After that magic trick he performed just prior to the recent battle with the seawolf's pirates, it's clear he is a mage of some skill, so perhaps he has acquired his knowledge thru arcane means. At least, since he is newly arrived in the Caribbean and so definitively French, it seems unlikely that he has spies milling about the island already. du Tourbillon listens attentively, his brows knit in focus. "Ah, my man Badouin did mention he'd seen you speaking with the quartermaster for the Winchelsea, Monsieur Barrington," he says, referring to Read Wallace's ship. "I should like to hear of your opinion regarding Captain Wallace's readiness to sail?"By switching face and securing the cannons for this expedition, Barrington was sure to have left a negative impression on Read Wallace, but essentially spying on him for du Tourbillon, that would undoubtedly earn him an enemy!"There are forces at work on the island that are clearly hostile to those venturing in search of Le Gloriosa. Of that much I am certain. Thus, I am inclined to acquiesce to an advance of funds. The sooner you can set sail, the better. How much will these cannons cost, Monsieur Barrington?"</blockquote>
