Breakdancing (Luck vs. Skill): [1d6, >4 vs 3d6, >3] = 5, 2, 2, 2 | 1 Success vs Failure
Personal note: Y'all suck

Through some stroke of pure luck, those of the gang who sat out the dance off judged you the victor. While that means your attempt to find a dancing crew for your ship was successful, it is only because it turns out they are worse at dancing than you, who have never practiced... So, that's a bit of a catch-22... (+ Dancing [1/2 exp])

On the bright side, word of these things travels quickly and a few people are now confused into thinking you're a talented dancer. (+1 Network)

What now? Pick one.
   A: Find a crew
   B: Obtain maps and navigational tools
   C: Train
   D: Research the islands
   E: Other

C We need to improve our Brakedancing and other skills.

[Maximum Spin]

I mean, B should be the most trivial because of our background, so, yeah, get C out of the way first.
Perhaps breakdancing should be at most a side focus, however.

You spend the better part of a week training with the Lock Poppers, and over that time you see their combat skills improve, both on land and in drills run to simulate attacking an enemy ship. But more than that, they begin to fall into the routine of training, and as the week progresses you can tell they are getting more out of each session.

You also think you're figuring out how to lead them, though it's still a rough art. In your private time, you practice supplementing your knowledge of maps and stars with and understanding of currents, and how to get them to lead you home, as well as working on your runeseeing somewhat.

What now? I'll leave this open to suggestions, because I feel like right now the lists might be limiting. I'll give you individual options in situations that are more constrained.

The fact Theo is level 0 at dancing worries me, we should train on that especially while Shapeshifting.
This might sound boring but I the crew need to work on their specialized skills in the team.
