In my case, I've simply given it a more reasonable price. There are other odd things in there too, like 75 gp for a Falchion, which is supposedly one of the favored weapons of Orcs. Odd, since there's several much cheaper Large weapons doing 2d4 damage. Don't even get me started on Spears...Good point. I do think technologically speaking, the longships were quite an advantage. Moreso even than larger type cannons Henry VIII started deploying on ships like the Mary Rose, or the arrival of Damascus steel, or even the first iron weapons. Probably in most situations, you are right. In this one, however, there's a very likely scapegoat, the Slavers, and surely the NPC Evil party will be aware of that and make it look like Slavers did it (especially since some of the bodies are missing) I did own that module, and ran it years ago. I am kind of curious about the Hackmaster parody of it.</blockquote>
