Campaign Starter: The Retinue

Here’s a campaign starter I was thinking about using at one point soon:

You are the hired help. You start as grunts, torchbearers, henchmen, wizard apprentices, etc. And you followed the stalwart adventuring party on their greatest adventure.
And then you watched as those shining heroes battled the evil dragon king in his fortress of doom, and you saw how the heroic knight held off the dragon’s breath with his shield, you saw the arch-mage blind the beast, and you saw as the last ditch effort of the elven bowyer struck a last defeating blow in the dragon kings’ heart. Victory was theirs.
And the celebration lasted all of seven seconds.
Then the dead dragon crashed into the castle, ripping everything in its path with it into the abyssal depths.
Including your employers.
You are now struck behind enemy lines, in the middle of a wilderness, weeks away from civilization.
Welcome to level 1.

I should work that into a game soon. Maybe as a one-shot or a mini-campaign.
