This last arc is hilarious when you look at the m9′s tactics from an outside perspective, like they literally rolled up to Avantika in Her boat, after killing Her crew, and become pirates out of sheer audacity.

They go on 1 (one) shore mission where fjord actively tries to drown Avantika but plays it off as nothing, seduces and sleeps with her a couple times. They roll up into port for 1 (one) day, steal her evidence, start a fight, and get her killed by pirate king. 

Fjord is the only one with ANY experience on a ship

I would ABSOLUTELY believe beau when she says that this was an infiltration mission specifically against Avantika by an order of batman monks, because they pulled it off so well and with almost no casualties, while getting pretty much all the info they needed about the cloven orbs and stuff

But then you the viewer know that these events are the result of accidentally getting spotted trying to SPEAK to a messenger in a port city with no intentions at all, and they’ve been sailing by the seat of their pants the whole fucking time I love dnd
