Ships of the RHC

The Risuri navy, armed with enchanted cannons and guided by skyseers who can control the winds, are arguably the greatest seafaring military in the world. Though Risur   is slowly integrating steam engines into its fleet, most of its vessels are still powered by sail.
Not every threat to Risur happens in the streets of Flint. The Flint   branch has five vessels at its disposal, since sometimes the constabulary needs to deal with threats at sea or simply pursue investigations in other cities or countries. Usually, though, these ships stay docked, with only maintenance crews aboard.
Requisitioning a Risuri vessel requires the characters to ask for a favor, and can only be done by characters with a certain level of Prestige  .

Audacious, Excise Cutter.

This traditional fore-and-aft rig of a 30-foot long cutter has a single mast supporting a mainsail and two or more headsails attached to a bowsprit, plus an optional topsail for extra speed. Excise cutters often serve as harbor patrol and law enforcement. Units of constables have used this beloved ship for decades, and this affection manifests by granting all the crew a +1 bonus to saving throws while within sight of the ship if the vessel is undamaged.
Requesting the Audacious is a Rank 1 favor using Risur prestige, modified by the time the ship will be needed. It has no standing crew of its own, so constables must pilot it themselves.

Inevitable, Steam Cutter.

Designed to fill the role of sailing excise cutters, steam cutters can more easily travel against the wind, but are louder and must rely on fuel, which somewhat limits their long-distance uses. Inevitable has only been in use by the RHC for five years, and its first crew died in a boiler explosion. The ship was salvaged and repaired, and now some unearthly force daunts those who would threaten the vessel. Hostile creatures stepping aboard treat the first square they enter as difficult terrain.
Requesting the Inevitable is a Rank 1 favor using Risur prestige, modified by the time the ship will be needed. It has no standing crew of its own, so constables must pilot it themselves.

Roscommon, Fey-Pact Schooner.

The 90-foot Roscommon mounts a three-masted square-topsail rig. Laid down in 417 A.O.V., when it was nearing completion its designer had a druid deliver a replica to a fey circle near the logging town of Roscommon. The model ship delighted the local fey queen Medb, and the next morning when the designer returned to work, the ship’s figurehead had been replaced by a beautiful faerie woman carved from living wood. The rigging is somewhat petulant, but the vessel can teleport short distances, as the spell misty step once per day, an incredible power in ship-to-ship combat.
Requesting Roscommon and its crew of sixteen is a Rank 3 favor using Risur prestige, modified by the time the ship will be needed.

Khalundurrin, Bold Dwarven Steamship.

Risuri forces captured the Khalundurrin from the Drakran navy when the ship strayed too close to an ongoing naval battle during the Fourth Yerasol War. Its captain claimed that he tried to avoid the fight, but his ship had changed course when he wasn’t looking, like it wanted to get into combat. Arcanists who examined the ship postulate that some manner of spirit might inhabit its steam engine. Crew who serve on it sleep easily and speak of dreams filled with bold imagery like something out of a dwarven opera.
Requesting Khalundurrin and its crew of eight is a Rank 3 favor using Risur prestige, modified by the time the ship will be needed.

Impossible, Extreme Clipper.

The 250-foot Impossible is built wholly for speed, and is primarily used for missions of immense urgency. Due to the ship’s great expense, it is usually only deployed by the order of Lady Chief Inspectress Margaret Saxby or one of her superiors. Its captain, Rutger Smith, has never seen combat. He sees himself as a philosopher, not a warrior, and while his crew have great morale, they are the target of light mockery from other crews in the RHC and the navy.
Requesting the Impossible and its crew of sixty-four is a Rank 4 favor using Risur prestige, modified by the time the ship will be needed.
