Commander James Reiker has been tasked to hold a Pass from a undead horde intent on passing. It's imperative that he destroy the horde before it can grow and get pass the mountain barrier into the south. He leads a band of mercenaries known as the "The Swords of Winter" and Feng's Keep has hired them for this deadly mission. The men of the company may not survive but if they do they will be richly rewarded.
So I am running a one-shot Ellannis type game. The idea is to focus on the new combat mechanics the group's idea has spawned. I want to try to be lethal here and see if playing is to harsh or is to powerful for the characters. I like the direction so far and this will give me an idea to monster creating later.
What you need to do.
#1 Make a 5th lvl squad leader from the Ellannis rulebook. The character has max hit points and may choose one of the following items. [Magic Weapon +2 to hit & damage] [+2 Armor; this plus is used versus damage received] [Shield of Protection; 2d6 additional absorb] [Bracers of Mana; 20 extra mana points; don't count against mana pool] [2X Potion of Health; 3d10 hit points restored]
#2 Make Four 1st level characters to be the squad. Max Hit Points. Must use the starting gold and build as they were starting playing characters for a campaign. No extra gear
#3 Make sure all characters are named. If you have minis to represent your squad it will be helpful, also if you are that guy and have for everyone maybe I will grant you a lucky Loki totem for your squad leader.
Location: Benito's House
Time: I will be starting the battle at 1:00 PM [Sharp] If you intend to participate all characters must be printed out and fully created before 1:00 PM. Models that you are using must also be ready. I am not delaying the start time. If you cannot make it on time there will be no reserves coming in. This is a tracking information event with me focus on a lot of rule functions and I am not going to overwhelm myself with changing things during play.
Please post if you wish to attend. Then inform me if you have miniatures for your squad if not please post what you need; ie 3 warrior knights, 1 missionary priest (f), 1 scholar mage. Also please be open minded that we are severely testing the combat system and I am trying to kill your characters. [Don't fall in love with them it will be a sad moment for you] but I also want to see if you guys wreck monster to easily as well. Any other questions fell free to post them.
