Will be posting a couple of things today after I'm finished with my work for the day...

There will be a "Rumors" article...have a few "big things" going on that the characters may be interested in.

Will also have a "Group Relations" posting about how the group (those submitted already) know each other.

Talk to you all later!

The following are a few of the more prominent rumors and “facts” floating about Melvaunt on the 9th of Hammer 1357 DR.

First: A sage of Melvaunt, specializing in Dragons, by the name of “Old Karn” has said that the white dragon known as “Hoarfrost” was killed somewhere to the south in 1356. Hoarfrost had a rather substantial hoard according to one surviving member of an adventuring party back in 1348 and the lair is said to be somewhere along the coast of “Ebonfrost Lake” from whence the river Tormel comes. Several bands of adventurers have been talking about going there; but most are only “tall talking” as none are willing to face the Red Claws Hobgoblins who do a great deal of hunting and ice-fishing in that area during the winter. They are said to have semi-permanent camps in the area that are used to stage attacks against the Glister Route. If a party of brave adventurers could manage to get to Hoarfrost’s lair ahead of the thaw, they might be able to gather a huge treasure…

Second: A former servant of Lyran Nanther screamed mightily a few days ago, just before he was torn in half by horses, that his master had a secret treasure outside the city. The only holding Lyran had outside of Melvaunt is a small family estate, now burned out, that was sacked by the City Guard after Lyran was executed. Lord of Keys Bruil is rumored to be planning a search party when the thaw comes. If someone got there first…

Third: The Witch-King of Vaasa has taken many caravans by force over the years; but now rumor has it that large forces are massing in his lands. Merchants from Glister are in Melvaunt trying to muster many mercenaries and are paying large signing bonuses to lure men north to their city. Many in Melvaunt are planning to hire on and many additional shipments of weapons and armor are being prepared for a quick trip as soon as the weather permits. Hard on their luck mercenaries could get rich quickly by simply hiring onto a caravan to Glister and then signing on to defend the place!

Fourth: The band known as “The Sword and Staff” came to Melvaunt last summer. They spent many Sembian trade bars and various coins aplenty preparing for an adventure to what they called “The Horned Tower” that summer. They never returned to Melvaunt, but their captain’s distinctive flaming two-handed sword was found on the body of an ogre killed by a caravan from Glister a few weeks later. The brute had the brand of the Crystal Sphere Ogre Clan upon his brow.

Fifth: Red Claw Wolf Riders sacked a pair of farms outside Melvaunt this winter. The tribe is obviously starving because when they were tracked down by a city patrol they were found to even be eating their own dead! While they quickly retreated, what was left of them, Lord of Keys Bruil has warned merchants to be prepared for heavy raiding this season.

Sixth: On the 2nd of Hammer, the wizard Haelbrand “Firewands” was apparently fleeing on horseback with his two bodyguards toward the walls of Melvaunt. Less than a mile from the Thargate a pair of flying Ogre-Magi appeared above them and attacked. While the City Watch hurried to aid Haelbrand he managed to slay one of the beasts, but soon after his two guards were frozen solid in a freezing spell and Haelbrand himself was felled by the remaining Ogre-Mage. The monster flew off with Haelbrand’s body before the Watch arrived; and to this day nobody knows if Haelbrand was killed or not. The Lord Envoy seized Haelbrand’s assets in the city, and they are to be auctioned off on the 18th. Whispers are that the ogre body left behind belonged to the Fallen Star Clan; but it was burned where it was, so only the members of the patrol that rode out know for sure.

Seventh: A sailor going by the dubious name of “Tucker” of Hillsfar, who says he was the cook aboard the ship Ironhawk, has been supporting his drinking needs by claiming to be the only survivor of the powerful galley’s crew. He claims that the ship, badly damaged after a battle against a Zhentish vessel, couldn’t make it back to Melvaunt without sinking and instead beached itself upon the rocky shore of the Moonwatch Hills. He has said further that the crew was then attacked that very night by a nest of Sirens! Tucker, nearly deaf, says his damaged ears are the only thing that saved him and allowed his escape. Tucker claims that the Ironhawk had onboard a Captain’s Chest full of Bloodstones; and for a good amount of coin he might be willing to tell the ship’s location; and of course where the cave full of Sirens is located as well!

The House Calaudra of Melvaunt

House Calaudra is a true oddity within the bounds of the City of Melvaunt. Few would think that a half-elf would much enjoy the stench and stone of Melvaunt; and none would truly consider that an entire family of Half-Elven Wizards would have called Melvaunt home for nearly two centuries. Indeed that is the case however; for the Calaudra family has become a major influence within the teaming markets and pounding iron-works of the Moonsea’s foremost city of industry.

The first Calaudra who arrived in Melvaunt, the exact date unknown (though it is purported to have been the year 1353 DR), was the man known as Cowled Druah. Druah was a particularly mercenary half-elven man of dubious reputation; but well regarded for his use of sword, spell and stealth. Druah claimed a small warehouse in Melvaunt; erected an adjoining tower for his magical research and, if rumor is correct, excavated a rather extensive network of chambers under ground as well from which he began his mercantile interests.

