[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4964847, member: 63763"] One of our campaigns began with the group forming during the boat trip (a coming together while fighting off pirates). I bonded with the wizard as, after he blew the masts off the pirates ship, I summoned an elephant onto the deck, convincing a large number of crew members to abandon ship soon afterwards ;) I also recall being boarded by Sea Trolls. One member of our party had the ingenious idea of tossing the corpses overboard ... d'oh! After shipwrecking (the boat were we on sank quickly, so we had to take over the pirate ship, which was in pretty bad shape as well) we got to an island, but did some deep sea diving in search of treasure in the bottom of boats ... which ended up getting us into some trouble with an intelligent underwater humanoid group. The situation worked well as a means of getting the party together, and for my character allowed for extra fun. As a bard on the cusp of becomming a chameleon, I met each of the party members in the guise of a different class [I convinced the rogue I was a fellow rogue by breaking into my own cabin; I convinced another party member I was a druid thanks to my ability to summon animals ... with a magic item; fighter, wizard and cleric were relatively easy after that] and each thought these other personas were on board ... meaning once I joined the party as a 'simple' bard Jack of all trades, no questions were brought up about the other guys they met as they simply died during the pirate battle.
