Info

Hazards: The sludge is 20 feet deep. A character who falls into the tank must make Swim checks as if he were in water. In addition, the rotating blades in the shaded areas make automatic melee attacks each round against each creature within their areas of effect. The blades have a melee attack bonus of +20 and deal 4d8 slashing damage. Any character injured by the blades while he is immersed in the muck is exposed to filth fever (Fortitude DC 18, incubation period 1d3 days; damage 1d3 Dex and 1d3 Con). Elder Black Pudding: CR 9; Gargantuan ooze; HD 20d10+180; hp 290; Init –5; Spd 20 ft., climb 20 ft.; AC 1, touch 1, flat-footed 1; Base Atk +15; Grp +35; Atk +19 melee (3d6+12 plus 3d6 acid, slam); Full Atk +19 melee (3d6+12 plus 3d6 acid, slam); Space/Reach 20 ft./20 ft.; SA acid, constrict 2d8+12 plus 2d6 acid, improved grab; SQ blindsight 60 ft., split, ooze traits; AL N; SV Fort +15, Ref +1, Will +1; Str 26, Dex 1, Con 28, Int —, Wis 1, Cha 1. Skills & Feats: Climb +16*. *A black pudding has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. Acid (Ex): Any melee strike or constrict attack deals acid damage. The opponent’s armour and clothing dissolve and become useless immediately unless they succeed on Reflex saving throws (DC 29). A metal or wooden weapon that strikes a black pudding also dissolves immediately unless it succeeds on a Reflex saving throw (DC 29). The pudding’s acidic touch deals 21 points of damage per round to wooden or metal objects, but the ooze must remain in contact with the object for one full round to deal this damage. The save DC is Constitution-based. Constrict (Ex): A black pudding deals automatic slam and acid damage with a successful grapple check. The opponent’s clothing and armour take a –4 penalty on Reflex saving throws against the acid. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a black pudding must hit with its slam attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of Ibon Presno Gonzalez (order #73006) 8 79
80 opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict. Split (Ex): Slashing and piercing weapons deal no damage to a black pudding. Instead the creature splits into two identical puddings, each with half of the original’s current hit points (round down). A pudding with ten hit points or less cannot be further split and dies if reduced to zero hit points. 2. Scum Pools The water in this region is covered with green mats of pulp. You can see movement under the surface, but it is hard to tell what. The region toward the stern of the ship is home to an extended clan of filth nixies, loathsome sprites who dwell only in the most putrid waters they can find. They believe themselves to be the true masters of the ship and consider the rubbish dropped down into the bilges to be ‘tribute’. Intruders in their realm are treated as peasants who must be taxed. Occasionally filth nixies are sent up through the pipes to raid the stores or purposefully jam the plumbing. The Sea Harriers treat them as vermin and kill them on sight. There are currently 70 of the little horrors living here, in nests built under the waterline. They try to pick the Player Characters’ pockets if they wade into this area, using the murky water for concealment. If the Player Characters make a sustained and respectful attempt to converse with the nixies, they are told that the nixies will help them if they bring alcohol. The filth nixies are greedy, so at least a full barrel of ale or wine is required. If the Player Characters manage to deliver, the nixies run amok and drink themselves insensible, completely ignoring any questions. They do, however, condescend to answer if the Player Characters stubbornly persist or threaten violence (and are obviously a threat). The filth nixies have been here since before the Sea Harriers took over the ship. Filth Nixie: CR 4; Small Fey (Aquatic); HD 6d6; hp 21; Init +3; Spd 20 ft., swim 30 ft.; AC 14, touch 14, flat-footed 11; Base Atk +3; Grp –2; Atk Short sword +7 melee (1d4-1/19–20) or light crossbow +7 ranged (1d6/19–20); Full Atk Short sword +7 melee (1d4- 1/19–20) or light crossbow +7 ranged (1d6/19–20); Space/Reach 5 ft./5 ft.; SA Stench cloud, disease; SQ Amphibious, damage reduction 10/cold iron, disease immunity, low-light vision, spell resistance 21, water breathing, wild empathy; AL NE; SV Fort +2, Ref +8, Will +6; Str 8, Dex 16, Con 11, Int 12, Wis 13, Cha 18. Filth nixies are mottle-skinned creatures with straggly hair and bulging eyes. They are as hideous as the freshwater nixies are comely. They are clearly a variant on the nixie race, though it is unknown whether they were originally nixies who were degraded through some form of curse, or a parallel species. They usually go naked or wear pieces of rotten cloth. They prize the skulls of small animals as headdresses. Filth nixies love alcohol and love to steal it from humans. They are usually surly and vicious, but a bribe of a bottle of spirits can bring them around. Filth nixies are an especial problem in damp cellars, as they get into wine butts, drink themselves insensible and then drown in the wine, ruining it. Amphibious (Ex): Although filth nixies are aquatic, they can survive indefinitely on land. Disease (Ex): Filth nixie weapons are besmirched with unpleasant substances from their environment. A hit from a filth nixie weapon that deals damage exposes the victim to a severe form of tetanus. This requires a Fortitude saving throw (DC 16) to avoid; it otherwise deals 1d4 Strength damage and has an incubation period of 1d3 days. Every time a character suffers two or more points of Strength damage, he must make a further Fortitude saving throw or be permanently afflicted with jaw cramp, rendering him unable to speak. Stench Cloud (Sp): A filth nixie can use stinking cloud three times per day as the spell (caster level 4 th ). Those affected must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 15) or be nauseated for as long as they remain in the cloud and for 1d4+1 rounds after they leave. Creatures who remain in the cloud must make a new saving throw each round on the filth nixie’s turn. Filth nixies are immune to their own and each other’s stench clouds. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based. Water Breathing (Sp): Once per day a filth nixie can use water breathing as the spell (caster level 12 th ). Disease Immunity (Ex): A filth nixie is immune to all diseases. Wild Empathy (Ex): This ability works like the druid’s wild empathy class feature, except that a filth nixie has a +6 racial bonus on the check. Ibon Presno Gonzalez (order #73006) 8
