Mike's Free Encounter #82: Sea Devil

This is the 82nd in an ongoing series aimed to provide the overworked DM with ready-to run encounters. The PCs encounter the Sea Devil, a pirate ship crewed by literal devils. 

Relana was a malenti born shortly before the destruction of her tribe and was among the few who managed to escape. Dreaming of revenge, she joined the crew of a pirate ship. Talented and ruthless, Relana eventually earned her captaincy by capturing a merchant ship and maintaining her command against all challengers. She renamed the vessel the Sea Devil and set sail for her former home waters.

Relana’s revenge proved both satisfying and profitable, resulting in a massive bounty on her head and lesser bounties for her crew. But, it seemed, no captain was up to the task—Relana always seemed two steps ahead. Until she was betrayed and captured. 

After a brief trial, she and her officers were found guilty of all charges and sentenced to hang. As the rope broke her neck, she was surprised when time stopped, and a voice offered her a last wish. She cried out to Sekolah and wished that she and her crew be transformed into true devils of the sea so that they might continue her cruise of vengeance. Pleased, Sekolah granted this wish and Relana and her officers were transformed. They slew the guards around them, murdered the judge, butchered the crowd, and fled the port in a stolen ship. And thus, Relana is still a terror of the sea.
