Frist and foremost, I am sorry for your loss. Words are never enough and never adequate but they are sincere.

We have a very..... antagonistic group so I think that we need to take it slow in the beginning and establish the reason we are adventuring together. Expecially with the anger management issues and elves and the loner (my char) who wouldnt normally be in a group.

My only advice is realize as DM (though you should very rarely do this) you can override a PC's actions especially at the start when you are setting the senerio up. You should never do it in a manner inconisient with the char, but sometimes when you are setting the senerio the players try to get ahead and force issues that would actually normally just happen. Just let them know as soon as you do it so they are not in limbo about thier char.

Just a thought.
