[@ Konica] - Well ... if it's within Adrianna's character to leave, retreat, and lay low, there's a strong likelihood that several rather powerful Sarifen aristocrats and a half strengthed, Nezamnissary Orta are willing to exchange political, military, and economic favors for shot and powder. The Palais de Voltas is also one of the most heavily fortified and least affected defensive fortifications within Voltas itself and the chance of being outnumbered is ... how shall you say ... more than possible? ;^)

In my opinion, that's as good enough a reason to leave and even if she doesn't participate in the Palais pre-emptive strike, Adrianna's role will neither be singled out or isolated. Depending on how our characters interact via IC, there is plenty to explore and characters to interact as the other secondary characters maneuver through the Merchant's Quarter. The chance to escape would allow for the opportunity to save face, lay low, and fight another day.

On the other hand, Conqvist's Seer, Catherine, presents a serious threat to each character's survival and under Conqvist's direction, could prove to be our characters' undoing as would the presence of a fully reinforced, trained, and mobilized Crown Watch. As it appears, a high risk, high reward situation where a high likelihood of death, capture, or dismemberment is evident, but where success would greatly lower our characters' chances of death.

The choices are equally viable with ... [i][b]complicated[/b][/i] consequences!
