How to stop a war - a 5e dnd adventure

Here I’ll answer and update important questions. This is the first 5e game I have hosted.

How many players?: Strictly 3, allows me to make the story about them.

Staring level: 1 with reduced starting gear.

Who makes the roles?: For most part you will make your own roles on this forum with the exception of mental skill checks. Wis, int & Cha based skills. (Not including preform)

Attributes?: 4d6-lowest. Rolled on here and appropriately tagged. You can re-roll once but can’t go back to previous roll if you do. If it still worse you can opt for standard array

How will we track our characters: My preference is Dicecloud or Mythweavers but I will allow any method that is practical and functional.

How to stop a war - a 5e dnd adventure

The town of Ruthgarr, 5 days ride south of dragons spire, east of the sky river and the desert beyond. Somewhere to its south east across the hilly dry plains lies the Elven forest Il’luvia, but no roads lead there. An old dirt path does cut west over the river through the town and up north easterly towards the citadel. It’s a road rarely trodden.

Ruthgarr is a simple place. A place between many places. Small and homely, for nothing really exciting ever happens here. It’s not even a place people travel through, not anymore, not for a long time. Generations have been born and died here. Here in the town of ones. One church, one tavern, one cemetery, one lord, one watchtower, one smith. ect.
It is however filled with honest and hardworking people. They are trusting and open. A mottled lot from all races and backgrounds. Around 300 hundred to be exact, maybe 301 now with Lord Dargen’s latest daughter.

Lord Dargen is the only man permitted to use magic in the town under the law of the latest king, but no one enforces it. Not all the way out here. While there still exists the free states that refuse his rule, Ruthgarr is not one of them, it is simply too small and too far away to be watched over closely. So once a year they pay their pitance and for the rest of it they keep to themselves.

But... this little nothing town is about to get caught up in one of the biggest catastrophic events to ever touch the land.

How will your three young characters influence the coming events?
How will these inexperienced and different individuals alter and change the paths of fate.

The game will start exactly three days before your journey to the northern mountains, to the dragons spire. An honoured pilgrimage undertaken by a child on his name day who considers themselves ready to be viewed as an adult. You are of the age and have trained enough that this should be your last visit, but that is not up to you, it’s a decision that can only be made by the red seer.

D&D 5e - Asembia: Untitled Roles

It wasn't a sense of camaraderie, worry or concern for his friends that drove Azzen forward, no. It was a simple act of greed. He was quite content to just sit back and let the carnage unfurl in the next room until he realised what was happening. The spell, the light and now the smoke, fear that his belongings were in those barrels drove the bardic tiefling forward.

Quickly assessing the room he would rush over to the fire and move any other flammable objects away from it.
He wasn't concerned about getting too close, just minimising the damage.

Perception 5 1st time in the room

@rush99999@Lucius Cypher
I would say that with or without a weapon, Orchid's roll will still be a normal roll and thus fail.

@Expolar

Critically fail!

Are we playing with Critical fails and success?
I realise they don’t really exist it 5e except as an variant rule.
(Pg242 apparently.)

D&D 5e - Asembia: Untitled Roles

Azzen was quickly growing frustrated with people, and it seemed to affect his thoughts. Oh how he wished he had a spell to control them all.

The young girls reply was lacking, Azzen thought he was good at drawing out information but he got little from her, and he wasn’t even sure if it was the truth. Still he would use what he could.

More so he didn’t understand Najila’s opposition to his gentle questioning. Celeste reluctance to speak in details was only more suspicious.
Still ‘Celeste Darkh’ he pondered on that name.
She may be the reason they are all here and their, or at least his key out.

Azzen barely noticed the barbarian charge out as it all happened so fast. The girls story didn’t seem to effect him the same way it did others. The twang of bolts quickly caught his attention though.
He would finish putting on his armour and check the dead guard and his disguise.

Choosing a demon
SITRI:
(also spelled Bitru, Sytry) Great King of Jinnestan, and reigns over sixty legions of demons. He causes men to love women and vice versa, and makes them to show themselves naked if it is desired.

That’s ahh, that power is surely gonna come in handy when taking over hell.

Enemy gloating:
“The claws of your demons will never penetrate the armour of my knig... huh... wait! Whats going on? Why are you all getting naked, stop that! Put your armour back on!”

@Dead Cruiser

Just curious...

What’s the idea or essence of this game?
I like the intro post but I mean how do you envision it going?

Is there a plot or sandbox?
Nation/army building? Politics?
Earth/Hell? PvP?
Team/Free-for-all?

Dragon Ball - The Planet Breakers

Ahh, I gotta get onto finishing my character...

Persona: The darkest light

@Aurrorian
I think I nearly finished a character sheet for this but fell behind and didn’t really have the familiarity with persona so let it slide.
