We set up a night ambush for The Majestic Wind (the other ship we're going to be looting)
- We decide to use Water Walking and sneak aboard, to get the element of surprise
  - After some discussion, we come up with a plan:
    - Milhouse will sneak aboard, with Ell in Wildshape as some smaller, inconspicuous creature
    - They will go for the cannon, sue Reduce and Levitate to get it back to The Gaping Maw
    - Meanwhile, once they're aboard, the rest of us will go and start working on taking control of the ship
      - This way, if they catch us, we can act as a distraction
Milhouse and Ell sneak aboard, and the rest of us head over
- After they send word via animal messenger, we head over and board from the front of the ship
  - We climb up, and there's a guard right there
    - He manages to shout a warning before we can stop him
      - Combat begins
It turns out there are seasoned soldiers on this ship, it's not the easy prey we were told it would be
- It sounds like there are a lot of them below decks, we might have to call in others from the crew
  - One of them tries to command us, she says she is General Chuseong, and wants us to surrender
    - Says we are outmatched
      
      We disagree
      
      Fighting happens, General Chuseong gets blown overboard by Drex's spell
      
      A VERY giant, like supernaturally giant, shark eats her
      
      One of her crew jumps overboard, seemingly to try to save her
      
      - I have Crawn go fetch the crew
- We continue battling the soldiers
  - The crew shows up and we mop up
    - We manage to commandeer the ship intact
Loot:
- 15,000 gold
- 1,600 platinum
- Art:
  - Celestial Orb: A delicate glass orb filled with a swirling mist that mimics the night sky of Gimahn. The orb is encased in a slender silver frame with tiny, finely crafted figures of beasts chasing each other around its circumference. When shaken, the stars within align to show different constellations visible in Gimahn's sky.
  - Flame-Touched Statuette: This small statue is crafted from volcanic rock. The base of the statuette is rough, as if still bearing the marks of natural formation, but the figure itself is a meticulously detailed carving of a tiger with flames erupting from its stripes. It has tiny rubies for eyes that seem to glow with an inner fire.
  - Pendant of the Endless Song: A delicate pendant shaped like a musical note, crafted from white gold and inlaid with sapphire. The pendant hangs on a fine chain and is said to hum a haunting melody when worn by someone who truly appreciates music. This melody is faint, almost beyond the edge of hearing, but deeply soothing.
  - Sunstone Pendant: Crafted from a bright, translucent orange gem, this pendant catches light and seems to glow with an inner fire. It is set in a simple, elegant gold setting and hung on a fine gold chain.
  - Model of a building: A small, exquisitely detailed statue made of marble depicting a grand library. The statue features miniature columns and arches, with tiny books carved into the walls.
  - Relic of the First Forge: A small iron anvil, no larger than a fist, beautifully preserved and etched with ancient symbols of creation and craftsmanship. It comes with a certificate marking it as an archaeological find and a model of a forge used by a deity according to folklore.
- A fine cloak made of well conditioned supple leather in a shade of tawny brown. - Cloak of Invisibility
