A Straw Lieutenant leads a Grass Pirate patrol of 5 to 12 pirates across Stormgap Coast, The Eye and The Outlands.

Three times out of four, empty-handed

This is the single fact worth remembering about him.

ImportantA Straw Lieutenant has only a 25% chance of spawning with a weapon. The other 75% of the time he arrives bare-handed — and his Martial Arts sits at −1 to 7.

Which means a squad led by an unarmed captain is a target worth taking seriously even with a weak party. He has a 10% chance of carrying a bounty of 1,000 to 3,000 Cats.

TipDo not write off the whole squad, though. Ordinary Grass Pirates have Martial Arts in the 20–40 range, which is high for bandits. That also makes them good sparring for training unarmed combat — provided you disarm the ones who do have weapons first.

Who they are

The Grass Pirates are a bandit faction centred on The Eye and Stormgap Coast, with only two character types — Straw Lieutenants and Grass Pirates. They squabble over turf with anyone who enters their area, sit at −100 with the United Cities, and are hostile to the player on sight. Their identifying mark is that low-quality sleeveless dustcoat.
