Character creation questions

• What drove you out of the City Above? • You and another player character barely escaped from a dangerous situation recently. Who was it and what happened? • Recently, you and another character returned from a delve with an item for a wealthy patron. They wouldn’t give it up – why, and what was it? • What’s the most dangerous beast or individual you’ve heard tell of, and why haven’t you defeated them yet?
