Herab was the Captain of a smuggling vessel called Barracuda, a member of the Zhentarim and a member of Daggerford's Shoreside Shipping Consortium circa 1372 DR.[1]
Description[]
Captain Herab was a stern and striking woman with red hair. She carried herself with confidence of a competent opponent.[1]
Possessions[]
The woman wielded a unique enchanted short sword and a +2 magic dagger in battle, and protected herself with a set of unique leather armor. Herab had two potions ready – a potion of death armor and a potion of cure critical wounds.[1]
Captain Herab had a massive and expensive oak desk on board his ship, often cluttered with empty bottles, ledgers, and stained notebooks. The ship's main ledger was a small black book bound in oiled leather, in which were kept all the details on the ship's illicit activities.[1]
Also, in captain's quarters, Herab kept a handful of acid arrows and a set of enchanted leather armor called Fencer's Grace.[1]
History[]
Circa the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR, Herab and her crew became involved in Zhentarim's plot to take over the city of Daggerford. The Barracuda traveled alongside the Sword Coast from the city to a hidden cove on the Crab's Claw Coast. Her ship carried smuggled arms and armor for a swelling orc and tanarukk horde, all part of the nefarious Zhent ploy. The horde paid him hefty amounts of gold and able-bodied slaves. Luckily, the Hero of Daggerford investigated suspicious activities of the Mariners' Alliance and discovered the suspicious shipping activities of Herab's. The Hero followed up on the clues and discovered an orc hideout in the Wild Pastures south Daggerford. From there, the adventurers followed the clues to a hidden pirate cove filled with smuggled goods, and recently captured slaves, including Jerick, a shepherd with whom the Hero of Daggerford had dealings recently. Captain Herab faced the Hero of Daggerford in battle, aided by a massive tanarukk leader and a loyal beast of Xvim. Despite her battle prowess, Herab was no match for the Hero, and the pirate Zhen was killed in battle. Her death returned to the Hero, their kidnapped friend, Talarenne, and eventually led to the city's being safe from the Black Network takeover.[1]
