Event: Hunter or Hunted


Activity in the Bramblewoods has increased recently. Especially at night the howls of wolves are heard all around, and a report has been filed by a group of adventurers as a frightened child appeared and asked for aid in recovering his father.

Do you dare to travel into the Bramblewoods and investigate this cause? Perhaps a few adventurers are already on the hunt!

Level Range: Open

Part 1 of 6 complete.



I’ll make announcements as this event continues!


My dm style:

As a player I always loved the small events dms ran, especially if they where tailored to my character. I try to adhere to this. I hope to allow people through my encounters to develop their rp, and I love offering points of contention among a party. Perhaps an ethical issue will cause some discussion.

Rp is king!

And I want the party to feel challenged.

When I begin an event I strive to allow the original characters to see it through.

The Bramblewoods have fallen silent lately, and in that silence an orb of light exited a cave and floated across the woods.

Its flight seemed sporadic at first, but as it rounded trees and floated up above a few branches… its path became clear. It floated through the woods and over a bridge. Finally it entered the clearing just before Malarite territory and the orb burst into a multicolored spectacle of light.

Once the display cleared, a man stood before the wooded entrance with dark robes. Watery gurgles assailed him from his left, and he turned to see trolls charging his way. With a few words and his hands fanned out before him, thumbs touching… a burst of flame arced out before him and burned those closest to cinders.

The remaining trolls having seen enough turned and fled to the cliffside where they jumped without hesitation splashing into the cold waters below.

The man brushed his hands off and wrinkled his nose at the burning troll stench.

He turned to view the woods once more and smiled to himself.

“And so the hunt ends”

Howls erupt all around the woods as the man enters them, suddenly an orb of light once more.

Side Note before Saturday:

This event is a culmination of several things that have already happened. If you do show, just be warned that it's not meant to be easy. Mistakes can be made that will place your characters in very dire situations. I'm not here to make it a slaughter. I want to provide something fun and challenging. With that being said, death does happen

Apologies to everyone for the hiccup. The server needed a nap before Turkey day. We will reschedule! The setup takes a bit.

Hey folks. I know as a player one of the biggest things we hold dear is character development. Being topside, sometimes we miss the little details that you hold dear.

I know that a lot of you have created wonderful back stories that you wish to develop.

I would love to help with these things as I can.

As a disclaimer I won’t be filling requests for powerful dm items, but if you need help with character development.

For example you need some dm spice to help bring your story to life, inbox me.

Send me your details, your back story. Label some goals you wish to accomplish. I won’t be able to get to you right away, but who knows… at some point you may find your character full-filling those moments. These details help me as a dm make interactions with your characters extra special.

My event is on hold for at least two more weeks.

Finals are coming up as well as an exam the week before. We are also having more crashes than usual atm. Hopefully that’s better in two weeks.

Hey everyone just to offer some transparency, i've been away longer than expected due to the recent tornado activity. It missed my home by a few miles thankfully, but it has leveled several towns in my area. Unfortunately we suffered a loss in the family as a result. I've been attending funerals and helping with cleanup as a lot of the people effected, where friends of mine growing up.

My return at this point is very soon. Stay frosty!

On the Dragonmere

    Out on the Dragonmere during broad daylight a battle broke out between two ships. One vessel struck her colours, a red flag with a laughing skull in its center. Onlookers quickly recognized the ship as a pirate vessel. Quickly engaging, a sloop of war marked as a member of the Free Sails quickly met the challenge. A rake of arrows leaped out from the pirate ship as several wizards aboard the Free Sails ship began their casting. The arrows bounced harmlessly away from magic protecting the Sloop of War. 

    In return three fireballs leaped out from the Free Sails sloop and each hit their mark. One fireball exploded against the mast of the pirate vessel, and another engulfed the rear of the ship where the captain stood shouting to his men. The third fireball was expertly aimed below the water line of the vessel. It hit with a sudden sizzling fury, and threw up a plume of steam that suddenly engulfed both ships and blocked any view of the battle from afar.

    Fighting raged for an hour before finally, two more ships joined the fray and entered the field of steam with all speed. Talk of the Red Boot Pirates began filling the city of Valkurs Roar and has since made its way to surrounding areas. Praises for the Free Sails and their heroic work against these Red Boot pirates are given throughout Cormyr... But who are the Red Boot Pirates?


Some say this is far from over.... Some say the Red Boots knocked over a rich merchant ship years ago and have been missing in action ever since... Why are they back? The streets are abuzz with rumors. Far out from Valkurs Roar harbor a charred half sunken vessel looms as an eerie reminder.
