D&D 5E Keep on the Borderlands - OOC (Filled UP)
[MENTION=6855204]tglassy[/MENTION] are you happy for Slipper and Derek to have had adjoining cells for 6 months as part of our shared background?
I am keeping Slipper very young (16), so a 10 year prison stint isn't going to work.
But say the last 6 months before Derek and Slipper get released?

Slipper is almost half-wild, but having survived his youth by his wits and ability to 'look after meself' he is finding the people less tolerant of his behaviour as he nears manhood. He has 'acquired' a stash of gear to enable a quick getaway if his welcome is outstayed. His first foray into independence led him to get involved with a group of adventures that required someone "handy" to help them explore ruins that had claimed the life of their last rogue. For six months Slipper helped clear the traps and undead denizens of the ruins.
During this time several of the party members fell but so close to the end goal, the party leader Argus Lothebroke decided that bringing in extra people after "most of the hard work was done" would not be in the parties interest. It was then that Slipper noticed the other members dying in "accidents" or bad "tactical decisions" with alarming regularity and the young rogue knew his time would be come and that the greed of Argus would know no bounds. So one evening he took his share of the loot and fled.
A month later he was on charges for stealing from Argus and the murder of his companions. The young boy was tried and found guilty, despite his assertions as to his innocence. For six months he was locked in a dank cell, his only contact with Derek in the next cell, both of them framed and both with a distinct displeasure to how the law was being enforced (well to be perfectly honest, Slippers grasp of the law is tenuous at best.)
Sure that he was facing the hangman's noose, Slipper worked on his escape from the prison and the day before he was ready to escape he was acquitted of all charges. Apparently a drunken Argus has boasted of his exploits in the presence of members of the city watch and under questioning had confessed to the crimes. Two days later his neck was stretched by the hangman and two weeks later, Slipper was free.
He was surprised to see Derek released on the same day. The man did not look at all like he had pictured, but at a loss at what else to do he asked a simple question. "Do you mind if I tag along with you?"

Well, I made a high elf diviner in post 59, but since characters haven’t been selected yet (and honestly it’s no big deal to have two of something), I say make whatever you want.

Duh, ok. I guess I'm so used to DMs accepting all applications that I just assumed we were all in.
That would be a large group indeed, I may look into it, but no promises yet. Need to look over how I want things to play out. For me this is becoming a combination of a bunch of different adventures I like. So the premise will be to have a starting base (The Keep), and a bunch of locations for the group to choice from to explore as well as side quests from the local people within the keep.
And lets not forget anything the players come up for their characters within their backgrounds. Any goals the group has will be encompassed within all the dungeon crawling and political intrigue.
