My New Favorite D&D Encounter

[@DungeonDad]

Thanks INTO THE AM for sponsoring this week's episode! Check them out right here: intotheam.com/DUNGEON Thanks for watching! What monster do you want to see covered next on the channel?

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

Well, if you know me I could say...The Monster from Champions RPG, but...well...

[@benthien22gaming17]

@Dungeon Dad day 4 of asking Dungeon Dad to cover the Dungeon Dragon from Pathfinder.

[@thelightningkin9161]

You think you could cover some of the rest of the nightshades? (From the same family as the nightwalker) would love to see some 5e adaptions of them

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

@@benthien22gaming17 Well, how special is the Dungeon Dragon beyond It's name?

[@AnthonyJohnson-nf4ue]

"Bottley harm" I love it

[@CoinPlant]

the incredible energy of this monster fits great into any campaign themed around an episode of antiques roadshow or storage wars

[@brettwood1351]

Or even random chests. Just imagine telling your player that no, the chest is definitly not a Mimic. Then having a bunch of ships in bottles that attack them inside.

[@SweatyDynamite]

I love the idea of tiny sentient ships in a bottle, but here me out. Actual ships captured in bottles. Full on Pirates of the Caribbean

[@cesarsandelis6379]

Full sized

[@derekstein6193]

​@@cesarsandelis6379Full-sized ships in bottles because a cloud giant likes to collect them. Fight, barter, or steal; good luck with that last one.

[@antigrav6004]

Full sized ships, shrunk down until the bottle gets broken. Yes, that is a pirate ship grenade.

[@garion046]

This is simply a matter of perspective. Maybe the ships are huge... or maybe the PCs are tiny...

[@badideagenerator2315]

​​​@@antigrav6004 a bottle containing a modified enlarge spell scroll and a tiny ship. When shattered, the scroll activates and the ship expands to full size. It could be called a "spellotov cocktail" and the general concept could be applied to other spells, such as fireball, thunderwave, colour spray, or stinking cloud.

[@17joren]

I’d like to think that their ballistas only deal 1 damage, like a sprite arrow, but they fired a barrage so your hit by 3-8 of them 😂

[@Funxboxrox27]

A wizard who created a living ship in a bottle to protect his antique shop from burglars. He moves the water spirit under his control to a new ship in a bottle whenever the last one breaks.

[@ultimor1183]

I already know what I'm gonna do. My evil pirate wizard (who I just made up now) will shrink the party and trap them in the ship in the bottle, and now they have to fight the "crew" which is just the various aspects of the water spirit.

[@Vender02]

My God, I love him. And during the fight, the group can see the giant wizard looking at them in amusement, knocking over the bottle or tapping it causing the ship to trumble, almost like an area effect.

[@blackhorse-wm6oc]

@@Vender02 They should persuade the sprite captain to help them with promises to help it become an admiral and to get it a really big hat, with big colorful feathers.

[@CraigMetalHead]

"Captain! There's an entire armada on the horizon! Look!" *points, hand collides with little ship* "... oh, they're just small..."

[@Magic__7]

I love the idea of a sea monster keeping the ship it sinks in little bottles

[@cole893]

Yeah, kind of like Blackbeard in the fourth pirates of the carribean

[@JackWinslow]

I don’t normally comment but, what if you built it in an old potion bottle? A little boat that has potion of storm giant strength doing knock-back, able to yeet anyone who grabs it. Be hilarious as heck. A Blood Elemental creepy version of this inside a potion of dragonbreath would be dope. Instead of a model ship it’s a model of a dragon turtle with a tiny red steam breath. You could even do this with a black pudding or something like that instead of a water spirit. A model kracken one that shoots ink that is just the darkness spell. So many fun and playful options.

[@DungeonDad]

I love these ideas so much.

[@tomkerruish2982]

Instead of relying on the action of water spirits, you could just have really old ones self-animate as tsukumogami.

[@brettwood1351]

Tsukumogami are a great source of just crazy monsters. Just ask Pokemon!

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

I love it!

[@zpiotroski]

Ok but I legit had a mini freakout seeing the google map centered on my home neighborhood XD Dad we might be near each other which is hilarious to me

[@DungeonDad]

If you're in Nova Scotia then we're definitely in the same province! That's very funny!

[@tumulterudition3228]

Wouldn’t it be a great idea to make them undead instead of constructs and have them be possed by the sea captain that made them?

