Common foe

Bilge Eel

Bilge Eel portrait

It lives in the standing bilgewater where the ship's old charge still leaks, and every point of mana you spend near it answers back through the water - a point of hurt for every point you spend. The same cold water it drags across you settles into your chest to come due later, all at once.

The whole bank comes due at once, straight through Guard, 2 turns after it was last applied. Nothing decays — the whole bank is paid at once. The wreck doesn't drown you today. It banks the water in your lungs and calls the whole debt due, all at once, two mornings from now..
