Homebrew Horror: That Old and Rotten Crick

(Art by @stranger-chads aka @bluejay-makes!)

First detailed here and further built upon here, the Rotten Crick has been plaguing my thoughts. The downside of working in a store that sells fishing gear, I suppose. This also is a departure from my normal intro blocks, since there's not that much more lore to go through!

Rotten Crick is a fisherman first and a fighter second, but of course a creature like him has to get good at filleting whatever monstrosity he drags ashore, alongside whatever assassins that enemy fey send his way. He also presents a very strange figure in any campaign he may appear in; he's immensely creepy and unquestionably evil, but he's entirely passive in the evil he does and can even benefit a community he enters! Not only can he teach men to fish, he can give them all the tools they need to do so AND defend them from greater threats at sea. Anyone who takes up his bargains may think they're being Devil Deal'd, but the truth is that there's an entirely different sort of danger in accepting his assistance that almost never affects the life of the person he's helped.

Rather than being a mundane source of fantastical danger (like a local lord using magic and conjured beasts to secure power), he's a fantastical source of mundane danger. He directly encourages and enables overfishing, water pollution, and ecological collapse, things that adventuring parties can't exactly solve by punching the right creature into submission. By the time the damage begins to manifest in a noticeable way, it's often too late to stop. Even if the party defeats or chases off the Old Crick, it could be years before the damage he does is undone, if it ever is, though the intervention of nature mages, other Fey, and spirits of the wilds may at least help clean and dress the wound.

If a DM wants to use the Old Crick to be a true and painfully clear source of immediate danger rather than a long-term danger, having him be a threat to local sapient sea life (such as water fey and merfolk) is fully possible. His animosity towards sea life peaks when he's faced with "betrayers," and he'll go out of his way to concoct terrible plans to cause their deaths.

Before we get to the man himself, though, we need to look at his two most famous pieces of equipment: The Tomb of Karaphas and the Tidepool Reaper.

The Tomb of Karaphas

Minor Artifact

Aura: Moderate Conjuration, Enchantment, and Transmutation

CL: 18th

Weight: 8lbs

Slot: —

This deceptively normal-looking but magical tacklebox contains everything an enterprising fisherman could need to do their work but a boat. The Tomb magically generates mundane supplies such as hooks, lines, rods, reels, floats, lures, baits, nets and whatever else as needed by its current holder. It can generate enough gear for up to six creatures to perform a day's work fishing and/or trawling, and grants anyone utilizing its tools a +5 profane bonus to Profession (Fisherman) checks (or similar), as well as to Survival checks made to gather food from bodies of water and areas nearby them. Anything generated by the Tomb dissolves into nothingness 7 days later.

In addition to the above functions, the Tomb of Karaphas is magically capacious, acting as a Bag of Holding (Type IV). What is contained within is largely at the DMs discretion, but it normally contains the Rotten Cricks four enchanted fillet knives crafted from whale bones (two +1 Keen Animal-Bane Daggers, two +1 Keen Aquatic-Bane Daggers), a Net of Snaring woven from merfolk hair, tools for preparing sea life for consumption, tools for whittling and scrimshaw, whittled and scrimshawed trinkets worth at least 4,000gp in total, no fewer than twenty bottled beverages of varying quality and alcohol content, and a corkscrew carved from a sea serpent's tooth.

Destruction: The Tomb of Karaphas and all its contents are destroyed utterly if gnashed between the teeth of Ragadahn while the Rotten Crick is dead.

-----

The Tidepool Reaper

Minor Artifact

Aura: Moderate Conjuration and Transmutation

CL: 18th

Weight: 4lbs

Slot: ---

This powerful, magical fishing rod is much more than its mundane appearance suggests. It's capable of fishing in any waters, magically adjusting the length of its line, the strength of the floats and the weight of the sinkers, and the size and design of the hook itself as needed, all such adjustments done on the fly by the malign intelligence within the tool with no action needed from the wielder. It's still up to the wielder to supply bait, but the Reaper can fetch bait on its own if a supply is left anywhere within 5ft of it. With a simple command, the Reaper will conjure a stand for itself and fish entirely on its own using either a Profession (Fishing) check or a Survival check (+10 to either), depositing its catches into whatever container is provided, throwing catches onto the shore beside it if no container is available.

