They could be scurvy knaves who would slit a throat without a second’s thought, or they might be dandy swashbucklers with hearts of gold in search of fame and glory on the high seas. The PCs came to Port Peril to become pirates, to earn fortunes, to be adored by men and women, and live lives of fame-or perhaps infamy-at sea. Most importantly, they should all want to play pirates of one stripe or another. It’s important to manage your players’ expectations for this Adventure Path right from the start. The campaign traits presented in the Skull & Shackles Player’s Guide (available for free at ) provide hooks for each PC that describe the circumstances of their capture. They wake up the next morning in the hold of the pirate ship Wormwood, where the adventure begins. The adventure assumes that the PCs all were in Port Peril, the capital of the Shackles, and that they fell afoul of a pirate press gang.
