Journal

Objectives

  • Cruel Cargo
    • Ruāsare, the Wahaki chieftain, seeks vengeance on the slavers of Crookspur. Many of her tribesman have been taken into bondage. She wants the leadership of Crookspur killed.
  • Travel to Crookspur Island
    • The center of the slaver operations is a small fortress on Crookspur near the tip of the island. The slaver fortress is known to be well defended.
    • Apāro, the chieftain's lover, lost his sister to the Crookspur slavers.
    • Apāro tells me that his sister, Bauha is a formidable fighter, and hates being called a coward. Perhaps I can use that to my advantage.
  • Confront the leader of the slavers
    • Ruāsare asserted that the slavers are trafficking in men and women illegally taken from the Deadfire. Infiltrating the fortress will help prove or disprove that claim.
    • I've been given an audience with Master Kua, who runs the operation on Crookspur.
    • Master Kua has given me access to the lower levels of Crookspur.
    • Crookspur has been put on high alert and the fortress is on lockdown. A drawbridge also bars the main exit.
    • The merchant Seafol also believes that slavers are peddling Deadfire locals.
    • Master Kua promised to reward me in kind if I were to kill the Wahaki chieftain.
    • I convinced some of the enslaved Wahaki to escape the prison through an underground passageway.
    • The Wahaki have made good on their word and incited a revolt on Crookspur. The path to the master should be clear now.
    • I found some Wahaki slaves imprisoned in the Crookspur dungeons. They might prove useful if I find a way to free them.
  • Return to Ori o Koīki
    • I freed a number of illegal slaves from Crookspur and exposed the master's operation. In so doing, I was able to convince him to stand down and flee the island before word spreads of his activities. Ruāsare will want to learn about this.
    • (Alternate Description) With Master Kua's death, the illegal trafficking of slaves will end. Ruāsare will wish to hear of this.
  • Kill the Wahaki leaders
    • It appears that the master was onto my ploy. Now that I'm locked in his dungeon, I'll need to find a way out.
    • I encountered Aeldys' contact. She believes that Crookspur is peddling illegal slaves.
    • A group of Wahaki slaves agreed to cause a distraction if I find the weapons that were taken during their capture. The slaves are in the dungeons of Crookspur.
    • I've secured the weapons taken from the Wahaki warriors. They will want these returned in order to begin their assault on the slavers.
    • Instead of having Bauha start a revolt, I convinced her to escape back to Ori o Koīki.

 

End States

  • The Wahaki Leaders were grateful for my help in riding their seas of the Slavers. For now, I have the trust of their tribe.
  • I decided to kill the Wahaki Leaders instead of assisting them.
  • I have displeased the Wahaki and there will be no compromise between us.
