[quote=@rush99999] With Chwegwn, I'm thinking he met all the others when he was looking for a crew. He then sussed out their motivations and offered them a deal: He'd help them achieve their motivations if they joined his crew. And that's why he's working with them. [/quote] I left Cold Hands in pirate jail for beating up/probably killing some slavers in the Redsand district, so that's probably an easy meeting. Recruiting capable, if dangerous prisoners is a staple of any good RPG after all. Cold Hands has some pretty esoteric motivations (e.g., enlightenment through facing and overcoming greater and greater hardships), so I imagine that given the likely risk of any pirate endeavors demanded by the council of highly esteemed and dishonorable pirates, as well as her being behind bars, she would be an easy sell in terms of a crew member (GM might have thoughts, but I would imagine the guards would be happy to see her go). Thus ends my rambling, lol.
