sea_wyvern_by_benwootten.jpg

Welcome to Wyvern Watch a Dungeon World campaign set on the high seas of Nerum. I’m looking for four seaworthy adventurers who are willing to brave monster infested waters, cursed treasures, and who think they cross swords with pirates.

Character Submission Guidelines
If you’re interested in playing please submit a character, it’s pretty easy to make one using this system. Please don’t fill in any of your character’s bond yet, wait to that until I’ve chosen our final party. Recruiting will remain open until monday to give you plenty of time.

If you don’t already have a copy of Dungeon World it can be found here.

Please make all of your rolls using invisible castle or orokos, just so long as I can look up your rolls should the need arise.

Characters will begin at level one with 3d6 rerolling ones and twos for attributes. Please choose your races and classes as outlined in the book. I will only be taking one player of each class so keep that in mind when making your submissions. Remember that you will probably be spending a lot of time on or near the water so bring your water wings if you’re not a strong swimmer.

Special Rules
Firearms will be available for use in this game.
All guns include the messy, loud, and reload tags.
The Spellslinger class is available for play, and the rules associated with it can be found here.
The Marksman class is available for play, and the rules associated with it can be found here.
The Swashbuckler class is available for play, and the rules associated with it can be found here.

When you finish your character please answer the following questions:

*What did you do in order to find yourself sailing for Wyvern Watch?
*What is one rumor you’ve heard about Wyvern Watch and why does it interest you?
*Who are Queen Casiabella and Prince Cassius to you?

    I would really like to get involved with this, but don't have time until tomorrow for character creation. I'd be interested in either a fighter or Druid; if someone really wants one or the other I'm flexible.

    Apparently I am unable to roll for stats properly, however... Oh well :P

    Cassandra Defay, 1st Level Bard
    Fiery Eyes, Wild Hair, Traveling Clothes, Thin Body

    HP: 16/16
    Damage: d6

    Str: 12

    Wis: 12

    Human
    When you first enter a civilized settlement someone who respects the custom of hospitality to minstrels will take you in as their guest.

    Arcane Art
    When you weave a performance into a basic spell, choose an ally and an effect:

    Heal 1d8 damage
    +1d4 forward to damage
    Their mind is shaken clear of one enchantment
    The next time someone successfully assists the target with aid, they get +2 instead of +1

    Then roll+Cha. ✴On a 10+, the ally gets the selected effect. ✴On a 7-9, your spell still works, but you draw unwanted attention or your magic reverberates to other targets affecting them as well, GM’s choice.

    Bardic Lore
    Area of expertise:

    Legends of Heroes Past

    When you first encounter an important creature, location, or item (your call) covered by your bardic lore you can ask the GM any one question about it; the GM will answer truthfully. The GM may then ask you what tale, song, or legend you heard that information in.

    Charming and Open
    When you speak frankly with someone, you can ask their player a question from the list below. They must answer it truthfully, then they may ask you a question from the list (which you must answer truthfully).

    Whom do you serve?
    What do you wish I would do?
    How can I get you to ______?
    What are you really feeling right now?
    What do you most desire?
    A Port in the Storm
    When you return to a civilized settlement you’ve visited before, tell the GM when you were last here. They’ll tell you how it’s changed since then.

    Rations (5 uses, 1 weight)

    What did you do in order to find yourself sailing for Wyvern Watch?

    Cassandra has spent her life sailing the seas- learning the songs and stories that tell of heroes past, and from time to time being fortunate enough to sail with heroes as they build their name, of being the first one to sing of men destined to become legends themselves. She has a good nose for heroes, and has chosen this vessel for her next voyage. A good sign for all involved, surely.

    What is one rumor you’ve heard about Wyvern Watch and why does it interest you?

    Monsters, treaasure, fame and fortune are magnets for heroes. Though she had sailed before in search of Wyvern Watch, she had never found it (though there had been adventures galore regardless- that was the best part of setting sail with would-be heroes. It was never dull!

    Who are Queen Casiabella and Prince Cassius to you?

