"The Lich-Queen's Beloved" is a challenging D&D adventure designed for four 18th-level characters (players will start at level 17). Vlaakith CLVII, the reigning sovereign of the githyanki race, is edging to her final phase of becoming a true god and attaining true immortality. If she gets her way, every plane will suffer in her wake. Will you be willing to stop her? The adventure will use races (githyanki and githzerai available below and any others), classes, backgrounds from any 5e official book that has been released (no UA). There will be added rules due to venturing into the Astral Plane. Gith Traits Gith features a number of common traits. Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1. Age.

This continued until Primus was happy with what he had made and sent Scout back out into the world. Scout's training prepared him for combat and life by himself. He is still human though, so twitches of ideas and emotions still fill his mind from time to time but he remains lawful.

Name: Ethan Age: 25 Experience: 10 years tabletop Race: Githyanki ( i don't particularly like gith, i'd rather be something else if that's an option, preferably a human or high elf) Class: Wizard (preferably lore master, but if that's not allowed i'll do evocation) Background: Sage Background Story:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Oe7Q8OCm5I" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Oe7Q8OCm5I</a> :D I'll come up with a real story if you want, but i'll need more info on your world and the story you're trying to tell. right now, all i know is that there's a lich queen and she's a gith. (which doesn't really make that much sense to me honestly, because the gith that stay in the astral planes are immortal anyway and liches need a steady supply of fresh souls to continue to exist, so a gith becoming a lich actually seems counter productive). My greatest strengths are my reliability (i can be there every session, sober, and on time) and my dps.

Name: Will Age: over 30 Experience: loads Character: Drakhar Race: Githzerai Class: Grave Domain Cleric Background: Gladiator Background Story: His simple life was torn asunder when Githyanki pirates tore through the monastery where he served. The raiders were not satisfied with their plunder so they took also hostages. No ransom could be paid and the Githyanki did not wish to keep slaves so their captives were &nbsp;made to fight to the death as one final humiliation. Drakhar was no fighter but he killed each opponent he faced, each death darkening his soul and bringing him closer to the embrace of the eternal keeper of the nether realms. As he looked upon his &nbsp;final opponent- a silent gith monk wrapped in black cloth, &nbsp;he knew he was outmatched and offered a final prayer for himself and the souls of the other fallen, imploring that in death they find their ways through the astral sea to a place of eternal solace. He felt an answer that his soul would not be lost that day.&nbsp; The final fight began but when his formidable opponent leapt at him he &nbsp;sailed past Drakhar and set himself upon a Githyanki guard, taking his sword and then his life. Drakhar joined forces with his former opponent and together they slew &nbsp;the rest of their captors but the battle cost the life of his silent ally. Drakhar never learned his name but the tragedy of so much senseless death and the miracle of &nbsp;his escape set the surviving young Githzerai on a path of devotion &nbsp;to the domain of the grave.&nbsp;

Name: Emma Age: 27 Experience: been playing D&D since 3.5 Character Name: Harmony Race: Tiefling (winged with some cosmetic alteration if aloud.) Class: either celestial warlock or divine soul sorcerer&nbsp; Background: Acolyte&nbsp; Background Story: Harmony's birth was not what was expected she was very angelic which was no surprise due to the celestial blood in her family but no one was expecting the little horns and black feathered wings, those were sings of something else. Nonetheless she was accepted into the temple with love Sune welcomes and loves all her children. Growing up people looked at her with either awe or suspicion, the suspicion was mostly out of the temple and thus she hardly left. People would come from all over just to get a glimpse of her at the temple. After coming of age she chose to leave the temple in order to help others and discover what makes her so different &nbsp; &nbsp;

He handled minor things like drunken travelers and the occasional theft, and seemed to enjoy his job. Then one night the undead came. Led by a necromancer intent on scavenging more corpses, even if he had to make living people into corpses first, they sacked the village. Kraenar had never delt with anything like this before, and when his village needed him most.... He ran. He hid in the woods and listened to the sounds of the villagers he was sworn to protect being slaughtered. Once the carnage was over, once he could see what had been done to the few bodies that were left behind, he swore to never freeze again, and never stop hunting the undead.

Name: Hassan Age: 22 Experience: over 1000 hours on Roll20, 6 years of playing various RPGs, and about a year of 5e Race:&nbsp;Human Class: Wizard Background:&nbsp;Sage Background Story: Invictus&nbsp; was born into the clergy, raised by the clergy and then became part of the clergy. His fate and his actions seemingly decided for him from birth. As a child Invictus was reprimanded many times for his curiosity and blatant disregard for tradition. He was discovered to have arcane magic in his blood, which only gave his peers more reason to look down on him. He just couldn't care about the rules when there was something of great interest to be leaned. This unbound curiosity pointed him to the arcane. Self-trained in the arcane arts he learned many thing that couldn't be taught by a holy man, chief of which was the ability to control your own destiny; to take charge of his own course. Eventually his obsession with the arcane art was discovered by the leaders of his sect and he was cast out by them. Invictus had a must unusual reaction to this, he was happy. Probably the happiest he has ever been in his whole life. Something happened as a result of his own action, something he cause, he controlled. He could now control the wind that pushed his sails.

Name: Atherian or Ethan Age: 18 Experience: 3 years of both roll 20 and d&d Race: Hobgoblin Class: Wizard Background: Far Traveler Background Story: Ulrik SparkAxe was an outcast in his village. He wasn't accepted by the savages of his tribe for being to civilized, and he wasn't accepted by civilization for seen as a savage. He was accepted by no one. He fell into his studies, searching out powerful artifacts and knowledge in the hopes someone... anyone would accept him. He came to realize that the hate that everyone had given him was what he could use to fuel his blades. He learned to harness this rage. He learned to harness this arcane force. He was an intermediate. A force of chaos and tranquility. He studied for hours then trained his blades. There is no one like him. His story is his own. And he knows this. He uses his powers for his own needs. I can rewrite this character or use one of my many other characters.
