Hubatt Corsairs

The Hubatt Corsairs are a collective of ruffians and thieves operating in Jrusar and the surrounding area.

Description
The Corsairs are a tough up-and-coming group focusing on robbing from the rich Mahaan houses and guild leaders of Jrusar, stealing from the rich and redistributing to the poor.

History
The Campaign Three adventuring party first heard of the Corsairs when they learned Dugger might be involved with them. When they reported this to Lord Eshteross, he told them he was interested in the Corsairs because they seem to be working against the same corruption he was, and that they gift their takings to the less fortunate of Jrusar and the Oderan Wilds. In contrast to the Ivory Syndicate, their violence seems to be directed away from the less fortunate, and much of the unavoidable violence that does occur takes place when the two factions clash. Lord Eshteross warned the party, however, to be careful if they encountered any member of the Corsairs. He asked them to speak well of him if possible, and suggested starting their investigations in the Fownsee Hollow within the Core Spire, or in Elder's Post in the Lantern Spire.

Ephred, the Shadow Baker in Elder's Post, told the party to seek the group by approaching the dark-feathered eisfuura Heron in the Root Trader Alcove and telling him, "You come for the laughter." When they did so, they were escorted up a spiral staircase into a darkened chamber holding about thirty threatening figures who surrounded them.

Yash Mangal asked their business, warning them to choose their words carefully. He was suspicious that they might be working for the Chandei Quorum, but when he learned they were investigating Bertrand Bell's death at Dugger's hands, asked for collateral: the names and locations of people important to them. When the party was unable to come up with three names, he accepted fewer and was forthcoming with what information they had about Dugger, telling them that if they learned any information that would be useful to the Corsairs, to return saying they've "come to loosen the snare."
