Slithering Leaf Vehicle in World of Stendaaris | World Anvil

Slithering Leaf

It's sleek and fast. Finds air currents to aid in flight easily. Operates in a brusque professional way when the sails are hoisted by the airship crew. However, when the airship crew is on vacation, everything gets messed up. Everyone's somewhat focused on finding weird objects like Captain Bristle. It's why they work so well together.  

Actions

On its turn the airship can take 3 actions if it has twenty or more crew, 2 actions if it has ten or more crew, or 1 action if it has fewer than ten crew, choosing from the options below. It cannot take any actions if it has no remaining crew.   Fire Ballistas
The airship can fire its harpoon guns.   Move
The airship can use its helm to move using its propeller. If the airship enters a Large or smaller creature's space, that creature is automatically pushed to the edge of the airship's space. The creature must also succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 5 (1d10) bludgeoning damage.   Harpoon Haul
The airship can pull each target grappled by it up to 30 feet toward the airship.   Water Landing
The airship attempt land on water and traverse the seas.   Bristle's Keen Airial Agility
The airship can double the airships speed until the end of the turn. Once this occurs the airships control crystal takes 25 points of damage. The airship can't use it again until it moves 0 feet on one turn or if the control crystal shatters.
