=== Sailing the [[Verdant Sea]] ===
When Tress is stowing away on the ''[[Oot's Dream]]'', Crow and Laggart attack it during a break in the [[seethe]], using the destructive cannonball to put a hole in the ''Oot’sOot's Dream’s'' hull.{{book ref|tress|10}} Tress escapes with [[Huck]], then walks across the spore sea to the ''Crow's Song'' before the seethe lets up. When Tress climbs on board the ship, Crow orders her thrown overboard, but she proves her worth scrubbing the deck and the order isn’t brought up again.{{book ref|tress|12}} Crow tries to leave one of the ''Oot’sOot's Dream’s'' crew alive to spread the word of her crime, but he dies anyway.{{book ref|tress|19}}
 
Tress ends up assigned to filling the cannons with spores when she discovers the false bottom in the forecannon and the cannonball inside. She quickly figures out that Laggart must have tried to sink the other ship.{{book ref|tress|17}} She has Huck spy on Crow and Laggart, and he confirms her theory, figuring out that Crow and Laggart want to force the crew to sail "dangerous seas".{{book ref|tress|19}} Tress intends to use this knowledge to escape the ship, since she is a surviving member of the ''Oot's Dream,'' but decides against escaping, instead opting to help the crew and become the ship's new sprouter.
