[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 6151498, member: 63746"] No problems with this. Let's note that John and his band *are* likely there doing 'improper' things and are a bunch of low-lives to begin with, so the traditional "heroe rescue out of shared fellow feelings" is not too likely for a motivation here -- at least not from John himself, can't speak for Big John or our Grorn bard (who, given his background, might actually know the gnome-illusionist PC somehow?). Just saying the initial situation will need a little push to get started at first, so that "retreat quietly into the shadows" is not the likeliest and most reasonable of options... Like maybe your gnome runing right to/right throught the group as they're digging with the cultists/undead in hot pursuit? :devil: (Or the aformentionned "one of the gang just charges in to rescue the guy" would work too, off course, if a bit less dramatically). What would be his motivation for staying/continue to associate with (what's left of) the group after that initial meeting though? (That's assuming Steeldragons gives us a choice in the short term, of course :)). Might want to combine 1 and 2 for that: run in *and* "hey I know that guy/gall!". Or we could move the entire incident in the (recent) past, if our DM prefers? Or his mother might actually have slept with a dwarf? Stranger things have happened. :) [/QUOTE]
