RatFlail OF DOOM!!!!
10-26-04, 08:00 PM Im kinda young and my concepts of fits and doesn't is kinda off but im DMing a 7th level party of 4. This is a scenrio i want to play but im not sure where to start or how to go through with it. Okay.
A bunch of changelings steal an airship and my friends are hired to take another airship and give chase. While on the way up my group would pass through a bunch of clouds and would be attacked by a bunch of Belker. After they get out of the clouds they notice they ended up right by the stolen airship. Now magic missles and arrows fly back and forth until the ships get close enough to be mounted. Then battle.
Is there anything i need to know like Belker wouldnt be in eberron or airships would never be handled like that or comments?

10-26-04, 08:35 PM Would the elementals not allow it? Is my concept completely wrong? Is there something i should add?
Well as story goes the airship had a baby blue dragon and the changelings wanted to sell it. The adventurers must free the blue dragon before its mom does. Of course since this information is classified so they dont learn about this until they are very high up. Who in the right mind would take an adventure to be killed by dragons? This could also lead to an adventure about what was the house of Lyrandar doing with a blue dragon?

10-26-04, 09:40 PM In general, if it is in DnD then it had a place in Eberron, so you don't have to worry about there not being a place for Belkers.

As a rule of thumb, if it makes for a good and intersting story, do it. The game is all about having fun.

The elementals are bound, and cannot control themselves because of the magic of House Lyrandar, so they wouldn't stop things. In Whispers of the Vampire's Blade two airships collide midair, and their bound elementals escape and start fighting each other.

All in all it sounds like a really cool idea.

10-26-04, 11:45 PM Sounds good. Just read up on how to control an airship with out a Dragonmark or you'll need to add someone with a Mark of Storm.
Belkers? Amazing, I've never been able to use. :thumbsup:

10-27-04, 04:37 PM Okay i just played the scenario, im going to have to save it until my friends are at least lvl 9, they nearly got killed by only two belker and then failed their jump checks and fell. O did they fall.... only one guy survived but he was a rogue and the changelings came over and started beating him with saps... maybe i made it too hard. Ima change it around and try again *my friends dont mind repeating scenerios, theyre too embarresed by the fact that they fell* :D

If you want to check out a couple of CR9 Advanced Belkers and a CR18 Advanced Belker Soul Eater in action, check out this adventure from the wizards website.
