[QUOTE="ajanders, post: 381769, member: 3271"] [I]I told my players "Write me a good background for your characters and I'll start you as something more then first level." Sarah, for example, actually started as a Druid/Sorceror 1/1. Kenston started with an income. And then along came the Flie brothers: a character with a henchman. I trimmed the levels, but left the relationship mostly intact. I do play Shubert sometimes. but Hiram's player is pretty good about keeping the character up.[/I] Rain dropped on the porch roof as Hiram and Shubert Flie leaned back in their chairs. For a long time, neither one spoke. Finally, Shubert broached the uneasy silence. "Reckon we's out o' whiskey, Hi?" Hiram hawked and spat off the side of the porch. "Reckon you made us so, little brother." "Now don't git all worked up, Hi. Y'all liked it when I did m' firebreathing act." "If y'all had jest stuck to breathin' fire, I'd a not had a problem, Shue." "Well that's awful thirsty work, Hi. Y'all should try it some time." "Might could be I will, iffen we take up lodgin's in a cookstove. Until then, you an' I need to leave the firebreathin' alone." "Reckon it's a good thing it 'uz rainin' last night, leastways, warn't it, Hi?" "Praise Morrow fer little blessings n' pass the whiskey, Shue. 'Ceptin' we're out o' whiskey." "I said I was sorry, Hi!" "So'm I, Shue. So'm I." They sat and looked at each other silently for a long while. Finally, Hiram stood up. "Reckon this problem ain't gonna git solved less'n we go find some payin' work. You with me, Shue?" "Sure am, big brother. Reckon there's a caravan hiring in town?" "Sure hope so, little brother. You leave anything inside?" "Reckon it's not worth going in to find out." "Git a move on then..." Hiram shouldered his pack and helped his brother settle his on his arms. Then the two of them jumped off the side of the porch and walked down the back trail towards town. As they did, they walked past the charred side walls of the cabin, stepping around fallen bits of the collapsed roof. "An' the next time you have a yen to perform a firebreathin act, Shue, y'all do it [b]outside[/b]." "I said I was sorry, Hi..." [/QUOTE]
