basalt-dnd: graffyn-guy: basalt-dnd: Artwork by Robin Olausson (also known as eWKn). He’s an absolutely amazing landscape artist- check out his work, if you have the time. This is a second draft, based on the helpful feedback I received. I’m still open for further feedback, because I’m sure it’s still in need of some work. ‘The Cursed Galleon is a fabled ghost ship. Every summer night, the children of seaside villages tell the galleon’s stories over campfires, laughing at the few who tremble in fear. Still, the brave fishermen and women of the towns know better than to call them false. Those who insist it a fairy-tale do so from terror. Many have seen the ship in the stormy gloom, though it’s always too far off to be sure. Some claim to have actually seen the exposed bones and ghoulish claws of its crew, and the great watery walls it conjures from nothing. No one dares confront it. Somehow, the ship itself has a mind, and a dark one. It is locked in the past, in the days when it would be used to pillage the coastal world. Then, it had no mind. Now, the corrupt magic of those who have perished onboard gives it sentience. It is now trapped in brutal habit, in tearing apart any ship it comes across. Every time, it has no way to pocket the fruits of its labors. Still, it tries. In the vast sea, it is a tyrant matched only by the kraken. Fortunately for all sailors, the Cursed Galleon is an elusive sight. Only every few years is it sighted at all, with many suspecting it can completely submerge itself on the sea floor. Regardless of how common a disturbance the Galleon proves, any sharp captain knows to keep a watchful eye out for its ominous sails.’ The lore mentions “great watery walls it conjures from nothing” but there’s no ability like this in the statblock. Is it meant to be flavour, or was there supposed to be an ability to reflect that? It’s just supposed to be a sailing rumor blown out of proportion -- source link
