[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 8168870, member: 54629"] Thanks. I will make sure to give the dragon some agency. My original thought was that she has been spending lots of time exploring her surroundings, because that seems like something a young dragon would do. However, bronze dragons have a strong sense of right and wrong. I can see her investigating Jarlaxle's ships if she gets the sense that something is wrong, rather than mere curiosity ... especially if I make it so one of the urchins has been captured and she's seeking to rescue him. Yes, the players encountered Aremag the dragon turtle upon arrival in Chult, so Dabshabah knows about him too. I'm not sure she'd swim all the way out there (it's a good 80-90 miles from Port Nyanzaru to the mouth of the bay). I'll make a note of the [I]Marpenoth[/I]'s slow speed. I'm thinking it would make for a good "mobile base" upgrade as per the Acq Inc franchise rules. (Making a big two-storey manor mobile doesn't seem all that feasible in a jungle setting.) That said, my players may end up being too timid to try and steal the submarine. We shall have to wait and see. I don't have any specific ideas for the enemy prince at this time. I was thinking more in terms of when we do franchise downtime activities and the "may involve a rival" result comes up. Acq Inc games are all about wheeling and dealing, so their franchise needs some rivals. Merchant princes, the Zhentarim, the Flaming Fist, and maybe even the Ytepka Society could make for good rivals in Port Nyanzaru. I agree that option #2 is more straight-forward and less coincidental. If I go that route, I'll need to figure out some specifics for Jarlaxle's deal. [/QUOTE]
