WOW! I was surprised by the image of Caulky in Tempest Rising. (Based on his comment even Rob McCreary was suprised!)
Before that image I did draw some inspiration from the image from the Pathfinder Paper Minis (now used for a generic cabin girl). What a transformation of Caulky!
Spoiler:
Inspired by the image I played Caulky as a frightened, insecure girl that is about 12 years old, that did not really want to be on the ship and esp. didn't like to be close the Harrigan. The cooks mate even sympathized with her after she was so afraid to try the food he was cooking for the captain, 'cause she feared to be poisoned.
Now in Tempest Rising Caulky looks like a mostly handsome young woman with an eye patch. Also she now tries to poison people in a tavern, probably to "recruit" them for Harrigan and tries to avoid the PCs.

Based on how Caulky interacted with my PCs by now, Caulkys actions in Tempest Rising wouldn't make sense.
Do you have a similar problem? How do you plan to solve it?
I guess the new Caulky and the old will be two different characters in my campaign.

p.s. This Problem shows why it would have been better to have more then a single line about NPCs that will get a greater spotlight later in the adventure, like some already suggested after reading part 1. :-/
