Gum Gum's Pirates
The Moonshae Pirates. Loyal to gold and to Gum Gum — roughly in that order.
A pirate fleet operating out of the Moonshae Isles, led by the self-styled Goblin Queen Gum Gum. They are a disorganised but effective force — loyal to their captain and to the money she brings in, with enough ships and blades to make them a genuine power on the western seas.
Gum Gum herself is charismatic, opportunistic, and surprisingly savvy. She does not take insults lightly, but she understands the value of a useful alliance.
Campaign Connection
The Othorion Contract
The party's most significant interaction with Gum Gum's pirates stems from a contract signed — or referenced — under the name "Othorion Baenre." This put that name in front of Luskan's power structure and contributed to House Baenre's awareness of Othorion's activities on the surface.
Gum Gum herself has been referenced as one of the parties who facilitated Othorion's safe passage toward the Underdark — alongside Jarlaxle Baenre, she helped keep him alive and moving long enough to reach Sloobludop and fulfil the Grazzt pact.
