She's seen right through his starting offer, just like the old pirate anticipated they would. "Negotiations it is. I like this one. The Sea Witch they call you, eh?" Blackbeard offers to refill any cups that need refilling from the bottle of rum before proceeding to lean back in his chair."I hear most of the rumors in Nassau, and lately there's been a fair deal that you and Captain Read Wallace are in a bit of a race to hunt a treasure. Now, if you were to tell me that, say, you were pursuing La Gloriosa del Mar lost after a raid on Cartagena, then I could be convinced to offer title to the ship free and clear if you performed one of the aforementioned tasks for me. And retrieved a certain treasure from the wreck. Hypothetically speaking, of course." He tips his head to Katerina with sagacious cunning. [GM]Anyone can make either a DC 13 Wisdom (Insight) check or DC 13 Intelligence (Investigation) check to figure out what Blackbeard's real objective is in these negotiations. Achieve an 18 or higher with Insight and you also deduce either his Bond, Ideal, or Flaw (of your choice).Achieve an 18 or higher with Investigation and you also deduce how he learned of your interest in La Gloriosa, or possibly some other detail of your choice at the DM's discretion.However, roll a total of 8 or less, and you must choose one of these complications:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You've offended Blackbeard in some way — he turns hostile (though not immediately violent) to your party.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blackbeard gave you an enchanted cup that turns the rum into truth serum — you unintentionally divulge a potentially compromising secret.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A knowing glance from Blackbeard cuts you off and reminds you that you're still indebted to the old pirate — gain the Obligation ill fortune, which Blackbeard may call upon later.</li> </ul>[/GM]</blockquote>
