Volourn's NWN Module

[Volourn]

R00fles!

 

Anyways, thanks for the corrections, Metal.

 

Anyways x2, what should I post next? Any ideas? <>

[Archmonarch]

Hmm, how about any new enemies you might have created? If you can reveal them, of course.

[Volourn]

Sounds like a cool idea. Just remember, that 'new' enemies will often. look like old ones since I'm using basic NWN; no haks so no reskinning... So, they may not look new; but they are in the way act in combat (and outside of combat too..). I'll share 6 - two from ch1, two from ch2, and two from ch3...

That's true, because your Golems look like BoG standard garden varieties ... until combat!

The golems are crafted by the very senior of the Mithril Council which consist of the clan's strongest warrior, most powerful stone wizard, and the wisest priest of Mother Graystone. The three of them along with the power of stone and mithril infuse the construct with the power need to defend the stronghold from all who dare threaten it.

Description: Glassy white ogres covered in drived, unwashed blood from previous victims.

Background: Ice Ogres live in the White Blood Mountains, and pledge their loyalty to the ancient white dragon, Matriarch Ablishoas. This loyalty is unshakeable. Unlike most ogres (which they look down upon), Ice Ogres do not lie no matter what and unless their mistress demands someone's death, they may be negotiated with. Ablishoas often hands them various potions when they go out on guard duty. The usual types of potions are potions of speed, bless, and invisibility so foolish adventurers ar eoften caught offguard. Even though they lack intelligence, ice ogres are so well trianed in disarming their fools, they have become masters of this feat much to their foes' chagrin.

CR: 18

Description: Avorals have the bodies of tall, muscular golden humans, but with long, powerful wings. Avorals, like all angels, are worthy servants of good. However, unlike most of their allies, these heavenly beings have no qualms using any means neccessary to put an end to evil wherever they may find it.

Backgrounds: Celestials from the High Heavens, avorals hate evil, and seek it out where itever it hides to snuff out the foul precense. They have no problem with being summoned by those aligned with the Powers of Good as long as its for a worthy cause.

 

 

As you can see, some very powerful creatures in there. Some notes to keep in mind, unlike pnp, undead do recieve hit point bonuses from consitution, and many creatures get more feats than they should under normal circumsatnces. Thems the breaks...

 

There ya go.

 

 

Metaldigital: "That's true, because your Golems look like BoG standard garden varieties ... until combat!"

 

Yup. BoG? Hehe. Yeah, it sure hurts ya when he hits. <>

[metadigital]

What's a "slam" attack?

BoG: It's a common saying in the UK, even though most people are unaware of its origins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

)

(It comes from the African colonisers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when they wanted a part for something they would ask for one of British or German (i.e. high) standard, hence "BoG standard".)

[Volourn]

"What's a "slam" attack?"

 

Just another way to say 'fist'. Heh.

 

P.S. Oh.

[metadigital]

"What's a "slam" attack?"

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I had visions of punk slam-dancing ghasts ...

[Volourn]

Ha. But, no.

[metadigital]

Special Attack: Bus Stop +7 to bump, and automatic knockdown on hit

Whenever I hear the word slam, I picture the original Donkey Kong (the one with Mario).

[Volourn]

LOL Don't blame me. That's what the toolset calls it. There's various natural attacks in the toolset. Slam, claw, bite, and lots more... (w00t)

I'm sure that's a misspelling, it should be "bitchslap".

[Volourn]

Heh. Ok... What should be the next thing(s) posted?...

[metadigital]

Heh. Ok... What should be the next thing(s) posted?...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Is there a good NPC encounter?

[Volourn]

You mean like a conversation or something? Hmm... Is there a way to export those so i can post it ehre? i'd rather not rewrite them.. Espically since most enocunters include thousands of words....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Not a dialogue, no; the character (the three you posted were al evil evil evil).

 

 

Hmmm, much as the typing practice might do you good, I wouldn't think inflicting the resulting prose on us would be fair ...

[Volourn]

Ahh.. You want a goody character portfolio.. Ok, ok. Who says the dwarven female bard is evil? Or the drow. <_<

The Drow is an assassin: I was labouring under the impression that assassins were evil.

 

And as for the Dwarven flute-playing archetype, we have not been appraised of her character portfolio as yet ...

