Sea Scouts

Kingdoms of the Sun Sea Scout

A Sea Scout is basically a large raft equipped with a tent, compass, sextant, spyglass, signaling shield, candle, emergency supplies, and anchor that can be deployed anywhere in the ocean (where the anchor can secure it of course). They are provisioned with enough food and supplies to last a week. Careful rationing can enable a raft to support a person up to two weeks, but she will be incapable of performing most duties during the second week. During the Skull War these have begun to see increased use around the cities as a way to spot Siaka before she can make a strike.

Standard deployments keep them a mile apart form each other and up to three miles out to sea. Most of the city-states deploy 9 of these. The rafts around IronTooth, however, extend 10 miles out, stay spaced two miles apart, and are manned by people of the air in a formation of 25.
