between one weapon and your Seastone. You perform the
ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a
short rest. The weapon and the Seastone must be within your
reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you
touch the weapon and Seastone forging the bond.
You can perform the same ritual to unbind your Seastone
from a weapon.
Urchin Strike
Once you have bonded a weapon to the Seastone, you can
imbue your Sneak Attacks with the chilling power of the
Guardian Sea. Whenever you deal Sneak Attack damage with
your Seastone-bonded weapon you can choose to deal an
additional 1d4 cold damage to the target.
The cold damage increases to 2d4 at level 9, 3d4 at level
13, and 4d4 at level 17.

you finish a long rest.

other skill of your choice.
Additionally, any time you succeed on a Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check, you gain advantage on your next attack
roll.

 Smuggler's Port Dwellers
The Smuggler's Port is a dangerous city, with smugglers, scoundrels, and pirates galore. These people all came to the port city to
escape the wrath of the mainland factions whose laws would have most of them in irons or hanging from a noose. At least thats
how it started, now entrepreneurs who see the value of piracy and running their own criminal enterprise have started popping up
among the populace. With them comes corruption and desire for control. The port city has no elected leaders, just several captains
claiming territory and enforcing their rules with iron fists. Keep your head on a swivel as you traverse this place, because your
back isn't the only thing you need to watch.
Prowling Cutthroat
Prowling Cutthroats are a staple throughout the Smuggler's Port, as common as a deck plank. As a whole, their morality extends
all the way to the gold of the coin you pay them to do your dirty work. Once contracted, these cutthroats won't stop until their
mission is complete, or die trying because they know the consequence of failure is worse than death. A cutthroat who fails their
contract is seen as less than trash among the folks of the port city, and most are either run out of town or shunned into leaving
voluntarily. This adds a level of desperation that makes them unrelenting and very dangerous because to them, failure is not an
option.
Razorscale Hunter
The Razorscale Hunter is an unknown quantity surrounded in rumor and mysticism. Is it a human or a fish? Or perhaps both, or
neither? The only thing we know for certain is that it never fails to capture its prey, dead or alive. Its determination and seemingly
unending endurance has carried it to victory far more times than not and it doesn't appear to be slowing down, even after decades
of being spotted in the Smuggler's Port. The more paranoid folks of the city wonder though, is it one being? Or is there an entire
army of the Razorscale lurking just beneath the surface?
Gigalodon
Gigalodons are a massive breed of shark found all around the waters of the Smuggler's Port. They can range in size from 40 to 80
ft and pack a wallop. Their dagger-sharp teeth pierce through hide and the hulls of ships with little effort. Many juvenile gigalodon
have taken down entire galleons by their lonesome with their powerful jaws and the strength and speed of their ramming attacks.
Thankfully gigalodon tend to hunt the larger prey down in the depths of the Guardian Sea, only coming to the warmer waters of
the port city occasionally. But when you hear the crow's nest squawking that "The gigs are coming!", you will see the fear and
panic that these apex predators have earned.
