Captain Belros

Skilled Swimmer. Captain Belros was a skilled swimmer in life and unlike most drowned, has taken this skill with him into the afterlife. He takes no penalties to its movement or attacks underwater. It is immune to the effects of being underwater at a depth greater than 100 feet.

Bound Together. Captain Belros shares his mind with every other drowned one within 1 mile of it, and can communicate its thoughts and observations to them instantaneously and without limitation.

Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces Captain Belros to 0 hit points, he must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, Captain Belros to 1 hit point instead.

Point Black Pistoleer. Captain Belros is extremely adept at fighting in close quarters combat with sword and pistol. He takes no penalty when firing within 5 feet of an enemy.

Multiattack. Captain Belros can make either one pistol attack and reload or he can make two sword attacks. He can then take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Rusted Cutlass. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or contract bluerot (see the “Bluerot” sidebar).

Flintlock Pistol. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 60/240 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 3) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) poison damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or contract bluerot (see the “Bluerot” sidebar).

Frightful Visage (1/Day). Captain Belros removes his mask, revealing his rotting face. Each creature of the Captain's choice within 30 feet of it that can see the him must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of its next turn.

Spiteful End. As a reaction to suffering a fatal blow, as one final act of spite, Captain Belros will light and throw a single black powder grenade at a target of his choosing.
