Keratia: Story of the Surf, Tales of the Deep

Come to think of it, a ship made entirely of metal probably isn't the best idea in a world where the spell Heat Metal is a thing.

Keratia: Story of the Surf, Tales of the Deep

Out of curiosity, do metal ships exist in Keratia or has the naval technology of the world only advanced as far as wooden ships?

The Greatest House ~ A Crusader Kings style dynastic roleplay

If one were to look at a map of my fief, they'd see that it's 25% plains, 25% hills, 20% forests, and 30% BANDIT ATTACK! The great house ruling the fief is less a great house and more a vicious clan of bandits that took over the fief and maintained their hold on the land through a combination of killing anyone who tried to throw them out, keeping their banditry mostly out of the rest of the kingdom (mostly), and by doing a better job of keeping the troubles of the Disputed Lands from spreading into the kingdom than the previous management did.

Talogan raised an eyebrow when he was informed of of the large fleet that was approaching. This made Talogan feel rather uneasy, as large approaching fleets always tended to make him feel. This time though, Talogan couldn't set course for the horizon and order Nyx to throw a gust into the sails. Not while his off his ship and his crew was separated. "How far away is the fleet?" Talogan asked. Once Nyx had given her answer, Talogan spoke again. "Keep Nox in the air." Talogan said. "If you can start to make out the emblems, inform me immediately." Once he was back in Red Shard, Talogan would lead the way back to the Kraken.

“We’ll definitely need holy water.” Hurrik said. “Whether for the banshee or drowned, holy water will keep them down.”
“The drowned will go down like any other zombie will, but a banshee isn’t as affected by mortal weapons." Nyx said as she glanced towards Talogan's blade. "And I’m not sure if my own spells will be entirely effective, nor will it be a good idea to rely solely on my magic to put the monster down.”
"Getting our hands on some holy water would certainly be a good move." Talogan said with a nod of agreement, a small smile playing across is lips as pleasant thoughts of ransacking a coastal temple drifted through his mind. "And I'm sure those silver arrows we plundered from those elven merchants would be effective against the banshee as well."
“Aye captain, why don’t we go with Hurrik’s first plan?" Hector said as he regained control of his nerves. "Maybe smash up the boat a bit, give that ghost less cover to work with. I-I don’t know much about banshees but ghosts like them don’t like sunlight right? We attack in the day, knock some holes in the ship for light, ought to keep her at bay.”
"A good idea, Mr. Hector." Talogan replied. "And one that will certainly be used in the assault. Though we should find something other than oil flasks to make holes in the wreck, lest we risk burning down the entire ship and any plunder that lies therein." Talogan turned away from the wreck then, and looked to the others. "Unless any of you feel that there is more to be done here, I think it's time to return to Red Shard." Talogan said. "We have much to do."

Could a banshee's resistances be bypassed by silver weapons?

Is acquiring a ballista any easier than acquiring a cannon?

Alright then. Another thing, does the Kraken have any throwable weapons in its armory other than the oil flasks that could put holes in the shipwreck without setting it on fire? Also, how far away from the ship are those rocks that Nyx mentioned would be a safe place against the drowned?

Quick question, is Johnathon still with the group? Talogan brought him along as well but you've made no mention of him for a while now.
