Lyle,

If I ran it in Rougtero, they would not actually go to Geleia
(unless the party insisted and something went drastically wrong with
the mission).  The main gist of the idea would be that an employee
of the Barrettes through the use of Nomads has scryed the time of
the next attack on their shipping lines.  This attack (if run from
Rougtero) would be somewhere like 1 week or so off the coast of
Rougtero and adventurers would be needed to be on board and help
fend off/capture the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

Along your line of thought I had planned on offering the party
incentives to become long term contract employees of the Barrettes
and try stamp out the root of this viper's nest over near Geleia if
they wished to come, but that offer would only come if they were
successful against one pirate ship :)

-Kris
