Tell him you'll let him into the treasure hold but only if you're with him at all times. And then take the stealth training for free.

For the future Ray, check the thread about an hour after you make an update. If there are two people agreeing on a decision just write a new post.

Assuming you have time of course

The reason we chose not to do this is because there are a lot of ways for it to go wrong. Your job is to keep the storage areas secure, and letting random people (especially really suspicious ones) into those areas is going to result in losing your position, if not worse. If you get caught by a superior, you'd have no way to explain it either.

"We suspected you might be a liar that's stealing our share of the loot" probably wouldn't go over too well

It could go wrong, but it's the most profitable option. We're playing a game on a forum, no reason to play it safe...

The reason for not doing something suicidally stupid is so the character can successfully progress. There's nothing profitable about going to a restricted area with a suspicious person that's obviously going to steal the loot and blame it on you.

Whether it's on a forum or not is irrelevant. If you're not going to take the game seriously, you're not obligated to play.

Hard path != stupid path, especially if it's profitable. It's the way I play all my games. Just make sure he doesn't screw you over but instead screw him over.

That is difficult to do when we have little to no control over what happens. If you look at the knife throwing part you can see what I mean, our actions should have worked flawlessly but they got manipulated against us. It might not have been the worst outcome but we didn't get the one we were expecting. That is what makes this fun but it can be frustrating at the same time.

Not to mention, the guy could simply have one or more of the malcontents show up to hold you down while all the loot is stolen.

A little common sense goes a long way.

That is why you inform the captain before you let him in. Revealing a thief on board must be worth something.

Yes but you did not say anything about that the first time so that wouldnt have been how it goes down.

Agree to his terms.

because I don't care what actually happens. I just wanted to throw in an alternative without getting lost in the details.

Unfortunately I have a life outside SEN

You agree to give up half your share of today's plunder in exchange for stealth training.

"I be findin' ye when yer ready!" Ron chuckles. You take it to mean that he'll probably jump out of the shadows whenever he wants to begin.

Knowing that d'Artagnan won't be training you anymore, you head to your hammock and go to sleep. The next morning, Peavey shows you to your duties as temporary boatswain. A couple of the others resent your promotion, but on the whole, most of the pirates don't seem to mind. In the evening, Peavey and the officers hand out a share of the treasure to each of the pirates, with the officers getting an extra share.

"Aye, that'd be normal," mentions black-bearded Dan. "Who be complaining when there be so much gold to go around?" Jim and William nod in agreement. The average pirate receives several times the pay of an ordinary seaman.

That night, Ron steps out of the shadows and asks for his payment. You hand over half your share and he begins to train you in the ways of stealth. Every night for the next few weeks, Ron will show you how to conceal you body, hide in shadows, and silently creep across creaky floorboards.

A week later, the Devil's Trident drops anchor at the town of St. Christopher. As the temporary boatswain, you are responsible for purchasing provisions for the ship. Peavey hands you a list of supplies and just enough money to buy them. You follow the rest of the pirates as they disembark and enter the town. Although you gave Ron half your share of treasure, you can still have a good chunk of money left to use as you see fit.

It is now mid-morning. The current plan is for the Trident to embark the day after tomorrow. The main places of interest in St. Christopher appear to be the general store, the blacksmith, the tailor, the church, and the tavern.

Go buy the supplies, look for a nice sword and gun and buy them if you can afford them. If you have money left over by a dagger and some rum

Go buy the supplies, and take them back to the ship. If you haven't finished this by the time it gets dark, save the rest for tomorrow.

Since Wing wants alcohol: After returning the supplies to the ship and ensuring everything's in order, go to the tavern. Get some drinks, be social with whoever's there, and enjoy a long evening of general merriment. Charismatically engage a wench or other potentially willing woman until you've ensured yourself lodgings and company for the night. Of course, such lodgings don't necessarily need to be free.

Wow we fell into a bad crowd.

Get drunk and steal the supplies, buy hookers.

Noooo steal the supplies then get drunk! To do so create a diversion, preferably including bribing a small child or otherwise impressionable youth into knocking shit over.

Then buy a hooker.

Gonna go with Az since everyone else is trying to get us in trouble. D:

We're a pirate and we're friends with Ron, the bad boy. Come on we have to show off to him! ;_;
