Alright. I'm going in for my read-through. I've tied this rope to my ankle in case I get lost or pass out. Wish me luck.

My personal feelings on FF are that we should do a time jump. After such a long time off it's all gone cold for me. A new arc with the same characters is what I would like to see.
Its funny, I was literally thinking about The Argent Blade yesterday and wondering if I could get away with writing a story about him. Turns out the answer is yes!

"Oh, Aye," Skovl said to a fat bundle of rope, "'Tis like to come down in buckets tomorra."
The dwarf shoved a frying pan out of the way and re-situated himself amongst the bedrolls. He might have to go on this journey to satisfy some chunk of rock but he'd be blasted if he was going to walk the whole way.
Up front, the ones called Pavel and Oskarr kept the oxen company as they spoke of military matters. A fair bit of it went over Skovl's head, but that was no reason to be unfriendly.
He stroked his beard (which, incidentally, lacked the common decency to remain plaited and instead spent most days looking like a fiery explosion) and spoke toward the front of the wagon. "'fenses, eh? Don't know much about them. Was a time I 'er happier wid a pickaxe than a war axe. Always, was that time. Aye, I sometimes dream about mining, about diggin out a great hunk'a ruby and polishing it to glorious multifaceted perfection... "

I can totally see why you wouldn't want an unpredictable crazy person on the team, but rest assured Skovl will be a team player. Ktulpa has willed it.

When I was building, I literally rolled dice to determine my race and class, then worked out the character. I was thinking I would spend the first several sessions talking to something that isn't there, maybe using my unseen servant spell once or twice. Then when I leveled up I would have taken Chain and revealed my familiar was the thing I had been talking to the whole time. After that, I could make the familiar turn invisible and gain advantage in combat pretty much at will.
But you make a very interesting case for Blade Pact.
PS: DM, let's axe Unseen Servant from my sheet and put Hex on there instead.

Red five, standing by.
Going back to warlocks, I'm thinking maybe go Pact of the Chain. Any suggestions or good arguments why i shouldn't?

Yeah, Warlock casting is incredibly rigid, however the spells warlocks cast are all cast at their highest spell level, and they get "Invocations," essentially free and unique metamagic feats. There are a few other fringe benefits to being a Warlock - IE choice of pact allows the player to run a Familiar, to have a weapon that appears in hand on command, or to be a more powerful caster with access to other classes' cantrips.

Well, Ale being beer and Bane meaning something like "killer of."
So, translated, Skovl Alebane means "Shovel, Killer of Beer," which I believe in my heart of hearts is an incredibly Dwarfy name.

Well first, I'm not pushing you all in any particular direction. There's the stuff to the north that was mentioned, there's a return trip home, and there's a hook I set during your explorations. Beyond that, I'm also open to suggestions and ideas. For instance, if you wanted to hunt down and kill or interrogate one of the Feral, that would be on the menu. So would trying to unite the local Feral with the city of Pike.
Do you feel as if I should implement a few more hooks? I can definitely add some on my next post.

