Need help for tonights game! I am the GM and have drawn a blank. One of the players left our game and we have a new player coming tonight. The player that left (Ranger) had an NPC Cleric with him. The new player is a Cleric. The group consists of a Paladin, Alchemist, Sorceror, and now Cleric. Please help and any ideas would be appreciated.
With something like that you could easily handwave it so that the NPC Cleric is now the PC Cleric. The "new" character has thus always been with the group. It would be a bit of a retcon and I know some folks are against that, but this would be the quickest/easiest method.

That is probably the best way to do it, unless the new player doesn't feel comfortable doing so.
The only other way might be to have the new cleric lost/imprisoned somewhere in the dungeon maybe, and found and rescued by the group.
The cleric was sent as a messenger to retrieve the sorcerer and the cleric for personal matters. He followed the trail of death and destruction all the way in.
The new Cleric is part of a rival NPC band intent on the same goal as the party but when the Characters encounter him, he is the only one left alive.
