Pirates of the Emerald Coast is all about swashbuckling, naval combat, and water.. lots of water. Water is the main theme that ties everything together, and features prominently in every quest and dungeon. It also means the players fight a lot of aquatic monsters, which often see little use in other D&D campaigns.The campaign features firearms. But since these are not standard D&D weapons, we've made our very own ever expanding list of pirate weapons. Flintlocks, cannons, you name it. The players can raid other ships, and spend their riches on countless ship upgrades, or on building their very own pirate base. This campaign was previously featured on the WotC forums. If you want to catch up with that, you can read all about that <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468705-Pirates-of-the-Emerald-Coast-%283-5%29" target="_blank">here</a>.Time line[ATTACH]72287[/ATTACH]Regional map[ATTACH]72289[/ATTACH]Brief summary of the current storyThe players currently reside in the harbor city of Vertesaux, which belongs to the country of St Valenz (but it is not the capital). The previous ruler, the Marquis, has recently been assassinated, and this was a heavy loss because the Marquis was a dear friend and valuable ally to the players. His beautiful daughter has joined their crew, and now they are trying to muster a fleet of pirates to counter a threat from the east. The powerful empire of Cyr has sent forth a fleet to rid their trade routes of pirates for good. If they want to protect the region, they must bring all pirate captains together in one big alliance.The players are also gathering workers to help build their base on the dreaded Isle of Bones; an island infested with cannibals. To gather a lot of cheap labor, they are hosting their very own barbecue in the slums outside Vertesaux.Meanwhile the threat of a powerful god-like being called Hydra (a water being that has taken over the Eternal Depths, where the souls of dead sailors go) also looms over the region. The players often come in conflict with the servants of Hydra, or with the two lesser deities that have allied with Hydra: Airen (goddess of chaos) and Teehlyian'tara (lady of the flesh, and a vermin goddess).The Emerald Coast has a long history that still haunts it. Several years ago the dreaded pirate captain Black William was defeated, in a betrayal by several pirate factions. But now he is back as a ghost pirate, thanks to the efforts of the Circle of Azarah; a group of evil wizards that is also aligned with Hydra. So in short, the players have many enemies. Black William also hid a great treasure while he was still alive, and the players are in possession of the map to that treasure. But since the treasure is hidden in the Eternal Depths, acquiring the treasure will be tricky.The party:Captain William Roberts - Human bard / Great captain (See the book "Storm Wrack")Bioran - Elf Abjurant ChampionChé - Half elf cleric (of The Lady of the Waves, a local deity)Shifter - Human DruidTheir ships:"The Lady's Vengeance" (Their new main ship)"The Jennifer's Grace" (now retired and used as a transport ship)Npc crew:Diksnor - Pirate / Right hand of the captain, and completely bald.Mutabe - Kooghan pirate / Carries a horrible and mysterious scar on one of his hands.Zuberi - Kooghan pirate / Covered in self inflicted decorative scars and beads.Jantje - Ship's cook in training / also secretly a 12 year old girl.Ruldolpho - Ship's mate / 16 year old boy who protects Jantje's secret.
