Histories of the not so distant past
Hey there, folks. Been thinking about our past history as a party. I suggest the following:
The party has been questing for the sun fragments for the past year. Each fragment had a separate quest associated with it, the undead village mentionned by Rashka being one of the many, many surprises they found along the way.
Nature of the quest: From Eblue's opening post, it seems we're questing for a sun-based weapon/spell/artifact that's to be used against the Big Bad. Mialucus' in it for cash rewards and sheer thrills (with maybe a little friendship thrown in there for flavor), so who among us has a big bad they want to set up for the fall?
How the party came together: I'm guessing the group came together sometime before the begining of the current questing. Don't really have detailed background on anybody, so this is just off the top of my head:
- As a young elf Mialucus runs away after loosing face in a duel (litteraly).
- Meets up with Caden and Rashka in a big city, they hook up during an organized crime capper and he joins their already established Inquisitive team (solving tragedies, running on rooftops, beating up orcish/trollish/giantish gangs, saving the city from a mindflayer invasion, you name it, they did it).
- Meanwhile Roithe and Stick are having outdoorsy/dungeonny adventures up in the Northlands
- Signs and portents, the Big Bad is coming/waking/breaking his bonds. Has, in fact, been behind most of the trouble faced by both teams *while still far away/asleep/bound*! Kings offer rewards, send armies, armies get toasted. Time for heroes to assemble.
- Everybody meets up on the quest for the first fragment, say when the two teams both make their individual way to the secluded monastery near the town of Jurnae, where lies the Lost Library of Ages and its gardian sage.
What do you think? Just a rough outline, modify away to suit your character concepts, please. Main point to fill out = who/what is the Big Bad?
Suggestion: We could have had a sixth member at the begining (six sun fragments, six adventurers? Could be each fragment quest was geared towards a perticular adventurer's inner demons?) but he/she passed away in a suitably dramatic/heroic fashion along the way? Anybody interrested in having that has a motivator?
