Fourth Session (13 page pdf) – “Eleder” – The Chainbreaker reaches Eleder, the capital of the colonial country of Sargava, on the jungle coast of the Mwangi Expanse. They find employment by some parents of local rich kids who have gone missing on a pleasure voyage, to be accompanied by the only one who returned, Jacinth Deepwarder. A milk run, certainly.
Eleder is a classic colonial outpost, with whitey ruling it up, in their minds benevolently, over the black natives. The primary source for it is the old Pathfinder Companion: Sargava, The Lost Colony, augmented by the Mwangi Expanse information in Pathfinder Chronicles: Heart of the Jungle. Now, for Pathfinder 2e there’s a more comprehensive Mwangi Expanse book, but there’s been significant world changes (including a native revolt in Eleder); this is based off the 1e Golarion info.
The players sell what loot they can that isn’t obviously stolen (they got rid of most questionable goods at Rickety’s Squibs and Bloodcove, mostly they have weird alien doodads from The Black Spot) and then immediately go find the Aspis Consortium to join up with them. The A.C. is evil in an “East India Company” kind of way and is happy to sic the PCs on ships belonging to their competitors.
Then they go shopping. These are the kinds of things this group buys.
Purchased from Black Arm, the Besmaran priest:
- A Sargavan letter of marque to prey on anyone, mostly Chelish and Andorans. (100% legal, 2000 gp)
- Protection from the Eye of Abendego mount this (an angry red eye painted on a plate of copper) on your mast. The goddess will look kindly upon you and turn the wrath of the eye away. 1900gp.
- A blindfold looking item that was created by a Besmaran pirate witch. If you get the woman to wear this not even magical divination will reveal the truth about whether you slept with her. It only works once. 1700gp. Natural 20 by the GM, so it will probably work, maybe even against voodoo loa Mama Watanna.
- An Indulgence For Killing Disloyal Crewmen – these items are in the form of hand-crafted shanks, which are to be left next to the body. 100gp per crewmen. Sindawe buys five.
Here we start the second adventure from the Heart of the Razor supplement for the Razor Coast, “Sinful Whisper.” The PCs are approached indirectly by a local viscount whose daughter just returned from an ill-fated cruise of some local noble kids and the rest of them need rescuing from “some kind of natives.” They meet Jacinth Deepwarder, a stuck up blonde half elf noblewoman. Her story only partially tracks, but there’s money on the line, so time to hit the sea!
