Useful Info
Merfolk are the nimble, amphibious humanoids who defend the Shoals from interlopers. They are only lightly armoured, but many carry decent polearms, and some even carry throwing nets or javelins. Be careful not to face them in the water, as they gain combat bonuses when in their own element.
Merfolk have different professions, granting them unique powers.
Tips & Tricks
The real danger with merfolk is that the Shoals are completely wide open. If you make too much noise, you can draw a merfolk army on you, not to mention the other monstrous threats in the area. Without a way to fly or swim, it's entirely possible to get pinned down while splashing around helplessly in shallow water.
