I just recently started a GMing a game where the PCs were magicaly teleported from a custom campaign setting into the pathfinder world. They were magically teleported into the middle of the Mwangi jungle and will be riding down the Vanji river into Bloodcove with a goal to reach Absalom.
My question is...
What is the best route for a ship to take from Bloodcove to Absalom? Is the risk of going threw the shackles and around the Eye of Abendego safer and faster then going all the way around south Garund and up threw the Obari Ocean?
