[QUOTE="Wraith Form, post: 3039027, member: 10789"] I agree--they're trying to get their gear back. The pirate captain took it with him. They can technically get off the island by using the pirate's boat, a decent sized vessel...but they'll need a crew. Four people, none of whom are sailors, can't maintain & steer & navigate a boat that normally takes about 15 men to crew. Hmm, interesting idea regarding the pirate hunters. This pirate captain is "newly formed" undead...in fact, it is the PCs who slew him in the first place, about 2 weeks ago in game terms, and he's a revenant because of a fairly powerful artifact that they took from him which caused him to rise from the dead. (A [i]shadow pearl[/i], if you know anything about the Savage Tide Adventure Path.) Once he rose, he started hunting them down. He's been pursuing them for approx. 2 weeks, and finally caught up with them a few days ago. In battle, he knocked them all unconscious and dragged them back to his ship. He now has all of their gear (and the artifact) in his possession. The [i]shadow pearl[/i] is, in every sense, a McGuffin--there can be any powers associated with it I want. The party has no clear definition of what it is--yet. Neither do I, as a matter of fact--the Savage Tide AP hasn't been published yet! ;) [/QUOTE]
