marry Sualtim, but to come with him instead, to his castle in the Fey dimension. The king's druids could sense the powerful magic of Lugh. He and his warriors shattered the door to her chambers but the god had turned dectera and her maidens into birds and as the men rushed in, they saw only the last of the birds escaping through the open window. Three years passed while Ulster mourned. It was harvest season of the third year when another flock of birds came down to the earth in their millions and devoured all the crops of men, that they might not have food for the winter. Enraged, the king and his champions set out in their chariots to destroy the plague of birds and they persued the unearthly flock to the valley of Brugh na Boyne on the plain of Morhevna where they spent the night. There, they found a strange castle where there had not been one before. The king had given no permission for a stronghold to be built here, so he went to the gates to demand an audience with the owner. "He is not here" said the door man "but my master has prepared a feast to welcome you and hopes you will stay for the night." So they feasted and drank, and they were so pleased that they asked the servant to bring the woman of the house, that they might thank her. "I cannot, for she is this moment in child birth and will not be disturbed." The men became drunk and slept in comfort, but when the sun rose, they woke not on cushions but in winter snow, with their animals next to them. The mysterious castle was gone, as if it had never been there. In their confusion, the sound of a new born child drew them to the king's chariot. There in the hay, was the king's lost sister Dectera, holding her newborn child. Shedanda was raised in part by all the great heroes and poets of Ulster, and trained in combat from the age of five by the epic war master Fergus mac Roth, the unequaled champion of the King and the greatest hero in the land. When Shedanda killed a legendary dire hound with his bare hands at the age of five, the arch druid Cathbad gave him the warrior name 'Cuchulainn,' the Hound. When Cuchulainn had learned all that Fergus could teach him, the old king asked Conchubar to send him to the island of shadows in Alba, where the mysterious warrior woman Scathatch could teach him to be an epic hero. In our campaigns, Joes fighter 'Thefarest Sayin of Mulhorundi ' must do battle with Cuchulainn and his famous 'Gae Bulga' (his father's invincible spear) on the island of shadows. While Thefarest did not win, neither did he lose. Thefarest became the only person to ever to survive the attack of the Gae Bulga. the Morrigan http://www.gamasutra.com/galleries/visual_art/matthew_armstrong/MSA_work2.jpg Matthew Armstrong Morrigan, the Battle Raven is the powerful Death Goddess of the Tuatha and the Celtic Grim Soul Reaper. She often takes the form of a raven and can be found on the battle fields of mortals. It is said that she enjoys watching men kill eachother in large numbers over ridiculous circumstances. She often creates these situations for her amusement and to keep the balance of nature by controlling the stain of man, keeping their numbers down so that the earth might live on. The Morrigan was impressed by Cuchulainn's prowess and offered him her love, but was rejected. Furious, she has both hated and desired him ever since, causing great trouble for him and has tried to kill him on numerous occassions. But when Maeve, the 3 wierd sisters and the armies of Ireland waged war for the sole purpose of killing him, it was the Morrigan who came to warn him. She wept at his death as she lit on his lifeless shoulder in the form of a raven.
Arlem 10-25-06, 04:11 AM	http://www.jaestudio.com/ValleyOfKings.jpg Player: Eric Hernandez, DM Jason Hernandez Iron Beard Hextor Wornhammer has been the battle raging berserker madman of King Arlem's campaign from the very beginning. The Dwarven stronghold 'Hextor's Climb' in the Dragon Jaw mountain range of Wyvern's Crest is named after him. The former champion of Thor, Hextor died in combat against the Thunder God Zeus and met his eternal death in combat while battling Jormungander in the Battle of Ragnarok. Berserker Dwarves in the Dragon Jaw mountains still drink Gut Shaker Mead (rotten goat's milk, hard liquor, hot peppers and dragon bile) in his honor.

Afte a series of wars and personal combat in the rage pits, the berserker lords who followed Hextor to glory in the service of Arlem have accepted the young fighter as their king. Anvil returned to Iron Mountain after the death of his father who had sent him into the world to 'earn his beard.' Red EyePriest19 http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/hoh_gallery/91983.jpg The late Hextor Wornhammer was a powerful and nearly unstoppable dwarven Berserker but he would never travel without his close friend Redeye, nor would educated adventurers commission his services without the famous dwarven priest at his side. The mysterious Red Eye almost never spoke and maintained a strange hold over his Battle Raging companion. When Hextor raged, he grew to twice his size and his already epic strenght tripled but he would kill anyone in sight, friend or foe. Only Redeye had the spells to calm him. A first line shock troop in constant war against epic giants and gods, Hextor has fallen many times and Red eye has always been there to return him from the dead until Zeus himself sent the dwarven hero to the halls of Odin.

