@PurpleIsGood: Ehm as far as I know Melynx only steal non-monster items as I deliberately once tried to let it steal a heavenly from me and it didn't. :/ And no I had no anti-theft. But if it's true, then ouch...

For the Jhen Moran. Time Up = fail if you don't deal enough damage. :/ Also, I hope you guys didn't spam ballista/cannons as that is just plain dumb. I've fought plenty of moran, both high and low rank versions, trust me, melee is the way to go. So I made up a rule that technically guarantees success as long as you don't give moran too many chances to attack the ship.
 * Shoot when you must, melee when you can.
