Nonlethal Force

As far as where to start -
We could always do the cliche: Meet in tavern, find out about bad guy, and go get 'em. Given Tullia's background and alignment, that would easily work for her as far as not needing an IC excuse to adventure. I'm guessing that would work for Boarhide and Shei as well. As for the rest, it might work it might not.
If we discussed it OOC first, we could do the reversal of the cliche beginning and be the hunted. Of course there are people out there who wouldn't mind seeing Tullia captured - especially friends as families of marks she ahs already caught. Perhaps someone is trying to capture her (and Boarhide) and Shei gets caught up by association. As for the others, perhaps this some pursuer has something against them as well.
There is always the "damsel in distress" opener. And most characters will undertake any reasonable task as long as there is a promise of compensation or at the least loyalty.
I realize we are kinda low-level to really make this realistic, but there is always the "hunt down the animal ravaging the countryside" beginning, too.
I guess in reality any of these ideas could be for one or two levels and get the party bonded. They could also serve as ways to get the party a minor reputation, leading to further employment - or at least inquiries - later on.
