Lots of activity.  This is my first Faerun game, so not as keen on a lot of things, but I've at least read up on the deities.  I plan on him primarily following Gond (who is directly subordinate to Oghma), but showing reverence and the occasional offering to several others based on the situation.  I am currently leaning toward hailing from Turmish (I love the Luck of Heroes feat), and that region has a good feel for my character, being somewhat advanced.<br/><br/>Turmish isn't on the map, but based on the description, it would be just east of the Dragon Coast, so very much "on the way" from Thay to Waterdeep.    Stat-wise, here are his attributes so far:<br/><br/>STR: 14 DEX: 14 CON: 14 INT: 16 WIS: 16 CHA: 16 APP: 12<br/><br/>He wields a greathammer (proficiency through the Metal domain), and with the variant smite evil 1/day (I gave up turn undead), he can make solid contact at least once.  So, at level one, he is mechanically capable enough, but he is a touch naive/carefree.  He has a passion for knowledge, so I could see him making an excursion to some ruin he shouldn't have gone into alone, or perhaps he was simply robbed of some things and needed help getting them back.  Lastly, I suppose it would be easiest if he simply hired her to accompany him exploring (she's strong, with ability in arcane and combat, so easy justification there) and then the exploration took them on some winding course to Waterdeep.<br/><br/>Oh, and while my character *can* disable traps, he is absolutely crap at finding them.
