Capn Charlie 01-23-04, 04:04 AM	My campaign is currently taking place around the liberation of Unther. To help me out, and to let all you fans of the kingdom pitch in to help your nation I am requesting stats of Untheric npcs. A force of thayan backed mercenaries and troops led by A band of foreign adventurers; Kyros Devanto: Red wizard Evoker, Captain Arkemn Trefore: Mercenary Leader, Lord Darkwolf: Turmian Druid, and Vitrael Thorikaust: Charismatic elementalist; have taken it upon themselves to win fame, glory, and wealth by liberating the land. With the spoils of adventure and thayan gold they seek to secure themselves high positions in the nobility of a larger than before unther. Like foul jackals the oppurtunistic heathens of Mulhorand have struck in our time of weakness. Just as we prepared to join the world, and forge a kingdom of peace the treacherous dogs have betrayed our trust and taken the hard won riches of our homeland like thieves in the night. Our long lost brothers to the north, having also suffered under the cruel yoke of Mulhorandi aggression and not wishing to see us suffer as well, have lent us aid in this our time of need! Where Horustep sought to see us starve, or come begging Thay has fed us. We have all eaten of their granaries. Where Anhur has seeks to slay our very Gods and punish our people with magic, Kossuth has lent us aid freely. We have all been healed by their priests and warmed by the fires that fight back the darkness. This very day has seen the liberation of Shussel. The allies of our northern friends even some gnolls and orcs, have died on field of battle to give us freedom, how can we do less? I bid you come now, all true sons and daughters of Unther! We must push back the tides of darkness that seek to smother us! The magics of my order will strengthen our defense, just as the magics of the Red Robes have smote our enemies! Come forth from hill and cave, be fed, and help us regain our freedom! -Isimud on the walls of Marsemprar, 8th of Mirtul 1373 Whether villain, PC, npc, novel character, whatever you have! Feel free to make use of any 3e product as I have dang near all of em! If your character has a love for his native land then post it here! Just a couple of suggestions :w: Heroes are great, but don't neglect lower levels! Commoner leveled slaves signing on for promises of freedom and glory, 1-3 leveled legions, 12th level commanders, 4-8th level clerics. :w: Background stories are good! Be it a single paragraph or a summation of a beloved characters adventuring career, I can use all of it! :w: I use the War Magic spells from Dragon 309 so chuck in a couple of war magic usin' priests of anhur, along with your favorite homebrew spells. Got any homebrew, pointers, or suggestions, heck evenshort stories you wrote set in the region, I am all ears. Well, care to help out me and by proxy Unther?
Capn Charlie 01-25-04, 03:56 PM	Well, at least I only have to concentrate my time on unther. The mulhorand fans are already starting to sign up. Iguess noone likes unther...
King_Sloth 01-25-04, 04:44 PM	Originally posted by Capn Charlie Well, at least I only have to concentrate my time on unther. The mulhorand fans are already starting to sign up. Iguess noone likes unther... :eek: Unther's position is not good... almost hopeless. In the FRCS it says " Unless a major nation ( Like Thay or Chessenta ) steps in Unthers days are numbered and it is likely by next campaign season Mulhorand shall complete their conquest or their sister state." So, no one wants to be on a losing side. Good luck. :king:
Capn Charlie 01-25-04, 05:08 PM	Well, that's true. In my campaign the pcs are using their stacks of gold, and thayan support, to prop up unther and lead a conquest with an air of legitimacy. They want a military campaign and I want to give it to them. And with dnd philosophy, the npcs don't have a lot of a chance. I will make them work for it, and they will have no easy victories, but the game is just no fun if the (anti?)heroes lose and have no chance of victory. The odds are in their favor so to say.
Harlamond 01-28-04, 05:04 AM	Hi there Capn Charlie, I decided to take up the task of inventing a small band of privateers to aid the Unther cause. Well unfortunately I suffer from attention deficit disorder so sorry to say I didn’t finish it but lucky for you I almost did theres only a few things missing. The things missing are labeled with <(Blank)> and also most of the characters need a brief background I started it but only got to the ship and a minor character. Wish I had a longer attention span I enjoyed creating these characters and had a good ideal on what I was going to write as there background but my mind keeps racing around and I cant stay focused enough on this topic to remember what it was so here’s what I got for you so far. Have fun with it and enjoy! :D One other thing, I hope you start another thread to let us know how the war played out, I’m curious as how the war will unfold in your campaign. Crew of the Wind Catcher (pirate/ privateer/ smuggling vessel) The Wind Catcher is known for piracy against Zhentarim/Sembian trading vessels on the western coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars also as a smuggling vessel in the Dragon Coast bringing in illicit goods into Cormyr From Westgate and now recently as a privateer vessel running under a banner and letter of Marquee for the Unther government aiding them in there resistance against the overwhelming odds of the Mulhorand forces. Galvin Waverunner a half gold elf from the Pirate Isles a very unpredictable and very resourceful captain captains the Wind Catcher, a liberated Cutting edge Sembian Warship with 3 mounted ballistae which also rumor has it that it was the fastest of there fleet until Captain Waverunner and his crew of misfits stole her from the well policed harbor of Yhaunn which the city is still trying to figure out how he was able to pull it off right under there nose.

