Xerronios stays to engage in small talk with the guests, searching for any who might be sympathetic to the under-message of his songs and the plight of the workers. He uses all his conversational skills on this task.

You do notice there are some among the land owners who are more respectful, and nicer, to their workers. Some even talk with you about increase in wages, more benefits, and such, ways of increasing the happiness and well-being of those who work for them. They do so quietly, and away from their host though; it is obviously not a common held position among the land owners.
Later, Xerronios takes his leave from his hosts and the guests and returns to the ship and shares the evening's discoveries with his companions. He was careful to get the names of those who seemed sympathetic to the workers, those less bound by the greed of their fellows.
"We should perhaps discuss these people with Khloe, see what she knows of them and their positions and activities," he suggests.
BEFORE THE BREAKFAST FEAST, this is assuming Ritha didn't watch Ios casting Augury as well.
Ritha looks dissatisfied as the discussion takes place. "Thassa asks her faithful to bring about change. I feel that as her agent in this world, it is my duty to aid those who would effect it." She pauses, though, taking into account each of the opinions of her companions. "However, Thassa does not always advocate violence as the means to achieve such change. And Kass is correct... it is not my place to enact vengeance for the loss of the farmers here, however much I would like to see it."
She crosses her arms and considers Xerronios's information. "If there are some who are willing to consider the farmers' plight, and repent for the actions of their peers, then perhaps, we should try to bring these two groups together into communication, rather than instigating a battle of some sort. The last thing this island needs is more blood to fertilize the soil. I still feel that we should go to the Salty Swan Tavern and offer our aid to Khloë, though perhaps it can be as intermediaries, rather than mercenaries. That might be the best solution for all parties involved."
((This post is assuming Ritha said the above in the presence of the party including Io. If not, ignore this post))
Io would agree with Ritha's assessment. "I had a vision, a vision from Athreos. Those who had died are unable to pass on due to what had been done. It would be beneficial for us to meet at the tavern and offer our aid to Khloe. I agree that perhaps if we act as intermediaries and try to bring the two parties together, it might be for the best. Then in the best case, justice would be delivered while also shielding those that were not present during the eruption."
(Kassiopeia status: after Xerronios returned from his evening performance and reported, she set up her stuff for the next morning and went to sleep. Waking up very early she made herself up and dressed in heavy armor and talked with the members of the group as they came on deck. She is planning to go directly to the Salty Swan to meet Khloe.)
Ok, who is going where then? I see Kassiopeia is going straight to the tavern. Is anyone going with her, or is everyone else going to the morning feast?
OOC: we can’t do both? I thought we could do both. If not, then Xerronios will head to the tavern and then try to make the breakfast. He will also advise that as many others should go to the breakfast. Actually, what's the timing of the two events?
I thought we could attend the breakfast and then go to the tavern so we don't piss off the nobility. Either way, Io's going to go the breakfast to try and judge their guilt.
Ritha was going to the feast but not feasting. She wants to try to find the "nicer" farmers and make contacts with them herself before meeting Khloe in the tavern.

(Yes, the tavern meeting was specificly made for later in the day, since the workers did not wish you to piss off the land owners by skipping the breakfast. I was just seeing who else was skipping the breakfast.)
At dawn, you are invited to an equally fine breakfast. you notice that one of your hosts, Bésios’s brother, has awoken looking haggard, breathing heavily, with small cuts on his tongue. Characters with a passive Perception score of 13 or higher will notice that he is coughing up small amounts of blood and doing his best to hide it.

In light of the vision and the Augury, Io will ask "What would come of going to the inn to meet up with Khloe and going through with her plan."
Io
Weal comes up on your augury.

Xerronios nods. "Yes, that would be the best first step in redressing the scales of balance and the skein of fate," says the bard.

(Ok, I'm a little confused, when is it right now? We posted some stuff about the feast, but it seems like we're still on the night before, right?)

ooc: There was a bit of backtracking to address Xerronios' performance and the results. But now we are at the morning preparing to meet with Khloe.

((Also I believe that some of use are prepping to go to the breakfast feast to keep up appearances and to also get on everyone's good sides))
ooc: Yes, I'd forgotten about that.

Kanlos planned to go to the feast, again not eat anything, and go from there.
