3. Arsenal
The door to this room is made from iron and has a
stylised medusa face glowering from it. It is locked
securely, but may be opened with an Open Lock check
(DC 40). All captains carry keys to the arsenal. In
order to open it safely, a command phrase known only
to those of lieutenant rank and above must be spoken.
Attempting to open the door without the command
phrase triggers a flesh to stone trap:
Flesh to Stone trap: CR 7; magic device; touch trigger
(alarm); automatic reset; spell effect (flesh to stone, 13 th
level wizard, Fortitude saving throw (DC 20) negates;
Search DC 31, Disable Device DC 31.
This storeroom smells of oily rags, old iron and tar.
Mounted on the walls and hanging from racks are
hundreds of weapons, enough to equip a small army.
You notice an excessive number of billhooks, boarding
pikes and handaxes. Slumped against the far wall is
a large armoured figure, like a giant made from iron.
Someone has jammed a floppy black hat on his head.
The hat has a skull-and-crossbones patch sewn onto it.
This inert figure is Crunk, the Sea Harriers’ pet iron
golem. He has not been properly maintained and is
badly rusted in places. They keep him in the arsenal as
a backup weapon in case the ship is ever invaded. He
was originally supposed to accompany them on raids
but was too ungainly to leap from ship to ship and kept
falling overboard, which meant hours of work hauling
him back up again. If the Player Characters approach
closer than ten feet, he awakens and attacks them but
will not pursue them beyond the arsenal.

Breath Weapon (Su): Ten-foot cube, cloud of poisonous
gas lasting one round, emitted as a free action once
every 1d4+1 rounds; initial damage 1d4 Con, secondary
damage 3d4 Con, Fortitude saving throw (DC 19)
negates.
Immunity to Magic (Ex): Crunk is immune to any spell
or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In
addition, certain spells and effects function differently
against him. A magical attack that deals electrical
damage slows Crunk (as the slow spell) for three rounds
with no saving throw. A magical attack that deals fire
damage breaks any slow effect on Crunk and heals one
point of damage for each three points of damage the
attack would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing
would cause Crunk to exceed his full normal hit points,
he gains any excess as temporary hit points. Crunk
receives no saving throw against fire effects. He is
affected normally by rust attacks, such as those of a rust
monster or a rusting grasp spell.
The weapons in the arsenal are all of ordinary quality.
Most of the Sea Harriers have weapons of their own
but it is cumbersome to lug a pike around all day, so
the arsenal is there to act as a central repository. If
the ship were ever to be attacked by a large force, one
of the captains would open up the arsenal and begin
distributing weapons to the Harriers.
D. Upper Living Level
This deck of the ship is smelly, noisy and busy. The
majority of the Harrier crews live here, so the chance
of encountering Harriers moving from place to place is
very high.
If they are working their way through the ship by
stealth, the Player Characters may wish to hide in plain
sight at this point, disguising themselves as Harriers.
There are so many people that a few new faces will
not be that much of a surprise. The Harriers do not all
know each other and it is quite possible for a ship to be
away from the Celebration for months before returning,
during which time the crew can change its appearance
considerably.
1. Cabins
This small room is obviously lived in. You see rumpled
bedclothes, scattered clothing and wooden toys. A tiny
porthole lets in a little natural light.
