The Crimson Sister
The Crimson Sister is the legendary vessel of the adventuring group of the same name. Originally a regular sailing vessel with red sails, The Crimson Sister was upgraded as a gift by the Ouest Clan as a thank you to the group for breaking the curse that was slowly killing their Queen, Queen Amara D'Ouest.
The ship is coated in pure gold, the typical building material for the Ouest Clan, and flies crimson sails, making it very recognisable. It also contains a plane hoping mechanism and can be sailed beneath the waves.
On February 19th, 32 PT, the Crimson Sisters sailed the ship in the battle against the Kraken. Avris Ethelwood captained his ship to the last moment but when the battle came to an end it was clear that the Crimson Sister would not make it. He and all of his crew managed to make it to shore where they were able to find their way to the nearest town and then on back home to Saltmarsh.
After receiving their reward money from Queen Rosalia Greyhawk for defeating the Kraken, Avris paid to have The Crimson Sister rebuilt by the Ouest Clan. It cost 6,000 gold and took just over a year to build from the bottom up.
The ship has been to two planes other than the material. On the 4th of February, 32 PT, the ship was forceably shifted to the plane of eternal war, Acheron, due to divine intervention by Henry Becket, who had turned to Bane, God of War and brother of Kord. There, the majority of its crew save for Avris, Cordelia and Antoinette were captured. Luckily, even with only the three of them they were able to sail it slowly along the River Styx to where the rest of the crew were being held. After the successful rescue of the crew, Cordelia was able to use divine intervention to return the ship with its crew back home to the material.
On February 5th, Avris Ethelwood was summoned to Mount Celestia by Bahamut. Gathering the crew once more, they asked the help of The Gal Pals in Greyhawk who had access to a tuning fork for the plane. The group decided to join them on their trip, accompanyinging them to Mount Celestia. Finally, once their business had concluded, they used a tuning fork for the material to plane hop back home to Saltmarsh.

Plane Hoping
The Crimson Sister contains a plane shifting device that works using tuning forks. These tuning forks must be tuned to the plane the ship is going to and thus are incredibly rare.The ship has been to two planes other than the material.

Weapons & Armament
The ship contains 2 ballistae and 16 smaller canons which cover all side of the ship. As all of these are loading weapons, the must be manned during combat.
With many highly skilled spellcasters and fighters on board, the crew itself is very effective in combat.
