GM Glorious's Slave Ships of Absalom (Inactive)

Game Master Hrothdane

Wertlos kicks the corpse one last time to make sure she's dead, then spits. "የማስታጠቅ ቁራጭ! Good riddance!" He then turns his attention to breaking the shackles on the prisoners.

Pearl and Pule also help free the prisoners.

We know what it's like to be in a dark place, away from the light.

Pule: Yes… we like the light. The sun. We don't want to go back.

Suna assists with freeing the prisoners, after collecting her naginata from the ground.

The ship makes it back to harbor with no trouble, and the enslaved Pathfinders express their gratitude.

You return to Lady Darchana, who is quite visibly pleased with your performance (as visibly as she gets anyways). She is deeply troubled by the implications of this whole affair, especially since the burning of the ship documents leaves the full extent of the operation still unknown. Nevertheless, she authorizes the bounty payment on Captain Wardak and the At Sea, a significant 725 gp that goes right into the Society. She addresses you all once more before dismissing you. "Pathfinders, you have done a great service to Absalom today. The full extent, understandably, may never be widely known or recognized by the sleeping masses, but know that the Pathfinder Society can count on me as a friend and ally, and I hope that I may call upon you again in the future should the need arise." Her gaze lingers particularly on Suna.

Upon returning to the Grand Lodge, Rilla--one of the formerly enslaved Pathfinders--recounts what she can to Venture-Captain Valsin and you about her time spent in the Okeno slave markets on Stonespire Island, confirming several interactions with a heavily veiled humanoid woman who forciply took blood samples on two occasions. When Rilla inquires as to the fate of the other Pathfinders she was on assignment with, Venture-Captain Valsin closes his eyes and slowly shakes his head. "No contact," is all he says on the matter.

Your primary success mission was to deliver the charred letter fragment bearing the name of Pasha Muhlia Al-Jakri to Lady Darchana. Your secondary success was to free the captured Pathfinder Rilla from the hold of the At Sea. Both prestige are yours!

Liberty's Edge members receive the Liberty Never Rests boon for killing or capturing Captain Wardak and ensuring all four slaves survive until the end of the scenario and escape the At Sea

Sovereign Court members may have courted Lady Silviana (see below), but it is actually Lady Darchana's support that matters more. Destroying the docking certificate of the At Sea fulfills this condition and earns each Sovereign Court member The Court Grows (Lady Darchana of House Madinani) boon.

Lastly, for successfully negotiating a refund in Lady Silviana's name, ALL characters received the Budding Friendship (Lady Silviana) boon

"That slaving bastard deserved her fate and much more! If this Muhlia is involved then it's time she got what is coming to her as well. No mercy, no quarter for slavers!"

Thanks, that was fun!