    Queen Casiabella may be a queen, and thus famous, but she doesn't interest Cassandra. Fame is only part of being a hero of legend, and sitting on a throne doesn't afford one the luxury of the rest of heroism- the ability to explore, to put oneself into danger's lap and spring back out. The Prince, now, was a different matter. Cassius was one to go out hunting pirates, avenge perceived wrongs, and was generally made up of much more heroic stuff. Though Cassandra had never met the Prince, she would probably find the meeting intriguing.

    60707-red-monika_400.jpg

    Human Swashbuckler level 1
    Nadine Seksuel's alluring eyes and striking body belie her wild, untamed nature. Her wild hair and lewd clothing reveal much more about her true character as a fiery bandit queen.

    leather armor (1 armor, 1 weight)
    bucklet (+1 armor, 2 weight)
    dueling rapier (close, precise, 1 peircing, 2 weight)
    adventuring gear (2 weight)

    Bonds
    My heart aches for Captain Sheridan Andrews. For all her bluster and cries to the contrary, Nadine is a secret romantic.
    Birstead Brustlefoot and I have crossed blades more than once. Nadine and Brustlefoot go way back.
    Kalmar Yolen wishes to learn at my feet. The druid knows how to have a good time. Nadine can teach him to make it, wait for it... legendary.
    My pride has been wounded by Cassandra Defay; I shan't take it lightly. Seriously?! You've never heard of the infamous bandit queen Nadine Seksuel? SLANDERER!!

    What did you do in order to find yourself sailing for Wyvern Watch?

    Nadine is interested in one person and only one person - Nadine. Self-centered and volatile, Nadine was previously a bandit and garnered quite the infamous reputation. With more and more wanted posters hanging with her visage, it's become difficult to continue evading authority. There's also the minor problem she has with owing money to the kingpin Rand Dominiare. Then came word of this expidition to Wyvern Watch. Treasure hunting? That's for me!, Nadine thought. She signed up for the voyage and set sail for Wyvern Watch.

    What is one rumor you’ve heard about Wyvern Watch and why does it interest you?

    Treasure. Piles of treasure! Enough loot to buy your own kingdom. Nadine's only interest is making herself wealthy beyond her wildest dreams. It would also be nice to get that filthy Rand off her back. If she can get her hands on that treasure Nadine is sure that all her problems will be solved.

    Who are Queen Casiabella and Prince Cassius to you?

    Queen Casiabella means nothing to her except as the same authoritarian figures who are always trying to spoil her fun. Prince Cassius, however, is a different problem. His royal pain-in-the-ass has lead multiple parties in the attempt to capture Nadine. Worse, the prince is infatuated with her. Obsessed might be more accurate. He finds her wild nature and assets alluring. Prince Cassius believes that if he can capture Nadine and maybe use the proper leverage, even violent methods, he can make her his bride. Nadine, however, has no interest in being any man's trophy wife.

    I guess this is open to anyone? Fortuitously, I just finished reading the Dungeon World book. I'm thinking Cleric, perhaps of a sea god. Let's see ...

    Clarke Agmundr, 1st Level Cleric
    Sharp Eyes, Strange Hair, Normal Garb, Thin Body

    Str 13 (+1)
    Dex 12 (+0)
    Con 13 (+1)
    Int 13 (+1)
    Wis 14 (+1)
    Cha 14 (+1)

    HP: 21
    Damage: 1d6

    Human:
    Your faith is diverse. You can cast and be granted Visions Through Time as if it was a cleric spell.

    Deity:
    You serve and worship Dakuwaqa, the Shark God, He Who Waits Beneath.

    Doman:
    What Lies Beneath

    Precept of your religion:
    Dakuwaqa relishes the blood and meat sacrificed by his followers. Your religion has important sacrificial rites, add Petition: Offering

    Divine Guidance:
    When you petition your deity according to the precept of your religion, you are granted some useful knowledge or boon related to your deity’s domain. The GM will tell you what.

    Turn Undead:
    When you hold your holy symbol aloft and call on your deity for protection, roll+Wis. ✴On a 7+, so long as you continue to pray and brandish your holy symbol, no undead may come within reach of you. ✴On a 10+, you also momentarily daze intelligent undead and cause mindless undead to flee. Aggression breaks the effects and they are able to act as normal. Intelligent undead may still find ways to harry you from afar. They’re clever like that.

