(I'm not sure exactly what the primary mechanism of death is for a person immersed in boiling water, but it can't be fun.)In a D&D game, what sort of impact does the GM want it to have?  If instant-death is desired, you have it... but it would likely be more dramatic to have the ship start to fall apart beneath the characters as they rush around franticly trying to hold it together long enough to get to safety, the lower levels progressively flooding with boiling water and the conditions causing an escalating amount of non-lethal damage from the extreme heat and humidity.  While trying to fight off flying monsters intent on stopping their quest, and leaving them stranded on the Mysterious Isle of Doom™ with a broken pile of ex-ship.</blockquote>
