Then we could roll up or design new characters. Are there built-in plot hooks that are meant to be used by PCs in OotA? I ask because I'm also playing in a game of "Lost Mines of Phandelver," run by mips42; and one of the instructions in building our characters for that adventure was to look over the plot hooks of the pre-builds and choose one of those hooks for each of our PCs. Does OotA have such built-in hooks too? Re: Running away:  in Stonefast, we already decided not to follow the retreating "elf," although that's not exactly the same thing. Also, some members of the party (Colden and Spec) rescued Fulgrim from the water-beast; and we then didn't follow up by attacking the beast, but withdrew instead. Does that count as running away?In my LMoP game, my PC has "running away" as his Flaw; and he has already suggested accepting an NPC's intimidating command to "go away" as being a great idea. (That's on the first day of adventuring, before completing even one long rest in that game.) Overall, I think I'm OK with running away -- or "withdrawing," as the case may be.</blockquote>
