Piper almost got all her friends killed when they met Hercules!

Hercules: Don't contact your friends on the ship or I kill them and you.

Piper: I'm going to send my friends on the ship an Iris Message to let them know my plan.

She didn't even need to tell them! She could have just buried Hercules under a pile of fruit and then ran for the ship, telling them to fly. I mean they are all demigods, I'm sure they would understand after seeing her and Jason fly back...ok, I'm calm now
