Text of the page (random words):
24 2023 just who are you really part 2 of uh 3 actually i figured i d start an exploration of some of my pcs and toons with my ad d 1e character alarius you know stick to the classics at first i d originally joked that i should name him joe the cleric hence the joe there and yes when someone says something funny at the table it goes on my character sheet somewhere alarius is in some ways an unfunny me he takes himself far too seriously doesn t really like the hilarious moniker he was given and doesn t talk much about his gods there s an out of game reason for that last part as one of our game group is a methodist minister and therefore i m not inclined to be obnoxious as far as in game religion is concerned alarius began the adventuring life following up on rumors of slavers operating in the area and joined up with a group to pursue those rumors along the way the slaver conspiracy kept growing in scope and size and as the group gained in knowledge and strength they began to find themselves a target of the slavers themselves when they finally reached the heart of the slaving operation they were instead captured and thrown into the dungeon presumably to await execution only a fortuitous volcanic eruption a gift from the gods alarius said at the time allowed them to escape find their gear and overwhelm the guards at the docks yes that was the content of the old ad d slave lords modules a0 through a4 while perusing the slavers documents alarius discovered that a shipment of slaves had been sent out to a remote area which stood out from other possible locales the party reassembled and headed out to investigate only to discover that the surrounding countryside was under assault from a clan of hill giants oh yes it s that module alarius and company defeated the hill giants and followed the trail to a stronghold of frost giants and subsequently to a fortress of fire giants it was only then that they discovered the long rumored but never seen dark elves or drow not only existed but were directing the fire giants in their acquisition of slaves at the moment alarius is somewhere underground following a path marked on an incomplete map to what appears to be a drow city the party already had to fight off some drow slavers who took off with some of their number and followed them to an underground supply post the abductees were subsequently rescued and everybody escaped an underground supply post by the skin of their teeth yes we re finished with module d1 descent into the depths of the earth and are about to start d2 shrine of the kuo toa for those who don t know who kuo toa are think giant murlocs evil giant murlocs aranandor is up next an elven champion in lotro there are stories about that already lotro is an ideal game if you want a story because the original shadows of angmar story is absolutely fantastic you can get bogged down a bit while you level and the ui is really bad for the red green colorblind but if you re a fan of middle earth it s always worth a trip so aranandor i made a point of making a character with an accurate quenya name although after the royal aran i think it means royal noble of andor or maybe not aranandor spent some time earlier in the third age at rivendell but eventually grew restless and made the trip to ered luin where the grey havens lay as the shadow of the east grew larger he considered following the call of the sea and going to the undying lands but instead he chose to stay and fight the shadow as best he could the witch king wove many intricate plots around eriador from ered luin to bree and even as far east and south as eregion and no matter how hard aranandor tried he always felt that the minions of the witch king were a step ahead of him as angmar looked unstoppable the witch king s chief minion decided to dole out his own twisted form of justice on a minion he perceived to be insufficiently loyal that turning on a loyal minion causing the minion to in turn betray the shadow was the break aranandor and the free peoples needed strange how such a thing as petty jealousy can cause the downfall of the great aranandor once mused while resting at imladris after the angmar affair aranandor spent time with the dwarves in khazad dum a relentlessly grim place that he shudders to remember the boughs of lothlorien were more to his liking his kin from afar dwelt there after all but even there the shadow stretched its arms toward the golden lady he would die for galadriel and celeborn but rather than asking that sort of sacrifice they instead chose another to draw the attention of mordor away from the fellowship aranandor was tasked with assisting an assault into mirkwood the darkness that dwelt there reminded the elf far too much of the darkness in moria and as companions died his spirits flagged a change was needed when he returned to imladris for healing and rest elrond summoned him to his side word has reached us that aragorn has need of his kinsmen he told the elf assemble the rangers of the north so that they may head south and rendezvous with him in rohan ever the dutiful wood elf aranandor rode throughout the north bringing word to the rangers and then riding south with them to the country of the dunlendings there he found loyalty and betrayal among the people so thoroughly dominated by saruman yet he also found courage and heart in those few dunlendings who rejected the shadow it is there that aranandor s story ends for much lies before him and is yet to be told as you can guess aranandor s primary motivation is his desire to see the shadow defeated but the long and often lonely paths he has trod has worn on him he smiles less now and he has seen far too many of those he calls friends fall in battle or to the plots of the enemy yet he has not totally forsaken the grey havens as he knows that when this age is over he may yet cross over the sea to the west blaugust2023 i suggested it and it stuck posted by redbeard at 6 00 am
