In a move I did not expect the human rogue has seduced Cut Throat Grok and is writing her bad love poetry. Thinking about the ramifications and would love your thoughts.
They are on Day 15.
Well, since I very much doubt that Harrigan would send his quartermaster aboard a prize vessel, be prepared for a tearful farewell when the Man's Promise departs!
Grok seems like the sort who will pine for him eternally - until perhaps they are joyfully* reunited in the fifth chapter of the AP!
*Said joy being highly contingent upon the rogue's behavior in the meantime...

Quarter-Orcs.
Quorks?Thinking about the ramifications and would love your thoughts.Quarter-Orcs.
It's well known that Quorks hang out with the capricious sea-faring creatures known as Leptons (Leprechaun/Triton hybrids). It almost writes itself...
One of my players plays a half-orc bard with the Enhance Water spell and CHA20 - he had Grok wrapped around his finger in no time ;)

I'm playing in this AP, so I breezed past all the other answers. But our fighter has successfully seduced Grok in our game. We've gotten Rosie Cusswell's fiddle back out of the deal, and he now lives in a little slapdash doghouse thing on deck instead of down in the hold with the rest of us, but otherwise nothing game-changing so far.
Oh, and an enormous amount of terrible jokes. A fiddle, a crappy shack, and lotsa jokes.
I'd skimmed the adventure before (I was scheduled to run this one, but a new GM stepped up, so now I try to play dumb), so I know it will end in a tearful goodbye, at least for Grok. But I expect the fighter will take it in stride.
Maybe. :P
I'm doing something similar in my game, but Grok is the instigator. I'm playing her like a randy pirate, interested in something new. The half-elf PC is new enough to capture her interest so she started suggesting that perhaps he has something she'd like more than just coin.
The tiefling PC jumped on that suggestion and offered himself but I decided that his obvious demonic heritage was not a good mix with her inherent superstition so she was repulsed by the idea.
I think the key for me is to think of Grok as a typical pirate. She's not some love-besotten, doe-eyed teenager, she's a battle-hardened warrior who knows that any of her crewmembers might not survive the next battle. She just wants to get laid, not to fall in love.

We will be resuming the game next week now that all the players are back in town.
Tem, you're a sick man. I like it!
Think I might steal the doghouse on deck idea, I can hear my wife's bard singing "Love Shack" already.
Considering the player I think that a huge subplot could grow out of this especially when Grok returns in part five (are we sure about that?).
ArchAnjel, that's the way I'm playing it at the beginning. It's been turning into one of those one night stands that gets out of hand and the two are starting to have genuine feelings for each other. The PC even wrote some really bad pirate love poetry:
Her hair is as dark as the deepest of seas,
Her t$*+ are the sweetest of creams.
When she looks at me, I go weak at the knees
