This vessel at first appears to be a Gargantuan sea monster 230 feet long by 30 feet in height and width, its body covered in hard reflective scales. Along the top there is a hidden catch, which can be found with a successful DC 23 Intelligence (Investigation) check. Releasing the catch unlocks a hatch revealing a cylinder wide enough for a Medium creature to crawl inside. The _Nautilus_ is a Gargantuan object with the following statistics:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Armor Class:** 25
|
|||
|
|
**Hit Points:** 400 (damage threshold 20)
|
|||
|
|
**Speed** swim 200 ft. (can turn a maximum of 15 degrees in a round)
|
|||
|
|
**Damage Immunities** poison, psychic
|
|||
|
|
**Crew Capacity** 25; **Passenger Capacity** 600
|
|||
|
|
**Travel Pace** 58 miles per hour (460 miles per day)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To be used as a vehicle, the _Nautilus_ requires one pilot at the helm. While the hatch is closed, the compartment is airtight and watertight.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The steel submarine holds enough air for 15,000 hours of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside (at most 625 for 24 hours). There are 2 decks of interior compartments, most of which are 6 feet high. Interior doors are airtight, have AC 20 and 50 hit points, and can be bypassed with DC 18 Dexterity (thieves’ tools) checks or DC 25 Strength checks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The _Nautilus_ floats on water. It can also go underwater to a depth of 9,000 feet. Below that, the vehicle takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage per minute from pressure.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A creature at the helm can use an action to pilot the _Nautilus_ by making a DC 18 Intelligence (vehicle \[water\]) check, with disadvantage if there are no other creatures controlling the ballasts, hydraulics, and sensors (each an action), or with _advantage_ if each position has a creature helping. On a success, the pilot can double the effects of any acceleration, deceleration, or turning they make with the _Nautilus_ on their turn. In addition, the pilot can send the submarine careening into a creature or object, making an attack roll as usual.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
_**Prow.** Melee Weapon Attack:_ +12 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. _Hit:_ 34 (8d6+6) piercing damage. On a natural 1, the Nautilus takes 34 (8d6+6) bludgeoning damage.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Any creature in the command room can pull a lever to activate its function, but the _Nautilus_ only responds to the first 8 levers pulled in a round, and a lever only performs a function once per round. While traveling forward the lever to travel backwards does not function, and while traveling backward the level to travel forwards does not function. After each use, a lever goes back to its neutral position.