Arlem 10-25-06, 04:17 AM	http://www.jaestudio.com/CityofTwilight.jpg DM: 'Joe' Thornton Player: Ken I'M RICH, BE'ATCH!!! A new player in our newest campaign, to be edited as I level him up in joe's game. Genkashi is a young but highly trained shinobi ninja whose origins are not known. Trained by unanimous ninja assassins in a hidden temple to the foreign God 'Shar,' Genkashi was born with a powerful bloodline (Naruto based campaign) that gives him the racial traits of a fiend with the appearance of a human. This bloodline makes Genkashi immune to poison and consequently, extremely useful to Shar assassins. Currently training alongside the elven/vampire hybrid, Raku, Genkashi wears a rope of garlic around his neck, a flask of holy water and a magical vase of flowing waters connected to a portable hole placed in an unknown resevoir. Genkashi specializes in the use of ninja fire magic, wears a silver brace around his neck and spends a great deal of his earnings on magical protection techniques to remain prepared against his untrustworthy team member. Profile Since their mission was so important, Genkashi and Raku were funded by the leaders of their government, giving them exceptional and nearly unlimited resources from the very start. Genkashi also commissioned a powerful psionicist to surgicaly implant mystical enhancements into his mind (Sasuke's Sharingan) This new power cost him half of his levels but imbued him with enhanced agility, fortitude and intuition (+5 to all saves, AC, and attacks). Any further uses of Genkashi's sharingan remain hidden. Combat Genkashi is a master of martial combat. Although a trained ninja, he mostly uses his weapons only when needed during spy missions. Genkashi turns down assassin missions, preferring any opportunity to hone his formidible combat prowess to cowardly back stabbings or cut throating while his mark slumbers. Though not a true assassin, Genkashi excels in stealth and information gathering. Few people ever guess his true intentions and he is always dangerous. His preference to killing his mark in combat has no basis in honor but exists only to test his prowess and Genkashi is not above using poison against poweful adversaries. Black Lotus and Dragon Bile are his toxins of choice and he crafts them in his own laboratory, often imbueing them with magical energies to enhance their potency. Genkashi's martial style relys on multiple attacks combined with his sneak attack ability. Though he is deadly on his own, he most often attacks flanked opponents, using his sneak attack bonus in order to remove them quickly. Genkashi specializes in eliminating arcane spellcasters and psionicists first, then attacking their fighter allys. He prefers to leave cleric combatants to Raku, avoiding their dangerous touch spells. Shar's elite fighting monastery emphasizes speed and survivability. Genkashi almost always relys on his flurry of blows ability, trusting multiple attacks to do more damage. His psychic implants and hasted attacks combined with a monk belt and high level permanancy spells make him accurate and deadly. With Boots of Speed and using the Combat Reflexes, Combat Instincts and Counter Attack Feats with his enhanced Dexterity bonus, Genkashi has atleast 5 attacks per round and up to 21 attacks a round are possible for him, allowing him many opportunities to land a critical blow. Combining the Improved Grapple, Clinch and Vexing Flanker Feats, Genkashi gets an additional +8 to hit flanked opponents without risking an attack of opportunity, taking full advantage of the extra damage from his Shinobi sneak attack class ability.

