Especially considering that Alexandria stated she was there to guide and assist us."if you need guidance, or assistance, come and ask. It's what I'm really here for."And the Mission implied the negotiations were part of our job."Your job is to go in, talk to each side, figure out the best method of resolving the conflict, and then resolve it."And Florence is representing the Imperium, so I didn't immediately assume males talking would be speaking out of their station.

Florence is part of the entire reason this problem exists. The queen actually considering this whole deal with a man is part of what is giving the princess some actual fodder to fight with, which was something not immediately revealed because I don't reveal all information to allow for some cultural pratfalls. :p

Also, while the mission implies that negotiation is part of the job, the first and foremost objective is ferreting out any potential sources of corruption involving the queen, a significant portion of finding corruption is through one on one discussions or investigations--more akin to a [url=http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/private-investigator-6.jpg]private investigator[/url] than a [url=http://www.worldrich.net/Files/Remoteupfile/2008-10/14/200711281426435384.jpg]diplomat[/url]. Later on though your diplomatic skills will definitely come in handy in swaying people one way or the other based on what evidence you might find.

However, something to consider.

You didn't completely fail in your task either. Your approach did work in an unorthodox manner, you showed your sincerity and managed to convince a [i]potential world leader[/i] of your importance. So much so that she now wants to talk with you. In private. About ferreting out evidence related to the corruption of the queen.

So yeah. :hehe I wouldn't worry. I'd say you succeeded, just not in the way you quite intended.

I read the first blow as "five hundred undead" and was confused as all hell when Brovo suggested we could easily take them out haha. But now we have some tough decisions! I assume a red flare means Wren is in trouble though?

That is the assumption one could derive yes. Could of course mean something else entirely. She might be asking you to bring some cake and tea.

Gonna take a wild guess and say that flaying the undead via my whip won't do much?

If you flayed the flesh of a limb, like a leg, you might be able to take cripple them further than they already are, but aside from that, no, a whip probably won't kill them unless you could decapitate them with it.
