I need help with campaign!
#1hello! This is my first topic!
Im not so good at writing english but i think u will understand.
I have come up with a campaign story and need ideas and
critics on the details..(this is gonna be long)
The Rpc are living in a village that have to move becuase of starving.(least 1 rpc starts in that village) A man arrives at the village saying he is the same man that disapeared for over 30 years ago when he went out to explore the uknown area beyond the mountains in the west. But he havent aged a day. He claims that he have found a paradise where the water heal all diceases and gives a endless life. As evidence he have som water on him which he lets one of the old villagers drink from. The women transforms to a young beuaituful girl at age 20. After som discutions
the village deciedes do follow the man.
As they travel they find a man after the road that have lost his memory. He is hungry and very tirsty, seems to have been lost for many days. He joins the part with hope of that the healing water in the paradise will give
his memory back. He just dont have anything else to do..
But as the party gos throu a passage in the mountain a earthquake aquar and big rocks are raining down on the party. Only the Rpc and the man without memory survives. The road back is blocked by big rocks, they can try to get back to the village but they just dont have anything to return to. So they keep going forward against
the paradise.
But there isent any paradis on the other side of the mountains. Its just a big dirty town in a big dirty land. Outside the town it is a big coppermine. The king says that thous who work hard in the mine will oneday
come to the paradise. Ofcourse he is lying, the only paradise in the mine is death. There are also rumors that the king sends out servents to fool outlanders to come with him to the "paradise".
(The Rpc now probebly realises that they also have been fooled, or have they?)
They also hear that many in the kingdom is worried. The priest are
talking about the end of the world. Snowstorms in the summer,
earthquake and other naturecatastrofics are torturing the land.
At the border to the snowcoldmountains there have been found
a big stonegate tatued(wrong word but closest i remember) with mystical runes.
The king have promised a big reword to the person that can open the gate.
There are different opponions about whats behind the gate.
Some say its a tunnel under the snowcoldmountains and that there is
a paradis beyond them. Others say its a big dwarven treasure behind
the door or a prison for a old nameless evil that will destroy the land
if it gets released.
About the gate
Im not 100% sure if the paradise is behind the gate.
This is what i come up with so far:
There is a big(now abandon) dwarfkingdom under the snowcoldmountains.
The king demanded 6 of his sons to head up to the surface and find the cure for his sickness.
3 of them went out the north gate, and 3 of the went out the south
gate.
Its the south gate thats in the land where the rpc iare.
The 3 dwarves sealed the gate with 3 bracelets.
The 3 bracelets and a magic word is required to open
the gate.
So with other words. The RPC have to find the tree bracelets
to open the gate.
Other ideas and thoughts
+ There will be soldiers searching for the bracelets aswell
About the man without a memory
I have come up with a idea that he somehow is related to the nature catastrofics torturing the land.
Maybe he is a god that have lost his memory and doesent remember his powers. So he doesent now that he have them, how they r used and if he r using them or not. So in his confusion he is using them all the time without knowing.
If the paradis excist and the healing water, it will give the god his memory back. He maybe had som important
mission related to the paradis?
Maybe his judgement will be different depending on how good or evil the rpc have acted?
Im not sure what his role will be, but i like the idea around him...
I need help
As u can see there are alot of missing ....things in the campaign.
I need all the help i can get so please come with some ideas!
I havent decided yet if the man that was leading the rpc to the paradis
is the real one or one of kings men. If he is the real one that means
that he have been to the paradis and that means that he must
have had or known where all the bracelets were.(and i dont really like that,
i like the idea more that the bracelets havent been found of anyone who
knows what do to with them)
Another idea is that he lives somwhere in the kingdom but have gone
missing. So the rpc cant be sure if he was the real one or one of
kings men fooling them.
Maybe there are clues in his house on where to find the bracelets? (lets call him arne)
This is like the campaigns main pillars:
1. Translate the runes on the gate(so the rpc know what to do to get it open, maybe the tranclation is in arnes house?)
2. Find the 3 dwarfs bracelets(need help here? Where can they be?)
3. Open the gate(ofcourse there are evil soldiers there when rpc are about to opend it)
4. Make there way throu the dangeorus abandon dwarwen kingdom(like filled with goblins and that kind of stuff)
5. Enjoy paradise=) (or what is on the other side?)
There r surely somethings i forgot now but if i remember anything more i will
post it later.
I really hope u can help me!

#2Hmmm...pretty interesting foundation for a plot Sunilor! Allow me some time to ruminate. (Which probably means other Citadellians will beat me to it) :D
Not sure if your new Sunilor, if you are...WELCOME! -

#3Yeah it was my first posting, thx m8!
Just wanted to say i dont like this campaign idea any longer and im
thinking about som new ideas i have come up with.
I dont think "looking for paradis" is a very good plot for fantasy anymore.
Maybe more suiting for like a future nuclear wasted world or something
like that.
The only thing i know that my next fantasy campaign plot will be about is
that is gonna be some kind of search for something. What the search should
be for im not sure.(oh, almost sounded like yoda there).
I have a idea now that i like:
The PRC wakes up in thier home town.(they dont know each other jet)
They find that they are the ONLY ones left in the town, everyone else
have vanished over night without leaving a track.
They also se a mysterius figure, maybe a man in a black robe(yeah orginal i know)
disapear from the scen.
So the campaign will be about finding thier people, but also find
out what have happend and why the RPC havent disapeared.
The probebly will have something in common. That they somhow
were resistent to what happend and that will draw attention to
som evil guys or something like that.
U r free to come with suggestions and ideas!
