The Mistake

The Mistake, formerly known as the Mist, is a ship formerly commanded by Captain Javeed Jawgrasp. The Mighty Nein stole the ship in Nicodranas and briefly commandeered it the ship upon killing Captain Jawgrasp. Fjord assumed the role of its captain under the moniker "Captain Tusktooth".

As The Mist, the ship served as a sister ship to the Squall-Eater. After Avantika's death, the Plank King gave Mighty Nein ownership of the Squall-Eater and The Mistake was abandoned in Darktow.

Background
The Mist was formerly captained by Captain Javeed Jawgrasp and was a sister ship to the Squall-Eater captained by Captain Avantika.

The Mighty Nein followed Marius LePual to the docks in Nicodranas. Their attempts to eavesdrop on the discussion between Marius and the crew of The Mist generally failed and caused more alarm. In the ensuing fight, the Mighty Nein killed more of the crew, with Yasha killing the captain (later revealed to be Javeed Jawgrasp).

The only surviving member of the fight was Gallan Westman, the ship's carpenter, who was attempting to burn the records of The Mist 's dealings.

Caduceus Clay healed Gallan Westman. He told them they were planning to leave soon and meet up with Avantika on an island. He was part of the way through burning the map to that island when they found him. Nott appointed Gallan first mate because no one other than him and Fjord know how to sail. The Mighty Nein took the ship back to Nicodranas and stocked up with one month's worth of supplies. They hired a crew, including Orly Skiffback as navigator.

Fjord took over as "Captain Tusktooth" when The Mistake set sail towards the Inkclaw Reef. On their first night at sea, harpies attacked the ship. The Mighty Nein defeated them before they did serious damage to the sails or carried off any of the crew.

On the morning of the third day, The Mistake reached the Inkclaw Reef. Fjord and Orly navigated through the reef, but the ship took hull damage. The ship began to take on water. Fjord closed the hole from the outside using the mattress from the captain's quarters while Gallan patched the hole with pieces of pulled apart barrels. The leak slowed to a manageable level, but cannot be fully repaired until the ship is docked somewhere. Caleb finished his casting of Leomund's Tiny Hut, a magical sphere that completely stops the water from entering the ship as long as Caleb stays inside the sphere.

The Mighty Nein left Bouldergut on board The Mistake with their crew and rowed to the Squall Eater to parlay with Captain Avantika.

The Mistake sailed to Darktow Isle alongside the Squall Eater.

The Plank King expelled the crew of The Mistake from The Revelry for stealing from a fellow member. As their reward for uncovering Avantika's plot against him, he did not kill them. Instead they were banished from Darktow Isle and given the Squall Eater. The entire crew moved to the Squall Eater and left immediately. The Mistake was abandoned at Darktow.

Trivia

 * Caleb claimed that "mist" is also the Zemnian word for "shit", and wanted to rechristen the ship as the "Shit" or the "Shittake" accordingly. In German (the real world counterpart of Zemnian) "Mist" does in fact translate to "dung" (as in "dungheap"), but is used similarly to saying "shit!!" in English if something goes wrong.
