fearsome giant squid You're fighting a fearsome giant squid

With a writhing of tentacles and a geyser of seawater, a fearsome squid from the depths of the sea surfaces near your vessel!

"All hands look lively! That devil will take us to Mike Nesmith's locker for sure!" one of your fellow sailors shouts.

It gets a tentacle around your neck and one around your ribs, and does its best to pop your head off like a champagne cork. Ooh! Ow! Oof!

Miss Message(s):

It tries to wrap a tentacle around your ribs, but you tell it, "not on the first date."

It tries to wrap a tentacle around each of your legs, but you flex your mighty calves and it can't quite get around 'em.

A tentacle whips past your <arse>. Whew!

Notes

  • This monster cannot be copied.
  • The special move reduces the crew count by 1.
  • The squid sometimes eats a crewmember at the start of combat, reducing crew count by 1:
    A tentacle erupts from the sea and pulls a crewman into the depths before anyone can react!
    A tentacle snakes out of the water and up into the crow's nest, knocking down <crewmember> before any a man can warn him!
    A tentacle whips across the deck, halving poor cabin boy <crewmember> before anyone can even shout "'ware the squid!"
  • The squid's attack can be rebuffed by a bubble shield, however:
    A tentacle erupts from the sea and lashes at a crewman, but is rebuffed by the layer of bubbles protecting the ship.
  • If banished, the message occurs that "You get the feeling that squids don't leave a place for very long." Banishment does not occur.