Arlem 10-25-06, 04:24 AM	http://www.jaestudio.com/Evil.jpg Jason Engle Player: Ken (NPC) DM; Joe, Dragonlance campaign Servant and epic cohort to the Drow Priestess Sepher Baenre, the feared Reverand is also Sepher's ambassador to the death God Chemosh who grants the Drow Priestess of Takhisis access to the undead domain and necromancy spells. He is also Sepher's Champion and leader of the Church of Chemosh in Krillons Dragon City. Little is known of Reverand Mardo and little can be learned as the dark reverand never speaks. Sermons in the Church of Chemosh are voiced from under the dark veil of accompanying death knights who seem to serve him without question through a mental link provided by Chemosh himself. It is rumored that Mardo was once a powerful Paladin in service to some unnamed God of truth and light, but though his church prospered under Mardo's fierce blade, the Paladin's methods were far from just. Mardo seemed unable to discern the innocent from the wicked, butchering men, women and children with no sign of remorse. When finaly the church questioned his ethics, Mardo slew his accusers, claiming they were stained by evil and corrupt. When his powers were removed and he was asked to atone, Mardo questioned the will of his God, accusing him of hypocricy and evil that mirrored and exceeded what he had been trained to fight. Furious, the church stripped him of his armor and had Mardo executed. Mardo was burned alive as an example to other blasphemers, but that was not the end. The God Chemosh had taken an interest in him, restoring his form from the ashes and offering him a pact. Now Mardo uses the skills that his church taught him, in service of Chemosh. Chemosh fears the power of the dark Goddess Takhisis and the rising power of her favored priestess Sepher Baenre. Mardo is an ambassador of Chemosh, sent to serve Sepher in her church in order to gain favor from the immensely powerful Goddess whom Sepher serves. An excellent combatant, Mardo is always accompanied by 6 hooded Death Knights and has a fear aura DC 23. In addition to being Sepher's champion, Mardo's job is to uphold the laws of Sepher's church as doing anything less might risk the Night Lord's wrath. Mardo has taken a vow of silence but sometimes speaks through a telepathic link with his death knights. He spends his free time torturing enemies of the church and experimenting with their corpses. Using his own power and the spells of his priests combined with the energies stored in ancient artifacts in his church, Mardo is capable of raising vast undead armies in service to his church and the church of Takhisis at short notice, adding to the fearsome strength of Krillan's black dragon army. Sepher is a cruel mistress, guarding his power closely against her own. No one in the service of Chemosh or Takhisis can be trusted completely, but Mardo has never faltered. The powerful blackguard seems content for now To get to Sepher, one must first go through Reverand Mardo and his death kights. It is thought that Mardo may also be an Avatar of Chemosh. If this is true then his powers far exceed his experience in life. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reverand Mardo http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/dmg35_gallery/DMG35_PG182_WEB.jpg STR: 22 DEX: 18 CON: 20 INT: 13 WIS: 15 CHR: 18 hp: 239 AC: 37 FORT: 29 REF: 24 WILL: 21 FEATS: Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Cleaving Charge, Trail of Blood, Combat Reflexes, Combat Instincts, Improved Sunder, Improved Critical (Greatsword), Frightful Presence, Divine Weapon WEAPONS: +5 Ghost touch Great sword of Keen Wounding, dmg 3d6, Critical 17-20 x 2 Assassin dagger +3, short sword +3 ARMOR: Shadow Full Plate +5, Amulet of Armor +4, Ring of Deflection +2, Steel Shield +3 POSSESSIONS: Ring of the Dead (+6 class level to all evil cleric and necromancy spells), Ring of Greater Blink, Cloak of resistance +5 Companions: Fiendish heavy warhorse (Full Plate +1) 6 death knights (MM) Special Abilities: Rebuke Undead (8), Aura of Despair, Frightful Pressence Spells: 1st-True strike, featherfall -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Death Knight http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/PoF_Gallery/96804.jpg franz Vohwinkel to get to Sepher Baenre, one must go through Reverand Mardo.

