I imagine we’re going to need a tally for pretty much every update from here on. I ended up splitting this between how to deal with Gentleman and what to do with the sword since there was a fair melange of opinions.
Diplomacy: III
Fight: II
Ignore / Find Feringus: IIII
Throw/Relinquish Sword: IIII
Keep Sword: IIII
(not indicated): I
Tell him we mean him nor the doctor no harm.
inform gentleman that we just want to speak with the Doctor, and couldn't harm her if we tried anyway.
You insist that you certainly don’t mean either of them any harm, and even if you did, you don’t think you’re even capable of hurting Feringus. Besides, it was her own orders for you to explore and report back, which you haven’t done yet.
