Oh, and resist the urge to sink it!

You can't complain. You got yourself into this mess in the first place!:rotfl:
Consider that if I follow a merchant at only 300m or 500m she don't stays in a right road...Left, right, left, right...I don't know the word to explain this movement, in french "louvoyer". And it means that the DD will be alerted bye the merchant movements...

I can try but will resume a save if it no works. For me the best way still deep and silent. If I can pass from West to East I can pass trought from East to West.

I don't complain, I'm in the mousetrap but I'm a cat lol.