Arlem 10-25-06, 06:16 PM	http://www.fractalmatter.com/images/s9.jpg Art by Marc Silvestri The Blue Rider crested the summit of Hextor's Climb to view the Armies of T'Chala and their merciless Red General. The rising sun was behind him, raising his head as if eager to view the deaths of men. Apollo's Rays sliced through the grays of dawn like a scythe, bathing the valley with light across oceans of horse and armor. The battle could not be won...not here. Kaserin's army alone boasted 5 million elite, well supplied fighting men. Their leader was said to be a God. Arlem would not send his forces to be broken against such odds, but neither would he suffer the loss of his people and lands to tyrants. The Red General stood on her summit with the sun behind her, watching, only half interested as her rider galloped toward her and hastily dismounted, bowing on armored knees before her. "My lord, the King does not yield but neither do his armies advance. He challenges you to the death. Mortal Kombat..." Kasserin was unmoved. "If he fells you, the red armies pull back. If the king falls, his armies are yours to command." Behind her great helm, Kasserin smiled. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://abcovers.free.fr/images/stories/marcsilvestri/variant2.jpg Str: 28 Dex: 30 Con: 23 Int: 17 Wis: 18 Chr: 21 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://homepage.mac.com/antallan/images/turner/rs.jpg Art by Michael Turner KASSERIN'S AXE http://www.wizards.com/magic/images/cardart/CSP/Lovisa_Coldeyes.jpg Art by Brian Snoddy Kasserin's Axe is an epic weapon built by the God Haephestus to complement the defensive power of the peerless Armor of Mars. Popular rumor suggests that Kasserin is one of the feared daughters of Aries and that both the armor and the weapon were handed down from the War God himself. The axe is a +5 Sundering Artifact that has the epic ability to instantly drain the magical energies tied to both items and creatures, with a successful touch attack (Kasserin touches very hard). Each contact drains one enhancement bonus from a magical weapon or enhanced armor. For example, If Kasserin touched your +8 Platemail 3 times, the plate would be permanently reduced to +5. Five more attacks and the armor is drained to masterwork. Masterwork armor thus touched would be instantly sundered, ignoring all the usual sundering rules. Each blow can permanently drain 20 charges from a wand, 10 charges from a rod or scepter, 5 charges from a staff and can instantly destroy wonderous items and similar devices. The Axe can be used to destroy walls of force and similar barriers on contact. Kasserin's axe cannot destroy major artifacts but it can drain their magic for one year without save. Enchanted creatures lose spells as if they were struck with a greater dispel magic area effect, no save. Spellcasters touched by the axe lose one spell from their highest prepared spell slot, per touch and cannot recover it for 1 day. Magical spell like abilities are lost instantly and recovered after a day of healing and rest. The axe is feared across the planes as it can be used to instantly destroy nearly any object, magical or normal. When Kasserin comes for you, there is not alot that can stop her.

Our characters were essentialy Gods, so I based Lugh on the Irish Sun God Lugh the Long arm. This PC charachter masters fire, wind, water, electricity and earth, with a whole lot of skill points. Think of an epic level AVATAR from the popular air bender cartoon, a chaotic good Captain Planet on roids, or Marvel's Iceman-Sandman-human torch-and storm all wrapped up into one epic maniac. Basically, Lugh can use any spell (from any list) that can be explained with natural energy but he is limited to energy spells. His save DC and Spell Penetration Dc is enhanced by his charisma modifier. Lugh can draw from arcane, Divine, or psionic spell lists from any world as long as he can explain how he did it. (He can fly by increasing the air pressure beneath him while decreasing the pressure above him, he can cast the harm spell by vibrating the water molecules in a living host until their blood boils, he can cast whither by forcing water out of an enemy, charm monster by increasing the oxygen in its blood thus making it feel euphoric, anything the DM would allow-so there was almost no spell that Lugh could not use through his elemental mastery.

Arlem 02-08-07, 01:06 AM	..... http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/leof_gallery/86711.jpg Known only as Jillian, this seemingly unremarkable halfling female has no known origin or family to speak of. An orphan on the streets of Chessenta, she cast her lot with minor thiefs guilds for survival. When the exhiled prince of Mulhorundi and the warrior baron of the Stonelands in Cormyr happened to cross her path, Jillian was quick to latch onto them. Though she seems childlike and innocent, she is in fact a coniving murderous thief and profesional killer with a mind like a steel trap, but even this is only a fraction of her true aspect. You only see what Jillian allows you to see. She is an abandoned daughter of The Shadow God 'Mask.' Jillian's true motives and workings remain a mystery. Little is known about her past but she has recently emerged from the shadows with the demigods Thefarest and Milaesh, using the epic fighters to murder all resistance in the twelve houses of Chessents, infiltrating, collapsing and completely rebuilding all organized crime factions in her country of origin and pressuring surrounding crime empires to play along or face the same end. Her wealth and ambition are without limit and as Toril rots under the oppression of demonic hordes, mass abberation invasions and the fiendish cataclysm brought about by the failure of the chosen to seal the Temple of Elemental Evil, Jillian grows ever wealthier and more powerful while Faerun burns around her. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jillian Rogue 20/Shadowdancer 10/Assassin 10 Small-size outsider (Evil) Divine Rank: 5 Hit Dice: 20d8+140 (outsider) plus 19d10+133 (Rogue) plus 10d6+70 (shdw dncr) plus 10d6 +70 (Assassin) (820) Initiative: +24, (Jillian always moves first) +20 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative, Supreme Initiative Speed: 60 ft.

