[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 6774168, member: 18333"] Just as a side note...I just started a side campaign for only 2 pcs. I'm using "Harried in Hillsfar" as a base. We just made PCs and talked about the background of the adventure, and since the players wanted to start (but they only had about 20 minutes to spare) I improvised a beginning to the campaign. One of the PCs a Hill Dwarf wizard had already escaped from Hillsfar (the city has become xenophobic so they have expelled all non-humans and only use non-humans to fight in their arena). He was hiding in bushes outside the city. Then that PC saw another Hill Dwarf (monk) running from the city chased by 3 guards. The two Dwarves tried to make a stand against the 3 guards, and they were promptly knocked unconscious. At first I was a little upset that the PCs went down that easy, but actually it is a great way to begin the campaign. Now they will be tied up and hauled back to a prison in Hillsfar. They'll have a chance to escape and this will give me a chance to give them some pre-adventure experience that will help them bond. I think they will meet another Dwarf in the prison (a war cleric). Since I pre-thought the motives of the city guards (trying to apprehend instead of kill), I was able to save them from death and keep the story going. [/QUOTE]
