• One Page Sheet
• Pirate's Plunder Deck

Humiliation: A creature rolling a natural 1 on an attack roll is knocked prone immediately after the attack. Being knocked prone by Humiliation cannot be negated in any way.

Respawn                     Terrain Power

At-Will - teleportation

Trigger: You start your turn dying, dead or begin your first turn of the encounter.

Effect (No Action): If you are dying, you die. You regain all hit points and healing surges, refresh all encounter powers and power points, remove all conditions, and teleport to an unoccupied square of your choosing.

Lava Lake: The Hellstrider sails through a lava sea in the Elemental Chaos where the planes of fire and earth meet. Any creature that falls into the sea is instantly killed. Flying creatures are not immune to the lava's intense heat. Any creature flying or floating above the lava lake takes 15 fire damage for moving into, starting their turn in, or ending their turn in a lava square.

The Ship:  The Hellstrider sits 15 feet (3 squares) above the surface of the lake. Although the ship does have low rails around all decks, they are not enough to stop something from sliding off; they grant no bonus to being moved off the ship.


Wheel: You can turn the ship’s wheel to force a sharp turn, causing everything on deck to tumble.

Turn the Wheel                     Terrain Power
Standard Action                    Personal
Effect: You push all other creatures on the ship up to 1d4 squares away from either the port or starboard rail. You must push all creatures the same number of squares and the same direction.
Special: Flying creatures are moved the same number of squares in the opposite direction as the deck suddenly moves out from under them.

Crow's Nest: The crow's nest sits 20 ft. above the deck. Rigging around the mast is easy to climb (Athletics DC 5). Creatures that are subject to forced movement while climbing the rigging must make a saving throw or be moved off and fall. Creatures that are subject to damage or a prone effect while climbing must make a DC 10 Athletics check or fall.
The Crow’s Nest grants cover from attacks on the main deck (but not from the forecastle or sterncastle decks). Creatures adjacent to the mast or inside the sterncastle cabin cannot attack the Crow’s Nest.
Crow’s Nest: Standing on the crow's nest gives you command of the lava in the lake, allowing you to call geysers of molten rock out of the environment. While in the Crow’s Nest, you may make a Lava Burst attack

Pirate’s Plunder: The treasure chests found in the captain’s quarters contain powerful magic items and boons. At the Dungeon Master's option, magic items may be plundered from other maps (ex. E1M1) and added to the treasure pile.
Boons are retained even if you die. Once they are used, they are returned to the bottom of the treasure pile.
