How to Defeat a Kraken

A guest post from author Christine Calhoun

Step one: Learn pirate kung fu. Your high acrobatics checks in aquatic settings will help you dodge the splinters of your ship as it crumbles into the ocean.

Step two: Harpoons. Lots of harpoons.

Step three: Purchase a Necronomicon at your local used bookstore. Used book stores are easy on your wallet and also help the local economy. And don’t worry about not finding a copy. It is a pretty common title and shows up in garage sales and abandoned cabins in the woods on the regular.

Step four: use sad Necronomicon to raise the dead, dead krakens to be exact. Your live cracken will suddenly have a zombie issue on its um…tentacles. It will have no time to worry with a puny human such as yourself.

Step five: Fashion yourself a life raft from the broken debris of your ship.

Step six: If you don’t know how to swim yet now would be a perfect time to learn. You are officially stranded at sea.
