Description

Pirate Curse: Captain Van Riese has disadvantage on all rolls if she is thrown overboard and starts her turn in sea water. If she starts her turn in sea water she takes 8d6 acid damage and cannot reduce the damage in any way.

Captain Pietra Van Riese is a cursed pirate who haunts the Sea of Sorrow. She plunders as much treasure as she can with the control of her undead pirate crew. When her hulls are full and she is ready to take her treasure back to port she experiences her death at the hands of her rivals as phantom canons blow holes in her ship and it sinks to the bottom of the ocean, taking the treasure she has gathered with it. And then on the midnight of the following day her ship rises from the depths of where she set up port and it starts all over again.
