Pike and Cherub manipulate the Squire

The smugglers’ stash is the primary target of Pike and Cherub’s deception, serving as both a tangible prize and a means to an end. Pike references it in his dialogue as part of their plan to 'take their store,' indicating that its location is critical to their success. The stash represents not only a financial windfall but also a potential key to uncovering the whereabouts of Avery’s treasure, which is their ultimate objective. Its mention in this context underscores the high stakes of their infiltration and the ruthlessness with which they will pursue their goals.

Before: Hidden and secured on the Squire’s estate, its location known only to a select few, including the Squire himself.
After: Still hidden, but the pirates’ plan is now in motion to uncover its whereabouts through manipulation of the Squire.