    Commune:
    When you spend uninterrupted time (an hour or so) in quiet communion with your deity, you:

    *Lose any spells already granted to you.
    *Are granted new spells of your choice whose total levels don’t exceed your own level+1, and none of which is a higher level than your own level.
    *Prepare all of your rotes, which never count against your limit.

    Cast a Spell:
    Cast a Spell

    When you unleash a spell granted to you by your deity, roll+Wis. ✴On a 10+, the spell is successfully cast and your deity does not revoke the spell, so you may cast it again. ✴On a 7–9, the spell is cast, but choose one:

    *You draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot. The GM will tell you how.
    *Your casting distances you from your deity—take -1 ongoing to cast a spell until the next time you commune.
    *After you cast it, the spell is revoked by your deity. You cannot cast the spell again until you commune and have it granted to you.

    Prepared Spells:
    *Light Rote
    An item you touch glows with divine light, about as bright as a torch. It gives off no heat or sound and requires no fuel but is otherwise like a mundane torch. You have complete control of the color of the flame. The spell lasts as long as it is in your presence.

    *Sanctify Rote
    Food or water you hold in your hands while you cast this spell is consecrated by your deity. In addition to now being holy or unholy, the affected substance is purified of any mundane spoilage.

    *Guidance Rote
    The symbol of your deity appears before you and gestures towards the direction or course of action your deity would have you take then disappears. The message is through gesture only; your communication through this spell is severely limited.

    *Bless Level 1 Ongoing
    Your deity smiles upon a combatant of your choice. They take +1 ongoing so long as battle continues and they stand and fight. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to cast a spell.

    *Cause Fear Level 1 Ongoing
    Choose a target you can see and a nearby object. The target is afraid of the object so long as you maintain the spell. Their reaction is up to them: flee, panic, beg, fight. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to cast a spell. You cannot target entities with less than animal intelligence (magical constructs, undead, automatons, and the like).

    Lawful:
    Endanger yourself following the precepts of your church or god.

    Load: 5/23
    Gear:
    Shield - +1 armor, 2 weight
    Mace - close, 1 weight
    Adventuring Gear - 1 weight
    Dungeon Rations - 5 uses, 1 weight

    What did you do to find yourself sailing for Wyvern Watch?
    Much like the sacred animals of their god, the clergy of Dakuwaqa are a territorial, migratory, and an agressive lot. When Wira Tito, another priest of the Shark God, appeared in the small town of Puddleend, Clarke sensed that it was time for him to move on. Asking Dakuwaqa for guidance led him to a ship departing for Wyvern's Watch. One look at the holy symbol of the Shark God was enough to get him passage.

    What is one rumor you've heard about Wyvern Watch and why does it interest you?
    The other sailors upon the vessel speak of riches and treasures to be found on Wyvern Watch, but it was a different story that caught your ear. An older sailor, Cahya Aroha, seemed to prefer to speak of monsters that prowled about Wyvern Watch, guarding the riches and treasures the rest of the crew were so eager to plunder. One beast, a vast octopus of unheard size, in particular caught your attention. Octopi are the hated foes of Dakuwaqa, and he always rewards those who spill their sweet blood within his waters. The sacrifice of such a creature would doubtlessly earn much favor from the Finned Lord.

    Who are Queen Casiabella and Prince Cassius to you?
    Dakuwaqa teaches that it is best to always know the biggest fish within the ocean and Queen Casiabella and Prince Cassius are certainly some of the biggest fish on land. The other crew have suggested that they are the funders of the expedition to Wyvern's Watch, although the captain has yet to confirm or deny the rumors you have heard. Prince Cassius is supposedly a kind-hearted man who seeks the best for his people, but the rumors are far less kind to the Queen. Some would claim she is even as bloodthirsty as Dakuwaqa Himself, but such rumors are no doubt spread by those who oppose her rule.

    Preceded by the sound of a scrambling climb and muttered curses, you see a north-man with a powerful build pull himself over the gunwale and onto the deck. Kitted out in practical leathers for diving, he nevertheless has to wring the seawater from his braided hair. You ponder how a goatherd from the landlocked north is so accustomed to life at sea until he fixes you with his haunting eyes. He gives you a sheepish grin and wanders off before you can say anything.

