Adversaries Designed by Dwayne at The Tabletop Tavern

Adversary overview

A stalking predatory creature that bides its time for the right moment to strike.

The Giant Eel is a lurking predatory creature that bides its time waiting for the best opportunity to attack its prey. It stays submerged and out of site until the time is right and then it strikes.
Usually found in large bodies of water but prefers shallow areas where it can prey upon surface dwelling food sources versus the more dangerous deep ocean predators.

    Spotlight the Eel again to have it submerge with the player.

    Create a breathing countdown for the player.

  • Toying with prey

    Instead of attacking its prey directly the Giant Eel can nudge boat with its large body.. Doing so will not hurt a player but may cause anyone on the boat to fall overboard. If the Eel takes this action have all players on board the boat to make an Agility reaction roll. Failure results in the player having to mark a stress. Failure with Fear results in that player falling overboard.
