TESTED WITH: Logan Lvl 40+ Fighter/COT/WM, Coriah Lvl 40+ Rogue/Assassin/Fighter

WHAT WORKS WELL: About everything equally.

NOTES:

These areas contain a few different monsters.

--Grand Stinger Mage (CR 25), they cast earthquake and has 15 physical resistance to slashing. --Water Pirates (CR 36), do slashing and cold damage, didn't have any noted resistances, and hit 50AC about 10% of the time. --Singing Pirates (CR 31), Cast Sound Blast and other mind spells. --Pirate Wizards (CR 40), cast web, and fireballs.

-- Captain Maity (61) can be found in the main Waterport area in the SW corner. He drops a Heavy Flail: +2 Enhancement, 1d6 Elec, 1d4 Sonic. -- Captain R. Rrr (34) is in the North Waterport map, in the Middle South region, and drops a Helm with +4 AC, IMM to mind, and +1 Regen.

The most noteworthy thing about these areas are the traps. First off there are LOTS of them. A 31 Search skill while actively searching wasn't able to detect them, so unless you see red EVERYWHERE, you would do well to cast Find Traps about every 20 paces. If you don't disarm these traps you will be bothered by a number of different effects ranging from mind spells to arrow attacks.

There are also 2 other traps that are undetectable and nondisarmable. One removes your armour, helm and weapons and puts them back in your inventory, and the other is instant death trap with no save rolls made.

TACTICS:

As far as the "instant death trap". A few ideas... First, Don't travel alone. Second try to follow each others footsteps about 5 paces apart from one another. Third suggestion would be to Summon a familiar and have him scout ahead for you so you can find the boundaries of this trap.

SIDENOTE SUGGESTION: Cpt. Maity should also drop a T-Shirt that reads "I survived the traps in Waterport"
