Nebulous
Legend
I'll just throw this out there, it was a magic item I used in 2e that a pirate captain had. The knot of winds. It was a knotted rope that could be undone one at a time if a ship was stuck at sea with nothing in the sails. In my scenario though the PCs were kicking his ass and his cronies on land, and the captain rips the whole knotted rope down the line and it unleashes a typhoon force wind in the middle of the fight.
