okay, just to get something up here. How about some current-plot ideas?

We could have a number of things happen to our hapless characters. Some plots include being captured by corrupted, dark-eyed people. Monster attacks (which are bound to happen anyway), coming across a village that seems like a utopia until we discover some kind of twist (Soylent green is people! hah, I kid), of course Edgar needs to prove himself so someone could get hurt and he'd have to fix it, it could provide people with some faith. As a more long-term plot there's tons to do with Carter's curse of turning people into monsters as well. 

There's also plenty of supernatural occurrences. Like the mirror lake, described in the first post OOC. If anyone else has some ideas for the first plot I'd be happy to hear them.
