I think my players are getting to the point that they are pretty confident with what classes they want to be. My next step is figuring out how to incorporate their vision of their characters into the AP.
Player 1 wants to be a Dwarven Cleric of Abadar, and sees himself as a lawyer-type who would assist the sheriff in acting as an arbitrator for minor disputes.
Player 2 is not too difficult either as he wants to be a Dwarven ranger (I don't know why there is a Dwarven fetish thing going on here, but I digress). He hasn't given me much as far as what he wants his role to be, but I figure I could set up Shelalu as his mentor and he could help with some scouting in the region.
Players 3 & 4 want to be a sorcerer and a summoner, respectively. I don't know how to incorporate a background for these two, but I figured that with the summoner, I could run some story of how she became bonded with her Eidolon.
Does anyone have any ideas that have popped into their minds? Over all, I want to develop strong stories that will keep my player's interested in Sandpoint and have a desire to follow up on the leads at I present them.

If they are Varisian or worshipers of Desna, they would be tied to the beginning pretty well. Swallowtail Festival is Desnan. Father Tobyn was a Desnan Priest, as is his successor, Father Zantus. Also, a certain goddess is the sworn enemy of Desna.
Hopefully, they will be invested by then.

The dwarven ranger could also be connected to the Black Arrows in the 3rd book.

You could have someone have a relative become a victim of one of the happenings in book 2.
Since the temple in Sandpoint is new, I offered the introduction point of having my party either be hired to help build it (an architect's assistant, and two day laborers (one local, one a traveler from very far away)), or be locals from the general region (a local ranger, and a paladin; both of whom have family in the sandpoint hinterlands). The only one who didn't fit was a wandering gnome.