[@DungeonDad]

That is a really neat idea!

[@wdyd_masterattwitch4956]

Or the crew?

[@Allantitan]

@@wdyd_masterattwitch4956why not both?

[@Skz1337]

I like that a lot more than some random water spirit

[@badgerchillsky535]

Maybe It’s an actual ship and it’s crew that went missing. It could be a legend that’s week known. This ship was filled with treasure when it disappeared, so now there’s tons of legends about the ship and it’s missing riches. People spend their life hunting for it. People claiming the treasure was buried one place or another, or is sunk of the coast of wherever. Turns out they were cursed, shrunk down and trapped in a magic bottle.

[@Chazder.MP3]

at the start of the video, i was wondering what stupid spirit would possess a model ship but now i know that they live to annoy people i respect them for it

[@emeraldcityelicitor2281]

Now how can you twist this into a Spacejammer in a Bottle?

[@Flasa]

A single player facing a bottled armada is the D&D version of feeling like King Kong during the skyscraper scene fighting the planes.

[@SmolShorkess]

I love the idea that there is just a massive scale ship which sometimes rocks up with its smaller buddies like a warlord Titan in warhammer.

[@j2minerblacksands881]

Honestly Ship should be an enemy type, not crewed by alive or undead, not by anything bound to it, just a ship that has a will of it's own and decides to do what it wants. (Is that technically a golem or other type of construct?) As for Plot Ideas: In the middle of a vast desert there is a oasis that is the only hope for travelers, and the water spirit that is there wants to leave so it askes the party for a Ship-In-The-Bottle to get them out and to another water source, but given that will end the oasis many of the travelers and nomadic people rely on the oasis they decide to chase after the "Greedy" party who have "Stolen" the "Sacred" water spirit.

[@Rockzilla1122]

Animated objects are typically elementals or constructs, depending on their nature

[@Ganpan14O]

​@@Rockzilla1122could also be several other types of they're possessed by some form of spirit of those creature types.

[@prophetzarquon]

Yeah, any ships able to take actions on their own, have the _Construct (Vehicle)_ tag (except the ones that are actually a Plant or something)

[@justinthompson6364]

I would consider 5e rules for sailing and crewing ships a slightly higher priority, though working on one would naturally help figure out the other.

[@prophetzarquon]

@@justinthompson6364 The version I'd written up without realizing Pathfinder already had one, treated it as an item (vehicle) listing, & ... _yeah,_ there's some logistics to work out, for sure. At least the Shattered Glass trait presented here, is much less broken (ha!) than the effects _I_ had come up with: Things going into the bottle would be shrunk to scale, & the ship's got a whole cargo hold, so if that bottle broke...

[@indiana47]

I like the idea of the bottled ships being actual ships that are shrunken down with the crew still aboard instead of a water elemental. The party could try and find a way to return the ship to its full size possibly taking it for themselves or just freeing the crew from the curse. Like Pirates of the Carribean 4.

[@ayrachalarsen4945]

Ships and bottles are fun. I changed it up a bit though, instead of a water spirit inhabiting the bottle it was actually the spirit of the captain. I had my table go around looking for these bottles to free the spirit of these captains in them, and they had to break the bottle to release the spirit. Get rid of a curse on an island. My friends had a blast. You're doing a great job of reminding us DM's that there are many monsters to play with. Thank you

I can't agree, you should've stuck withthe pirate voice the whole episode

[@TheMightyBattleSquid]

Mandatory suggestion for a swarmkeeper ranger with their swarm being made up of these.

[@yanaleigh]

I must do this.

[@CyColt]

A Swarmkeeper pirate captain with a personal collection of Ships in Bottles..... Each one made in the image of a ship that his own vessel has sent to the depths. The water spirits that inhabit his now Bottled Armada are actually the souls his crew, lost to the sea.

[@SerrahOnTheHunt]

Peggy's Cove? * Gasps in Haligonian *

[@TheZachAttack777]

The concept of this monster would make very cool flavor for a conjuration wizard PC who has the sailor or pirate background. Imagine walking around with a swarm of these guys. If you have a cool DM, you could even homebrew a high level feat to manifest your armada into full size ships. That would be amazing

[@anthonycalfa2048]

ship in a bottle made by a giant. upgrades to cr5 and cr 15 20 or 25

[@DungeonDad]

I love that idea

[@BenjaminRegen]

So creative!

