What at first looks like a dark cloud in the water reveals itself as a swarm of hungry piranhas. They’ve scented the party’s food and they’re approaching fast!

Possible Solutions

Each adventurer decides for themselves how to avoid the swarm as part of a group check.

  • A Stealth or Survival check enables an adventurer to find a suitable place to hide from the swarm.
  • An Athletics check can outswim the swarm. Adventurers with a swim speed of 40 feet or more make this check with advantage .
  • A water vehicles check can also outpace the swarm. 

Potential Outcomes

Critical Failure. The piranhas overcome them. Each adventurer that fails takes 16 (4d8) piercing damage and loses 6 (2d4 + 1) Supply.

Failure. Each adventurer that fails loses 2 Supply and suffers a level of strife from the experience of being swarmed.

Success. The adventurers are safe from harm.

Critical Success. These big pirhanhas turn out to be edible. Each adventurer gains 1d4 Supply.
