Oh, snap! Ariara, you can be scary sometimes. We're all cool, though, right?

She has ideas.

so ariara wants that castle, no matter who she has to trample

What. Baron.

Hooo boy, Ariara is thinking BIG, and I don't see who can stop her (besides maybe the Judge).

and here I thought she is more of a boat person...

I like Lacey's new pose :P

Burk, we found the villain you should have learned about way back when...

She is changing the plan in order to get more than initially intended. Has this ever worked for any villain in the entire history of fiction?

Still, I'll support her campaign. All the candidates are dodgy and at least she is open about her homicidal policies. Plus, she presumably knows how to keep a pirate crew happy, so she just has to convert the entire population of her region into pirates and then she'll be perfectly qualified to lead them!

Very curious what Burk's take is going to be on all this. I bet Ariara will try to convince him she's a good guy, which he is probably inclined to believe. And Pablo will try to convince him otherwise at great peril I suppose.

By that definition of determining whether the baron had "something happened to him," the aristocrat's opinion of Ariara is true thus far,
