And another question about The Mercenaries novella to @TheEdVerse . The floating dancing skeleton monsters the pirate ship used for bombarding the opponent ship – what are then? I searched for them through monster manuals and dragon magazines and nada They are "bone balls," devised by then-TSR Creative Manager Jim Ward for Spelljammer play. I loved them and put them into that book (which I wrote in an afternoon, BTW).#Realmslore
