Welcome to Taur Isles!

Game Background

In an archipelago not many years removed from open warfare, the three taur races -- minotaur, liontaur, and centaur -- are figuring out how to set aside their ancient animosities. On Liontaur Isle a band of young adventurers has found the perfect place to set forth on the path to fame and fortune.

Characters

These are the characters, past and present, that have been featured in this game.

Standard Marching Order

Indoors

10'/5' corridor:

Front

Tsak
Gothruk
Finnian Left-3rd/Falco Right-4th
Elyas
Kiwina
Rolth

Rear

This gives us an extra 5 foot space up front for the medium-sized PC to step into if necessary to get off a shot or close spell (color spray!) with Gothruk right behind to use his reach and combat reflexes for AoOs if the enemy tries to step up to that square instead. Rolth and Kiwina have plenty of movement to cross the whole party in one move action if the need to get ahead of the front rank for some reason.
