Barge Captain (Avalon)

Quick Info

Race: Humanoid Role: River Trader / Smuggler Affiliation: Independent Location: Docks (Avalon) Status: Alive

The Barge Captain is a river trader encountered at the docks of Avalon who was unwittingly - or perhaps knowingly - transporting stolen magical goods.

Biography & Personality

The captain is a professional mariner who operates a large river barge with a crew of at least six people. He appears to be motivated by profit, as he was identified as the individual who purchased stolen supplies from the bandit captain’s group for 60 gold pieces. While his direct level of involvement with the criminal element is unclear, he operates with enough discretion to offload sensitive cargo quickly upon reaching the city.

Campaign History

• Entry 03 (The Smuggling Lead): The party tracked his barge from the forest clearing to the Avalon quayside after learning from the bandit Dave that the merchant’s magical items had been sold to him.
• Entry 03 (The Docks): By the time the party arrived at the docks to confront him, the captain and his first mate had already disembarked. Most of the magical cargo had been offloaded, leaving only a skeleton crew and minimal goods remaining in the hold.
