In hindsight, it was a curse to find 5 Godbuster parts in quick succession.

GV Day 2937 [5/25/2018]
After thoroughly searching the island the crew came back with a treasure bag so full it took a dozen men to carry. They reached the ship and threw the bag on the deck, the contents overflowing onto the weathered teak. Coins. It was full of coins. Thousands of them in fact. After hoisting the sails we turned our attention to port. Word came down from the crow’s nest there was an enemy ship circling the port. Unsure if it was a ghost ship or an industrious captain hoping to pillage our treasure, I psurveyed the crew. Sprits were high, stores were stocked. We sailed east into the uncharted quadrant, hoping to still find an elusive Manimal.
It wasn’t long before we realized our mistake had been my own hubris. To find a full treasure and continue on away from port had been a mistake, we should’ve turned back and risked the other ship. For what we found was a savage two-name beastie, surrounded by reefs on one side, another beastie on the clear side. The ark had been battered and beaten on our voyage and we maneuvered to face one at a time, but there simply wasn’t room. The lesser of the beasties went down surprisingly easily, but the damage had been done. We had to flee.
With the second beast out of the way, we were able to turn the ship and run. The crew immediately took to repairing the ark before turning to face the battle again. The crew performed heroically, defeating the beast. As we peered over the side to see what booty she held, a gasp could be heard for miles. It was another bag of coins! As full as the first, the crew hoisted it over the gunwale and added it to the already heaping pile of coins we had collected.
Weighed down with loot, Mr. Tanwey checked our stores and determined we had enough to get back to port. Turning quickly, we followed the cleared path we had made on our voyage out. Everything had gone our way this sail, the God had looked upon us favorably. Or so I thought. From the starboard side came a great crash; a roaming beastie had its sights on our already limping ship! We turned quickly, expending valuable energy to stay one step ahead of the beast, staving off the fight. It was a good plan until we ran upon an island and were stopped dead in our tracks, letting the roamer catch up and fight.
It wasn’t pretty, but we somehow managed to survive. Only 4% of the ark was left in workable condition, but 4% was enough to limp to the edge of oblivion and back to Godville.
Following our sail, I made my way to the guildhall and heard tales of savings dungeons in favor that morning. My pockets full of 40,000 coins, I threw caution to the wind and descended into the darkness, matching four other brave souls. Or two other brave souls, as it turned out; two of the allies were killed in quick order, which was OK by us, as we were able to divide their share of the loot fairly. All told, I deposited 65,000 into the bank that morning. I think I’ll take the rest of the day off to recover. At least until the crew gets finished repairing the ark. They tell me it will be ready in about 11 hours now.
