Greetings,
I will soon DM a sort of Spanish commonwealthish city campaign with sailing backstabbing and politics and I want some general advice onto how I can keep the group together and focussed. We're in Pathfinder. They're 3 guys playing following concepts: CN female melee bard starting the adventure as courtesan, CG female wind oracle starting as the daughter of a rich noble and her NE urban ranger bodyguard.
We will start out in the brothel/bar were the bard works and the bodyguard regularly is customer. The daughter is guest there as well without the knowing of her father (so she thinks). I want the adventure to start with some kind of ambigous thuggery for cash. I need a way to cut the fatherly funds from the noble daughter (probably assassination and a changed will to inherit someone else), release the bodyguard from her father's payroll (firing a NE hero is kind of suicide imho). Getting the courtesan away from her demeaning job is kind of easy actually.
Also are there common tricks to increase the unity in the group? If they'd play their characters to heart the backstabbing inside the group would be immense.