[@leonardchurch9048]

I can only imagine a Mr. Burns "Hop in" situation

[@parleyeon7951]

Sounds super cool! I can imagine even a short plotline with it: A captain (Barbarian Berserker for stat purposes) gets his bottled ship possessed by a mischievous (NOT malicious) water spirit. Spirit starts to harass the captain, but due to his high charisma, he tells the ship something to the effect of "You're my ship, and you'll be doing MY orders!" and the spirit obeyed. Over the years, they developed a friendship and became almost inseparable. Fast forward to today. Captain gives the adventurers a quest: "Someone stole my bottled ship. It's very dear to me, so if you track the thief down and bring it back, I'll pay you handsomely." Now, imagine the faces of the players when their characters track the thief's lair, open a cabinet, find the ship, and then the said ship starts yelling at them that they'll never take it alive.

[@edmonblackmouth2743]

I like the idea of a big ship in a bottle. Nelson's Ship in a Bottle is like the size of a toddler. I can imagine a giant owning a life sized ship in a bottle that becomes one of these.

[@ziggyplayz8056]

I’ve been using a lot of the monsters featured on this channel recently! My players had some fun with a Chronotyrym and a Painspeaker. This one seems so unassuming, and it’s finding a spot in a magic shop. It’s been suppressed until the buyer leaves the shop, and then little ballista go pew… big fan!

[@DungeonDad]

Hell yeah that’s awesome. That’s also a very fun way to spring this on the players!

[@abysswalkermeta2632]

"Plus I added a few rules I think you're gonna like" My players hated that

[@HypercomboProduction]

I thought the Ship in the Bottle was a real monster in the series!

[@brettwood1351]

I do like these whimsical monsters. The Pink Dragon's been living rent free in my head since I watched that one. And after watching some of Mr. Rhexx's videos on notable dragons, I've been wondering what crazy thing a famous Ancient Pink Dragon would have. And then I realized. Turning into a toon form of course!

[@arcticdino1650]

Imagine it has some sort of magical charm that pulls you into the bottle and you end up having a battle on the high seas... in the middle of an antique shop

[@radlercycles5482]

I'm pretty sure this monster could also be used for airships as well as spelljammer ships, that is awesome! I could really imagine a complete encounter in spelljammer where a spirit of the astral sea uses a dead god's butt as the hideout for their pirating consortium. I sure there's some joke in there somewhere... Thanks for the awesome content and I hope you enjoy your day?

[@condorianova7562]

I have a one shot idea. In this one shot players are the tiny creatures in the "Ship in a bottle", and they are trying to escape from the giant that has trapped them and their ship in a bottle.

[@barrybend7189]

This can be a fun basis for a summonable player transport. Something that was originally from the outer planes but has decided to posses a ship in the bottle and is now either a Spelljammer or a regular living boat.

[@dylanbailey8464]

What an incredibly fun and whimsical monster. Personally I'd love to run a modified version of this monster where it's essentially powerless and exists mostly for flavor. Some pirate captains' nuisance parrot stand-in that pesters him constantly, but he can't bring himself to part with. Lots of comedic potential with these guys.

[@myrehmisk]

I was expecting this to be this whole encounter where the party breaks a bottled ship and the water spills out and there's this whole Jumanji/Alice in Wonderland sea of tears moment where there was waay too much water in the bottle and the ship spills out and starts growing and the only way to avoid drowning is to board the ship which drifts on the ocean for days until one night mists roll in and a fleet of ghostly pirate ships attacks the players and they win but a storm sends everything into the depths and they wake up on a beach shore with this huge glass wall and they can see the room where they found the ship but HUGE outside and somehow they get out and there's probably a chest of gold or something. That needs a lot of work but I'm using that.

[@bloodybladenum1920]

Last week I told my dm that my character makes ships in bottles I just sent him this video

[@Zer0Doxy]

I can't tell you guys enough that he has a haunted gramophone that plays his viewers wishes to him

[@chipman1589]

I was thinking of making a campaign with one location being a world with mostly oceans. Could maybe have a situation where the players make friends with a bottled ship and eventually have the water spirit inhabit a full sized ship? 🤷‍♂️

[@aaronpapke9763]

I have been trying to work on a desert theme campaign setting, I think that a kobold swashbuckler in service to a brown or copper Dragon who flies on a terribly restored dingy pirate ship that is being hoisted aloft by a bottled Armada would be an amazing encounter.

