Diplomacy is only a class skill for Paladins, rogues and clerics, I think. Draeca is full up on diplomacy ranks and has a good charisma.   You can be certain that Orena will not see it this way. Should she even bother to respond to such a characterization of her policies <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />, she would observe that it was properly garrisoned as the hulk all thought it to be. Now that it is known to be operational, it will be garrisoned accordingly.  Draeca will be happy to present the party's plan to Orena, should you select her as the spokesperson. However, Draeca does not believe it to be a successful argument at present. The Duchess will likely recognize that the fortress will make her a target but against that Draeca notes: 1) She will likely believe that she can garrison it at least as well as the party can. You shouldn't take the current garrison as indication of her A-team. Clearly, Mithguard was a backwater until now. While Severus isn't too impressive, Brytan isn't too shabby and the duchess could afford to put him there. 2) The flying fortress is of immense political value. It will make Orena a major player, not to mention providing her and her family with a refugee and a way to leave Eidos should Mottul prove successful. You shouldn't expect her to hand it over without good reason. 3) You should expect the Duchess to use force to seize the rod and fortress if necessary. It is what any archon would have done (except for the one honorable one, Braugh), and like US Senators who all see themselves as President stature, every Duke and Duchess sees themselves as the next Archon. See next post for some information that will add some other avenues of exploration. Marc</blockquote>
