Twenty-sixth Session (6 page pdf) – “Nightfall Station” – Mansquitos and sleeping sickness and elf ambushes dog the pirates until they finally reach their destination, Nightfall Station. It’s a shithole.
A fight with a giant mosquito (which they name a “mansquito” since it is the size of a man) gets more complicated when they douse their captured shambling mound with water causing it to revive. And then they get ambushed by elves.
The Ekujae (jungle) elves have some cool tricks, like:
Thistle Arrows
These arrows are a specialty of the Ekujae shamans, who craft the arrowheads out of the thistles of a toxic plant that most creatures find highly caustic.
They deal normal damage but have a 25% chance of becoming embedded in the wound and causing an additional 1 point of damage each round from their irritating sap. Creatures immune to critical hits or sneak attacks are immune to this extra damage. A creature can remove an embedded thistle arrow as a move action without provoking attacks of opportunity, but doing so deals an additional 1d3 points of damage as the thorny barbs are pulled free. A DC 12 Heal check (made as a standard action) can pull free a thistle arrow’s head without dealing any additional damage.