[@STS-qi1qy]

Ok, was not expecting a Peggy's Cove namedrop in this.

[@derekstein6193]

4:54-5:12 You just described the relationship between Blackbeard and the Queen Anne's Revenge from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Sooo.... neat.

[@Gamer_Dylan_6]

This is the perfect companion for the moon Rats. You could easily reflavor this monster as being a tiny DaVinci helicopter with a mounted toothpick launcher.

[@StygianNightmare]

This is easily one of the dopest monsters I've seen in a while!

[@BolackBudd]

Imagine you start a pirate themed campaign and then you come across wild giants. Anyone who’s seen this video can connect the dots there

[@ghrondindustries5136]

YES! Use the Wondrous Item "Folding Boat" as the basis for this, so you have a little flying model ship familiar that can transform into a. Full-size real boat!!!!

[@ghrondindustries5136]

For the ritual. The basis for the ritual when your party makes one

[@theyoutubeprowler]

My favorite part of your videos is always the publication history, so fun seeing how it all came together over the decades.

[@mistformsquirrel]

... I love this so much. Best monster, 10/10.

[@joshuazane3210]

I respect that you take every opportunity to break out your pirate hat. 👍

[@demetrinight5924]

I absolutely love the mischievous nature of the ship in a bottle as a monster.

[@KanuckStreams]

I love that I know INSTANTLY where you sourced the musical interludes from.

[@RisqueBisquet]

Kobolds with incredibly inflated egos will never not be funny. I would absolutely use the Kobold admiral idea. "Admiral! They're coming up starboard flank!" "I uhh..." "They're approaching from the left." "Y-yeah! I knew that! All hands get the shooty things!"

[@ElF0nz0]

I like the idea that in a swarm of armada there could be one that appears different. when the glass breaks it grows into the size of a ship and now its a swarm of armada and undead pirates

[@inyrmind]

An idea that comes to mind as a plot hook would be to have the captain of the ship the party is sailing on be killed by the ships in a bottle he had made. Treat it like a murder mystery and have one of the clues be that the assailant "obviously" smashed one of the bottles over the captain's head and fled the scene afterwards. You could have the bottles go around and try to sabotage the ship as the party continues their investigation to add a sense of urgency

[@attemptedunkindness3632]

Casual DnD Encounter Idea: DM: "On the shore of this ocean you discover a Songshell it's a shell that sings music thematically and presciently so long as it is not disturbed." (If moved or disturbed it clams up and goes silent, it must be left alone for 48 hours before it can sing again, if taken away from water it will die in a matter of minutes DC 20) Party: "Oh cool, what kind of music is it playing?" DM: "Boss Fight Music." **Lock eye with player, roll several feint checks behind DM screen, do nothing for three straight minutes to observe what party does**

[@InProductionStudios]

Well I think I'm stealing this for my steampunk campaign, except instead of boats, it's airships controlled by air elementals. This is an amazing creature, and I already love all the ideas I'm getting from this. Thanks for the video bud!

[@mohawkgunsmith7569]

This has given me a home brew idea for a ship in a bottle much like a folding boat

[@danielthemangrande]

i feel like the shattering glass effect should be fully controlled by the type of attack hitting it. bludgeon glass shatters completely. slashing the glass bottles can split it but not shatter it. piericng will shatter it but not completely. fire damage should melt the bottle onto the ship making the ship sturdier. lightning should do the same. acid should dissolve and not melt bottle to the ship. necrotic and radiant won't damage the bottle. force is the same as bludgeon. i think i'm missing some damage types. the glass also might act as a 1 time damage shield against especially weak hits on it.

[@readingking1421]

Oh gosh I love this one. This is my new favorite monster you’ve covered. If I ever start running campaigns these things are going to be everywhere. The plot hooks section was 100% gold.

[@Kadranos]

I once ran a short Pathfinder adventure in a Lich's lair. It was full of hauntings, a mansion upstairs and dungeon downstairs, all in its own pocket dimension. The party got to the end of the downstairs and the round room became a whirlpool (adding in some players from a parralel seafaring campaign) and being deposited in a room of the same shape with shelves covered in bottles with ships on them - one of them matching the haunted ship the second party had just been aboard. They were supposed to inspect and move on, but I had a surprise ready just in case. Someone smashed a bottle and the armada sprang into action and wiped the party in short order, which I immediately reset as an illusion a la Eternal Darkness. They were a bit more respectful and careful after that, lol.

