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.

Appearance
The Mistake was about 50 feet long with a single big sail and was made for speed.

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.

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.
