The Six Pigs

Summary

The Six Pigs are a team of draft animals that serve as the party's primary means of transportation during their escort mission to New Smoke in Session 4 of the campaign. These pigs are arranged in a distinctive configuration, lashed to a cart three-by-three, and pull the party's load throughout their journey. The pigs were previously owned by the party, then sold back to them by Louise Guzman after the party recovered them from a previous mission. During travel, Vasso and Sucks share the responsibility of holding the pig reins.

Appearance

The Six Pigs are harnessed to a cart in a three-by-three configuration, with three pigs in the front row and three in the back. They are described as appearing content with their work, pulling the party's load during the journey. Their demeanor suggests a certain satisfaction in their labor, moving along the road as willing draft animals rather than reluctant beasts of burden.

History

Session 4

The Six Pigs play a crucial role in the party's escort mission during this session. Louise Guzman bought these pigs back from the party after the party had recovered them from their previous mission, establishing the economic relationship between the party and Louise regarding these animals.

Throughout the journey to New Smoke, the pigs pull the party's cart with Vasso and Sucks managing the reins. The pigs are notably described as "happily pulling the party's load because they believe they're masters of their own fate," suggesting either a philosophical observation about the nature of labor or perhaps a more literal magical or unusual quality to these particular animals.
