(her accent however has become more cultured if anything, and she has womanfully avoided saying "Arrr" at any point....) She makes sure that the conversation is held in an area too noisy for easy eavesdropping, but does not request a secluded table or anything similar that would draw attention to the secretive nature of the conversation. If anything, she woud like this to look like a casual discussion between crews of differing ships, probably not unusual in these parts. She avoids refering to their quarry by name and uses adaptations of their ships names as well."Well, my basic thought is this - our quarry provides goods to people we can impersonate. A few of us can go the man, or try to arrange for him to come to us, and make a common bargain. But I want to try to convince him to a more uncommon bargain as well: cooperation between the two ships. If he is willing to at least consider it, it could go one of two ways. We might be able to plant one or more of ourselves on his ship for some period of time and learn where he docks and what he does. With luck we would complete at least the lesser part of our assignment. We also might be able to convince him of a trial cooperation - His ship and the Fury attacking a vessel at sea to show how we could work together. We would need some way of sending swift messages between the two ships; I'm going to look into aquiring some minor magical aids for that purpose. We would either arrange to attack the Gaggle, or have the Gaggle join the battle with whatever ship he chose to attack. When the Fury changed sides we would have two or three ships to his one."She looks around the group, open to suggestions, tweaks, or even flat out rejection.  (ooc: scrolls of both animal messenger and wispering wind would be possibilities for this plan, and animal messenger is on the ranger list as well as the bard, but it would require a caster level check. A feather token: bird would do the trick without a roll but is more expensive. Wands of the two spells don't seem to be standard, though one would think items of this nature would be in large demand in a port city. On a pure metagaming stance I was hoping to level before we actually took on the devil of the sea, but going out on an orc smashing trip so Katherine will have a better bluff and diplomacy score seems just WRONG!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />    <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  )</blockquote>