In the hands of another creature, it grants that creature a +5 profane bonus to Profession (Fisherman) checks (or similar), as well as Survival checks made to gather food from bodies of water. Once per day, the Tidepool Reaper may be used to dredge up items of varying worth; this is identical to a 18th level Cleric with the Flotsam Subdomain using Sift.

Destruction: The Tidepool Reaper can only be destroyed if it is sealed inside of the Tomb of Karaphas when the tacklebox is destroyed.

Combat: The Old Crick generally only fights against creatures he has an enormous advantage against; that is, creatures his Fishmonger ability triggers against while his target is in the water, allowing him to utilize his Supreme Angler ability to attack with unavoidable strikes. Against surface-bound foes, he will use the Combat Maneuvers his whips afford him alongside Quickened Spiked Pit to dispose of most enemies, or Walk the Plank to drag enemies into spontaneously manifested bodies of water to take advantage of Supreme Angler. His Fog Clouds do not impede him due to his mist sight, and he will use them to confound enemies relying on sight and keep his distance to utilize his whip's power to their full potential. Other favored tactics include utilizing the disarming ability of whips he wields to relieve enemies of their equipment before throwing the items into his conjured pits, or overboard any ship he's on. If he can throw his enemies into bodies of water with any ability, he generally will.

Morale: Old Crick is maniacal in combat against sea life, and bravely fights to the death against such creatures for the chance to end them. Against surface life, he fights only until the other party is unconscious or retreats, and rarely coup de graces fallen foes unless they are aligned with the sea in some fashion; he will likely steal what he desires from them and leave them tied up for another creature to find. When reduced to 30 HP or below, he will surrender and attempt to parlay and/or bargain. If his surrender is rejected, he will fight to the death.

------ Special Abilities ------

Fearsome Fishing (Ex): Old Crick wields the tools of his trade with such expert experience that he may use even common fishing rods or lengths of rope as if they were whips, applying his whip-relevant feats and special abilities (including Supreme Angler, below) to any such tools he wields. Magic fishing rods or ropes are treated as +1 weapons in his hands. His signature rod, the Tidepool Reaper, is even more dangerous when used in this way, responding to his will as easily as a limb; he may freely use it as either an +2 Aquatic-Bane Whip with a reach of 30ft instead of 15, or a +1 Aquatic-Bane Keen Rapier, both of which he is proficient with.

Fishmonger (Ex): Old Crick has the Favored Enemy ability of a 15th level Ranger (+6 to Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks, as well as to attack and damage rolls), except it works universally against creatures with the Water or Aquatic subtypes. His hatred of sea life is so great that this ability also extends to Animals, Fey, Magical Beasts, and Vermin which live in the water, even if they do not have the Water or Aquatic subtypes. However, this ability never applies to creatures who do not live in water, even if they resemble sea creatures, as he commends such creatures for shedding their "horrid lifestyle" and choosing to "live properly."

Item Crafting (Ex): Old Crick gains Harvest Parts, Craft Wondrous Item, and Craft Magical Arms and Armor as bonus feats. He crafts Wondrous Items with incredible swiftness; any item that costs less than 1,000gp to create is crafted in 4 hours instead of 8.

Shield of Hatred (Su): The waves of hate flowing off Old Crick prevents sea life from easily touching him. He adds half the bonuses gained from Fishmonger (+3) as a profane bonus to his AC, to his CMD, and his saving throws against the attacks, abilities, maneuvers, and spells of any creature with the Aquatic or Water subtypes. He never counts as a willing target for the abilities of such creatures, even if he is magically compelled to do so.

Supreme Angler (Ex): Over the years, Old Crick has fished in the strangest waters one can imagine, and it's given him an insurmountable advantage when attacking the beasts of the sea. He ignores cover and concealment when attacking creatures that are partially or fully underwater while he himself is on the surface (whether on a shoreline, on a boat, or standing on the water). Each round, he gains a +20 profane bonus to the first attack roll or CMB check he makes with a whip against partially or fully submerged targets.

