Nice, do we need to vote for it? If e.g. we would like to check with Ziku with Detect Evil, Tender with Detect Chaos and Esha with Detect Magic for as much coverage as possible, with Roland and Tom for support.

No, they will just do it, there is no risk or downside you would be taking on.

Since the Pride of Koire will follow along with us, I don't have too much of an issue stopping in Apuku first.
[X] Stop over in Apuku so that the brothers may give aid and counsel in the battle against the daemons of Korman

One thing you guys might also want to consider about the current decision is that you would be bringing a lot of tin to an island in the midst of its own war. It is not out of the realm of possibility that the you could be pressured to sell some of your tin, especially as you will arrive with the first breath of winter so there will not be a lot of ships making the same run from the north at this time.

Can we go to Orinilu and then back to Apuku later to deliver the brothers?
What's the difference of price of tin in Orinulu and Apuku? If we sell in Apuku, how much of the reward we are projected to lose?
No, if they get to Orinilu they will take a ship south. Moru does not like the kings of the Anwa so really the only reason he is even mildly on board with this is the argument that he would get to grips with the enemy sooner.
About a factor of three. Orinilu is much richer and more populous. Mind you are unlikely to be asked to sell your whole cargo, but you could lose on the order of 10k gp.
Why did then Antonio's initial plan was to sail to Apuku? IIRC we don't even have enough good food supplies to last us to Orinulu.
You do actually, it just would not be very good or pleasant food and that was part of the reason why Antonio planned to return, the vast majority of the crew of his two ships is Anwari and he wanted to lower unrest by giving them shore leave. With Ulk dead and revealed as a daemon that is a smaller though sill present concern.
Eh, then overall it's alright, if Apuku is good enough for Antonio, it's good enough for me. Loosing 2k or 3k from our 7k reward is not so high a price to not deal with possible crew unrest and to get a chance to make daemons who attacked us suffer.
Ah, but they are assholes who are opposed to daemons. That makes it tolerable.

Not when the assholes shoot themselves in the foot by trying to rob the people trying to help them.
No, I won't risk that. Morons keep raiding the ships trying to trade with them.

Pressured as in "encouraged out of the kindness of our hearts" or encouraged, along with a threat of physical violence?
Because I am perfectly willing to write off the Anwari over this kind of shit.
One of our main resources for dealing with daemons, a paladin who is really good at it and his spellcasting brother, would be gone then.
We need to prop those sides of the conflict who are more beneficial to us, and assholes on Lirman are our best bet, they are already in conflict with the daemons on Korman. If we help them, it will be easier to do something about the Korman daemons; if we don't help them, it might happen that they will lose and all the Anwa Islands would slowly fall under the daemons.
It would be good if we could deal only with good people, but there are things happening in the world that can harm us, and sometimes we should ally with not so good people against them.
Write off whole archipelago to the enemy of all just because of some political difficulties? No thank you.

I very much think that it would depend on the currently visiting morons.
Depends on how desperate the king is, going as far as explicit threats of violence would not do his reputation any favors.
Sorry for all the vague replies, but the problem is that you have not been in port for more than a season so it's hard to tell what the situation looks like.

Yes, but in this case they will be dealing with Shadows (and maybe daemons) in Inaurna Empire.

There are probably more strategic people to help against the daemons. Like the ones that don't plunder each other and their trading partners.
Won't dispute that, but the Korman daemons are a problem closer to us, because they are closer to our trade routes and because they seen us and attacked us personally, and I would like to point possible solution at them first.
DP just said that there would be no plunder, as it would kill the king's reputation, probably just hard negotiations. And where are such strategic people? I don't think we've met any yet. Seems it's like that everywhere, everybody just looking at the local picture, not caring of anything else but themselves. We have to work with what we got.

I am not seeing people in Orinilu pirating each other's ships. That's enough for me

I'll stick with stopping in Apuku for now, but I'll happily burn the place as a future port of call before I agree to sell them tin at a discounted rate. Also, I would happily burn the port itself, if it came down to it should they try to pressure us.

Yes, are closer, and we can help them sooner. Aphiwe Feku is more distant, and we partially responsible for her situation. She need brothers help (if it is not already too late).
@DragonParadox , does Tender have any thoughts about whole this situation?
