Friends in Dry Places
The world of Kteiroa is the largest ihatei camp in the subsector¸ located just two parsecs form Drinax. Since eradicating this potential threat is not a viable option¸ the only course of action is to foster friendly relations. The usual trade-and-gifts approach is out of the question; ihatei respect strength and daring far more than wealth and largesse. The Travellers must impress their potential allies with deeds¸ which leads to particularly daring piracy.
Friends in Dry Places expands one of the Patron encounters in the Pirates of Drinax campaign into a full adventure¸ though it can be used in any Traveller campaign.
