OOC:

Unless anyone else chips in with a comment in the flashback I'm going to 
switch back to the present with my next post.

As for the different approaches, Aalmon happens to be a member of a 
denomination that concentrates on peaceful-conversion-of-barbarians so 
yes he is biased that way.

However if we did agree to a parlay approach its worth bearing in mind 
that the preparations for a parlay are much the same as those for 
battle, the honor guard would be in full battle-harness the buglers and 
banner-bearers are the same as would be used to rally the troops in a 
melee etc. In fact the implied threat of being able to put up a fight 
would IMO be an important part of the preparations. Maybe my vision of 
Fronela is too coloured by medieval Europe.

You are full of nasty ideas, I like that in a role-player :)