    Kalmar Yolen
    Human Druid (Neutral)

    Land: The Open Sea
    Tell: Long White Whiskers.

    Stats:
    Str: 14 (+1)
    Con: 12 (+0)

    Armor: 1
    HP: 18
    Damage: D6

    Gear (4/20 load):
    Hide Armor
    Shillelagh
    Poultices & Herbs

    What did you do in order to find yourself sailing for Wyvern Watch?
    Felt the call. Kalmar had settled north, as far from the sea as possible, but the call still came. Five long years he's tried to resist the ache in his bones, until finally he could take no more. Selling off his herd and signing onto the crew of the first ship he found, he's determined not to lose himself to the deep this time- with a destination and a crew, surely he'll be able to keep his head above water?

    What is one rumor you've heard about Wyvern Watch and why does it interest you?
    The spirits have whispered of a foul relic there that corrupts the land around it. If Kalmar can destroy it, perhaps the spirits of the ocean will no longer clamour for his return.

    Who are Queen Casiabella and Prince Cassius to you?
    Brutal colonialists. Many of the peaceful northtribes have been subjugated under their rule, their land and food stolen to feed their greedy empire. While Kalmar has no head for politics, he has seen enough northmen starve to know that there is not a shred of humanity in these two distant rulers.

    BONDS
    Sheridan smells more like prey than a hunter. Seems a nice enough fellow, but he's never had to really chase what he wanted.

    The spirits spoke to me of a great danger that follows Birstead. All his boldness has made a splash- something big has begun to circle.

    I have shown Cassandra a secret rite of the Land. She respects the sea, so it is only right to teach her one of the Rites of Deference.

    Nadine has tasted my blood and I hers. We are bound by it. That was a pretty wild party.

    Okay, updated my post with the answers to the questions requested.

    Quick question, Sak- is there anywhere you could point me to with background on this setting? I gather this isn't a build it your own style game, so I'd like to get a bit more of my head around the setting, especially since I'm hoping to be the bard :P

  • SakutianSakutian Registered User regular
    I will post some info about Wyvern Watch and the setting this evening. However keep in mind Dungeon World is designed to encourage the GM and the players to build up the setting together in a very big way.

    Here is some artwork that I kept looking at as I was imaging Wyvern Watch for what its worth.

    I think I have to make a character now.

    But first, I have to run some errands.

    Yeah, I nearly made a Spellslinger myself but then I got this concept in my head and ran with it. A chance to play an amoral character was just too tempting.

    A halfling of normal size, his cold eyes always scanning the bar. You might be tempted to say he was hiding beneath his wide brimmed hat, but you'd be wrong. Beneath his faded poncho, there's a glimpse of a plain ivory wand. By the way he holds himself, the best word to describe him is sturdy. "So you've got questions, do you? I hope you've got cash, because you're buying the drinks."

    *What did you do in order to find yourself sailing for Wyvern Watch?
    - The news in the market was that they’d take anybody that could pull their weight. I had to put that to the test the night I was run out of Varson’s Cove. You kill one Mayor and the whole town gets cross. The bastard was working with local pirate crews to snap up unwary merchants in the nearby waters but would anybody listen to me? No, of course not. So I signed up in the next town over to make myself scarce in the area.

    *What is one rumor you’ve heard about Wyvern Watch and why does it interest you?
    -Word is, there’s a scoundrel calling himself the Pirate King that’s using the reputation of Wyvern’s Watch to hole up nearby or in the cursed place itself (the stories vary wildly on the details as to why and where exactly he lays anchor) so he can rape, pillage, and burn to his little black heart’s desire. I want to see him dead or in chains. Don’t really care which, either.

    *Who are Queen Casiabella and Prince Cassius to you?
    - The prince is alright, if a bit of a naive twit. The Queen though is a piece of work. But, as much as I hate to admit it, she's got style. if you believe the stories anyway (which I do.) Taking your own criminals, bandits, and pirates and setting them at your enemies is pretty slick. Well that and turning a blind eye as long as bandits and pirates give a portion of their 'profits' to the crown. Truth be told, I've probably made myself a bit of a nuisance to her by dispensing justice to such types when traveling. Like I give a rat's ass.

