A party begins to take shape

I don’t want to trump anyone’s bio or character concept, so if anything in this post runs counter to your thoughts on your character I can adjust it.

I’m starting to get a feel for why the characters know each other and might be found adventuring together.

Aldrin (John’s Warlord) has come to the colony to prove himself as a leader and adventurer. I’ll leave it to him to explain his bio. He’s been making his living by leading expeditions into the wilderness. A farmer might want to remove some dangerous creatures from his land, and he’d hire Aldrin to assemble and lead a party to do the job.

After leading several expeditions, Aldrin has established relationships with a dragonborn fighter (Brian) who can provide muscle, and a tiefling warlock (Doug) who’s good in a fight.

The wizard (Guy) has been working for an old mage called Sihirbaz. Sihirbaz will create ritual magic on demand for all sorts of practical things, like draining bogs, or purifying well water. He often prepares these rituals as scrolls and has underlings actually cast them in the field. Guy’s character is one of Sihirbaz’s ritual castors. On a few occasions he’s had work to do on expeditions led by Aldrin.

There’s a Halfling (Jim) who also works for Sihirbaz, running errands and doing odd jobs around his store front in the district called Alzarad.

Aldrin has made it known to many of his associates that he wishes to form a party to seek treasures in ancient ruins. He’s just waiting for the right opportunity to present itself.
