Farnoth and Nicodemus Cavindel - Wrath of Vengeance

 
 
     As Mike has said, him and I have been RPing through the hours of night and day through Skype talking back and forth. This isn't just one campaign but two; the first being Farnoth Cavindel back, and I mean WAY back when I started to seriously roleplay when I first went into the basement and learned what DnD was. (I actually forget why I went in the first place but I think it was Warhammer related and Mike and I sat with each other at lunch and I asked him about it)
     It basically started when it was Tyler and I, as well as a couple of you I believe (Sorry, I just remember Ty), when the entire forest was set ablaze and I was captured, then a series of events which seperated us and I went to do my own thing. I know this might spark a few memories, which I hope it does, which made me want to make that point of how far this actually goes.
     After the Farnoth campaign has drifted off due to unknown reasons, which I still don't understand to be honest, I asked Mike what has happend and he said that he was killed but his family went on and I played one of his sons in the epic Albion campaign where everyone was killed off (and/or left my house due to being too tired) and I was basically the only one standing against the last boss with NPC's, and characters of the group who died in the battle... It eventually drifted off that we were too fatigued to actually care about the rolls and Mike left.
     Then the Marine Corps came and we started talking again about old campaigns and I brought up Farnoth and his family. He then mentioned that he used the same world that we played in and a player character had killed off my entire family except Nicodemus and Hascenda Cavindel, an ork nontheless. So I was royally pissed off and I mentioned that I wanted to fucking kill that ork dead sir dead.
     So the creative juices of that world stirred once again and through 5ish years of on and off, in real life, from Farnoth to Nicodemus, I am playing the grandson of Farnoth, Nicodemus, and making the name mighty once again.
 
     The entire point of this is that, first off, I would like to thank Mike from the bottom of my heart of making this painstakingly beautiful campaign last for nearly 5ish years of on and off, and no doubt with every session over skype he'd always explain suffering builds character. Well, I have definitely suffered in real life and Nico and his family has suffered aplenty...
 
     The second part is that I will be sharing to everyone what has happened through the second part of the campaign through Nicodemus's eyes, from start to finish. We have not finished this campaign as of yet but it is in its' last stages and let me tell you... If you were a part of it, you'd be proud, which is why I want to share it.
 
     It will be some time before I actually post it up, but rest assured, you will see.
 
     The campaign we play is just called Nicodemus Campaign but I wanted to put in a little spice.

  1. haha, I really can't believe it's been that long. I'm pretty sure Farnoth wasn't killed. It was more along the lines of the group losing interest and I set aside Farnoth for quite some time until you brought it up. Obviously it had been a year or two since that campaign, so naturally I killed of Farnoth (mostly due to the fact I lost much of the documents from a bad external hard drive). So, I created an epilogue after his death and introduced his family he left behind. By DM/GMing has shifted dramatically, and the suffering; rising hero has become the premise of most of my campaigns. Giving Nicodemus a kingdom to rule from the beginning would have, I think, lose its luster initially, so I stripped everything away just like most video games we have played. Starting at level 1, Nicodemus had become an EPIC character I have not seen in a LONG ass time. I can't wait to end the campaign and close the book on this elf, but at the same time the years of developing this story and roleplaying it out has stuck with me and though I'm hesitant, I do believe this will be the last time I work with the Cavindels. But who knows, maybe sometime down the future I'll open the Cavindel book once more, but I must move on and create even more epic tales in the Warhammer world. My progressive mentality demands it.

  2. I started off of a beach from a slaver ship on a breatonian shore, whose language I couldn't speak, but ass naked.