Druah had apparently amassed a large number of enemies within the nation of Sembia prior to his arrival in Melvaunt and quickly coined the name “Lord Calaudra” as his title within the city. Not something that truly disguised his past, it still lent him a dangerous title after his purchase of a seat upon the Council of Lords the year following his arrival…a name that the few seeking him out found to discourage their taste for vengeance since the vast fortune he had spent for his new position had also been used by the city to increase the strength of both its military and secretive spy network; that actively discouraged agents from other cities to be quite so nosey within the smoke and shadow shrouded streets of Melvaunt.

To cement his place within Melvaunt, Lord Calaudra sought mightily for a bride suiting his new stature. Eventually he was able to gain quite a bit of interest from a half-elven Lady Ranger named Rhaeldra who frequented the city. Her intense dealings with the Barbarians of The Ride as an ally have echoed down through the years; and the rest, as they say, is history.

For two centuries, “House” Calaudra has slowly grown in power within Melvaunt. Currently presided over by the intense Andros Calaudra, this Moon Half-Elf family has indeed grown, but also kept its ambitions carefully in check. Its long-term strategies have served the Calaudras well, but they understand that theirs will never be more than a minor house. Indeed, the family currently does not even hold a seat upon Melvaunt’s Ruling Council. That place was lost just over a century ago after a disaster that cost the family the majority of its vast fortune when one of their ships brought plague to Melvaunt in 1253 DR. The City Council stripped the Calaudra family of its one seat and voted unanimously that the family would not be allowed to hold another seat for one hundred years. Many refused to do business with the Calaudra family for years after; and had Andros Calaudra’s grandfather, the son of Rhaeldra Calaudra, not been fast friends of several Chieftains from The Ride the family would surely have perished financially.

Aeldros Calaudra, a Wizard like his father Druah, was also a strong negotiator; many of his deals being conducted on street corners with daggers bared and dripping with poison. This canny man began to hire barbarian mercenaries to attack the horse interests of the various Melvauntian merchant princes. When, at last, the city began to realize its desperate need for horse-flesh simply to move materials, Aeldros stepped in with a brilliant idea: purchase horses from the very barbarians that had been sacking caravans and raiding farms! While many suspected Aeldros had indeed been the man responsible for the attacks, none could prove it so; and Aeldros’ contacts within the barbarian tribes ensured that he was quickly able to supply the city with the horses that were needed. From that day House Calaudra has all but eliminated any rival merchants in the dealing of horse-flesh within Melvaunt.

Today, Andros Calaudra is an extremely wealthy man. He not only is responsible for ensuring the Lord of Keys has plenty of horses for military needs; but nearly any merchant in the city that plans to use a horse to pull a wagon, or mount a caravan guard on, must deal with the Calaudra family to purchase a horse if they are short on their needs. Andros has also began to push hard within the last decade, since the fall of Hulburg, to ensure the city has stockpiles of grain and other foodstuffs (all of which belong to House Calaudra of course!) to serve the needs of a city that might come under siege and not be capable of feeding itself from the sea because of blockade.

Andros is a careful and planning man; barely married with only one male heir and a younger female child, he takes no chances in his dealings. He has contracts from the City Council for horses, food for its army and even magical assistance in times of attack upon the city. Even Lord Envoy Dundeld Nanther has commented: “For one man, that sits not upon the Council of Lords, to be so vital in our dealings that support the needs of merchant, soldier and peasant alike; Andros Calaudra is either a true patriot or a despot in waiting! Better to take him into our council than allow him free reign within the city where we can’t watch him more closely!” This was said during a Council Meeting wherein the Lord Envoy argued in favor of allowing a Calaudra to finally obtain a seat upon the council after so many decades. Andros is indeed a man to be watched…and perhaps even feared; but still has not obtained a coveted seat upon the Ruling Council.

The seat of power for House Calaudra is still to this day the same tower that Cowled Druah constructed so long ago; only today the warehouse is gone and has been replaced by a fortified town-house of sprawling size, surrounded by an unfortified wall rumored to contain not only the Calaudra estate but also a great white beast that will savage any who climb the wall instead of walking by escort through the gate.

Andros Calaudra is said to be an adherant to the faith of Lliira, and his tower is often known to have the music of great parties echoing from its high spire. None should think Andros a soft man however. He, like his ancestor Cowled Druah, is well regarded for the use of sword, spell and stealth. He enjoys festive occasions, but was once known to engage a trio of Ogre-Magi in combat while his family narrowly escaped during a summer outing to an estate some few miles from Melvaunt. Indeed, Andros Calaudra should not be trifled with; especially since he has a wife, pair of brothers and a sister all of whom he claims are his equal in skill manipulating Art!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andros Calaudra looks at you intently. His slight frame, seated across from you behind a desk made of a wood called mahogany, seems completely unthreatening; but still your nerves seem to be on edge. Is it his eyes that are so intense and filled with danger? Or, instead, is it his reputation as a wizard who consorts with other-worldly agents to gain his mercantile edge that has you so ill at ease? Such things couldn’t be true…could they?