[@JackOfHeartsRPG]

What a fun find! Thanks for the video and the download!

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

I love these videos so much. It's inspiring to see the cornucopia of monster ideas that people have come up witb over the years. Things like the bottled armada are just so fun!

[@tulliusexmisc2191]

@11:38 I didn't expect you to show me a picture of a kobold taking a leek.

[@vitordasilvavillasboas4819]

Very nice Video, as Always. A very interesting "construct" that i usualy play with is the HALF-GOLEM, from the templaes part of the Mosnter Manual II of D&D3.5. Keep up the good work!

[@loszhor]

It's adorable!~

[@leilaclarridge5807]

I like the idea of ships in bottles being used like bird houses to attract water spirits that want their own little boats to captain. These spirit possessed mini boats then follow the captain around as a sort of familiar that protects the ship and crew.

[@doctorteethomega]

They should totally be able to fire their corks like miniature cannons! I imagine them only being able to do it once until the tiny crew land and throw out a bunch of little ropes and grapples to re-secure the cork to make it ready to fire again. Such a fun visual.

[@Dyneamaeus]

Ok, that last bit has me positively inspired. Maybe there's a 'Bottle Ship' with ambitions of leading its own pirate fleet. With centuries of sailing know-how under its belt and an allied 'giant' to be its figurehead, the little construct commands ships to raid trade routes from the shadows.

[@Mozumin]

Well if this isn't the silliest Monster of the Week video I've ever watched lol

[@moosetasticbombastic1998]

These are really neat! I'm glad I found your channel. Keep highlighting little curiosities from D&D's past :)

[@lordk.gaimiz6881]

cute ^^ now i'm thinking of putting the astral dreadnaught's donjon ability into this creature, but instead of a cavern it's a patch of ocean with the ship and its elemental crew within, maybe it's dumb but i think it'd cool... it reminds me of a magic item i saw, that was essentialy a diorama of a city that could trap someone and make that someone the ruler of the micro city, it was neat ^^

[@g4manhere553]

I once had a large ship that had a ship in a bottle as an emergency backup ship. Toss the bottle into a body of water and say the command word and it permanently turns into a real ship. Much smaller than the original ship and with none of the magical enhancements ships in my setting often have, but enough for the survivors of a shipwreck to sail home.

[@MisterDiceGuy]

That supply chain joke caught me off guard. Well done.

[@DecimatedRanger]

My campaign is basically waterdeep in a Biodome, with a series of portals that lead to other Biodomes. One of those biomes is going to be a Spelljammer-esque astral plane, with floating islands in space. This seems like a cool way to get the party their own ship. Maybe using some shrinking magic to size down to the size of the ship as opposed to the ship getting larger (to prevent them from Sky-Pirating Waterdeep as easily) Thank you DungeonDad, very cool.

[@willturnbull4796]

Awesome monster and video. Please give them harpoon launchers with ropes could graple a PC, give them a save to avoid being knocked prone, and restrained like in star wars with the AT AT vs Snow speeders. If you got gunpowder in your setting you could beef up its balista with the much more naval broad side of canons that do more damage. A single ship could get multiattack that does more damage or the Aramada could do a full broadside. Get creative with weapons of fantasy ships like a Flame thrower for a burning hands attack and so on.

[@Attaxalotl]

I got an idea for a Yellow Dragon villain disguised as a legendary pirate, whenever a new ship joins his fleet he makes a magical ship in a bottle of it for his collection. The first phase of his fight has you fight him in human form, aided by all of his ships (and the crew of his actual ship,) The second phase has him drop the disguise and it's just your average Yellow Dragon fight from there.

[@MiningwithPudding]

Alternate idea: the water spirit find the sailors fascinating and floats around, getting in the way like a floating cat

[@Gadget67SD]

Why stop at land or sea, but not space? For example Spelljammer! That would be cool with space clowns or space pirates!

[@gmanbo]

Furiously writting notes. Hmmmm Bottles are more water geared. But the container is reasonable and having a bottle of ready emergency air around could be handy. Spell jammer and air issues could be fun. Air elementals instead. Chase the model around a tiny clear container. While tiny amobia men or tiny clockwork constructs run the ship. Beware when they broker peace.....

