"Heresy? <Tsk, tsk, tsk> For old times sake, I am feeling merciful. Hand over the seven, no eight (pointing to Qamra), heretics in your midst, hand over the foul text you pilfered to sow this schism, and recant. Do this and I will grant you a swift death, far removed from what these treacherous Dolg Hanans will endure. Do it not and you will join them..."[HR][/HR]You take +2 forward from Short Rest in the Religious Bastion of Dolg Hana.  If you wish to engage in parlee to have him accept more reasonable terms (which cannot include "allow The Blessed to go free...this includes Qamra") or you wish to try to swindle him or stall him to create some kind of diversion or delay so you can get a boon (beyond the +2 to Initiative that you would recieve if you escalate to combat now), let me know.Otherwise, I'll put together a combat + nested SC pending your goals.  You're facing extreme danger here.  This will be a Level +6 combat with Bita Bahlin (Solo), Soldier Standards (Swarms; phalanx), and Artillery Minions.  However, you can make a Standard Monster out of 1 of Chono Sarantuya, The Blessed Seven, or Gan + one Hazard (could be Dolg Hanans or could be a feature of the rustic village or could be Moon Maiden or Shadowed Sun intervention) that you are immune to (homefield advantage) to offset that budget by 2 monsters (so Level +4).  However, they are slain, that is donezo for them; curtains.Let me know what you plan to do and we'll resolve.</blockquote>
