The BHoS is my first group concept and came to me when I was told of the current lack of "proper" Banites on EfU. This group is basically, Banites, working together to spread the teachings of Bane, possible HQ shall be the Temple of Hoar, seeing as it was empty last I checked. I am currently thinking up more plans if the group proves popular...

If you are interested then either reply in this thread or PM me IG (Marcion Diel) or on the forums.

I will also accept any suggestions you may have aswell. ;-)

yeah if you take the temple of hour then team good won't let you last a day. maybe you should try somewhere in the sewers? by the by, how does bane feel about Moander?

If you get a group together I'd be willing to run a prelude for you guys.

I sent a PM, but haven't gotten a response. I have my build completed. And I'm ready to go whenever as long as the prelude (If there is one) is an agreeable time.

Build completed? Lol.

Yes, I premade the build on a different server to test it. I almost do that for all my PCs, so I'm not disappointed if I make a mistake.

Is the OP even alive >_<

Whoa!

*runs into froum quickly*

Sorry, was on a break due to study, just got told today of the responses!

Sorry if I kept ya all waiting!

Thanks for the responses, i'm willing to go through with this if I get enough support! 8)

Others that are interested post in the thread >_<

Woo! Let's spread the tyranny, fear, and strife!

I have some potential members that may/may not be interested in joining. So far we are three.

I am totally game if a follower of Moander is allowed to be a part of it.

What is the difference if you follow bane/moander if you aren't a cleric. You could start off as moander and we can convert/beat you into submission on the prelude or sometime once we are IG as some kind of conflict that could even involve ssalteesh lizardfolk if this idea has any depth.

well the idea is that I already have a moanderite character, and while yes, you could beat him/her half to death, I would prefer to have him/her still be desperately trying to gain Moander's favor while helping baanites sacrifice people. However if Moander is not on good terms with Bane, there'd be no reason to do that IG, would there?

No, I definately wouldnt think so.

Moander hates everything, and just wants to consume them. I hardly think he would be on any sort of terms, let alone good ones, with Bane, or anybody else for that matter? :wink: Also, Moandite Clergy are all controlled by Moander, through the use of seeds implanted in their Brains, So it might be hard to have decent relations with anybody, beyond other Moandites.

Right, anyone who has anyone else who wants to join should get in touch with me through the forums! (Cant get on EfU atm due to time conflicts)

I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out, a prelude would definately be interesting.

I am so in on playing Bane, lets get in touch... Bane makes me Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think we have plenty now. We should talk in an IRC channel sometime about our builds and what we'll do.

Will do, before I do start though, what timezones do you guys play in? I'm in Scotland so thats the GMT.

EST -6

petey512 yeah if you take the temple of hour then team good won't let you last a day.

Team who? It's more than possible to cut deals with several of the factions jockeying for power in Upper and Lower and do well as open followers of Bane. Several outspoken, reform minded Banites have prospered on the Council, in the Spellguard, and (less commonly) in the Watch. Good luck!

Hey! Stop trying to spite us Paladins :evil:

Though if you could hold off on any highly-destructive plots for a week or so after Montezzi dies or wins, that'd be apperciated.

It's more fun to have giant chaotic plots all at once IMO. Besides we haven't even spoke about what we'll do IG.

About that someone (Looks to the OP) should PM us all with his/her goals and whatnot.

My PC is basically a loyal follower.

Well, I cant be bothered sending PM's to each player so I'll post the groups main objectives here...

The main objective of The Black Hand is to set up a prominent stronghold within or around Sanctuary for followers of Bane to gather and worship, much like The former Shrine of Ascension or The Shrine of Helm outside the city.

They seek to achieve these objectives through shrewd politics, mutual assistance to their "allies" and even assassination if the need arises!

I hope that, in time this group will take up a prominent position in the events within Sanctuary, only time will tell.

As for the prelude, assuming one of the DM's want to run one...

It shall start with The Banites "acquiring" weapons and supplies from a hostile camp (Drow, Duergar or anything similar). From there it shall be them making there way to Sanctuary, probably via The Sewers, but thats up to the DM to decide. My character shall be the "self proclaimed" leader due to his age and experience. Once we arrive in Sanctuary, we shall hopefully acquire a headquarters of some kind, most likely through force...

And thats pretty much it really. Now all that is to be sorted is to arrange a time for a prelude that suits everyone, preferably on a Saturday.

Till then my brethren! xD

This weekend is fine for me if we can get it done that quick.

Serve no one but Bane.

Interpret as you will.

Garem

Serve no one but Bane.

Interpret as you will.

I see that as a good thing. 8)

Well, Speak with caddies if he's still interested in doing the prelude.

I'm not, sorry.

Good luck though!

All that's left for us to do is when we'll start then.

Well, I am pretty much free for this entire week due to being off school, so anyday from Mon-Sat this week would be great...anyone else?

Either today sunday or monday works for me.

Will have to be later than that most likely due to various reasons.

Oh, and a note out to anyone wanting to be part of this, if someone could make a sort of assassin like character, it would be great!

Well I have a character that could easilly be recruited to bane, he'll meet up with you guys later methinks.

Try and get a date set, Can't do it on friday saturday sunday. Before then I can probably as long as it is after 3 PM EST.

cripes... I still got a week of school left. Let me see how my schedule goes and i'll set sumthin up.

Well, it would take sometime for a DM to set up a prelude so I think we still have at least awhile to go yet.

Caddies said he isn't available for a prelude and I'm getting restless in wanting to play the PC I made.

Ok, DM's been contacted, now we wait.

And yes Relingquish, I feel your pain, I want to play my Banite PC now too! T_T

New player here...Whats the status on this group?

Dormant for a while, send me a PM if you have some interest in the group.

Made a cleric of Bane. Hopefully i can try to start up a faction. Got some ideas for it. Want it to start off small and organized. Instead of getting tons of applicants and not know whats going on.

Just wanted to give this a little bump. Thought it might spark interest for people looking for new concepts. We are working our way towards some big things but need some help. So if interested please!!! send me a pm. Also the Black Hand is willing to work with these following faiths.... Mask, Lovitar, Talona, Malar, Garugath.