Captain Waverunner rescued Gorg from a Thayan slave ship that thought it was safe on the high seas and saved his life on countless occasions upon their many adventures. Gorg feels he owes the captain a life dept for his rescue from slavery and many more times over since he has joined the crew taking up a life of piracy. Gorg’s most common sayings are “What ever it takes captain, I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth and back again.” “I owe you my life, but now that I’ve grown sea legs I’d wish you’d just take it.” And “ Who’s ever heard of a Dwarven sailor?

Harlamond 01-28-04, 05:13 AM	Oops! Just realized the half orc and dwarf sergeant have the same first name.
Capn Charlie 01-28-04, 06:26 PM	Thanks! The campaign is just picking up steam right now and consists of them hiring and organizing their forces. In game time it is Midwinter and the campaign to liberate shussel the first day in spring when it is feasible to move an army. Thanks for the privateers! They will surely see use. As things progress I will be sure to keep notes and post for everyone's perusal.
sxoa 02-10-04, 10:31 AM	Halious Shale’s mother was dying of gangrene while she was pregnant with him. The disease had spread to parts of her brain leaving her in a coma, before it was fought to a stand still by the herbal remedies of a wise women. She was unconcious throughout the remainder of her pregnancy, during the last bit of pregnancy the gangrene again regained the upper hand, and the rot continued to spread. The labor proved to much for her body to handle on top of the gangrene and she died in childbirth. The child was named Halious Shale and given to her sister as the father was nowhere to be found. Halious grew up poor and unwanted. He looked thin and sickly but actually had an incredibly robust health, and was as tough as nails. He often played with rats near his tenement, and never contracted any diseases, even when they would nip his hands and fingers. When being picked on by an older child, Halious splattered his assailant with some slimy doom he had gathered. The bully died a slow agonizing death, and Halious felt the first callings of an immense power. A plague swept through the city that summer, and Halious saw people dying left and right, as their bodies rotted from within. When his adoptive parents succumbed to the disease, he left the city and trekked out into the wilderness hoping to find whatever it was that was calling to him. He lived alone, fending for himself in the wild before an elderly druid took him in teaching him the ways of nature and trying to temper the youth’s darker side. Halious was fascinated by the myriad of plagues, funguses, and other pestilences that could be found in the natural world. Eventually his mentor succumbed to a cough in his old age, and again Halious went out into the world. Alone once more as those around him fell to illness. At first he simply observed diseases and followed the ebb and flow of plagues, but eventual he grew tired of waiting and began helping the pestilence along. After meeting a wandering cleric and finding a like minded individual he joined the church of Talonas. Halious began focusing more and more on illness and less on the broader scope of nature. He traveled far and wide, visiting Maztica, Kara Tur, the jungles of Chult and the deepest reaches of the Underdark, searching for new and wonderful plagues. Halious has decided to side with Unther in the coming war because he sees the Pharoes armies as giant testing grounds for his diseases. The population of Mulhorand is larger, the armies will be denser and more succeptible to disease.

His group is known as The Plague Wing and some of the members have picked up a level in rogue, and a few have the plague carrier template (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/pg20011219b) as well.

They will come in at night and peck tied up horses, oxen, other beasts of burden and lone patrols to death. They also will drop dead rats and other plague laden material in water barrels or food stores. Occasionally they drop small ceramic pots filled with green slime on enemy animals or soldiers at night. Halious makes effective use of his epidemic spell-like ability, prefering the diseases slimy doom (because it can cause permanent damage) and blinding sickness (nothing amuses him and his squad more than pecking to death blinded soldiers who can't fight back). He uses a grain blight to cast the spell on Mulhorandi crops, destroying whole harvests and causing further unrest. His unit makes use of its extreme mobility (all of them can fly), and inconspicuousness (they're just birds) to operate deep within enemy territory, disrupting supply lines and lowering morale. While he spreads terror and chaos, Halious operates with a definitive plan of action, he is neutral evil, not chaotic.
