DM Self Destruct Sequence

Self Destruct Sequence



Hey FRC, I plan to DM in the dead zone

Dead zone starts at about: New York 8 am, London 1 pm, Australia 10 pm.
 (As daylight savings swings in and out, the above times are within an hour)
It’s covering a zone that typically has fewer DMs and Questing



I'm interested in creating stories that develop and challenge players. Expect that focusing on a combat solution will result in a suboptimal story resolution.


The story challenges should work for level ranges 6 to 25.

Those outside may find that they might have to work a little harder, or should consider sponsoring lower level PCs to participate in the quests for their interests

Expect that if you are not willing to lose (place the PC at some types of risk), that you will have fewer opportunities to win/ succeed at the quests. If you're involved with my content, expect to use up consumables.

Also expect that actions will lead to alignment review. I will often give small adjustments to a PC’s alignment at the conclusion of quests.

Skill checks
In my quests a 1 is not an autofail nor a 20 an auto pass.
I do take a trained skill rank into account.
I also will roll behind the screen for you checks where the outcome is best hidden (Bluff, diplomacy, spot and search for example)

I will also support spells and actions not normally available on NWN with DM supervision and support, if involved in my plot lines, be creative and use what you have. Ping the DM channel and emote IC as you do this.

Actions have consequences
Guards do not ignore people or property being damaged. Merchants and others notice when you change gear, cast spells and drink potions. 
Do not be surprised when the world reacts to your behaviour
(except Bentin, we all know he just hates all adventurers and wish es to stuff you all in boxes)

Colleagues.

I am missing somethings of important to me. I wish them found. I need assistance from a person or people who are skilled at such information gathering that will lead to the finding of these items.
The reward leading to their return to me is thousands of Cormyrian Lions or a couple of lesser diamonds. Rewards will be paid based on quality of information delivered.
I will have further information for those wishing to accept this contract on the Evening of the 29th of Elent in the Tipsy Imp, Valkur’s Roar

Baramus

// The quest starts New York 9 am, London 2 pm, Australia 11 pm of the 29th September and Baramus will only linger for 3 hours, possibly less if people are *amazing*. Note that quest completes when all tasks are done and people may choose to group or go solo. Please allow some patience as some NPC interactions may take time, and also take hints on when to drop something. Extra time has been allowed for on the 30th at the same time should no one have completed all the required tasks. Happy to receive and reply to IC/ OOC PMs regarding the quest. SDS//

Learned Lords and Ladies

I seek a skilled diviner to make discrete magical enquiries to confirm for me the location of two objects.
Rewards in the form of scrolls will be made at the end of the contract.

I will have further information for those wishing to accept this contract on the Evening of the 6th of Marpenoth in the Leering Letcher, Marsember
Note that I only have need for one skilled practitioner.

Camarus

// The quest starts New York 9 am, London 2 pm, Australia 11 pm of the 6th October and Camarus will likely take one of the first applicants there (Try not to be late, best to PM me if you plan to come). Note that a skilled diviner is required which means that you will know if you are skilled if you have spellcraft 5 (ranks), and access to a divination spell Level: Bard 2, Cleric 3, Sorcerer/Wizard 2, Travel 2. To emulate a spell not supported by NWN I will ask that you have access to one of the following spells: See Invisible, Clairaudience/Clairvoyance or Find Traps SDS//

REWARD
Missing cat. <There is a sketchy charcoal impression of a cat>.

Tends to only go out at night and is rarely seen. Often prowls the second stories. Is deft on its feet, avoiding all pitfalls and gliding around locked and barred passages. Often brings home extra presents for its owner.

Anyone thinking they have a cat meeting the credentials should present the cat and its credentials at the Tipsy Imp on the evening of 13th Marponeth to Dranmus.

// For those able to read between the lines. The above is an advertisement for a burglar. The quest starts New York 8 am, London 1 pm, Australia 11 pm October 13th. Anyone wishing to attend should turn up for an interview and test run against a challenge, scoring is based on time and pitfalls avoided. A winner(s)/ or even a winning group will be expected to turn up one week later on the October 20th for the “live” job. Thieves do not get to challenge each other to duels much. I hope to have time to run a few people/ groups through so entries are open from the start time and up to 2 hours later. EDM SDS //

REWARD
Missing Book

A book of some value and much sentimentality has gone missing around the 15th Marponeth
It is a 6 inch square tome of dark leather with silver edging and clasp.
If you come across the book is recommended to only touch the book with gloves and do not open it

Anyone with information about the book, or has come across the book should present the book to Greel at his shop for a reward

// I am open for an open investigation session starting New York 8 am, London 1 pm, Australia 11 pm November 3rd. Please PM me to confirm attendance. Note that there may not be a resolution in the game session, but information for PC's to use and follow up at their later interest. EDM SDS //
