First time running a 5e campaign, help me develop this and give me general pointers
So after reading the above reply on the "good aligned bad guys thread" I have been thinking about a game with this premise at the heart of it.
I shared the above paragraph with a couple of friends who agreed it sounds like a fun concept and would like to play. I developed the concept a little with one of the players and he is now kinda important to my plan which I will explain below.
So after many years of running this treasure boutique our gold dragon has acquired much, one such item is a "statue" of some forgotten guardian (one of the Players warforged of the forge) which seeming of little value is cast aside in a treasure pile for a hundred years. For some reason or another he is going to be rediscovered and finally brought back online, he is actually a few thousand years old and has been dormant for most of it. His name is "Smith" and he wishes to return "Home" which is an ancient dwarven mine a long distance away which was raided by one of the gold dragons adventuring parties a few hundred years ago, they found a vault they were unable to open so instead brought the only thing the thought looked valuable to them, the "statue".
The key to the vault is actually the Warforged though due to his decaying for so long he doesn't remember this, just his strong urge to go "Home".
I was going to start it at lvl 5 and have the rest of the party be at the boutique to trade an uncommon item they have found (I'm giving them 2 each in their starting gear as I want this to be quite a high power adventure). So now I need a hook to bring them together to go on this quest with the warforged to find his home (and hopefully open the vault for the gold dragon).
This will, as I said in the title be my first game of 5e I run, any general advice for that over 3.5 would be appreciated and helpful.
I'll add more when I think about it, all help is appreciated
Also, much praise to "Stan" for inspiring me to finally run a game of 5e

Boxxy T. Morningwood or Momonga-sama are typical of that class.
Trust but verify. There's usually a reason why I believe you can't do something.
