Brute Ram

The Brute Ram airship is the largest airship in the Skylands. She stays afloat by a massive balloon being held to the ship by its rigging. She has a large naval ram at the bow of the ship which is used to pierce the hull of an enemy vessel. The Brute Ram's huge hot-air balloon allows the vessel to travel at higher altitudes than any other airship, mostly because they use regular sails. But because of her size, she is slow-moving and hard to maneuver quickly.

She was originally built solely for combat, but was quickly decommissioned because of its balloon being an easy target, making it easy to down the vessel. Presently, she serves as a ferry ship, making use of her large passenger capacity and high altitude capabilities to travel from island to island, primarily doing short trips. Brute Ram is one of only a few ships that are capable of reaching every single island in the Skylands.

There is a hole at the rear of the balloon that can be opened and closed to force hot air backwards, propelling the ship surprisingly fast, albeit lowering its maximum altitude. This is only used in emergency situations.

Story
The player, hearing that the Brute Ram sometimes makes port at Skyport, travels there after leaving Exodus to try and get a lift to one of the highest and hard-to-get-to islands in the Skylands, Thesahex. Being one of the only known ships to be able to complete the journey, the player plans to use any means possible get a ride to the island.

Every time the player wishes to ride the ship, they must start the furnaces below deck.
