Guild Notes

Following an encounter in Confederation Bay in 801wk

Sentient aquatic humanoids. Green, scaly, fish-like heads, feet and hands very webbed and extended. They range in size from 6 to 25 feet tall. Mingle in large groups of mixed size. Their language appears to be gutteral bubbly noises – impossible to fake without prior preparation. Often accompanied by sharks –seem to have bond with sharks – beastmaster? summon control? Some were water mages. They are the traditional enemy of merfolk. They had a supply of gold merfolk caps, but whether they constructed them or stole them from merfolk is hard to say.

They are doughty fighters – they are difficult to harm past their scaly skin as hard as plate (thicker for large ones), and they stay on their feet for a long time. They fight with Trident and Net – they are not great strikers, but are very strong, and their net is to be feared. They swim fast – little ones as fast as sharks, larger ones faster than dolphins. Hierarchical, military social structure seen – may be indictive of overall culture, or merely of an elite special forces squad. Do not respond well to surprises, and usually will not flee or surrender if out-matched. I believe they are used to being better than their opposition and do not have fall-back plans.
