This stat block took me a while to make. It’s for Oloma, after she claimed the title of Queen of the Demons, and her new role as a powerful NPC in my Greyhawk game. DEMON LORD, OLOMA This eerily beautiful human looking woman has delicate dragonfly wings and a long tail that sways back and forth. CR 30/MR 10 XP 9,830,400 …
Meet the Cast: Zan
When it comes to rogue characters and Greyhawk, my thoughts ALWAYS go to one of two places: a halfing from the notorious Hardbuckle clan of Elmshire, or a female Rhennee from either the City of Greyhawk or the waters of the Nyr Dyv. I’ve played both quite a few times; in fact, a Hardbuckle perished outside the moathouse in Hommlet …
The Story So Far…
When my friends and I initially started the Savage Tide Adventure Path, I tried to write down a summary of all of our adventures. I’ve only found one such summary, the one for the introductory adventure “There is No Honor.” The rest of what follows are fairly simplified versions of the events that transpired during the groups inevitable voyage to …
Meet the Cast: Belanor
It was bound to happen that I would create an elven character for this experiment. Elves are my favorite fantasy race, and most of my fighters have never performed very well, so I wanted to see how a 20th level fighter would fare. During the battle, Belanor didn’t disappoint, in fact, he struck the killing blow. His equipment is a …
Meet the Cast: Damien

My first character ever was a ranger, so they’ll always hold a place in my heart, so the work …
Meet the Cast: Eshana

Eshana Female human (Zindian) cleric of (The Goddess) 20 LN Medium humanoid (human) Init +1; Senses detect chaos; Perception +10 …
Meet the Cast: Oloma
Oloma was initially created to fill an arcane spellcasting / rogue void in the initial makeup of the original party. I was inspired to create a female spellcaster by the iconic sorcerer in the Savage Tide Adventure Path, who would eventually grace the cover of Dungeon Magazine #143. Oloma Female half-human (Suel) / half-succubus rogue 1 / sorcerer 19 (Pathfinder …
The Savage Tide
Way back in 2009 when I was living in San Diego, California, I started to DM the Savage Tide Adventure Path (STAP) with my gaming group, then consisting of two other people. One of them rolled up a ranger, the other a druid. “No big deal,” says I. I decided that they might need some roguey-ness and perhaps some arcane …
