Tide Deacon
Medium aberration, lawful evil
Something down in the drowned chapel is still ordaining, and the tide deacon is its latest laying-on of hands. Part acolyte, part angler, it tends its flock of frightened waders with a barnacled mace and a drowned blessing that steadies the blood. Kill the deacon first, the old hands say. The flock scatters without its litany.
