Anyway, bringing in the youngest daughter, I may start presenting some animal companions. We've already got the punk hunting cat (a Lego cat from the Lego movie as I had run out of Lego dogs :) ) who has been following Threndir around and is still hanging around outside the city with the occasional foray into the city to keep an eye on his person).
But we also need to have the next adventure that will appeal to everyone a bit. And as we now have enough players, it will be 1 character per player. We'll still have 4 characters in play, and having been injured enough, the latest has medical skills. I'll still be passing out the "big boy" healing potion, 1 per character, per adventure if they have a patron.
The next adventure starts a few weeks after their last one. They have rested up, the Runt Gubbler has fully charged his staff, and their experience points have kicked in as they practice and learn from the last trip. It was a full moon the night before...
Hans, who was gifted a +3DX ring in the last adventure, had noticed over the last few days that not only were his reflexes and aim better, his sense of smell had improved as well. And no matter how often he shaved, he had significant stubble just hours later. Then on the night of the full moon, a crisp fall moon, he had the strangest of dreams of running like a wolf through the city and out to the countryside. When he awakes, he is in a cage, one of many in what looks like a traveling circus, his clothing torn shreds and the remains of a rabbit next to him. He can see the city walls of Edge City, and knows he is near the southern gate entrance from the walls and gates, having walked the walls enough over the years.
His new companions have been staying at border houses or local inns, spending their newfound coins on room, board, drink, guild memberships and training. Missing their companion at their normal breakfasting at the Bored Boar Inn (they make the best bacon apparently in Edge City), they check out his room, a small room near the Guards Barracks. Finding what appears to be wolf hairs, they of course start to worry. After a day of searching, they finally find the wayward former guard in a cage, being watched by a number of the local citizenry, including a young half-elf healer. She seems to being very concerned by a young giraffe dragon (giragon, dragraffe? I think I like dragraffe)
So, this could bring everyone together. As we'll have 4 players, everyone will play just 1 character of their choice. And we've yet to find Crut's mother and Threndir's ex-girlfriend who may or may not be the same woman. And is the new half-elf a possible sister to Crut? We could have an entire soap opera going!
And as she asked for a giraffe, and likes dragons, we will now have a young dragraffe that needs to get returned to where it comes from - the mountains to the south of Edge City that are on the edge of a desert. And just need a patron to get that started, so we'll have some overland adventures getting there.
