Salvador quickly begins speaking after the spell is cast.

Hail. I am Salvador, captain in the Arsenal’s navy and freeman of the maritime republic. I was here to look out for attempts to resupply this island when your village appears, and so came to search for the answer. By Maria, I know you come from elsewhere, and little enough about you. I hope to explain myself to you and for you to hear me out fully. This island was invaded for no crime of it’s people and now only one city stands free from the empire. We offer them payment despite their lies if they will leave this land in peace but they demand this siege and blockade continue, I know not what you can do but please help us.

The baron hardly waits before responding.
Well, that at least gives us reason for his trespass. Though little more than that, he had indicated knowledge of this stands rulers. A shame it’s so hostile. Do you have anything to ask of him before is handed over?
