"Found it." Robin announces to the captains. "It is just down there waiting, and doesn't look to have moved for a bit. Likely waiting until some change that would allow them to move onward."
“Aye…. Good work! Well let’s see here… time fer some little swimming methinks, unless we’ve gots a better idea.” Cass says.
(Reminder: Until Ceesh wakes up from his river-vacation hangover [he posts again], you're in charge.)

Cass says “well- who all is ready to do this? A dangerous mission to be sure. So eer’s me plan- ye be lettin me know if ye’ve gots a better one. We swim down there, those of us whot can swim either with magic or our natures, and we first trap the ship usin one o’ these here feather tokens- it won’t go anywhere’s fer a day or so. Then while we’re there- we sabatoge, maybe break in, and wreck havoc On the paralyzed ship! Who all is in? “
”I don’t have the natural ability or magic for deep sea diving. But what puzzles me is; how are they breathing down there? I find it hard to believe that the Crimson scum are fish people. Would it be possible to starve them for air and then freeze them from coming to the surface? Effectively suffocating them? Raise the ghost ship after they’re dead and commandeer it? I’ve been on a few whaling expeditions and have seen how puncturing the lung of one of those great beasts will force them to the surface. Maybe puncturing whatever kind of bubble they have would force them up.”
”Birdie” trails off in volume at the end of his stream of consciousness. He knows he’s speaking out of turn and that he’s not the brightest of the crew, but once he got started, he couldn’t stop.
Prepare any diving/water breathing gear you have, or figure out who can hold their breath for the longest, then figure out your plan of action.

(I assumed the attunement was just part of whatever long rest she had since she got it. I would expect her to be attuned by now, so let me know if I need to do something for that IC. Same goes for the dagger of warning.)
Robin Only:
As you attune to the dagger, you hear a faint whispering in the back of your mind. The voice seems to be talking about protecting you.
(Heads up, I'm not going to remember you have this dagger, please remind me when you are in a situation where the dagger would take effect.)
After attuning to the dagger, you turn to the grimoire. You flip through the pages, reading about ancient warlocks and mages, previous owners of the tome, who used it for acts of great magic and destruction. You feel a chill run down your spine as you read about a mage who was blown to pieces after he fumbled the casting of fireball using this book. This tome seems impartial, dishing out death to both its owner and its enemies. You must be very careful with this accursed book. It has great power for you to harness, but should you make a mistake while using it, you will be attacked with equal destruction.

Did the book come with any spells already in it?
(Robin only)
During your studies on the river ride, you learn the book has had many, many owners throughout the years. Initially, the book was written in an unfamiliar ancient text, but each consecutive owner has added their own notes and attachments. Going over the notes, you can decipher that the first spell in the book is an attack spell (Aganazzar's scorcher) invented exclusively to be used by the creator of the tome, an archmage named Aganazzar. By use of a faded diagram in the margin, you learn that the material component of the spell is in fact, the cover of the book itself!
If you'd ever like to try and figure out the meaning of some more spells during downtime, let me know.

(Cassandra has some Magic items to help- is there a spell of water breathing in that book? We need Tuna and Ceesh back for this raid! I’ll post Cass’ plan soon. Just been busy!)

Heck, if Tuna and Ceesh are "asleep," I say their magic items are now fair game to "borrow". (To be returned to their rightful owners if they decide to return, of course.)
(does this mean we're back down to 3 players :[ )

Tuna will wake up with a stretch and a huge teethy yawn. "What is this about a raid I hear? My nap has seemed to run for longer than I thought it would."
(Things have gotten back to normal for me for the most part and making repairs to my house from the storm. So I'm willing and able to rejoin. Thanks for keeping me around)
(Welcome back! Well i know Tuna can swim down there, and Cass has a cap of water breathing, but we need more water breathing, I think… any ideas? My crazy idea-Cass can use shape water to make a ball of ice filled with air, a mini sub, which we could bring some down in…)

"Let me get my gear." Robin says with a nod. She moves below deck and get into ehr armor and grabs the rest of her equipment.
Gianna's earholes perk up when she hears the words water and swimming.

Robin's armor gives her a swim speed, but she cannot hold her breath very long at all. Under water is not going to work good for her at all.

“Birdie” is willing to go. He just can’t breathe water or have a swim speed.
