[QUOTE="vagabundo, post: 4462580, member: 55864"] In my opinion I doubt he would get involved unless the PC's involve him, then his evil psycho side rears it's ugly head. What does "dressing like a pirate" mean in this context anyway? We'll I know what it means - striped trous, earring, loose shirt open to the navel, ... but I'm not sure if the nephew would mention it. I think you need to have a reason for the PCs to interact with the pirate captain or he is unlikely to start anything as there are lots of bandits and pirates and oddballs wandering this island: - The Dwarf thinks his nephew has gone "funny" in the head. Either through charm magic or just a mental illness. PCs will probably try to subdue him and then the pirates will see it as an attack on their own kind. - PC's through their exploration of the island find a great Meta-plot and start interfering. I'm not sure I'd be happy with the motivations of the Nephew, I could see him trying to make amends by joining the pirate crew to track down his companions - he is bluffing the captain - and his uncle might blow the whole gig. That would certain spark a conflict and I'd have the pirate captain escape and cause continuous trouble for the PC's as they now help the Nephew track down and free his friends - who now fight in the slave pits detailed in the post above. Anyway, that's my rambling feedback. [/QUOTE]