When passing within 5 ft of a trap, she makes a Search check to notice it as if she had been actively searching for it. Jillian can assess the exact value of any treasure she can see and immediately determine what any creature is carrying and where each carried item is located. Divine Shield: As a free action, Jillian creates a shadow shield that lasts 10 minutes and stops the listed amount of damage from any source, including a Divine Blast. Once the shield has stopped that much damage, it collapses. If desired, she can adjust the shield to let in damage that would not affect her anyway. The effect of multiple Divine Shields do not stack. Divine Sneak Attack: Jillian's Sneak attacks deal an additional 3d6 points of damage, and all of her attacks of opportunity are considered sneak attacks. also, Jillian can flank or catch flat-footed (and thus sneak attack) any opponent whose Divine Rank does not exceed her own.

Jillian can perform up to 5 such free actions each round. KRULL http://www.soyouwannasellascript.com/images/reviews/krull1.jpg Jillian found this shiny weapon deep beneath a dormant volcano in an umberhulk catacomb. A casting of Legend Lore and Divination magic revealed it to be a living artifact that obeys the will of its chosen wielder. Appearance: A heavy five pointed hand thrown projectile with five keen, retractable blades (the weapon can do slashing, bludgeoning or piercing damage as the thrower wills). The weapon weighs 5 pounds but seems feather lite in the hands of its chosen wielder. It is composed of an unknown metal that resembles a hard adamantium mithral alloy. Encased in pure gold, the star holds a large and priceless diamond in its center. The diamond is bordered by 5 emeralds and further embelished with five ornate jade veins depicting magical, alien hierogliphic markings, spiraling outward from the center to the base of five rubies set at each retractable blade. Powers: Krull is a +5 Keen Speed Returning Dancing Distance Abberation Bane Glaive of Penetration. The weapon doues 2d6 +5 dmg against medium creatures and 5d6+10 damage against abberations. The strange metal blades ignore all forms of damage reduction (similar to a ki powered monk weapon). A powerful artifact, the weapon has an intelligence of 5 and while it cannot communicate with its wielder, it can read its wielder's thoughts and respond to her will. The star does not need to return to the wielder's hand but can attack independently as long as the wielder makes a DC 12 concentration check. The wielder must have one hand with all fingers extended outward, to guide the star in this way. The star can rotate quickly, acting as a rotary saw to slice through any object of less than +4 enchantment. The weapon is indestructible by all known means. Weapon Feats Krull is an intelligent weapon that can make attacks on its own. With its holders will, Krull attacks using its known Feats Far Shot, Improved Critical, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot and Shot on the Run. Krull uses its holder's intelligence bonus to dmg instead of their strength or dex bonus.

Arlem 02-15-07, 09:45 PM	Young Chupha, Priest of the Red Lady http://www.jaestudio.com/StormKnight.jpg Jason Engle Player: David Baldridge DM: Ken, Burning Realms Campaign Raised since birth in the church of the Red Lady to be a champion against evil, Chupha is remarkable as a priest in that his warlike church allows him the use of blades in his arsenal. A 'red knight' in the order of the red Lady, Chuppa is an excellent strategist and commander, wielding a holy longsword, full plate armor and a heavy warhorse trained by the church, Chupha is often mistaken for a paladin or a knight although he has no martial training other than that provided to the war priests of his church. At the young age of 16, Chupha was sent by the archbishops to monitor and accompany a dangerous young prince from the kingdom of Skuld in Mulhorundi. The prince was an exile, heir to his country's throne and hunted by his pharoah. Prince Thefarest was also rumored to be the reincarnation of the Sun God Ra. Chupha offered his services to Thefarest Sayin and Millaesh Ilvelios. In return, they were to accompany the priest to the temple of Elemental Evil, where his church had commissioned them to seal a demonic portal there. Upon arriving at this temple, the group learned that a strange cult was working hard to awaken 'the One God,' the powerful creator of all things. The cultists believed that if they could awaken the sleeping God whom the present Gods had worked so hard to seal, then he would remake all of creation, granting them immortality in the process. But the chosen heroes left the temple and went on an adventure that they believed would further their own personal goals. As a result, the God is presently awakening, destroying the entire multiverse as they watch. Now the group is caught in an epic adventure to put down the gods who hold the temple, and put the One God under before he regains full conciousness.

