Gurps adventure based on this:
Hir Ama came to High Point, Isle of the slave Lords, with her trusty company of Morgan, Cole, Jiro and Raj. Escorted by Legatus Sulla and his Praetorian Guard and accompanied by the new aquintance of Bishop Urban, a mysterious Arken offshoot who had his own agenda to free all the slaves.
After swearing an oath to let Urban lead the negotiations, they left the docks and slums and headed into the Slave City proper to meet with the slave lords in their Arena.
The slave lords awaiting them were a large warrior, an Arken priest, a mage, and 2 Moorish types.
Negotiations were to be short , as the warrior, Francis, insulted Ama, claimed he would sell her as a slave and kill her companions. A bomb exploded on Sullas ship..
The inevitable "sequence " resulted.
Cole charged forward summoning "ancestral rage" and almost cut Francis head off.
The rest of the party was caught in a Glue trap, assailed by a "mass mind trap", peppered by goblin poison gas and muskets. Jiro was shot in the back by poison darts and killed.
Ogre Magi used cones of cold that brought Ama and Morgan to the edge of death.. things looked Grim, and then,, all were back at the docks with Urban, taking the oath.
Forewarned, the group thwarted the bombing of Sullas ship. The party did not enter the city. Sull seemed determined to go to the Slave market, and suspected ensorcelment, Raj accompanied him, and convinced him his "duty" was completed and they returned to the ship.
A decision was faced to "fight or flight" and the later was chosen.
Sulla set off to Philippi. Urban to Sienfest. The Sea Ghost evaded two Caravelle that seemed to be seeking Ama.
Doubling back to the Slave hold, Morgan kept Ama scryguarded while Jiro snuck into the city to make contact with rebel sympathizers. The half Krall innkeeper gave info on the slavery, island and Amas people.
Next Cole, Raj and Jiro went to the Dragons Temple and talked to the wretched Tender. It revealed the island used to belong to a Dragon, but it is kept at bay by its child being held hostage by the Slave Lords. The Dragon baby was held somewhere in the heavily trapped sewers, vestiges of an ancient city below (including wind tunnels)
Jiro learned that one of the Slave Lords frequently used a brothel and supposed he might "spectate" on people in the sewers like some kind of Squid Game.
The trio went to the brothel, and while Cole sacrificed his virtue to the Madame as a distraction, jiro and Raj searched Tariqs room.
Although no sewer entry was found, a viewing device was recovered.
It revealed several areas of the sewer, including the dragons prison.
A long sewer pass out to Drachon Keep was found.
A suitable landing beach for the Sea Ghost was located nearby.
The work has been cut out for next time.
