Tactical Diplomacy
Posted by Puffin on 02/08/18
Ambassador Deacon Pateris goes to Setarco to personally work with the abandoned there. He offers shelter and safety from the ravening pirates coming to destroy Setarco, gambling that they'd rather bend the knee than deal with the oncoming storm. Lady Juliana Pravus and Larissa Whisper go with him, lending credence to his offer and using their diplomatic skills to treat with various groups. Orathy comes too for security purposes, though these abandoned seem to be rather more worried about a fleet of pirates heading for their home than they are of one man with an axe.
In the end, Ambassador Deacon is right, and he recruits many to his banners. Their eventual loyalty may be in question, but for now they're on his side and fighting for Pravus rather than against it.
