Sirens

Media:Sirens.webp Sirens as seen on the adventure map. An eerie wailing song emanates from the sirens perched upon the rocks. Many of your crew fall under its spell, and dive into the water where they drown. You are now wiser for the visit, and gain (...) experience. * * * As the sirens sing their eerie song, your small, determined army manages to overcome the urge to dive headlong into the sea. * * * You have your crew stop up their ears with wax before the sirens' eerie song has any chance of luring them to a watery grave.

Sirens is an adventure map location, that can only be found from the sea. When a hero visits Sirens, 30% (rounded up) of each stack in hero's army will dive under water and perish (one-creature stacks are not affected). However, the hero gains experience equal to the health of the lost troops (with bonuses of Learning secondary skill). A hero can only lose troops to Sirens once, no matter if there are more than one location where Sirens can be found. After the first visit to Sirens, the hero orders his troops to stop up their ears with wax, which prevents them from the effects of sirens' songs.

Bug: can be re-visited after a battle (fixed in Horn of the Abyss ).
