 * misc=
 * Your ship has several pieces of equipment: two ballistas, two magefire cannon controls and a helm. If they take too much damage, they will disable. You can revive them again if you use them - though this will take a full minute and they will revive with 0% HP.
 * You can use your ship's equipment to blast the pirate ships out of the sky.
 * If your helm or engine is disabled, your ship stops. You will need to repair it to continue the quest.
 * You can talk to each crew member and tell him where to go and what duty to perform (guard, repair, or man a station).
 * Shortly after you start your journey, you will be attacked by several pirate ships, one at a time, until the timer gets close the the 3 minute remaining mark (at which point a much larger ship will arrive, possibly giving you two ships to fend off at once). Each ship will first bombard you for a time and then attach to your ship with grappling hooks and lines that send mobs to your ship. Both the mobs and the bombardment can kill crew and destroy your equipment, possibly causing your ship to stop. The mobs can also enter your cargo hold and loot your end chests!
 * If your engine or helm gets destroyed (causing your ship to stop moving), the enemy ship will move much closer to board from the side. You can now enter the enemy ship engine room and kill the fire elemental there, causing the ship to crash after a short while, killing everyone who is not back on the Banshee.
 * The first pirate ship is always nameless. Once it is destroyed, named ships start arriving. It takes approximately 25 seconds from the destruction of the previous ship for the next one to arrive. If your helm or engine is disabled, no new ships will arrive until you repair it and you start moving again.
 * After the time remaining gets to about 3 minutes left (this has been observed to happen at times from 3:30 down to 2:40), a very large ship will arrive on the scene. If either your helm or your engine gets disabled while the large ship is on the scene, it will banish your engine elemental and board you from behind. (It is possible to defend against this ship until the timer runs out - on Epic Normal and Epic Casual at least - allowing you to end the quest without needing to board this ship and destroy it. The following points assume this ship has stopped you and banished your elemental).
 * Fight your way to the bridge of the ship and attack the red-named Commodore Tew. At low HP, he will teleport away. Use the bridge control to gain access to the enemy cannon bay.
 * Enter the cannon bay and fight the captain again. Throughout the fight, he will periodically enable a nearby cannon - make sure you do not get overwhelmed by cannons. Cannons can be converted to your side with successful Search and Disable Device checks. At low HP, Tew will again teleport away. Use the cannon control to gain access to the enemy engine room.
 * Enter the engine room and clear the first room. Fight the captain again and kill him this time. The narrow passage contains a deadly trap that can be disabled for a couple of seconds by pulling all four levers on the pillars. Kill the engine elemental, loot the elemental container, pull the 4 levers on the engine side to disable the trap again, and sprint back to the Banshee as the enemy ship will crash (it will start to crash once you pick up the elemental container).
 * Enter your own engine room to repair your engine. After you arrive at Stormreach, enter your cargo hold and talk to Cydonie to complete the quest.
