Storm Bringer Actual Play - Character Generation

The Meal 
 Last night as I said  as we had last spoken, I had gotten a ride over to my friend Larry's house. We were greeted by the usual round table of players. The meal was already piping hot & waiting. The fire was roaring & we ate as well as BSed catching up with old friends, etc.
The meal coincided of  roast pork, string beans, a lovely wine, & home made apple pie for desert. The whole thing went very well.
The pitch 

After the desert we were given our character sheets & given the pitch! 

The pitch was in essence's Larry's latest vision for the campaign.
" While the church of the Pan Tang has been gain more & more converts you are members of a lonely outpost at the edge of the world. The forces of chaos have over it run the citadel & now your party has escaped into the world! 

A chaos pack is on your heels & so run, run for your lives! Along the way you might scavenge weapons, armor, & anything else you might need but move for the very devils of hell are after you!"
That is until you stumble across a man in strange garb with an odd weapon! What will you do?
 

We grabbed him & got the hell out of there.
The characters will be mostly from the same area, place, & time with weapons picked up along the way.

There's not a lot to go on for now. This was playing in the background while we were eating. A very odd little tune to be sure. Did I mention Larry's a WWI mini war game enthusiast? This is all we were given & told to go!
