[QUOTE="MrWildman, post: 4102652, member: 51928"] Hello and welcome, Ross. "Brief 28-year hiatus"...welcome [I]back[/I] is more like it. A lot of us are coming back. It's cool. :cool: I have a suggestion for your party's motivation. Coup d'etat. Rowan Atkinson's "The Black Adder", episode 6 featured the "Black Seal", a group of the six most evil men in the land. They're assembled (by the guy who plays Mr. Bean!) to overthrow the King and seize the throne. Mostly they were parodies of Robin Hood's men, a dwarf named John Large, Friar Bellows, and so on. An NPC Prince, or Princess ;), could be recruiting ruthless types to remove inconvenient relatives. If a PC dies then the player just introduces another criminal (think "Oz" or "Sopranos") to the gang. "Brief 28-year hiatus"...welcome [I]back[/I] is more like it. A lot of us are coming back.