Random Rugan loreposting delivered straight to your dash!

So Rugan recieved an old banged up jade-powered skiff during his unplanned 'trip' to Cantha, but it recieved little use once the void revealed itself and started unmaking Tyria. There were slightly more pressing concerns than taking a serene fishing trip through the streams and lake of Echovald, so into storage it went, with the only thing approximating actual use being the occasional wistful glance Rugan would shoot it's way.

This was the case past the void's defeat and all the way until the end of the demon investigation in Gyala Delve, where Rugan got the first inkling of the idea that self-care is kinda important to staying in top form. So, out came the boat, as a personal project completely removed from his status as the dragon slayer. a project that he could slowly improve and work on, as something for just himself.

So far the boats gotten an improved exterior hull, additional motors for increased maximum speed, enchanted storage containers outfitted with the latest in runes of holding and last, but certainly not least, a set of drink holders. It's... also been sent to the bottom several times through the upgrade process, turns out doing carpentry while drunk is a bad idea actually!

Now that Falx has been born he has less spare hours for his personal boat project, but he still finds time every now and then. Letting the slow currents of the river take you through shaded glades while lazily holding onto your fishing rod is oddly theraputic, especially for Rugan who really needs a good reset from the 'all combat all the time' mentality.

Why a Docktail Bar with Teak Table Tops is the Best Option for Your Boat

It's important to select the appropriate items for the equipment on your boat, particularly for areas that will be exposed to water, sunlight, and changing weather conditions. Here at Docktail Bar, we think the finest solution for boats in terms of longevity and design is a teak table top. Whether you're entertaining guests or just enjoying a peaceful time at sea, a well-made teak table may make all the difference in your boating experience.

Why need Teak Table Tops for boats?

For all of these reasons, teak is one of the most sought-after woods in maritime settings. It resists rot, water damage, and insect infestation because of its sturdy construction and high oil content. Teak's resilience to extreme weather means that it will always be robust and lovely, even in the presence of submerged objects and bright sunlight.

Durability and Longevity

The extended longevity of teak table tops for yachts is one of their most notable qualities. Because teak doesn't warp or split readily like other wood varieties, it's the perfect choice for marine furniture. If a teak table is kept in good condition, it can last for many years and develop a silvery-grey patina or bright golden color.

Low Maintenance

Teak table tops are easy to maintain. You can apply teak oil to preserve their original golden tone, or you can let them weather naturally into a timeless gray coloring. To maintain a new appearance, give the tabletop a quick wipe-down with a little water and light soap. Teak's low-maintenance attractiveness is a big selling feature for boat owners searching for ease.

Aesthetic Appeal

When combined with your boat's modern style, teak's unparalleled natural beauty enhances the overall appearance of your watercraft. A teak tabletop elevates the exclusivity and sophistication of your boating experience, whether you're enjoying your meal outdoors or organizing a party on deck. Our teak table tops for boats at Docktail Bar are handmade with care to ensure that your boat will have both elegance and functionality.

13 Tips For Organizing And Decluttering Your Boat

Boating is a wonderful experience, but managing space aboard can be a challenge. A cluttered boat can reduce functionality and comfort. Whether you're an avid fisherman or a leisurely cruiser, staying organised on your vessel is essential. As a trusted Boats and Yachts dealer in Mumbai, India, we understand the importance of maintaining a neat and practical boat. Here are 13 tips for organising and decluttering your boat, along with useful products that will help you maximise space and ensure a smooth sailing experience.

There is a saying among boaters that any item not used within two weeks is likely unnecessary. When decluttering your boat, these should be the first items to go. Of course, we all know it is impossible to “deep six” every piece of boating gear — some things you just have to have on board! In cases like these, you should consider items that serve double duty and can help keep your decks clear and functional. Here are a few tips as well as a selection of products that will help keep your boat from going overboard with clutter:

1.Keep an inventory of your gear.

