Kingsmarch Shipments

If Admiral Valerius event procs, and you ransom instead of killing him you lose your shipment.

If you kill him the shipment and the ship remain safe and return on their route.

Why would paying ransom delete everything on the ship? Either fix that, or put a warning that paying ransom also gets you nothing in return

To be more clear : Nothing on that interaction, gives us the player any information or hint that paying ransom would only save the crew, intervening in the english language means to take action, and paying ransom is taking action. On top of that ransom is : "a sum of money that is demanded by criminals in exchange for the safe return of a kidnapped person or captured goods".

So please make sure that the interaction and the resolution options are more clear on what they do.
