We have decided to go after the Mithril shipment. We set sail for Puerto Castella to port and resupply before attempting to go after the shipment.
 
Puerto Castella is a pirate haven, but technically under the authority of Castella. Those who don't attack Castilian ships are welcome. As such we are keeping our dealings on the down low.

Mezrathyn played a game of darts while at the tavern
Captain Jo'lie had a conversation with Shivershanks which was, mostly friendly

Ligaya and Mez were extorted by a parrot that they wanted information from...
Mez used her Druid animal speech to talk to the Parrot who traded information for crackers
The passed out man who owns the parrot - He saw the "man with a sun in his eye" taken by inquisition in Vaticine City.

While the crew was settled in Jo'lie had a conversation with Shivershanks alone
Afterwards Shivershakes shouts for her crew and they leave.

Ith's Lizard folk clan are active around saltmarsh
The parrot wants a share of the loot to join the crew
---
We have made a plan to impersonate ourselves as a merchant ship and make port at Kugrum. While in port Mez is going to sabotage the hull of the war ship so that the bilge begins to fill during their voyage. Once the warship sinks or detours to the uncharted island we swoop in to take the mithril ship. If the war ship is beached but not sunk we may also be able to take the warship.

Lucielle used the seeing stone to find a secret on the maps
"Where the towering three watch the isle of beasts, over the valleys and through their creators, atop the bluff lies Crimson Claude and his prizes, surely one great treasure deserves another?" - Stormwing Map

Set sail that same day for Kugrum from Puerto Castella. Encountered a fog during the trip.
Safely made port at Kugrum.

Offered option of using Lucille's illusion to create ghostly seemings on the warship to lower their moral before they set sail.