Be sure to inventory your boat gear yearly and remove any items that you do not use regularly or that are redundant.

2.Utilize dock boxes.

A dock box can quickly and easily stow large gear that you do not need every time you go out on the boat. These come in various shapes and sizes to fit any space, and some even double as waterside loungers.

3.Use your vertical space to your advantage.

Install cargo netting along the interior walls of your boat above the main deck and/or in the cabin. Cargo netting is cheap, versatile, lightweight, and simple to install and adjust.

4.Got junk?

If your helm console resembles the “junk drawer” in your kitchen at home, consider getting a helm organiser to help keep your VHF radio, cell phone, sunglasses, and other items orderly and secure.

5.You can use items found in your kitchen.

Place smaller tools, fishing tackle and gear items in Ziploc storage bags before putting them into lockers or drawers. This will help keep the contents separate, dry, and visible.

6.There is a lot of unused space hiding out under your boat’s deck.

Beckson Marine makes Stow-Away Deck Plates that have small drawstring bags attached to hold things like winches and wallets. The bags can be removed for carrying on shore.

Leisure Power Boat Market: From Recreation to Luxury

The leisure power boat market is rapidly expanding, driven by advancements in technology, increasing disposable incomes, and growing interest in recreational activities. Leisure power boats are typically used for activities such as fishing, water sports, cruising, and exploring. The diversity in their applications, along with the emergence of new trends, is contributing to the industry's growth.

1. Recreational Boating and Cruising

One of the primary applications of leisure power boats is for recreational boating and cruising. People seek outdoor experiences on the water, whether it’s for short weekend trips or long-term cruising along coastlines. Power boats allow individuals and families to explore lakes, rivers, and coastal regions with speed and comfort. With modern advancements in hull design, engine power, and onboard amenities, leisure power boats offer enhanced performance and luxury features, making them ideal for cruising enthusiasts.

2. Fishing

Fishing is another significant application for leisure power boats. These boats are designed to provide ample space, stability, and necessary equipment for both recreational and competitive fishing. Power boats in this category are equipped with features like live wells, rod holders, fish finders, and powerful motors to easily navigate waters and reach fishing hotspots. Given the growing popularity of sport fishing and eco-tourism, the demand for specialized fishing boats has increased.

3. Water Sports

Leisure power boats are also widely used for water sports activities such as water skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing. These boats are designed with powerful engines that can generate the speed necessary to create large wakes for wakeboarding or skiing. In addition to recreational activities, these boats are also used for water sports competitions, contributing to their popularity in the market. Some models are designed with built-in towers, speakers, and storage for gear, enhancing the overall water sports experience.

4. Luxury and Yachting

Luxury power boats and yachts are a growing segment within the leisure boating market. These boats are often equipped with advanced technologies and luxury features such as onboard kitchens, spacious cabins, entertainment systems, and high-end finishes. Yachts, in particular, offer premium experiences with features that allow for extended voyages, catering to those looking for a luxurious lifestyle on the water. This segment has attracted high-net-worth individuals who prioritize comfort, style, and cutting-edge technology while cruising.

5. Eco-Tourism and Sustainable Boating

The rising interest in eco-tourism has led to an increasing demand for eco-friendly leisure power boats. Manufacturers are now focusing on producing boats with electric engines or hybrid systems, which help reduce carbon footprints. Solar-powered boats and energy-efficient designs are becoming more common in the market, catering to environmentally conscious consumers. This shift aligns with global sustainability goals and opens up new opportunities in eco-tourism, where boats are used for nature tours, wildlife watching, and exploring protected water bodies.

6. Commercial and Charter Services

Leisure power boats are also used for commercial purposes, such as water taxis, private charters, and boat rental services. In tourist-heavy regions, companies offer luxury yacht charters for private events, corporate meetings, and cruises. Power boats in these services are often equipped with high-end amenities and can be customized to meet the needs of clients. This niche market helps bridge the gap between personal and commercial uses of leisure power boats.

