20473, Nightgaunts going underwater.
Posted by Gaunted on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I believe they are not supposed to be able to go underwater. If this is not a bug that's fine too, maybe I tried to be too clever for my own good.

dOn the Aryth Ocean
As you sail across this vast body of water, the wind seems to blow from no
particular direction making your navigational skills become distorted. The
crystal clear waves move with such a grace that you can never predict their
next move. The ocean is endless, extending in all directions.


A smiling female cloud giant is here.
You flee from combat!

You steel your resolve and prepare to venture beneath the water's surface.
In the Aryth Ocean
As you make your way through the ocean, the swirling currents make navigating
quite difficult and distorted. The warm, crystal clear water grows darker
below where light can not penetrate. You can see the surface not far above
you. The ocean is endless, extending in all directions.

A Hidden Pier
This small pier is made from darkened wood, making it all but invisible
at night. Black ropes tie to posts to allow ships to dock. The pier itself
is encased in an iron frame with heavy black canvas stretched over it, hiding
anything that goes on from prying eyes. Various crates of miscellaneous cargo
are here, waiting to be picked up and transported. A pattern of mosaic tiles
has been inlaid in the floor of this pier, oddly forming the shape of what
looks like a conjuring circle.

Nightgaunts don't require air to do their thing. They can't initially spot you underwater, but if you flee that way they can track you. Specifically called out in the design code.
