Lair and Lair Actions
A warship that used to be the flagship of the Jexonian fleet, the Dauntless is a Man O' War boasting a crew of about 1000 of the most ruthless swashbucklers in the Jelfer Archipelago. Roughly 300 feet long and 40 feet wide with 5 decks of cannons, the Dauntless is capable of taking on a fleet of ships by herself. Under Brood's hands, it is a symbol of terror and oppression that indiscriminately sinks ships to satisfy her captain's bloodlust.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Brood takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Brood can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The Dauntless spawns 1d8 Swashbucklers. They have the same statistics as what is in Volo's Guide to Monsters except they appear with only 1 HP
- The ensuing battle around swirls with wind and water that carries cannon fire up to the deck. Everyone on the deck of the ship must make a DC 18 Dexterity save or take 12 (3d8) bludgeoning damage.
- Brood commands his ship to move suddenly in any random direction. Those on the ship must make a DC 18 Strength or Dexterity save or fall prone.
Regional Effects
The region containing the Brood’s lair is the area patrolled by his infamous ship, the Dauntless and the ships herself create one or more of the following effects:
- The seas 5 miles from the Dauntless become rough and choppy making travel harder and half speed.
- The skies will swirl with dark clouds with random bolts of lightning striking the surface of the waves with electrical energy.
If Brood dies, these effects fade over the course of 20d20 days.
