The Dawn Raiders are the greatest cultural mixing pot in all of Valhalla. Techniques from disparate times or cultures are integrated together into something they never could have concocted alone. So, one enterprising raider wondered, what happens if you mix Torilian construct composition with the traditional elements of Earth's Far East? You get a wood elemental, of course. And what happens when you mix that wood elemental with the storage area that every ship needs?

When a Powderkeg Elemental is destroyed by wounds from an attack, inflict all excess wounds to one attacking figure.
BREACHING THROW SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Lob 8. Attack 3.
Instead of attacking normally with a non-small figure that is adjacent to a Powderkeg Elemental you control, it may use Breaching Throw. Destroy that Powderkeg Elemental, then choose a figure to attack within 4 spaces of the attacking figure. No clear line of sight is needed. Any figures adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by Breaching Throw. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately.

Barrel go BOOM! Whether you use them with other Elementals or with other Pirates, you have synergy options that will help these slow little blighters get into position, and bonding that can throw them around on a moment's notice. Kind of curious that Kurrok synergizes with Small Elementals, but we've never had any of those before, isn't it?
...And yes, it lacks the usual Construct immunities. Wood is organic.
