Description

Continuation of Alpha-Bravo, under new GMship. The Longest Road (as one might guess from the name) is a Planes-trekking adventure with our dear old friends from Alpha-Bravo. Characters are beginning at 14th level, with ECL figured into that. And what a crazy assortment of characters they are...

Brief plot synopsis: several artifacts known as the Orbs of Dragonkind have gone missing, all at once. There's a centuries-old dragon war going on. The demons of the Abyss are somehow now involved in it too. Sil has had a vision of the dragon god Bahamut lying bleeding from the neck, a vision that left her with a splitting headache and growing sense of dread. The PCs have some orbs; the ones they have seem to vary from run to run. The Church of Tamara recently lost two to a traitor: white and blue. The red orb has been entrusted to That Old Man for safekeeping, or at least hiding. The green and black are in the hands of an abyssal lord, Pazuzu, and the bronze was recently recovered from the Plane of Water. The brass is next; in a great desert in the Wilds of the Material Plane.

Orbs we have as of the last run: Gold, Silver, Copper, Bronze.

Update: We got all the metallic orbs together an woke up Bahamut. Tiamat woke up shortly after. Io took them aside to spend some time together as a family. Now we're taking a little bit of downtime before heading back down into the Abyss to rescue Aezma and stop a war.

Longest Road House Rules - NEW! Some rules I may or may not decide to keep.

Calendar

At least on the Material Plane, the calendar follows a 365-day year, with 12 months corresponding to our standard ones. (I'm going to rename them and haven't decided the exact names yet, will fill in as needed.)

The current year by Spire and Fiana calendars is 1372 A.F. (After Founding). By Alsomia calendars it's 1792 A.F. (it's a slightly older nation).

Bahamut and Tiamat were resurrected 3 Lightning Moon (August 3rd), 1372/1792. Work from there. (When are your character birthdays? Other than Ezel, who had a birthday (wtf?) on July 1st/1 Blessing Moon by my reckoning.)

Months

Astrology on the Material Plane

  • January = Wolf Moon
  • February = Cold Moon
  • March = Wind Moon
  • April = Growing Moon
  • May = Flower Moon
  • June = Horse Moon
  • July = Blessing Moon
  • August = Lightning Moon
  • September = Harvest Moon
  • October = Blood Moon
  • November = Snow Moon
  • December = Dark Moon

Birthdays

  • Marcus - 10 Wolf Moon (January 10th)
  • Oraine - 3 Wind Moon (March 3rd)
  • Teris - 27 Wind Moon (March 27th). And he's a rogue. Go fig. (Randomly rolled too)
  • Michael - 31 Flower Moon (May 31st)
  • Ezel - 1 Blessing Moon (July 1st), at least according to his mother...
  • Aezma - 1 Blessing Moon (July 1st)
  • Nula - 7 Blessing Moon (July 7th)
  • Zahn - 28 Blessing Moon (July 28th)
  • Sil - 3 Lightning Moon (August 3rd) as a gold dragon. (Take that, Mom. :P) (Though she probably was a Lightning Moon baby anyway).
  • Senyo - 20 Blood Moon (October 20th)
  • Ellowyn - 18 Snow Moon (November 18th)
  • Vin - 24 Snow Moon (November 24th). This is Sil and Zahn's best estimate, so they adopted it as his birthday.