“And so, young adventurer, now you know a bit about who you are working for…do you have any other questions I can satisfy for you? I wouldn’t want you to feel ill at ease…” His smile disarms your last reserve; you know full well the man must be inside your head!

Yes, working for Andros Calaudra will be worthwile for profit; but will you remain the same after.

Hey all,

It is about 2:40pm my time in Montana. The only two folks I haven't heard from about their characters are:

Wooly and Rinonalyrna Fathomlin

The plan is to go ahead and start tmr after 5pm my time with my first post to the group. If you guys aren't able to get your characters to me by then I'll work you in after.

So far the party consists of:

(Mace Hammerhand) Blithe: Male Half-Orc Barbarian
(Kuje) Narelle: Female Half-Elf Druid
(Thauramarth) Tamar: Male Human Fighter
(KEJR) Vaeris: Male Human Ranger

So plenty of meat in the group! That is a good thing!

Can't wait to see the last two ideas for characters!

Talk to you all later.

I was wondering, btw, what are your rules about post count?

Like, for instance, my email games I request people post at least twice a week.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I had thought to make two deadlines a week. All posts on Wed. until Saturday must be replied to by Sunday. All posts on Sunday to Tuesday must be replied to by Wed...

Or something like that.

That will, I hope, make the game go by smoothly and not end up having everything to do on a particular day of the week.

My first post tmr will actually have the loose guidelines (not really rules) that I have come up with...I'm still hammering them out right now.

OK, perhaps I will play a rogue.

Hi Dalor!

Thanks for your invitation. However unfortunate, I have no time for getting involved in your PBEM for preparing my own home campaign and the Keep take up most of my spare time. I might be lurking though, every once in a while....

None the less, good gaming all of you.

Sure thing!

I've actually had two people decide they can't play...Wooly and KEJR; so I have openings.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to start the game on Wednesday folks; got thrown a curve ball that struck me out. Will be starting today with only three players; but more are welcome to join.

We have:

Female half-elf Druid
Male half-orc Barbarian
Male human Fighter

Tazak mentioned perhaps playing a Female Gnome Ill/Thief.

Still looks like a solid party.

Talk to you all after I'm done with Church today!

The guidelines for the game are very simple:

Any post sent out on a Sunday through Wednesday should be answered by Wednesday (whatever time zone you are in); this is only a loose guideline. Any post sent out on Thursday through Saturday should be answered by Saturday (again, whatever time zone you are in); again only a loose guideline.

Each player is responsible for any dice rolling unless I say otherwise. I trust each player to roll honestly and report honestly.

Each player should use “OOC” when talking Out Of Character in any email post. Likewise, when you are speaking In Character you should note in your post “IC” before your character speaks.

At any time you want to say something to the Dungeon Master that you don’t want other players to know, send me a private email to: dalor_darden@yahoo.com and make sure to place “Private PBEM Message” in the title please.

All other posts should be made to the Yahoo Group set aside for this game at: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Melvaunt_ADnD/

I will be starting the group out together in a post to the Yahoo Group. It will be best for the group, at least early on, to of course work together as an adventuring group. If later, individuals find that they can attend to adventures alone, feel free to explore that option. I want to maintain some group cohesion though, so try to stay somewhat together. Explore as you will separate from the group though. I know this sounds sort of contradictory…I just want everyone to have fun but do it together as often as possible. I will be keeping a careful track of time; so if you are off fighting on a “solo” quest, then you may miss out on something.

That is it really. The rest is just role-playing fun! I’ll be posting the first group post soon.

RTF documents...Rich Text Format...

How the heck do I save a document in that format on my computer? All I have are Microsoft Office applications to work with.

Would anyone be interested in educating me?

The game has started!

Yay!!!

Sorry it took me a bit folks...but the ol' ticker wasn't ticking quite so well today...and other business held me up over the weekend.

But now we are on our way to what I hope will be great fun!

Probably won't be visiting this thread much from this point on.

One thing I WILL do however:

When something becomes well known to the party, I will post it here to be known for those that might be interested in 1st Edition magical items, spells, personalities and such.

See you all soon!

Unfortunately the game went south because of the DM (me).

I hate to admit it, but I totally failed in this game. I had good solid players with awesome characters, but I didn't get it going very well at all.

I think the problem was a combination of things:

Online format being controlled by someone (me) who didn't really know what to do with an online system.

I took on too much at once. The game would have been easy if it had been a once a week meeting; but constant monitoring of a game board was too much time.

Lots of other problems.

I am sure it would be possible to run a really nice game online, but I'm not educated enough on computers to get it done I suppose.

Easily.

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn

Aye...that is the whole point many of us made: you don't need to change the realms to use a new rules set.

Any RPG system will work for any setting...

A shame that this didn't pan out. I've long been curious as to the differences (if there are even that many!) between 1st and 2nd. :)

Rule-wise, the systems are very similar. They're similar enough that I sometimes wonder why they called it a new edition.
