So as we all know, there are multiple teams exploring the Necropolis. Aside from The Scorched Hand, the other teams are pretty much left up to us to flesh out if we want. Since I love this kinda stuff, I was wondering what my other DMs were planning to have these character's personalities like?
For me, Falto of the Cryptfinders is the party's tour guide of the hookah lounge. He's pretending to be fairly drunk to try to get more info from the party while introducing them to everyone else. He's also all for making himself look better in telling the story about his guild, even at the cost of his other party members. He's by far my favorite so far. They don't care since he's good on his word about loot. The Summoner has social issues, speaking better with his eidolan than other peple. The Cleric has a bit of an addictive personality and will be either smoking or passed out.
I have some of the other characters fleshed out a little. The Daughters of the Desert are a bunch of flirts, while the barbarian is the only one that'll put out the quickest. Some of the others the players will have to work for if they really wanna hit it (this is a fairly common request for my group). Mad Dog and one other I called The Wolfhound are the only members of the Dog Soldiers that are at the bar. Mad Dog is drinking away his sorrow and The Wolfhound is there to make sure he's not going to get into any trouble. The other members are taking care of the remaining fighting dogs. Black Kiss is a bigger flirt than the Daughters and uses it to her advantage with trying to get info from other groups. The others are fairly recluse, the Rouges don't even talk while the Magus is curious when it comes to the arcane.
So yeah, that's how I'm planning to flesh out the other groups. So yeah, how are you guys going to flesh them out? I'm always curious about this stuff.
The funny thing is that in my Runelords game, the cleric player created her own Goddess to worship - Averta, Goddess of Roads and Travel. Her two sacred animals are rabbits and dogs - the paladins are also called Dog-Soldiers, and the preferred animals summoned by Summon Animal are Dogs, Wolves, and other canine-themed entities.
The moment I saw the Dog Soldiers, I immediately thought "Worshipers of Averta!" If only we didn't have a year's worth of Runelords left before us, and other APs planned as well! ^^;;
Ha, that's pretty cool. Well The Wolfhound is a cavalier so that's kinda paladin like. Maybe I'll borrow that Averta thing for them.

I plan to have the Dog soldiers and the Daughters of the desert in a competition to wow a local crowd as the PCs arrive. The daughters will be doing acrobatics and knife throwing tricks. The dog soldiers will be performing tricks with the hound mounts. I figured that would be a cool scene to act out.
