That works suprisingly well. I didn't think of just hiring folks. Our poorer characters, like Beach Guy and the Goblin Footpad can't hire people to help, though. They'd need to actually make friends first, which is hard for a slave and goblin to do (casual racism FTW, it seems).I'm just trying to get everyone to think of their motivation, what quests they'd be involved in and why and maybe even get a few plot ideas kicking around. Our slave, for example, doesn't seem to have many oppertunities to get involved as a slave, so maybe he could escape and appeal to our 'good guys' for help, whilst his owner pays the less benevolent characters to look for him. I dunno, I'm toying with ideas here.
