Cut-Throat Grok post "AP #55: The Wormwood Mutiny"

[Tarrintino]

So, quick question:

Does Cut-Throat Grok make any additional appearances in "Skull & Shackles" post "The Wormwood Mutiny"?

I ask because one of the PCs in my party of players developed a romantic relationship with her. Just wondering if the characters will ever run into each other again in the future. Been thumbing through the other APs tonight, but I don't see her being reintroduced (although I see other Wormwood crew members coming back in the future).

Spoiler-

groks future:

In the fifth book the pcs will come across a torture chamber and she will be a victim with her limbs cut off and missing facial pieces(nose). D6 in Harigans fortress.

[Paladin of Baha-who?]

Spoiler:

Not as written. However, you could give the PCs an opportunity to rescue her or something like that, perhaps she could give them valuable information on what Harrigan is planning.

[captain yesterday]

she isn't integral to the story so whatever you want to do with her wouldn't break the AP, as written things don't end well:(

[Gnomezrule]

One of my PCs did the same. I am planning on giving them the opportunity to rescue her and save her from that fate. I will have to come up with something. I already know she will see the PCs before the Riptide Alehouse fight. She is going to be pregnant. I am toying with suggesting through NPCs they run a rescue mission when they are sure the rest of the Wormwood crew would be occupied and have their hands full like during the race.

Funny one of my PCs had a romantic encounter with Grok (in fact twice in two different groups) and I've read about it happening in other groups too. I wonder what it is that makes her so... Attractive..

[Purple Dragon Knight]

she's easy on the eyes? :P

let me rephrase that:

she's easy on the eyes? :P

[captain yesterday]

other then Sandara and Rosie, there isn't a lot of feminine action on the WormWood, beggars can't be choosers;)

[KidDangerous]

Both good points

[Purple Dragon Knight]

Also look at her stats above: a 5th level fighter would tend to get what she wants on this ship. :)

[Gnomezrule]

Arrietta Banison former prostitute.
Tilly
Slippery Syl Lonegan- in 2 separate PBP's I have had GMs assume Syl is a guy. She became a villain on par with Plugg for the group I am running.
Barefoot Sams Toppin

There might be more crew that is just off the top of my head. There are also other female officers. Depending on how they are played and the tastes of your players there are several relationship options.

[Mavrickindigo]

I know my group the gunslinger slept with her to get his gun back.

[Uri Meca]

Shivikah
Giffer Tibbs
Officers: Peppery Longarthing and Riaris Krine.

However, Grok is the one that as written is most setup to interact with PCs: she is the quartermaster over all their gear and she is also Kroop's drinking partner, which gives the cook's assistant an in.

Edit: Oh! And of course the beleaguered "Caulky" Tarroon.
