The plan

"Weston, Francois, Baron, and I are the captains of the ship which the Marquis has prepared for us as you all know."

The crew members nodded.

"As such we will be making the preliminary decisions on our next courses of action but will choose to consult you. I will say this only once. We value your opinions and hope that your opinions can be put to good use for the safety and well-being of the crew. All to ensure the success of our trip. As you may all know the problem we currently have is that the Marquis has given us these funds and supplies as well as the ship for a reason. That reason being to turn in Baron to the officials. We do not want to do that, so I have devised a plan in order to get the trip to happen without the Marquis getting Baron."

I then put out a map of the village which was near the Marquis's home.
