Ideas for an...interesting party.

Jul 04, 2007 16:50:04 Hi everyone! I needed some help for storylines for a group with a strange composition. Here are the details:

The party is level 5 and is composed of:

Yashi'Oshei
Elven LG Paladin of Paladine (that's a tongue twister) with a Unicorn mount named Waterlily.

Lomahr
Half-Giant* CG Psychic Warrior who weilds an enormous greatsword.

*Lomahr is my NPC and I'm playing his race a little differently. Mechanically, he plays as the normal Half-Giant from the SRD, but I had him explain to the Paladin when they met, that his mother was a Qualinesti Elf and his Father some kind of Giant, but he never met them due to being sold into slavery.

Their first encounter involved them saving a temple to Paladine from a trio of Howlers. I plan on having the High Priest of the Temple send them on a quest for something but I can't think of what.

The time period I'm in is right after Silvanost is turned into a crater and the Paladin has just arrived in Palanthas.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you.

Jul 04, 2007 19:04:47 Nope, just a straight Pally. My wife isn't into that type of stuff (she's the Paladin) and I'm just running a simpler game to introduce her into the feel of DL.

I just have a hard time thinking up coherent plots to connect everything with.

Jul 05, 2007 17:11:02 It's more of a mutual partnership and I'm going to use it as a plot hook to bring the party to the Unicorn's forest of origin. I plan to do a meeting with the young mount and the "Keeper of the Forest".

And also I'm looking for "can do's" as opposed to "can nots",

Thanks :D

Jul 09, 2007 7:40:47 I love Dragonlance, but the one problem I always seem to have is the time settings. I know I'm gonna sound like an idiot, but what do you mean by "Silvanost is turned into a crater"? This would help me toss out a few ideas, a lot.

Jul 09, 2007 13:52:34 I know that Beryl died in Qualinost and formed the Lake of Death, but in my campaign it happened in Sylvanost and instead of a lake, it's a big crater.

Qualinost has basically taken a page from their cousin's book and closed the borders to outsiders but occasionally a young person will sneak out and hit the road for some adventure or revenge against the people hurting the Elves.