    __________

    So that's my submission. I'm not fully sure if he should be Good, Lawful, or Chaotic. He's not particularly nice some of the time, and the only authority he pays much heed to is his own. Really, any of the three would fit, but I see the most match with Lawful.

    Here are the notes I wrote out about Wyvern Watch while I was standing around at work this evening. Hopefully they meet with everyone's approval.
    original___minerva_cavern_by_wynahiros-d4wy3ov.png

    Wyvern Watch rests on the western shore of Nerum, a vast and mysterious land plagued by dark magic and horrific monsters. It was once a stronghold for Triton outcast who had been corrupted by dark magic and driven out of the sea. For more than a century these monstrous denizens of the sea captured any vessels that ventured too near to their shores and imprisoned their crews. Stories of the terrible fates that befell anyone unlucky enough to find themselves a prisoner in Wyvern Watch were whispered in every inn and tavern along the Oarless Sea. Finally an armada of ships made up of the fleets of several kingdoms, pirate ships, merchant vessels, and even fishing ships set out to put an end to the threat.

    The Battle of Broken Masts saw hundreds of ships sent to the bottom of the ocean as their decks were rotted away by the Triton's magic or their hulls were crushed by the terrible sea creatures that allied with them. In the end the Tritons were defeated and the survivors fled into the watery depths to wail among the grim garden of drowned bodies.

    With all of their ships destroyed or unfit for the long voyage home the survivors were forced to resettle in the ruined city. The hulls of their largest ships were used to erect homes and walls to shelter them from the elements, and the beasts that came in the night. A new city steadily rose up from the charred bones of the old one.

    Treasure hunters, tradesmen, and outlaws were all drawn to the new settlement for their own reasons.

    My favourite part! I tried to go off the vibe of each person's submission, so let me know if I'm a bit off.

    Sheridan smells more like prey than a hunter. Seems a nice enough fellow, but he's never had to really chase what he wanted.

    The spirits spoke to me of a great danger that follows Birstead. All his boldness has made a splash- something big has begun to circle.

    I have shown Cassandra a secret rite of the Land. She respects the sea, so it is only right to teach her one of the Rites of Deference.

    Nadine has tasted my blood and I hers. We are bound by it. That was a pretty wild party.

    My heart aches for Captain Sheridan Andrews. For all her bluster and cries to the contrary, Nadine is a secret romantic.

    Birstead Brustlefoot and I have crossed blades more than once. Nadine and Brustlefoot go way back.

    Kalmar Yolen wishes to learn at my feet. The druid knows how to have a good time. Nadine can teach him to make it, wait for it... legendary.

    My pride has been wounded by Cassandra Defay; I shan't take it lightly. Seriously?! You've never heard of the infamous bandit queen Nadine Seksuel? SLANDERER!!

    Kalmar Yolen’s got guts! I’m glad they’re on my side.

    Captain Sheridan Andrew can stick their disapproving looks up their arse!

    I ain’t never turnin’ my back on Cassandra Defay again.

    I can’t remember if it was Nadine Seksuel or me that got us kicked out of town that time.

    I like the possible relationship between Nadine and Birstead. Sure the two may not like each other very much, but they probably tend to run in the same circles. And it's old friends and old enemies (rivals?) that know you the best.

    A couple of these could probably be switched around without affecting much, but I kinda like these. Anybody's got different ideas, don't hesitate to speak up.

    I dig it. Reading through his character that's exactly what I saw happening between them. They don't like each other and despite their best efforts at continual mutual hatred they just work too damn well together. I'd assume they were enemies with their opposing alignent views. In fact, I think I'm going to change their bond to the "Crossed blades" one instead. Just go ahead and embrace that emergent backstory completely. Edit: Nah. Seems just right. I'm really excited to explore that relationship more. EditEdit: You know what? It implies a more personal relationship so I did make the change.

    I don't think Kalmar quite grasps just how impressive my talents are. That'll be easy enough to fix!
    Nadine and I are old rivals. And I'll show them up again this time, too!
    I've got Birstead watching my back, and I know I can always count on him. Even if I don't approve of his methods.
    Cassandra never really forgave me after that one time we went drinking together... and Gods above can the girl dance!
