We wish to avoid this, even as we (1) empathize with Gae'al's plight and anger and (2) recognize we may not have full control over avoiding violence, especially as the Congress of Savagery is both the place for it and not currently teeming with citizens.With this in mind, you proposed the followingOkay, so we think the 4 key locations (with complexity) should be: (1) the Congress of Savagery (Medium), incorporating all of our inputs above, (2) the Empress's private chambers (Hard), (3) the Legion of Ruth's "field office" within Bantouk (Medium or Easy), and (4) The Black Stage, where pantomime actors perform for the city's elite (and, occasionally, its underclasses) (Medium or Easy); this last seems appropriate for swaying public opinion in some grand way.Clearly, we should begin with the Congress of Savagery, but the order (and complexity of those last two) is up for grabs and whatever makes sense for the developing fiction! Just as clear is that gaining access to and persuading the Empress to claim her strength and overhaul the entirety of the political landscape is where the crux of this challenge lies.</blockquote>