Finally
Intro
Jacob approached her, the elf who looked back at him with piercing blue eyes. She had seemed afraid of the wolf Silinrul, but now she seemed resigned to sadness. Perhaps it was the week spent without water. Her voice hollow, she greeted him.
Hello
Jacob replied, Greetings. I don't mean to impose, but I wanted to try and reassure you. The wolf is of no threat, so long as you mean the ranger no harm.
The elf seemed puzzled for a moment, but attempted a smile.
Harm? No. [heh] Even if I did..." she shook her head side to side, "I wouldn't stand a chance. None of us would, maybe not even together."
Her eyes shone with sadness.
Sorry. Damian brought you - I should be happier. I'm Lia. What's your name?"
Jacob, he replied with a subtle glance around the room. I've not been out this way in awhile, and Damian was a little short on details. What happened here?
"The feral happened here." she said. For the first time emotion cracked her hollow voice. "Not like usual. We've all seen raids but... this was something different. They came as... as destroyers. We weren't ready - the fires."
Her eyes were open wide as she looked into her past. Jacob could almost see the flames in her eyes, the city ablaze.
"They took half the town before we knew they were here. They... Oh, Dom."
She nearly choked out the last of the words. Jacob shifted uncomfortably in his boots but lay a hand on her should in reassurance.
"I know it means next to nothing, but I'm sorry for what you've had to endure."
Lia looked up from the floor, her eyes wet. She bit down on her lip so hard it almost drew blood and brought her gaze directly to Jacob's.
Make them pay.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The Wait
Damian was nowhere to be found. He had thanked Clary and Jacob immensely, but seemed rather put out with himself nonetheless. After this, he had disappeared without bothering to explain where he was going.
As the day burned on, the travelers who chose to remain in the Hall spent much of their time in quiet conversation with one another, only rarely venturing a few words with the people of Pike. The general attitude toward them was mixed, but leaned toward grateful. Many of the townsfolk had hoped for an immediate fix, and new arrivals without any water had damped their spirits considerably.
Several hours passed without much activity. After only a week, everyone had learned how to stay alive during a drought. Stay cool, stay still, and keep your mouth shut. From an outsider's perpective it was incredibly boring. Suddenly, there was a commotion from the back of the hall.
Father Tolly and Brother Garret had emerged, and in front of them they rolled a good-sized cask. Together they hoisted it onto the great table. In moments they were swamped. The Hall, so used to silence, suddenly rang out with hundreds of voices all crying "Water!" It was only perhaps thirty gallons, but the mere presence of it seemed enough for many to regain their strength. Some pushed, some fought, but by and large everyone got a few handfuls of the precious stuff.
Garret and Tolly exchanged knowing looks as the throng grew and then disappated. Laughter echoed in the Hall, but neither cleric could raise a smile. This meager offering was the result of expending an entire day's prayer in the short time they had been here. Their work represented survival, nothing more.
Shortly before Rainfall, Daxos and Xana returned from their exploration. Dax spoke to Clary and Jacob. ""How have things gone here? The ferals aren't here. Do you know anything of what is being decided?""
Neither seemed to know what had happened to their wild companions, but they did manage to convey their time in the Hall to the prodigal adventurers. When asked what he had seen, Daxos replied,
""The town is empty. The buildings in disrepair. That much you saw for yourself on the way in. But it is the same all over - we headed down towards the river bed. It might be worth knowing that while the wall looks solid and clean all around the town, it isn't a great barrier anymore. There are gaps under it in many places where the rains have washed away the soil. Do not assume that attack could not come from any direction. The wall is not a solid barrier. But also, should an attack come - if you head to the wall you will likely find a way out. The wall will not trap you in. I hope it does not come to that, but I can see how feral raids could happen."
The rain started. A conversation about the ins and outs of protecting a city while under threat of invasion seemed about to begin, when another commotion stirred the back of the room. An elf walked to the podium. He seemed both young and old, as elves often do. Chestnut hair fell about his shoulders. His robes seemed fresh pressed, a great feat in times such as these.
A familiar voice spoke beside the group. It was Tommen, still wearing his ill-fitted guard uniform. "That's Eoghain. He's Pike's new Oldest. Nobody exactly put him in charge after the attack, but...
Eoghain spoke. With one hand on the podium his voice boomed as though he had accessed a spell of Resounding.
"Attention please." This he hardly needed to say. All eyes were already on him "I believe I speak for us all when I say that Damian Dawnshine deserves a Hero's Welcome! His bold journey to Lake City has saved our city. Damian, please make yourself known. Hip hip huzzah! Hip hip huzzah! Hip hip huzzah!"
The crowd joined Eoghain in this moment of merriment, each of them hip-hip-huzzah'ing with the rest.
We are forever indebted to you, Damian, and to your companions, the elf continued, "But now we must move on to more serious business. This company brought with them two of the raiding party that attacked Pike. We've got them in a cage and under guard, so do not be afraid. I have spoken with them myself, and they confess to - as they put it - 'breaking' our city. Their case seems clear to me, but we do still govern by popular vote. How shall we kill them? Hanging or burning?"
The crowd erupted.

Okay... well I kind of halfway rolled dice on the character options you gave us.
I will be playing a Dwarf Warlock, using the Great Old One pact. A quick glance at wikipedia gives me a few ideas for my patron - I will be utilizing the Outer God C'thalpa (maybe styled Ktalpa, for Dwarfy reasons) if that is OK with the DM.
What I know:
1. Character will be a bit mad.
2. Alignment will be chaotic good.
What I don't know:
1. Starting level
2. Anything else
