The Quacken's Revenge

Once the crowning ship of the fleet, the Quacken’s Revenge had a long and respectable history, and it was one of the most beloved vessels in the isle.

History
The Quacken’s Revenge was born in the wake of her predecessor’s destruction. Many sobering lessons were learned from the sinking of the Wrath, and those lessons were all put into practice on the design of this vessel. The pirates of Puerto Dorado were saddened and outraged at the loss of the longest-serving ship in the Fleet, and the Isle pooled all the gold and goods it had on hand, determined to replace her with a worthy vessel that would not be so easily defeated when it sought justice.

With a more-than-small fortune amassed, Captain Camz and his crew set out on a long voyage, aboard the merchant brig operated by Naargo, the Wandering Merchant, in order to acquire materials of the highest quality with which to construct the newest vessel of the Fleet. Naargo led them to the finest purveyors of wood and precious metals with whom he had done business, and once they had collected everything, they made a long, slow, laborious return to the Isle, going by dark routes and smuggler’s lanes in order to avoid the British Navy, becoming only more wrathful at the need for such tiptoeing.

At last returning to the Isle unscathed, they set to work immediately, and the Isle’s citizen’s all lent their aid as they could. The Shipyards were a-bustle day and night with activity for many long weeks as Puerto Dorado’s craftsmen poured their full skill into assembling their latest and greatest endeavor, aided by the genius of the Isle’s scholars and the arcane supplements of those skallywags specially blessed by Davy Jones and the magicks of the Isle.

When she was at last launched into the bay, she came down into the water with a terrible roar and shudder, as if she would break apart before she ever had a chance to sail. But the craft of the Isle’s citizens proved itself mighty indeed, and she righted herself and was summarily dubbed the Quacken’s Revenge. A magnificent ship, of gargantuan proportions, shining in the sun with gold and emerald trim that accentuated the supple woods of her hull and decks, which themselves glowed and hummed with the enchantments laid upon them.

Upon her christening, a roar and shudder of equal proportion was heard and felt yet again across the whole of Puerto Dorado, as the Quacken emerged from his long healing in his cave, and signaled his approval by taking up residence in the massive compartment built into the vessel just for him, which hung below the surface like the unseen portion of an iceberg.

And now she sails, the Quacken along for the ride below, eager to visit her vengeance on the fleet that had so damaged her crew and mascot. The new weapon of the British Navy is surely doomed when they find it, the pirates eager for redress, and the Quacken himself focused and driven, ready for a rematch with the only thing in existence, besides the Lord of the Deep, to have bested him.

Appearance
A sight to behold, this gargantuan beast slowly sails the waters around the isle, ready to defend against any foreign invasion. It’s simple, yet homely bare wood finish, accentuated by some of the most intricate golden and emerald green designs crafted by the best craftsmen on the isle, truly display the power and presence of the crowning ship of Puerto Dorado. It’s figurehead, a massive golden skull with an emerald on the front, morphing into the body of a kraken, wrapping around the hull, barely scratches the surface on the greatness of this behemoth.

Abilities
The huge chamber in the lower deck is watertight, allowing it to open for the Quacken and act as a moving home for the beast, which he can enter and exit from beneath at will.
