The Athenia was captured and boarded by the more numerous Diswes Corsairs, a pirate band some twenty vessels strong. The Corsairs were roaming for new territory and encountered the Athenia by chance. The Diswes Admiral, Tybalt, determined it was worth it to him to lose some ships and men in order to take the Athenia (less mouths to feed for great profit). The band now numbers twelve vessels.
In the time since the battle, the Diswes have been getting what bounties are still available in the chaos and selling the rest as slaves or goods. Panacea was sold off to a penal coloy to serve as their physician. Faran, the basket of bones, and the pendant all remain on the Diswes flagship, Squalldancer. Tybalt fancies the pendant, having not see its like before. The demand for engineers is mostly limited to warring states, but the Diswes have not visited any yet. The original bounty for Faran was 100,000 gp, or equivalent notes.
The Diswes are suspisicious of approach out of port, but they regularly visit the air city of Delta Centra to trade.
The order of these requirements is not set, fulfil them in whatever order works:
at least one post, joint or solo, tracking panacea's fate to the Athenia
at least one post, joint or solo, tracking the fate of the Althenia
at least one post journey to meet with the Diswes in air or at port.
once that is all decided:
You have to decide how you want to win the pendant, Faran and the basket of bones. Steal, battle, barter? Something else? At least two posts, joint or solo, pulling this off. If it requires reactions from Faran, let me know and I will npc him.
Huzzah, now the pieces are recovered, even if panacea is not.
