Beautiful though it may be, it also sends a sharp signal to any ill-willed onlookers: There is cargo aboard! It is for this reason that Captain Hypostyle does not like to transport vehicles across the bay\u2026 This week on Perpetua: Aquatic Ambush! 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Kay - Clay Crewman [NMKAY] Typical Traits: obedient, learning, gullible Stats: DEX 10, INS 6, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Arm Club, Clay Toss Special Abilities: Construct, Self-Repair In-Game Description: A strange, humanoid figure seemingly made from red-brown clay. No facial features, fine details, or clothing.  The Klaye Pirates are a group you\u2019ll get used to fighting if you end up doing a lot of sea travel in the game. They\u2019re like the main humanoid enemy group there. And the Kays are the lowest rank Klayes, so you\u2019ll fight them the most. The good news is they\u2019re really straight forward, especially since they\u2019re weak to fire. They\u2019re strong and fast physical damage dealers, and they can self-heal in a pinch, but that\u2019s about it.  Starter Tip: Their \u201cself-repair\u201d heal is really annoying! If you have one in crisis, it\u2019s worth knocking it out! (That\u2019s a good tip in general too: You almost always want to tackle one enemy at a time, so that you can reduce the incoming damage you\u2019re taking quicker! Don\u2019t spread your damage around. Focus wins fights!) Kel - Stony Sailor [NMKEL] Typical Traits: bold, carefree, salty Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 Attacks: Clay Cutlass, Flint Flintlock Special Abilities: Counterslash, Self-Repair+ In-Game Description: A humanoid made from clay, with baked-in sailor's garb. If the Kays are the Klaye Pirates low level grunts, I guess the Kels are sort of their average workhorse. Their Flintlock attack can target two of your party members each round, and their counterslash makes it a pain to do melee damage to them. The good news is that they\u2019re weak to bolt damage, so blast em from above and watch them break into little pieces! Starter Tip: As constructs, they\u2019re immune to poison damage (and the poisoned status) and resistant to earth damage! Don\u2019t waste your time, just smash \u2018em! Klaw - Muddy Mate [NMKLW] Typical Traits: ??? Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Special Abilities: ??? In-Game Description: ??? I haven\u2019t actually fought one of these yet (so I haven\u2019t had the chance to do a study action on them), but one got added to the fight just before I escaped to Spillaway Peaks, so I saw the name. Anyone know what the deal is? Starter Tip: Kay, Kel, Klaw. What is up with these names?
