[quote=@Crimson Raven] My character started out when it was formed too. I re-did a few details. This mission is Gaius' first solo stint as a tactition. He was recommended by his father to the king when the group was being first formed. The king, remembering Gaius' father's talent and skill, quickly gave his approval. [/quote] You might want to add that to his bio as it is currently lacking the "Rationale" category. [quote=@Lugubrious] No need to get fresh, Prince. We could easily have an encounter with a bandit group at the start of the Reclaimerss' mission, and get attacked, thinking we're easy pickings. As we turn the tables, we beat them, and a several of the brigands are captured. Since we don't want to run back to the capitol, we keep the captured brigands (really the more morally doubtful of the characters) and press them into watchful service for the kingdom as penance. Sound good? [/quote] Sorry that sounded kinda rude, and I suppose that would work though I can't imagine the king being happy about it. Also we have one of the dark mages who explicitly stated that the character had no interest in joining the Reclaimers. What are we going to do with that?
