So, by my reckoning we have two Jades (I'm presuming Monkey girl is a Jade here), a Foxglove, a possible Ranger and my crotchety Old Master. That sounds enough to get a decent start.<br/><br/>Now, we have our Jade and Foxglove tied together by a quest for vengence. Do we want to bring the other characters into that, or simply have them meet and come together in other ways?<br/><br/>I figured on fleshing out (to a degree) a small town to kick things off, and give us a spot to work from. Here's a few thoughts on that.<br/><br/>Town name of Prosperity (or something similar), on the fringes of the land, beyond the railway network (though rumours have been circulating that a railroad may be coming this way). Feelings on this are mixed. Some people like the idea of a railway bringing wealth and *ahem* prosperity to the twon, others feel its an incroachment of the Empire that they wanted to get away from.<br/><br/>Much of the wealth of the town comes from cattle, with two (three?) major cattle barons holding most of the land. The third 'baron' is actually an alliance of smaller farmers, who have banded together for mutual protection.<br/><br/>There's also normal farming, and lumber and a few mines in the nearby hills.<br/><br/>The town would have the usual collection of stores, saloons, and so on.<br/><br/>How does that sound to give us some dynamics to work with?