Conclusion

The leisure power boat market is diverse, offering applications ranging from recreational cruising and fishing to luxury yachting and water sports. With continued innovation in design, performance, and sustainability, the market is poised to meet the evolving demands of consumers.

Aluminum Boat Buyer's Guide: Addressing Common Queries

Purchasing an aluminum boat can be both an exciting and overwhelming experience, particularly for first-time buyers. With a vast array of options available, it's perfectly natural to have questions and concerns about making the right choice. This comprehensive guide is designed to address common queries about buying an aluminum boat, helping you navigate the process with confidence and ease.

Choosing the Right Size and Type

Your intended use will heavily influence your decision regarding the size and type of aluminum boat you should purchase. Consider how many passengers you plan to accommodate and the activities you envision enjoying on the water.

What Types of Aluminum Boats Are Available?

Aluminum boats come in various configurations, including Jon boats, bass boats, fishing boats, pontoon boats, and even larger vessels like cruisers and yachts. Each type is tailored for specific purposes such as fishing, water sports, or leisurely cruising. For instance, Jon boats are celebrated for their versatility and affordability, making them suitable for fishing, hunting, or other recreational activities. Bass boats are specifically designed for bass fishing and feature amenities like live wells, rod holders, and ample tackle storage.

Determining the Right Size for Your Needs

When selecting the appropriate size for your aluminum boat, consider how many people will typically be on board, the gear you’ll need to bring along, and the waters you plan to navigate. Generally speaking, larger boats provide more stability and capacity but can be more challenging to transport and maneuver. If you primarily fish with one or two companions, a 16- to 18-foot aluminum fishing boat may be ideal. However, if you anticipate having more passengers or venturing into rougher waters, a pontoon boat or a larger center console model might be more suitable.

Evaluating Quality and Construction

When investing in an aluminum boat, it’s critical to ensure that you're purchasing a well-constructed and durable vessel. Understanding different construction methods and materials can significantly impact your decision-making process.

What Should I Look for in Terms of Aluminum Boat Construction Quality?

Look for boats with fully welded hulls; these are typically more robust and less prone to leaks compared to riveted or seamed designs. Pay attention to the thickness of the aluminum used in construction; thicker gauges are generally more durable and resistant to dents and impacts. Reputable manufacturers often utilize marine-grade aluminum alloys like 5052 or 5086, which offer superior corrosion resistance and strength compared to standard aluminum.It's important to remember that even well-constructed aluminum boats may require maintenance over time. For instance, if you notice any damage or weakening in the transom area of your boat, consider looking into transom repair options or even aluminum boat transom replacement if necessary.

Are There Any Reputable Aluminum Boat Manufacturers I Should Consider?

Several well-known manufacturers produce high-quality aluminum boats worth considering. Brands like Tracker, Lowe, Crestliner, Starcraft, and Xpress have established themselves as reliable options in the market. Be sure to compare features and pricing among these reputable brands. Additionally, don't overlook regional manufacturers or custom builders who may cater to specific needs or preferences.

Factoring in Costs and Budgeting

Before making a purchase decision regarding an aluminum boat, it's essential to factor in all associated costs to ensure you stay within your budget.

What Are the Typical Costs Involved in Purchasing an Aluminum Boat?

When budgeting for your new aluminum boat purchase, remember that there are costs beyond just the price of the vessel itself. You'll need to account for registration fees, trailer expenses (if applicable), safety equipment costs, as well as any accessories or upgrades you might want. It's also vital to budget for ongoing maintenance costs, storage fees, fuel expenses, and insurance premiums. These additional costs can add up quickly; therefore, having a realistic understanding of your total investment is crucial.

Are There Any Financing Options Available for Aluminum Boat Purchases?

Many dealerships and manufacturers offer financing options that can make purchasing an aluminum boat more manageable financially. Be sure to compare interest rates and terms from various lenders to find the best deal that suits your financial situation. Some lenders may also provide special financing promotions or incentives that could save you money.

Assessing Dealer Reputation and Support

Ensuring that you receive proper support after your purchase is crucial for long-term satisfaction with your aluminum boat.

