The Hobgoblin God's Crown (Any day?)

[Deuce Traveler]

I am interested in running a game through Skype. It is a self-made adventure for C&C, character levels 3-5. I should be able to run it the next couple of Thursdays or Sundays. Here is the information.

The Legend of the Crown

We had not known of Theer, God of Fire in the days before Great Khan Bhaz Ridhor, but the gods fall heralded a new age for our people. At the time our leader was simply known as Bhaz, son of Thrahn, the fifth child of a minor chieftains guard. As such the expectation was that he would be a warrior whose future would be found on either end of a spear. But Bhaz was a natural and courageous leader who earned local fame by the time fate came to change all of our destinies; the day when the sky rained fire and we discovered Theer.

Theers chariot appeared above the ten tribes, spitting fire in every direction as he raged his final battle against Ern the Iron Lord. The conflict caused the sky behind them to darken with foul clouds, the forests of the tribes to light aflame, and the ground to be torn asunder where the two fell locked together. Erns arm was ripped from his body, but Theer suffered a mortal wound as Erns spear pierced his torso.

It was Bhaz who sensed the suffering of Theer. And it was Bhaz who had the courage to take his warrior band with him to the site where Ern still stood. The warrior tried talking to Ern first for he was young still and not yet wise in the way of the world. Ern forced a battle, and slew many of Bhazs companions before Bhaz drove his spear into its head and slew the monstrosity. While recovering from this great battle, Bhaz looked into Theers chariot and found the dead god, a wondrous crown sitting on the corpses head. Bhaz ignored his fear and reached out to take the crown, taking the first step in changing the destiny of both himself and his people

- Translated excerpt from the Chronicles of Great Khan Bhaz Ridhor

Written by Jhitton Lavhor, advisor to Chief Fordid Ridhor

A Call For Heroes...

Every human resident of the borderlands knows of the tales of Bhaz Ridhor because of the continued threat from the hobgoblin tribes. It was Bhaz Ridhor who ascended to the leadership of the goblinoid clans and created a short-lived empire based on conquest and exploitive control of vital trade routes. The hobgoblin-controlled lands tripled in size during his fifteen year reign, but at the bloody end of his life his sons and generals tore their hard-won empire apart. His crown was brought back to Hazzar Tuk, a fortress built on top of Theers chariot and corpse. There the crown, corpse, and chariot of Theer were watched over by the cult dedicated to the Fire God. The hobgoblins consider this place neutral ground, a place where the future Great Khan will one day come to reestablish their once wide-flung empire.

That time seems to be now. Khan Kor Ridhor, descendant of Bhaz, has moved quickly from chief to khan, gathering many of the surrounding tribes to his banner by either threats or charm. Now captured warriors from the increasingly aggressive hobgoblins report that Kor rides to Hazzar Tuk on the invitation of the Cult of Theer to discuss his suitability to wear the Crown. If his negotiations are successful, he will unite the hobgoblin clans once more and wipe out the borderland kingdoms. However, this danger also brings an opportunity, for now that the doors to Hazzar Tuk have opened there is a chance for a small group of heroes to slip inside, kill the influential Khan, and destroy the Crown forever.

Hi Jim. Sounds interesting. Is it a playtest of your adventure or a section/session of your homebrew?

What time frame are you considering, if it would be a Thursday game?

Thanks,

Rhu.

Yep, it's my homebrew one shot. I did playtest it before sending it through, but I figure it can always use some more work. I get home from work at 6am Pacific time/ 9am eastern so I am ready to run this at any hour on Thursday.

[Deuce Traveler]

Hmm... it's Wednesday and not much of a response. I think we might schedule for next week and see if anything changes.

[Deuce Traveler]

Well, my off day schedule is going from Thursday, Friday, Saturday to Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Who here is willing to play on a Tuesday?

[LordSeurek]

Would love to Jim, but I am playing Alternity on Tuesdays
