Combat Encounters: Pialoosa pursues a ship the PCs are on, demanding they surrender their treasure or be tossed in the briny deep. If encountered on land, she might start a massive brawl in a tavern, possibly after playing a game of cards and losing a good share of the booty she acquired most recently. Roleplaying Suggestions: Pialoosa could be hired as a trustworthy (if black-hearted) ship captain to guide the PCs through dangerous waters. She relies on her reputation to keep other pirates away, and flies a special red flag with a black image of a foot on it to indicate she’s aboard a ship. Anyone who attacks her ship risks death beneath her blade, even if it’s an old friend.
