You leave the Pirate King's castle and make your way back to Midnight. As you exit the stronghold, Raquel turns around and gives you a hug.
"I don't think anyone on the ship would have done that for me, besides my father of course." She gives you a kiss on the cheek, which leaves you flustered.
Once you are back to your ship, Raquel summons the crew and tells of your steadfastness and undying allegiance to the crew. "Without the Captain, the Pirate King would have murdered us all by now!", she yells.
Sure she was probably blowing the whole thing out of proportion, but almost immediately you see a change in the crews' demeanor. They seem much more at ease with you around and obey your commands. Maybe her exaggerations weren't such a bad thing after all.

"Let's get down to business. The Pirate King gave us a job to do. It's not the easiest mission in the world, but he promises great treasures if we complete it." You lay the plan down and the crew discusses how to approach the situation.

"Too dangerous," says another man, shaking his head. "Let's try the Trojan prisoner gambit [1]."
"That one's old, only idiots fall for it," grunts a third man. "Let's kidnap one of Lord Colton's relatives. That'll teach the bastard a lesson."
Your men argue louder and louder, and it's up to you to choose a course of action.
