EIDOLON

This swift vessel is a relatively recent design, constructed by the Crown for the purposes of eliminating their enemies in the War of Ash and Light. The Eidolon's unique make allows for it to travel undetected, masked through wrapping an illusory barrier around itself created by its Nightfall Generator. The ship can float but but isn't built for long term water travel.

Standard weaponry includes 3 cannons-- one on the forecastle, one in the middle of the top deck, and one on the sterncastle. Lastly, the ship is equipped with one ballista and a specialized mounted gauss cannon in the hull.

Hit Points 100

This horn emits a thunderous blast audible 1200 feet away. Each creature within 120 feet of the airship must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 5d6 thunder damage and is deafened for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't deafened. Creatures and objects made of glass or crystal have disadvantage on the saving throw and take 10d6 thunder damage instead of 5d6.

If the Blasting Horns are reduced to 0 hit points there is a 20% chance they explode. The explosion deals 10d6 fire damage to the the hull and destroys the horns.

Description:

Skyships typically resemble ocean faring ships held aloft by three or more brumestones. The decks are inscribed with arcane runes that adjust the stones' buoyancy and control the skyship's direction. Most Skyships have a set of controls to send arcane signals through these runes and influence the brumestone: little rods and handles that change the pitch and yaw, regulators to lift, descend, and turn left or right.

Skyships have sails atop their deck to catch wind flying in a forward motion, and often some manner of sail protrude from the sides of the hull to act as wings and provide additional lift. Skyships are typically seaworthy in case an emergency landing in the water is necessary.

Skyships fly at approximately the same height as birds can reach, or slightly higher for limited periods. The stronger winds at higher altitudes make maintaining course problematic, since the sails require gentler weather. For this reason, skyships try to avoid storms, and some have fallen or vanished in bad weather.

A Skyship has the following features:

Ceilings. The ceilings in the lower deck, holds, and cabins are 8 feet high with 6-foot-high doorways.

Doors. The ship's doors are made of wood and have AC 15, 18 hit points, and immunity to poison and psychic damage. A lock can be picked with a successful DC 15 Dexterity check made using thieves' tools, or the door can be forced open with a successful DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check.

Footlockers. Footlockers on the ship are iron and have AC 19, 18 hit points, and immunity to poison and psychic damage.

Light. Hanging lanterns cast bright light throughout the ship.

Rigging. Rigging on the ship can be climbed without an ability check.

Sails. The ship has three 80-foot-tall masts with sails to catch the wind and oars on the lower deck for rowing.

Crew

• One captain
  
• Four other officers: a first mate, a bosun, a quartermaster, and a cook (noble stat block)
