Roger Payton

A pirate captain wanted dead by the Reclamation for piracy, looting, and raiding. His crew camped on Ankley Island, a mile off the coast of Ankley — named hands included Rowena Stormbreaker, Sam Rackham, and the hired "deck wizard" Devlin, alongside unnamed archers, rifle-toting rowboat-men, and "shouty boys." Payton wielded a magical Giant Cutlass (a "high roll" multiattack) and rum-fueled fire breath, and kept the orc Tegrak as a captive.

Session 9

• Introduced only as a name on Ankley's bounty board: "Wanted dead: Roger Payton and his men" — inquiries directed to the beach tavern, the Sand Gets In.

Session 10

• Killed on Ankley Island: Thalia dragged him into his own bear trap with Thorn Whip (52 damage) and dealt the finishing blow.
