Cursed Imp

Notes

• The imp is an unassuming but extremely dangerous foe, as its passive ability  Caustic Retort deals massive retaliatory damage upon any attackers.
• Even though it is named Cursed Imp,  Remove Curse does not affect it.
• However, given its small stature, the imp can be easily shoved or thrown out of the ship into the water, where it will die immediately — presumably through drowning, as imps can usually recover from being shoved into chasms.
• Killing the imp cleanses the ship of its plague clouds, as well as curing any characters infected with  Sea Plague.
• It has no special drops.
• It always upcasts  Ray of Sickness at level 6, so it does 7d8 damage.
