SYNOPSIS:

The Maiden of Iasgairen has gone missing, kidnapped by dark forces!
The constable suspects ‘tis the work of a band of scurrilous pirates!
They’ve placed a bounty on the head of the young warrior maiden.
Can you rescue her and become “The Heroes of Iasgairen”?

In this adventure the party is called on to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the Shield Maiden of Iasgairen. The young woman, whose given name is Eimhear Iskara, is the leader of her fishing community which lies along the sea on the southern coast of The Red Eagle Barony. Living as far as they do from the capitol of their nation, these hearty sea folk are vulnerable to attack: the Shield Maiden is a symbol of bravery and self reliance to her people.

She has valiantly led her folk, thwarting pirate invasions along this coast. Because of her opposition to their plans, the pirate captains who prowl these waters placed a bounty on her head, offering a huge amount for anyone who brought her to them alive; their plan being to torture her and gain information on the Barony’s forces before killing her, and displaying her broken body to intimidate the villagers.

The merciless pirate known as "Pegleg Peggy", feared by sailors and fishermen throughout this Realm, decided to claim that bounty and has kidnapped the Maiden. A local fisherman spied one of Peggy’s goons heading back to their hideout: an old smugglers den hidden beneath a natural cave system in the wooded area near to Iasgairen. Peggy is expecting to make the exchange shortly: one day after the players arrive in town. So if there is any hope of saving the Shield Maiden, the players will have to strike quickly!