"And as for the Dwarven flute-playing archetype, we have not been appraised of her character portfolio as yet ..."

Damn Rules Lawyers. :D

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

DAmmit, this thread is too big -- i went all the way back to page 18 and couldn't see it, before I posted. :">

 

Skills of Note: Coming up for taunts for hate foes, and for those she cares about. She also has a great baritone voice, and is probably the only dwarf musician in known existence that actually spends time playing the flute around camfires.

 

Maybe she should just sing, as flute playing is obviously so de rigueur as to be clich

[Volourn]

Character Name: Emilia Grivolon

 

Race: Elf

 

Sex: Female

 

Age: 140

 

Class: Wizardess

 

Personality: This young elf loves life, and spends her time enjoying it rather than being a book worm unlike the stereotypical mage. She makes friends easy. In fact, according to her overbearing father, a tad too easy. She loves to learn, and experience new things no matter what they are with few exemptions.

 

Combat Style: Emilia dislikes combat, and avoids it at all costs. The sight of blood is almost enough to make her faint. She'll always suggest a diplomatic solution before allowing things to get violent in all; but the most extreme cases. When she is forced to battle, she grudgingly does so with her dagger, and shortbow which she cna use with a little skill. The elf, of course, much prefers to use spells - most notebaly those magics that hold, charm, or otherwise hinder any possible foes. She has damaging spells in her repetoire which she will used when things get really rough.

 

Skills of Note: A great singing voice, wonderful dancer, intelligent use of wizardry spells, knowledgeable about Elven History, and the ability to make friends with most anyone.

 

Hometown: Small elven tree village of Utopia in the Forest of Peaceful Breezes.

 

Goals: To make friends, and experience as much as possible.

 

Description: This young, and beautiful elven maiden has shiny blue eyes, and long flowing red hair. Her earrings are crafted out gold, and have the following markings - E+F Forever.

 

Noteworthy Equipment: Outisde of her spellbook, and earrings, Emilia carries nothing of note.

 

Background: Lady Grivolon was born in the aptly named village of Utopia. The place is very well hidden, and has pretyy much been in peaceful existence for what seems like an eternity. Emilia was the only daughter of the High Councilman, and was appropriately spoiled and recived the best training possible in singing, and dancing until it was apparant that she had much potential in the Magical Arts.

Eventually, the quiet life bored her, so she begged her father to let her go exploring, and grudgingly (after ten years), he let her. This began the lf maiden's adventuring life. She has been doing so for twenty years now, and what has occured during that time has made the once vibrant lady into a more self assured, more relaxed version of ehrself who still enjoys life; but has the wisdom not to show too much excitement during inappropriate times. One can only wonder what has caused this subtle change in Emilia's outlook.

 

 

 

Yes, not as exciting as the other NPCs - on the surface, at least...

 

 

 

 

MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW:

 

 

 

 

Time to do a grand showing of the Chapter 1 henchmen (actually, just five of 'em as the last one shall remain a secret) ... Do not read if you don't want to see the weird freaks you may land up adventuring with during part 1....

 

 

 

 

1. Hykul Witcheta the 3rd, Ghast (Human), Fighter/Blackguard/Cleric, Male.

 

2. Emilia Grivolon, Elf, Wizard, Female.

 

3. Kelvrin Jorns, Human, Fighter, Male.

 

4. Wryly, Wererat (Human), Rogue, Male.

 

5. Baxroxa the Mighty Strong, Minotaur, (no class/barbarian like), Female.

 

 

 

Yes, some pretty weird ones there including the female minotaurs. Another example of how the World of Durnla differs. 99% of minos are male as per usual; but once and awhile; a female does exist...

 

 

Enjoy.

Now that's a character! I likee a lot. I disagree that she is not as exciting, that's an injustice. She is obviously an intelligent character, therefore not as easy to write a brief synopsis of, as she has subtleties and hidden depths.

 

Good work!

[Volourn]

"Now that's a character! I likee a lot. I disagree that she is not as exciting, that's an injustice. She is obviously an intelligent character, therefore not as easy to write a brief synopsis of, as she has subtleties and hidden depths."

 

Heh. That's why I wrote 'on the surface'.

[metadigital]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

So how do minotaurs reproduce? And what does a female one look like?
