Just for fun...

A different and slightly more difficult play style that I have been doing lately. It's somewhat of a challenge and kind of fun. I put some restrictions on myself to up the difficulty. (could not figure out monk or druid so I had to leave it off the list)

No fast travel to anywhere unless it is by cart (i.e. Any of the Capitals or if the Hearthfire dlc is installed, any place the cart driver can take you) or boat (i.e. Solstheim or case Volkihar)

Skill points can ONLY be put in the skill trees for that class

Stick to your class skills, armor, and weapons

Must remove all armor and weapons in the capitals except for mages robes and must be clothed (boots and clothes at the least)

Spells must have the appropriate perk in order to use With the exception of Novice level spells

Most classes may join ANY faction 

Shouts, Lycanthropy, and Vampirism can be used by most classes if you wish

You MUST rebuild if you wish for a new class (end of Dragon Born Dlc rebuild) No cross classing.

If you go legendary on a skill you MUST use appropriate level spells

Have fun

Where do I begin...

It started off in Neverwinter, the group had just gotten back from testing out the sailing mechanics in 3.5e (Stormwrack). After a some what successful attempt at dicing up a Ram Fish, they head back to their tavern they have named “Minty’s Reatreat” (long story) and came across a merchant from Chult named Hasim (only name I could come up with in time because I lost the original) and sold them some more exotic stuff (Arms and Equipment guide) and they they set out for the Whale bones.

As the continued, the party arrived at the fortress of a wanted criminal, Ledford “sharkskin” Roberts, (one of the party is playing a bounty hunter/ RPing Doc Holiday and keeps trying to give me a stress induced stroke) and started to infiltrate his Hideout. one party member is a Hadozee (think glider monkey) and decided to glide from tree to tree. about the 4th or 5th tree he fails his stealth rolls and SOMEHOW Manages not to be heard by the guards (some of my players read this so no numbers).

they reach a cliff that is on the island and Doc holiday uses Fog wall. 4 of the 5 make it up the cliff (an Illumian I will call Alpha-Bits) who fails the climb check. Well the Rouge/Archaeologist named N.D. (Yes ha ha) has Slippers of Spider-climb and hands them off to Alpha-Bits and he makes it up about half way and just to make thing more fun I roll a d100 to see if he slips out of them and falls. It Worked but he grabs the rope and gets back to the slippers.

They get to the top finally and the find a shack acting as the barracks. the make their way along the eastern wall of this shack and accidentally make some noise. They knock out the guard by having a Psuedo-dragon the Rouge befriended (named Shorty...) and got to the vault of the captain. the do some craftiness and get in. as they decend the stairs the find a room with a large flaming basin and 6 Chests (guess where this is going) and they start searching the chests for traps

I tell the Rouge (who is searching one of the chests) to roll for performance. He pauses and asks“what was that for?”

“You start humming a tune he heard the barkeep was humming at one time.”

 “ok? but why?”

 "Because the chest is humming it too...”
