Beasts and monsters

Battle

Orcas, sharks, whales, narwhals and serpents bite the hull, never the crew. Only «Attack» — no grapples. Flense the carcass for oil, bone and teeth.

  1. A beast has no ring of choices: just «Attack». It has no guns; it bites, and its bite grows with its level.

  2. Each has its way: orcas and sharks go for the rudder, a narwhal's tusk opens a leak, a serpent coils round the hull, a sperm whale rams. They never kill crew. A wounded beast flees for a few seconds, then turns at bay.

  3. The kill gives experience, and the carcass floats for 5 minutes: heave to alongside to flense it. An orca gives whale oil, teeth and whalebone; a sperm whale oil, whalebone and sometimes ambergris. Blood in the water draws sharks.
