Ghost Ship
A ship pitches aimlessly on the waves, no crew in sight, the tattered remains of her sails fluttering
d4 | The legends in these parts say that... |
---|---|
1 | sometimes, for reasons unknown, the Sargasso frees a ship from its verdant clutches to spread seed throughout the seas |
2 | once a year, on the last new moon, all captains are given a chance to atone to the gods for their sins against sailors. Woe betide the ships of those too proud to humble themselves in such a fashion |
3 | some ships are doomed to sail forever after falling prey to the pirates of The Cracked Mirror |
4 | anyone who hoists their flag upon the mast of a ghost ship is granted an obscene mastery over death itself |
d6 | The vessel is... |
---|---|
1 | abandoned, but easily boarded by the brave. Perhaps an investigation can uncover what led to its current state |
2 | a highly mobile schooner stronghold for The Drowned |
3 | the infamous ghost ship The Celestial Marriage, often seen as a portent of ill omen |
4 | a Draugr Dagonboat hailing from the bleak, skeleton-strewn shores of the Northern Necrocracy |
5 | actually an Astral Ship, blown far off planar course, crewed by intelligent, plane-hopping arachnids in distress |
6 | a Balefire Bireme, aglow with ghostly flame. It will initiate ramming maneuvers, even though it's completely incorporeal. The flames only burn incombustible items like metal and stone |
d8 | Sometimes found clinging to the hull of ghost ships like remora... |

1 | are patches of phosphorescent algae, enhancing its eerie appearance |
2 | are Figurehead Golems, craving to be liberated to the bow of another ship |
3 | one could discover Magebane Anemones - curious creatures that filter feed on latent arcane energy |
4 | |
5 | is a species of barnacle, its shell a Death's Head that is said to allow the consumer to speak with dead |
6 | Spectral Suckerfish, feasting on the negative energy left in its wake |
7 | one may find the wickedly barbed mermaid purses containing under-developed, but still malevolent Ixitxachitl |
8 | are several spellworms, actually a mollusk, that when dried carefully over the course of a few days, become single single-use magical wands |
