[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5947149, member: 4936"] Tara keeps her face impassive during the gruesome display, but in the end she has to look away from the flayed corpse and so she watches the faces of the others instead. There's some comfort to be drawn from what she sees there...no one of the new 'hires' seems to be enjoying the show. She steels her stomach and looks back. She had to be strong. If she ever wanted this to work, she couldn't back down from something just because it was revolting. Weakness invited mutiny. Her gorge heaved, but she managed...barely...to keep her meager meal down. There was a difference between being strong, even ruthless, and this reveling in sheer cruelty. Loyalty commanded through fear was simpler, and worked when the captain lacked the skill and power to command loyalty by other means...but it was not the path Tara wanted to walk. It was a sign though, that she would have to tread carefully. She could easily be the next one to decorate the keel, if not. She needed to sound the crew out...find the ones who were not just beasts who knew how to sail, and who might, given a chance, support a change in the wind. (OOC Note - I'd like to keep my posted night time action, unless there's more to this event. If I understand correctly, this Cha bonus thing would add 2 to my previous roll for a result of 16...yay!)
