Okay, Ryan was kind enough to get back to me with some further information about the set-up for the first adventure.
Recall the background info...Emperor Coaltongue is dead, Leska has declared war on all magic-users (referred to as The Scourge) to try and establish herself as the next emperor of Ragesia. An army marches for Gate Pass as part of the Scourge, and the leaders of the city have sealed the walls hoping to be spared the wrath of Ragesia.
The resistance has a vital mission for the heroes, to get some inteligence out of the city.
So, some possibilities for the characters' involvement:
1. PC is an established part of the resistance, and cooperates with the mission just to follow orders. A character working with the resistance movement doesn't have to share all of the organization's goals. Maybe they hate Ragesia, or Shahalesti, or both, and just want to keep all the armies out of the city. Maybe there is a grudge against Leska and the Inquisitors. Or, perhaps the character has some loyalty to the city itself, and wants to help protect Gate Pass from invasion.
2. The character may just want to escape from Gate Pass. With the coming of the Scourge, the leaders of Gate Pass have sealed the city walls, preventing anyone from entering or exiting. As the resistance mission involves sneaking out of the city with this military intelligence, characters may just want to ally with the resistance as a means to get out of town.
