It is a boss battle on the beaches. A blast from Casius’s past is back to haunt him, but does he have what it take to assuage the hate of the legendary pirate Isabella ‘Inkskin’ Locke? Find out on this weeks episode of Dead Men Roll No Crits!!
GM Notes
+++Pathfinder 2nd Edition Conversion Notes (SPOILERS BELOW):
So this is the start of many antagonistic NPCs having to be made whole cloth with the NPC creation rules. But for as iconic a villain as Isabella Locke I wanted to make the challenge legendary, so I built her like an equivalent level 6 Sorceress. I tried to keep her spell list as close to the original character in the PF1E rules set, but upgraded her lineage to be that of a Water Elemental, something to tie her even more so to the magical seas.
Isabella is a named PC in Casius’s backstory, so I needed this fight to be personal and interesting. As you will find out she wasn’t killed this combat, but taken alive, so the time spent building her as a PC was not wasted!
