[X] The river villages
Inserted tally
Speaking of the forest king arc, I noticed the argument that standing by the civilians/mortals here is a good character development/reaction in light of the paths not taken there. This is true, and valuable, but I'd argue it's the easy choice and doesn't really address the true challenge and failure of the goals Ling Qi set herself during that event.
The messenger cadre is the most likely to put her in a similar situation of (attempting) knowing the conflict at large and being the small voice standing amongst lumbering giants. I'm not advocating Ling Qi try and usurp control of the deployment, that would be an egregious breach of protocol and baseless arrogance given her inexperience. However, it's still the position which affords circumstances closest to her aspirations in the forest king arc. She felt a duty to make a greater contribution to events unfolding around her, but faltered under the weight and risk of the commitment.
Standing in that role proper feels like the more cohesive narrative continuation of the break point where she, well, broke. Choosing a different axiom to act from isn't invalid, and the particular viewpoint is a common and respectable one, but it's somewhat sidestepping (some of) the issues of the event, rather than challenging them.

The garrison is not supported by the town, but by the Empire due to it being part of the frontier.
a 2k town might indeed only have a little 50ish town guard, but the Imperial Army obviously has much more manpower to throw around.

[X] The front line.
We somehow need to evolve our Fortitude and Resilience skills, so only options this expected fighting.
P.S.: Though it would have been interesting to see our only non-combat Tech at work, maybe next time when we have upgraded version.
