Na Bith Mo Riocht Tá!
H'Roosh will happily contribute to the provisioning and upkeep of the ship (being a lawful sort, as part owner he couldn't possibly let his gnome friend bear all of the burden!). Just let me know how much he owes.
Perhaps H'Roosh could take the title 'Ship's Pilot?' He can take some skill levels in 'Profession: Navigator' at his next level. Radoon has First Mate all sewn up, I think, given his extensive experience and advanced age, and Finn can be our Armsmaster. With such a limited crew, I think we'll all be taking watches/deck duties, so we don't really need a bosun. Does that cover everyone with a stake in the ship?

The CrestDancer
I kinda disagree about our need for a "bosun" (boatswain). Yeah, if everyone pulls his own weight always, things will go smoothly while we're aboard, but we won't always be aboard. Granted, Cap'n Swabby and the construct crew seem to do fine on their own, but we're all just pretty much figureheads, anyway, so Pilot H'Roosh suits me fine! I mean, Gnurl certainly has no qualifications to be an Admiral (except for his spiffy new uniform, that is), but he's very eager to "play one on tv," so to speak. You're free to contribute whatever you think is the right amount. For now, Gnurl is so excited about the CrestDancer that he has no problem shelling out whatever is needed, as long as he can afford it comfortably. But the CrestDancer is clearly and indisputably Party Property in which we all have a substantially equal ownership share (with the exception of Geoffrey, who has his own ship and can't be expected to contribute to the CrestDancer). It just happens to be Gnurl's favorite hobby, also, so he wants to be as hands-on as he can be. Plus, Cap'n Swabby is one of the few friends that the little booger has! Tell you what -- Gnurl will set up an account to hold party contributions for the CrestDancer (guess that also makes him the purser?) and it will be used for ship stuff, unless we all fall on hard times and need to take it back, in which case, it will be re-rendered unto the giver. Scotley, I'll get with you about this account soon.

Crest Dancer Account
Scotley,
Gnurl is just assuming that the CrestDancer has a (hopefully kinda large) safe and a secure area to store valuables securely. That is the case, isn't it? Well, Gnurl tells Cap'n Swabby that there are going to be contributions coming in for the upkeep of the ship, and we want them stored in the ship's safe. Cap'n Swabby needs to keep careful records of who contributes what (either in writing, in his memory, or, preferably in BOTH ways. And Gnurl plans to keep a duplicate set of books himself, too, just to be safe.)

Gnurl will appropriate the Captain's cabin and safe for himself. If there's plenty of room left over in the safe, H'Roosh is welcome to share the cabin with Gnurl and keep his stuff in that safe, too. We'll make sure that Cap'n Swabby knows that just our stuff goes in this safe and that no one but us is to have access. Comments, Mowgli?

H'Roosh doesn't mind sharing, so that's fine with me as long as the other owners have no complaints.
We should look to what we'll do with the ship after the curse is lifted. She'd likely make a good transport for VIPs or a specialty cargo trader, and crew sharing quarters would make more space for 'guest bunks' or cargo holds (or for weapons/ammo). She might also make a good courier ship.
Scotley, could we have a detailed description of the ship? Length, breadth, draw, number of cabins/holds/other spaces, masts, number of decks, etc?

I like the ideas of small but expensive specialty cargo and VIP passengers (who are willing to pay for the Limo of the Sea). And courier service would be good, too, except for one thing: when I think of courier service, the first thing that comes to mind is couriers used during wartime. We wouldn't want to go messing around in somebody else's war! Now a peacetime courier Gnurl could get behind!
