What would be the nearest equivalents to Dorothy, the scarecrow, the tin woodsman, and the cowardly lion in the D&D world?
Glinda asks what kind of witch Dorothy was, so lets make her one. I believe there is an entry for scarecrow in one of the Monster manuals. Should the Tin woodsman be an intelligent iron golem, and make the cowardly lion and intelligent but cowardly lion, not a man in a lion suit but an actual lion/ what would be the experience level of this group if you combined them into an adventuring party? Would they have problems if they wandered around the Forgotten Realms. What might the public reaction to them be if they entered a civilized city such as Waterdeep? This might be a good idea for a bit of fan fiction.
Dorothy Gail comes from Kansas in the late 19th century, she is an orphan raised by her Aunt Emily and Uncle Henry, her aunt and uncle don't talk much about Dorothy's birth mother, only to say she died under mysterious circumstances. Dorothy's mother was a strange person, no one seems to know where she came from, she married a Kansas farmer, she had a child she named Dorothy, and both her mother and father were killed. One witness claimed he saw a duel between her and some other lady throwing fireballs. Dorothy's mom conjured up a storm, the farm house was burned to the ground as a result. Dorothy's Mom was never seen again, her husband died in the fire, and Dorothy was placed with the farmer's sister Emily.
Later on in Dorothy's teenaged years another storm brewed up. Dorothy ran into her aunt's home while the rest of her family took refuge in the storm cellar. The tornado ripped the house from the ground and carried it through a gate leading to the Forgotten Realms and then sets it down some where amongst a halfling village. There on her journey she meets a scarecrow, an iron golem with an axe, and an uplifted lion who's afraid of his own shadow.
