Sorry, I was away from books. I want to leverage his Tie of Fear so that he'd agree to my proposed plan of leaving the treasure boat alone. and possibly give us the location of the enemy.
Her greatest weakness, for now, is Sjet.

For some reason am not always getting updates on new posts.

I'm going to say persuading him to abandon his prize when he still thinks you can't stop him from taking it will take at least a Major Intimacy. It's more than a mild hindrance to give up a large cargo ship full of very valuable trade goods!
"Characters who have an appropriate Minor Intimacy can be convinced to perform tasks that pose some mild danger or hindrance to them, as long as it is not severe enough to seriously disrupt their life or livelihood—the prospect of a severe injury, an angry superior, or heavy financial loss is still more than they will allow."
I think what you're trying for here is a Threaten action, in which case your 9 hits definitely exceeds his 4 Resolve, but he's not convinced you can deliver on your threat to maim him, so he can still reject your influence out of hand. If you can prove you can actually seriously hurt him, you can try your Threaten action again. The prize is likely not worth his life.

Show him that Droplets can deliver on her threat to maim him?! Oh boy, I trhink Droplets is having a field day with this one...

Oh, and you can have any resources you spent on the Persuade/Threaten attempt back with which to do the maiming. Best to check if a Persuade/Threaten is valid before attempting it, but you don't have to pay for mechanically invalid actions.

No, it's ok. It's a learning experience for her, and she's gonna make good use of that, to give him some much needed lesson.

Weird question, is there a way of going around the ship without going down the dock?
Equusheart

Like, going this way around?
Random Word
Three Thousand Club
Not a weird question at all! Yes, absolutely. There is a covered route around the outside of the harbour with access to each of those little berths you see. You can go around until you reach the gatehouse, and from there there's a bridge over the gate. You can make a full circuit around the harbour if you can access the gatehouse. There are berths for ships along the inner and outer rings. Many of them are now empty as the fleet went out to do battle in the harbour earlier, but a few ships remain.

How fast is the treasure ship moving?

since this is a new scene, is my anima still glowing?

No, that's fine. I was just asking to make sure what Sayuri is seeing.

It's not iconic, but yes. You're still burning. It's only been 15-20 minutes since the fight.

It's a big ship, so not too fast, but the turtle is doing a good job pulling it at a steady clip. If you want to race it to the gate you'll roll against the ship's sail pool of 8 to see who gets there first.

Lots of stuff on RL-front this week, so haven't been able to keep tabs on the game. Will read up and make an IC post in the next few days 
Equusheart

Yeah, I'll do that.
*Sayuri hitches ups the skirts of her dress to sprint*
What am I rolling? Dex?
Random Word

Sprinting is Dex+Athletics. If you're taking the long way around instead of vaulting the turtle on the pier you'll be rolling at a -3 (so remove 3 dice from your pool before you roll).
Equusheart

And how many dice would I be starting out rolling? (Before removing the 3)
Random Word
Three Thousand Club
In Exalted you add the relevant Attribute to the appropriate Ability, so Dex + Athletics here for sprinting (Stamina + Athletics for long distance running, etc). You add in any stunt bonus you want to award yourself (+2 dice for Minor. Higher levels add successes on top but that's separate from the pool). You add in any extra dice from charms. If you want to make the case that you should receive a situational bonus I've missed (stealth in darkness, say), you can make it now or forever hold your peace. Once you've added all that up, that's your dice pool. Subtract any penalties and roll your dice. Count successes.

As a card carrying member of the Bureau of Destiny, and a mask aficionado, can Nott roll Lore or something to know who Cool-guy-with-mask is?

Absolutely! Being a dutiful member of the bureau of destiny, you doubtless read up on the files on anyone interesting known to be operating in the area. Let's say difficulty 4? This is pretty obviously a persona, so you'll be looking to figure out if it's been used before, or has any calling cards. Let's say difficulty 8 for deep insight.
