Re: Introducing Hirelings
If you've got pre-gen Hirelings lurking about the Town, you could give the appearance that they're going on off-screen adventures with other parties in other dungeons if the PCs aren't hiring them (and/or show some of them starving and/or just camping out at the tavern with a tab like Norm and deriving most of their nutrition from ale depending on their competence and tone of the campaign)... one session Random Torchbearer #4 is a fresh-faced, eager kid... a few weeks later, he's got an awesome scar and a thousand-yard stare.
