[QUOTE="Starman, post: 2902836, member: 7663"] What self-respecting game master doesn't work with his players to come up with the background, anyway? Here are some ideas to help get your brains flowing. -Some of you knew each other before hand, but you all first met everyone else when you dealth with the slavers. -Perhaps a few of you were captured together and worked together to escape. -You made it to Ironwall. There you heard about Prince Karhold's son being taken by the slavers. All ready determined to go back after the slavers, you realized that you could rescue the Prince's son, as well. -You heard rumors that a creature named Grimnoth was the leader of the slavers. The rumors were never sure what he was, some said he was an orc wizard, others said he was worse. -Rumors said that the slaves were being used to build an orc city, a black tower Grimnoth would use to ascend to godhood, or that he was digging a tunnel to free some ancient beast chained beneath the earth. -You encountered a patrol from the Griffin Company during your pursuit and made a friend or contact with them. -You battled with some night elves at one point. They may or may not have been working with the orcs. -The slavers were known as Night's Furies. -The slavers were known as the Bloodhammers. -The slavers were known as the Storm Company. -You managed to kill Grimnoth's lieutenant and most of the slavers, ending their threat, but Grimnoth escaped and swore revenge. -Grimnoth's lieutenant was a hill giant. -Grimnoth's lieutenant was a half-fiend orc. Obviously, some of them are mutually exclusive, but it should help give you guys something to build off of or to generate some ideas of your own. [/QUOTE]
