On the deck of the doomed Strumpet, Zubak sways, struggling to bring his pistol-axes to bear on Zale, but failing. Drool trickles down the half-orc's chin, and he can barely stay standing. His tusked mouth moves angrily as he glares at the genasi, but is unable to form words.
The door to the captain's quarters bangs open, and out comes a peg-legged dwarf, with a narrow wooden box tucked under his arm, dragging an iron chest inlaid with silver. The thief startles when he sees Zubak, then chuckles upon realizing the Strumpet's first mate isn't quite himself. Still, he isn't taking any chances. Eyeing Zale warily, the dwarf stumps over to the port gunwale, then utters a command word as he heaves the wooden box overboard. The box unfolds into a small boat that splashes in the water. The dwarf then hoists the heavy chest with a rope and winch, and begins lowering it into the boat.
[ +- ] Folding Boat
This object appears as a wooden box that measures 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. It weighs 4 pounds and floats. It can be opened to store items inside. This item also has three Command words, each requiring you to use an action to speak it.
One Command Word causes the box to unfold into a boat 10 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet deep. The boat has one pair of oars, an anchor, a mast, and a lateen sail. The boat can hold up to four Medium creatures comfortably.
The second Command Word causes the box to unfold into a ship 24 feet long, 8 feet wide; and 6 feet deep. The ship has a deck, rowing seats, five sets of oars, a steering oar, an anchor, a deck cabin, and a mast with a square sail. The ship can hold fifteen Medium creatures comfortably.
When the box becomes a vessel, its weight becomes that of a normal vessel its size, and anything that was stored in the box remains in the boat.
The third Command Word causes the folding boat to fold back into a box, provided that no creatures are aboard. Any Objects in the vessel that can't fit inside the box remain outside the box as it folds. Any Objects in the vessel that can fit inside the box do so.
