(NPC) Carla Denham

Carla Denham (475 AQ - ) is a Farran pirate and survivor.
Denham was born on a pirate ship. Raised into a pirating family and working for her father, Englehorn Denham, on his successful ship The Venture.
Denham's life changed in 496 AQ when The Venture was hired by Anthony Darrow and chartered to go to Atuk Island. When near the island Denham's father refused to sail into land and demanded money up front to wait for the group, fearing they would die on the island and he would be left without payment for the journey. Darrow and Denham's father had a loud argument that did not settle the matter.
That night Denham was grabbed from her hammock and forced into a rowboat by a large brutish member of Darrow's crew. They rowed away from The Venture and into land on Atuk Island. Denham was left on the beach under the guard of the brutish man and a slight, bookish member of Darrow's crew. Darrow himself took a halfling and a ranger inland into the dense jungle.
This left the bookish man, McCarthy, Denham and the brute on the beach. After spending the night there and Darrow not returning the brute ventured into the forest and also vanished. The next night The Venture came into a bay on the island to retrieve Denham. Denham watched in horror as the ship was melted and sank into acidic algae, the crew being consumed along with the boat. Denham gave a funeral service for her father and her fallen comrades, commending their bodies to the sea.
Making common cause, Denham and McCarthy began to skirt the island looking for any long abandoned ships or magical communication devices. They searched the island, scavenging food and running from plant monsters that stalked the forests. Unable to find any way off the island and resigned to the fact that the rest of their expedition had perished Denham and McCarthy found a safe corner of the island where the monsters did not roam. They built a shelter there and slowly gave up hope of a rescue.
McCathy and Denham lived together on Atuk Island for eight years until 506 AQ when the Dragon Chasers arrived on the island. The Dragon Chasers were on the island for another reason, but were aware of years old bounties for the safe return of McCarthy, Denham, and the others in the expedition. The Dragon Chasers informed the pair that Anthony Darrow and Jasin Natael of their expedition had both got off the island in 496 AQ, but had not returned for their allies.
The Dragon Chasers were also marooned on the Atuk Islands as their ship also was destroyed by the acidic algae. Together with McCarthy and Denham they constructed a vessel while living for 6 months on the Eastern Wing Island and sailed back to Farrah.
Denham and McCarthy decided to continue to live together in Farrah. Having spent so long in danger, the pair wanted to have a quiet and peaceful life.
They now live together in the calm village near Mitraz called The Rok.