Thieves Tools - 30 gp, 1 lb. Broken Sword- 0 gp, 5 lb. Fishing Rod- 0 gp, 0 lb. Holy Symbol, Wooden (amaranth) - 1 gp, 0 lb. Total Carried: 58 lb. Appearance: Corvus, or Cor as he prefers to be called by his friends, has long black hair, pale features, and a thin long nose. His attire seems utilitarian, but very old fashioned- almost to the point of disrepair. A kind of studded jacket hangs from his shoulders and a cloth sash hides his face. The thinning brownish fabrics hint at a his lightly muscled form, and they seem to fit poorly on his smallish body. The rusted sickle bound at his waist and the crossbow hanging from his back appear well used. His sunken black pupils remind you of a deep pit. Hanging from a copper chain encircling his neck is a simple wooden amulet in the form of some six petal flower. Background: Cor is a Karasu- a kind of human/crow shape-shifter. Cor was born into service under his Tengu grandfather as a spy and informant for many years... he dreamed of freedom, but feared the retribution the House would inflict upon him for disobedience. Cor's skills in the hidden arts were recognized and his status and renown in the House grew. As a rite of passage into his ancestor's personal guard, Cor was given a special mission. His orders were to kidnap the daughter of a Daimyo in a nearby land. This Samurai's name was Tokui Shin, and he was honored throughout the region as a hero of the last war. Tokui Shin's fame was matched only by the renown of his daughter- Karei's beauty was haled throughout the kingdom as that of a goddess's. For miles suitors lined the roads, if only to gain a glance of her face. Master Tokui was a just and honorable warrior, and refused to deal in any form of evil. When he was approached by the Oni (Cor's Tengu Ancestor) he vehemently rejected the monster’s demands... that he give up his daughter to it. Enraged, the Tengu laid a curse upon Tokui and fled. Tokui, fearing for his daughter's safety, kept her under lock and key, and did not allow her face to be seen by any but trusted suitors and friends. Cor laid a plan: That he would disguise himself as a suitor, and infiltrate the Daimyo's heavily guarded home to steal his daughter away. But Corvus ignored a factor in his plan- the daughter's beauty and kindness were great enough to shake even his dead and withered heart. Under guise of a foreign noble, Corvus spent many months living closely with the Shin family. After a time, Karei began to return his affections, and love blossomed. They made plans to wed, and with Tokui's permission, the ceremony's date was set. But two black eyes were still watching... the Tengu Lord knew of his grandson's treachery, and laid a plan of his own. On the day of the wedding Corvus and Karei stood together, and just as they were about to consummate their love, the daitengu struck. His blade was meant for Cor, but in an instant Karei pushed Corvus aside. He stabbed Karei with the poisoned sword, and she fell to the ground as though dead. Tokui in a rage slayed the demon, his katana cleaving it in half, but the deed was done. Karei was dying as the evil in her wound spread... His true self revealed, Corvus prostrated before the samurai, and begged for his life. Tokui would have killed the Karasu, but Corvus's knowledge of Tengu poisons could serve in reviving his daughter. Corvus tried everything he could, with the help of the best doctors, but nothing could seem to reawaken Karei from her sleep. The knife that stabbed her was obsidian, and tainted with the evil of the darklands... and even for the hard work of the wise women, Karei's days were numbered. Only one herb has the power to heal such an evil in all the world... a petal of the Amaranth, the eternal flower. Said to bloom only in moonlight on the highest mountain peaks, it's holy purity can wash away the evil that infects Karei. Setting out into the far world, Cor searches in hope of finding the cure that will save his love... Personality: Cor spent his entire life under the dominion of his house and grandfather, so the newfound freedom of travel and adventure seem like a pleasure in themselves. Cor likes making new friends, but his ultimate goal in finding a cure can sometimes conflict with the party's desire for rest or downtime. Being a crow, he has a disposition to match. Some find his familiarity with death discomforting, and his outlook can seem depressing. Cor also enjoys fishing, and lying in fields gazing at the sky. Quirks: Cor doesn't trust people that don't speak or can't remember his name. He also doesn't like putting his life in the hands of suicidal maniacs (aka paladins).
