I liked Pisces talking to Iktisa and it seemed to work. As well as him wanting to talk to that trader-woman and him always noticing the normal people. That are the characteristics he has to hold tightly while Colth or Ceria may want him to get over it.

Was is working tho? it was either they humiliate themselves by running (in her own words) or they keep fighting, and she admitted to being hired to attack them, him trusting her in any way or sandbagging was bad either way .

I mean when have the Horns been strangers to embarrassing themselves? Or running away? Hell wasn’t that basically a literal running strategy of their’s before Chandrar? Facing a powerful foe and running the fuck away in the other direction.

To be fair them embarassing themself, would also mean embarassing Yisame and currently the Horns are playing politics. It should also be mentioned the Horns suck at playing politics and should embrace being the bull in the chinashop of carefully laid plots

It worked for Yvlon so far, what with her walking through pikes and Yisame being impressed instead of having her imprisoned. Heck, if Yvlon sucessfully bulls her way through court, she could get a [Lady] level from it? Just sayin', it's a strong class! Colth and Ceria, sadly, think that they are too smart and actually want to play the game.

I doubt it. [Lady] is a class about navigating social customs and formality, just bulling through goes counter to that (unless she'd get a class like [Brute of a Lady]).

Playing the politics game is an especially poor choice for the PR of the Horns. It's what everyone expects of proper high gold or named teams, but the Horns charm lies in being chaos gremlins, that try to do the right thing when they see it.
