Hello all!! We're about to start book 2 in the AP and I'd like to share an idea I have and hopefully get some feed back from you guys about it.
In the game we're playing Jask was initially met with a lot of suspicion. There were a lot of arguments about whether to let him free or not. Especially from the parties fighter who took the 'get the cargo through' trait. The cargo was Jask and she was a bounty hunter out for the price on his head.
As they went further into the jungle they found the papers that proved Jask's innocence. The bounty hunter apologized and Jask quickly became an incredible ally considering the party didn't have a healer.
He proved invaluable to the party when they assaulted the cannibal camp; since he was the only thing that kept them going. However, he died towards the end of that fight. He ran in to distract the cannibals from killing the bounty hunter who brought him to the island in the first place.
It was a heart breaking moment. They held a burial at sea for him. Gelik gave the eulogy saying how he "finally got off the island." and "lived as a criminal but died as a free man."
Life on the island has continued as normal they continue to scout out the area and they are about to explore the caves under the camp.
Anyhoo. When they finally get to the mainland I'm going to have the representative from the Sargavan Government be Jask's son. The idea here is that even though the PCs have the papers to prove Jask's innocence his son going to hate them. Blaming them for his father's death and I'm going to have him state how he had finally found evidence to prove his fathers innocence. But since his father had been arrested already he was going to wait for his arrival in Elder to give him the good news. This is going to make the Sargavan Government be their rival faction in book 2.
What do you guys think??
That sounds awesome.
His name should definitely not be Jask II, though.

I aim on changing it! lol
Not sure what it should be though.
There are a lot of names in the various world guides, and barring that, there are name generators upon this internet. I'm partial to Sefu.
The situation also seems to call for this guy to have a change of heart at one point, but only after being an antagonist to the PCs for a while. I like it. It adds complexity to book #2 and especially #3, and #3 is the weakest book and needs it.

I like Sefu!
I keep hearing that about book 3 so I'm glad this will shake things up a bit. I plan on doing big things with the NPCs in the books. We actually had a PC death today at the hands of Mother Thrunefang and most were more upset by Jask's death than the Pc's!! lol
That's great story development!
What do you think of making Umagro Jask's son?
Backstory could be, when Jask was forced to flee, Umagrao was left behind and made a slave as the son of a criminal. He later became a Freemen rebel leader, driven on by the injustice visited on his father and himself as the hands of the colonials. That gives Umagro his own motivation to kidnap one of the allied NPCs and decry the PCs (perceived) evil, and can give that whole encounter at the waling company a extra dimension.

I like that too but I'm not sure just yet. I really want this guy to be an enemy that will follow them through the rest of the campaign and work with the Sargavin Government.
But I do like that idea a lot too!!
