I think Nerve would be a stranger to most of the group as well. Though perhaps he's been watching them ... none of you are particularly observant, after all. I could also definitely see him engaging in guerrilla type tactics, especially if he was fighting solo.

I think I'll go with the story that he's been watching some or all of you, and followed you when you answered the Baron's call, if you're all ok with that. In other words, he has a fair idea of who you are, but you don't know who the heck he is. You might have seen him around the town once or twice, but never really noticed him. Make sense?

You know me. Sob stories are my forte.

I could've added poor sick little Timurianthiel (also called Timmy) asking me to avenge his parents by killing the orcs who slaughtered them. But I never liked that little brat anyway (or his stupid parents).

Yeah, I read the recruitment speech. 100 GP for defending a lightly fortified village of 30 against the orcs untill the baron's troops show up.

Not too much, but there is always battlefield loot.

And the good relation to someone that might become king...

100gp isn't much. As you have to share it through 5
Just a joke, it is for each of you.

How about Paranthraxus and Mordok found the Eladrin Wizard while guerilla-attacking the Orcs and they call came back to the Baron's keep together? We meet the other two PCs at the keep. Sound like a plan?

I'm perfectly fine with shortening it. Lord Sessadore is a bit long to type every time you want to refer to me, haha. As long as I can tell you're talking to me, I don't care. I've had a lot of nicknames over the course of my life

If it is ok with the others, you all can come up with any background you like (and that isn't outright silly).

Sounds good to me. I'll follow in the shadows ...

As for background for Nerve, he's been on the frontier sort of keeping watch on the orcs. He's struck at them a few times over the years, but when the orcs finally rallied to invade once again, he knew he needed some help and made a sort of guerrilla fighting retreat, ending up at ... wherever Baron Loxlyn rules. Then the watching and waiting and following of likely candidates for companions began...

Well, I'd prefer to be on my own in the beginning ... after all, I have no reason being out in the woods on my own, waging a guerilla war on the orcs (a war I am not being paid for to boot ).

So, after his last job as a caravan escort, Argivion probably lingered around town looking for people who'd pay him for protecting them from unpleasant things (or for doing unpleasant things to others).
He's been in town for a week or maybe two and the baron's offer is the best thing so far.

I have no problem with Nerve following my character around (although he must be bored to death if he follows an umemployed mercenary around).
EDIT: LS' post came up while I was writing my post (and was waiting for the upload). So there actually is a reason for following a jobless merc around.

Oh, Nerve doesn't get bored. Though watching people is something he'd do if he had nothing else to do . But yes, this time he has a reason (this time...)

BTW:
Orcs no longer have their own language, right? They now speak Giant, don't they?
