Last week, we mentioned that we are posting previews of recent releases. Previously, we posted a preview of Book of Magic: Insurgency of Summer. Today we are giving you a ship from Book of Multifarious Munitions: 10 Pirate Ships. The Vehicles section of Ultimate Combat presented a number of sample vehicles, however they were all mundane ships. So when I was designing 10 Pirate Ships, I knew I wanted a ship propelled by elementals. Something as magical as a ship propelled by elementals and as eerie as seeing a sailing vessel without sails would be highly iconic and memorable to any player. So to your game, I give you the Terror Trident.

Description
Few need to see the flag of the Terror Trident to recognize this ship. Unlike most ships that sail the high seas, this ship lacks sails. The pair of eerily empty masts does not prevent this ship from moving. The goddess of piracy gifted her high priest, Captain Gavin Seawave, with 13 water elementals to push his ship. In return, the goddess demands that the crew of every ship they board be killed and thrown into the sea. The treasure, however, is to be divided by the crew according to their worth. The only exception the goddess allows to her mandate of death is if a prisoner bows in worship to the pirate goddess and will swear fealty to the hierophant and serve him faithfully.
