Counter Attack. When a creature targets the captain with a melee attack, he uses his reaction to make a cutlass attack against the creature. Additionally, any time a creature attempts to make a melee attack against him and rolls a natural 1 on the attack roll, he hits the creature regardless of his attack roll.

Counterspell (3/day). When the captain sees a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell and it's 5th level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect.  If it is casting a spell of 6th level or higher, make an ability check using his spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, the creature’s spell fails and has no effect.

Reflect (1/day). If the captain is targeted by spell or would be affected by a spell that creates an area of effect and the spell is 7th level or lower, the spell is reflected to the creature casting it, or centered on the creature if it has an area. If it is casting a spell of 8th level or higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 12 + the spell’s level.

Description

Captain Roger Moore Redbeard is one of the many pirates who haunt the Tropical Sea and is the captain of the Black Seas Barracuda. Unlike most of pirates he is actually fairly friendly, but don’t be fooled, if there is gold on the line he can get quite ruthless. Captain Redbeard is proud of his ancestors, and seeks to reclaim the gold that they have hidden across the Southern Sea. 

Lair and Lair Actions

The Black Seas Barracuda looks like a typical brig with two square-rigged masts. The ship is armed with 18 cannons, 9 on each side. There are also four cargo bays, each covered with a hatch that can be left open as a hazard in combat. 

Lair Actions

On initiative count 22 (losing initiative ties), the captain takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the captain can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

  • Rope Swing. The Captain cuts a rope and holds on, pulling himself upwards or sideways up to 20ft.
  • Mast Swivel. The captain orders his crew to turn one of the masts. Anyone within 15ft. of that mast must make a DC 16 Dexterity Save or take 15 (3d8) Bludgeoning  damage and be knocked prone.
  • Cargo Hatch. The captain orders his crew to open one of the cargo bay hatches. Any creature standing on top of the trap door must make a DC 14 Dexterity Save or take 10 (4d4) Bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone in the ships cargo hold.

The seas within 1 mile of the Black Seas Barracuda are infested with aggressive sharks that attack any creature that falls in the water. The captain, and his crew, can not be surprised while on the ship, and have advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed.

If the captain dies, these effects fade over the course of 2d4 days.
