It took a long time but finally each of my players thought of a character concept. I will have a warforged scout, a male human warlock, a halfling spirit shaman and a rogue from Cyre. Now I'm looking for an interesting way to get all these characters together. Something uncomplete I thought about as a possibility: There has been stormy weather for some days which is getting worse every day. The warlock won't travel any longer and check in at a tavern. I want the warforge to arrive a little later. In the tavern, there are some farmers drinking and discussing the lousy weather. One of them will become quite aggressive and will start to accost the warforge. (Some of his family members were killed in war by warforges.) Warlock helps -> two characters travelling together. Storm is over. The spirit shaman travelling through the woods hears some whimpers and will find a little puppy of an unknown species - and blood. It is obviously that the puppys mother and his brothers & sisters have been killed. Not far away is a camp where evidences could be found that whoever is camping there has killed the animals. The Cyran rogue is on his way to Sharn. He travels the street down to Sharn when he suddely gets surrounded by some bandits that "recommend" him to give them his money. Warforge and warlock arrive -> fight noise -> spirit shaman arrives -> party together Maybe not the best plan, but one that might work. What I'm looking for is a secret behind this random encounter, something exciting to hold the party together. The mercanaries that found and killed the animals do not gain very much money for this job, so they thought killing the animals and trading their coats would end up in some extra money (and hey meat is meat and tasty). Also opportunity makes robbers... What I need is a reason why someone (in Sharn) wants these animals to be found and destroyed. Magical experiment? Mhm... Any other ideas? If you have another plan how I could bring these characters together - we will start in the middle of Breland - feel free to post :)
