Avalon Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I've been reading from one of the last 3.5 ed books titled the Elder Evils and that got my head churning. What if one of the primordial beings lost in creation arrives back/awakens into the modern world. Stuff like strange weather and other effects herald its arrival and there are those who seek to hasten its return. Anyone interested in something like this?
Dr Archeville Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 "I'm sure zhere is a perfektly rational explanation to all zhis...." Seeing as how Things From beyond do tie into Doktor Archeville's backstory, such a tale could be a good fit for him.
nareik123 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Me! Apocilyptic (spelling?) is always intense. I am so into survival and then beating a God.
Avalon Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 I'll start it off around late June. It will be more of a gradual build-up, however, with thing like giant sea monsters and natural disasters up first.
Vaalus Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Things like this is exactly why the Norseman is here. If there's a space open count me in.
Avalon Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 What I was thinking is what if we could have everyone involved? To those who have the DnD book Elder Evils, try to look up on the entry there for Leviathan. That's more or less what I plan to do with this. So things would go something like this: Stygwyr finds a spire rising up from the middle of the ocean and learns there of the slumbering Leviathan. He goes back to Freedom City and proceeds to perform rituals/steal people/etc. to awake the elder evil. Then the heroes (or anyone else for that matter) try to stop him and halt the ceremony/ceremonies.
Dr Archeville Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 You should probably try and find some way to work Adrian Eldrich into this: this is the sort of thing he specializes in. Maybe he's "hired" us to enact some crucial part of his plan to send it back.
dementedwombat Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Heck, I'm sure The Knights of the Round Table would have some interest in stopping an apocalypse. Count me in if there's a spot open.

How about if you guys were tasked by Elderich to defeat the cultists (and Stygwyr) who are trying to quicken Leviathan's awakening while he tries to slow down the process from Leviathan's side?
Nyrath Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Exile might hopefully fit in somewhere. As for why; he's bound by oath, pact, and treaty to provide assistance in instances like this.
Dr Archeville Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Avalon, you still got this in the works, or has it been moved to a back burner?
