The Jade Marquess

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Size and Form

The Jade Marquess is a sailing ship made of a dark, green material reminiscent of jade. In addition to sailing on the waves, It’s prow can part the earth as if it were water. It can also sail on land.
As the Jade Marquess grows, she adds new features. At her smallest, she is just a simple canoe. At 20 feet, she grows a small mast and sail. At 30 feet a small cabin forms. Each time the Jade Marquess grows, the particular features are different than the time before. At her largest, she has three masts, and four deck levels.
The prow (front) of the Jade Marquess is carved in the shape of a halfling face. It can see, hear, smell, and talk with this face. Her voice is soft and quiet when she is small, but deep and commanding when full grown.

The Jade Marquess must consume living flesh in order to maintain or grow in size.

Workings

The Jade Marquess leaves behind a very distinctive wake of furrowed land. She never needs a crew. Whoever is standing at the helm can command all of her sailing and combat functions. No storm, spell, or creature can sink the Jade Marquess. When she takes damage, she shrinks. Every five lost hit points is a foot of lost length. No spell can change her shape or nature, or control her mind. She is unaffected by any form of spellcasting. If she shrinks too much, she may lose some of her weapons.
When the Jade Marquess reaches 40 feet in length, she grows a strange looking device on her forecastle (forward most deck). It has one offensive weapon that can fire Bigby's Crushing Hand that can only fire in a forward 45 degree angle. At 60 feet, she grows another with the same power to the aft that can only fire in a 45 degree angle to the back. At 80 feet in length she grows a different looking device on one side that has a different offensive weapon that fires a lightning bolt. At 100 feet, she grows an identical device on the other side with the same power. Both of these are only able to fire in a 45 degree arc to the side they each face.
