The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If we were to put, say, arsenic or some other poison in there, I'd reckon they'd start having problems. Catch my drift guys? ;)

Poison might come back to us a little too easily if it's in food we cooked ourselves. I suggest we learn how to cook, if we get good enough we could easily make friends just by cooking for people.

Also, make sure to keep our ears open. Learn whatever we can about the town, the people here and the political climate.

Spending time with our Husband sounds good.
Like already mentioned, he will be gone soon enough, and we do not know him all that well yet.

Alternatively I would be all for a little chat with Killman, or starting those cooking lessons.

Else, our uncle is on his own.

He is trouble. The whole family buisness is trouble. If we stirr things up in that direction, we might end up dead .. or worse. Either way we would also become yet more trouble, something we do not want to burden our husband with. First of all, we should get the story from the townsfolk, lest our uncle has taken too many liberties in telling the story. Then again, this would suggest we want to stirr things of that direction up, so we should not actively do so by any means. Keeping our ears peeled is obviously good thou.

Koro's Upbringing
We should try to endear him to the townsfolk, at least as far as this will be possible. While not an action for today, we ourself can also do quite a part in this, I would wager. To cut it short - this is a fishing and trading town. We are sentinent and able to work in the water better than anyone else, I would wager. If we make ourselves usefull in that regard, our reputation will immedieatly rubb off on him, as soon as he does something similiar. Heck, we can make him look for pearls as a game, should we really get desperate on this matter.
Else, he is 7 and literate. Giving him a much needed edge for his undoubtly troubled life ahead, I say him becoming a magician sounds like a good plan. Inquiring with Killman about the probability and possible danger of this matter can't hurt either.

1. yes husband talk is needed.
2. Yes get the story but we MUST help him he's the last of our family and family dosen't turn it's back when the chips are down. Yes the danger is great but so what? we could get him out and set him up in another town to lay low.
3. I know this is kinda skullduggery but we may need to pay the town's kids to play with him too. Just a hunch i mean really a Karken faced kid?
Plus lets get him a hobby that's not water-related so he can branch out. Maybe we could ask a bard to teach him song and dance? Magician? Apprentice him away to our mothers side for smithing?
4. We need to make some dough on our right? An if/when our cooking gets good enough we could pay the bill but let's find other trades. Again fishing, wenching, taking care of the old, and anything else.
5. We must cook else our husband decides were not worth the trouble he went through...Bigotry should be ripe in the medieval ages against women.

I think Trilby.

Anyways. Onto actions for now:

Start cooking lessons.
If we have time, talk with other townspeople about changes that have happened since we were captured.
If we can, talk with Killman about magic--how it works, if she can teach it to Koro, etc.

I would say talking to Killman, about matters such as this other kraken (and the killing thereof, to spare anyone else from ever suffering our fate) should take priority over spending time with our husband.
We have actually known him and the party for a few months, apparently. Sure, we do need to get to know him better, but we only have a small amount of time to influence which quest the party takes-- and I'm sure we "spent" plenty of "time" with the guy the night before, if you catch my drift.

I think we definitely need to help Loki, but let's not go stepping in anything just yet.
We've only recently returned to town/life... we should focus on getting to know these people better, learning to cook, helping Koro settle in, etc.
(Also, if we were to start working against Trilby now, we wouldn't have as much support from the populace as we need.)

This.
We're presumably going to be spending enough time with Alred tonight that we can discuss stuff then, and if the party is going to be away for some time talking to them takes priority over cooking classes, since we're unlikely to be able to prepare anything palatable in one day anyway.

Very true besides i'm sure Uncle loki can hold out a bit longer. As for not having support against trilby...he runs a whorehouse i'm sure their must be some religious folk/workers that hate him/angry buisness partners/angry clients that we could choose from. But all that in good time we have a meeting to meddle in and sandwiches to make!!

Just throwing it out there, we have a "Pile of Unsorted Wedding Gifts" at home. We should probably get around to that. See what's inside, send out thank-you notes.

Learn to cook, bake cookies for the nice guards who let us stay after hours.

Take no action regarding Loki at this time

Spend some time with Koro, and help him to socialize with townsfolk so that both they and he know we're all friends here

We do not want him killing people. We do not want them afraid of him. We do not want to be run out of town because of him. And we do not want him to spend all his time away from people in the ocean and grow up to become his father and terrorize the village. Koro needs to spend time in town. Make sure everyone sees him as a little boy, and make sure he grows up around them so everyone is comfortable. It will be much easier to do this now than if we wait until he's full grown. His father was a kraken. We don't know how big he's going to get. "Noble protector of the village" is a much happier ending for him than "betrayer who we took in then grew up and started eating people and kidnapping village girls, so we killed him."

Quote
is their any way we can get our husband to do the town mayor a favor or two and get our uncle out?

No. Everyone is being extremely nice to us given our situation, and we don't want to press our luck. They're taking it on faith that the monster-girl with a family history of being criminals, and monster-child...are actually good and nice. And they are being nice to us. Don't press our luck on day one by cashing in other people's favors to release people from jail.

Also, rescuing Loki is not a good idea right now. He's clearly still afflicted with the curse, and his main goal seems to be to create more cursed children.

I apologize, but "perpetuting the Crood name" is not very important when it means creating children afflicted by a curse that gets them wrongfully imprisoned, kidnapped intro brothels, raped by monsters, beheaded and die from venereal disease alone in the streets.

Lenny appears to have escaped from the curse, and we appear to have escaped from the curse. Let the Crood name die here.

What curse? I missed that mention. Blood is thicker than water. We need to support family, and that includes not callously letting our uncle rot.

I may be inclined to agree with you... at a later point. We arn't in a position to offer him any kind of help except comfort right now. If we find an oppurtunity we should consider it, but now is not the time.
