Fishing Anchor (Magic Anchor)

A fishing anchor functions as a seafaring anchor. However, once dropped in a sea or ocean, there is a 25% chance per use of attracting a sea serpent or sperm whale. If so, the creature swallows the anchor and attempts to leave. A lesser sea serpent can tow a vessel having 25 hull points or less; a greater sea serpent can tow a vessel having up to 75 hull points; and a sperm whale, a vessel up to 150 hull points. Towing speed is half normal swimming speed for the monster. If (lie creature hooked cannot tow the vessel, it surfaces and attacks. Once a creature swallows it, the anchor is no longer able to hoist itself, in this event its cable can be cut and the anchor lost, or a party can be sent underwater to deal with the monster and retrieve the anchor.