[@joshuawallen8112]

...I needed a gimmick for a Harbor run by an Undead. I now have one. The "Harbor Master" gathers materials from shipwrecks, crafts these things, and then binds the souls of the fallen crew to their new glass prison.

[@DungeonDad]

I love it!

[@Bofrab]

I’ve thought of an awesome idea. What if a captain has one of these pestering him, but he ends up locking it up. They then learn that there is a Water Spirit possessing the ship in a bottle, so they ask for the players to obtain it to help them with traversing the open seas, and they have to obtain it by shrinking to size tiny, and invading the bottled ship. So now instead of fighting a small ship, it’s now like your on an actual pirate ship fighting a full crew of pirates. I imagine they get the spirit by either killing the full crew, or to make it shorter say the water elemental’s residing as the captain, so either killing or taking the captain will cause them to release the bottle from their grasp and turn back to normal.

[@joshuabeatty7371]

This gave me a different idea just from the title alone, a haunted ship in a bottle that teleports anyone who touches it into a demi plane, imagine a ship at sea but it looks exactly like the ship on display.

[@WolfCry791]

I'm taking this idea and making a getaway item for a villain in my naval campaign. In addition to its normal abilities, the villain will also be able to have it grow into a full ship, crewed by water spirits they've bound to the item. They can drop the armada for the party to fight, and then toss out their main one for the getaway

[@animefan3794]

The most fun thing about this vid to me is that it was posted around the same time I finished watching the 4 PotC films via KZbin. . . . There is no 5th PotC film that has a plot that only works by contradicting previous lore like Jack trading something to Tia Dahlma for the compass.

[@baronvonbeagle9787]

Warhammer mentioned

[@prophetzarquon]

I literally just sat around creating a Ship In A Bottle & never had any clue there was a Pathfinder listing for one. I should have known. This is way better balanced than what I invented. Yay!

[@rafibausk7071]

Considering how much of a problem it was aboard those type of ships. I feel like this thing that should be vulnerable to Fire damage.

[@dandrakearts6324]

Okay, i really love silly ideas like those so i imediatelly had an idea... for a player character! The main character want to be a pirate captain, have an adventure on the seven seas, hunt monster and find treasures, but... they're poor and ships are expensive. One day, for some reason, he finds this possessed tiny ship in a bottle and they bond in friendship and respect. The little boat sees this giant as their captain on land, and the dream of both of them is to find a method, probably magickal, to turn the little bottled ship into a real life size, big ship so they can go to the seas together one day. Basically a bottled ship familiar idea.

[@yanaleigh]

I'm VERY excited to add this to my tropical island campaign. 🏝️

[@kumonoameai]

Just imagine what would happen if someone cast enlarge on a familiar companion ship in a bottle during a battle.

[@jpDELTA2000]

This is so perfect. In my world, the main nation is protected from attack by a magic barrier that fleets can't get past. The rival nation can sneak in a whole armada!!!

[@Ferretic]

Fathomless Warlock, Pact of the Chain. Their ship went down, they were rescued by some deep sea entity in exchange for their service. The Ship In A Bottle is their familiar, created by their patron to keep an eye on them and assist them.

[@zackwalters8797]

These would make an exceptional sea themed dragon horde. Maybe even make them magically shrunken ships and crews.

[@Daolnwood]

12:53 Now i need a flock of sky pirates who raid settlements from the backs of giant birds, each one accompanied by a tiny ship companion

[@jessecreegan9451]

My immigration immediately thought of submarine combat aspect of ship encounters. Imagine being in ship combat and being able to launch a couple of ship in a bottle in order to cause damage subsurface.

[@luukbudel618]

a potential little rule you could apply is that the quality and size of the ship and the bottle it resides in determine how strong it is. imagine someone magicking a giant ship in a bottle and having that be posessed. it would certainly hurt a lot more.

[@manark1234]

I literally squee'd with joy when I heard the treasure trove cove theme come on.

[@badgerchillsky535]

I’m imagining the estate of a wealthy pirate captain. They collect these ships and there’s an entire room filled with them.

[@gmradio2436]

What was the quote from the book? '"Captains, your Admiral calls for your aid." And then the bottles all around the office rose and began to sail twords us.' Something like that.
