Day 1 - The Smuggler Cove

---

The Smuggler Cove

A brand-new dungeon type carved into rugged seaside cliffs and shanty town hideouts. This treacherous setting introduces two hostile factions, each with unique abilities and tactics.

• Seaside Setting: Explore windswept cliffs, weathered docks, and ramshackle hideouts teeming with danger.
  
• Faction Variety: Face off against cutthroat pirates and the drowned dead, each bringing unique abilities and unpredictable combat styles.
  
• Deadly Foes: Confront notorious captains and giant leviathans to uncover the cove’s greatest spoils.
  

Pirates

Rowdy and unpredictable, Pirates fight dirty and use grog to boost their strength in the heat of battle. Skilled adventurers can snatch that grog away and turn it against them.

• Pirate Deckhand: Reckless cutlass-wielders who rush into battle without regard for their lives.
  
• Pirate Brigand: Seasoned fighters with shield and blade, capable of blocking your attacks with ease.
• Pirate Harpooner: Marksmen that hurl deadly harpoons from a distance.
• Pirate Officer: A cunning commander who blinds foes with concussion bombs, creating chaos mid-fight.
• Pirate Captain: A powerful boss who hurls grog to empower nearby allies, turning skirmishes into dangerous brawls.

Drowned

Once sailors, now cursed by the sea. These undead rise with glowing eyes and spread corruption even in death, leaving behind poisoned seawater. This hazard lingers on the battlefield, slowing movement and dealing damage over time.

• Drowned Sailor: Twisted husks wielding corroded weapons in relentless melee attacks.
  
• Drowned Mariner: Defenders with shield and sword who push forward like the tide itself.
• Drowned Gunner: Harpoon throwers that pierce from a distance with uncanny accuracy.
• Drowned Mate: A cursed drowned capable of casting sea-rot, draining health with disease damage.
• Drowned Leviathan: A terrifying boss who sacrifices nearby allies to empower himself with unstoppable strength.