How Can I Evaluate the Reputation of an Aluminum Boat Dealer?

To assess a dealer's reputation effectively, check online reviews from previous customers, ask for recommendations from fellow boaters, and inquire about the dealer's experience with aluminum boats specifically. A reputable dealer should be knowledgeable about their products and transparent regarding pricing and services offered.

What Kind of Support Should a Dealer Provide After the Sale?

A good dealer should offer ongoing support that includes maintenance services as well as assistance with registration and licensing processes. They should also provide guidance on proper care techniques for your new boat while suggesting accessories that enhance your experience on the water. Many dealers offer warranty programs or extended service plans that provide peace of mind by protecting your investment over time.

Considering Resale Value and Longevity

Before making a long-term decision about purchasing an aluminum boat, it’s important to assess its potential resale value as well as its longevity.

How Does Resale Value Compare Between Aluminum Boats and Other Materials?

Aluminum boats generally hold their value well due to their durability and low maintenance requirements compared to other materials like fiberglass. However, resale value can vary based on factors such as age, condition, brand reputation, and market demand. Well-maintained aluminum boats from reputable manufacturers often command higher resale prices than fiberglass counterparts of similar age.

What Is the Typical Lifespan of an Aluminum Boat with Proper Maintenance?

With proper care and maintenance practices in place—such as regular cleaning, waxing, inspections—an aluminum boat can last for decades! Aluminum's inherent resistance to corrosion allows it to withstand harsh marine environments better than many other materials available today.For detailed information on maintaining your aluminum boat in top condition over its lifespan, check out our guide on Transom Repair: Mastering Fixes.

Accessories and Customization Options

Depending on how you intend to use your new vessel—and your personal preferences—consider various accessories that can enhance both functionality and appearance.

What Are Some Popular Accessories for Aluminum Boats?

Standard accessories often include:

Bimini tops or canopies for shade

Rod holders specifically designed for fishing

Depth finders

Trolling motors

Custom graphics or wraps

These additions not only improve your overall experience on the water but also allow you to tailor your vessel according to specific needs—whether you're an avid angler looking for enhanced fishing capabilities or someone who enjoys leisurely cruising with friends.

Can Aluminum Boats Be Customized After Purchase?

Absolutely! One of the advantages of owning an aluminum boat is its high degree of customizability. Many owners choose to modify their vessels over time by changing seating arrangements or adding new electronics such as audio systems. It's essential to work with experienced professionals when making modifications so that you don’t compromise structural integrity during upgrades.

Choosing the Right Dealer

When purchasing an aluminum boat, selecting the right dealer can significantly impact your overall satisfaction with both the buying process itself as well as future support after purchase.

Should I Prioritize Local Dealers or Consider Options Further Away?

While local dealers offer convenience along with support services post-purchase—such as maintenance—you might find better pricing or selection by exploring options further away from home base. Many dealers will assist with delivery arrangements if needed; therefore keeping an open mind during your search is beneficial!

Are There Advantages to Buying from a Dealer Specializing in Aluminum Boats?

Dealers who specialize in selling aluminum vessels possess extensive knowledge about these types of boats which proves invaluable when choosing models suited specifically towards individual needs while understanding maintenance requirements thoroughly too! Additionally they often maintain strong relationships with manufacturers allowing them access parts specific only towards certain brands making repairs easier down-the-line!

How Important Is It To Have A Dealer With A Dedicated Service Department?

Having access through a dealer possessing dedicated service departments can greatly enhance long-term ownership satisfaction especially if planning on keeping said vessel over many years! Skilled technicians familiarized within this field ensure proper maintenance & repairs take place extending lifespan while preserving value throughout ownership journey!By addressing these common questions regarding purchasing an aluminum boat—alongside considering various factors outlined within this guide—you'll be equipped with knowledge necessary towards making informed decisions tailored specifically towards meeting personal boating aspirations! Researching thoroughly coupled alongside asking pertinent questions ensures finding just right vessel providing enjoyment throughout countless adventures spent upon water!
