If nothing else, that's the pitch that Azhur is going to make. After all,
he believes that is commanding an inferior.

So, with a strident voice Azhur will issue a *command* to The General for
Azhur to summon the escort (chain of command is a bit strange here), as
the elected King of Seshnela (a place that he knows of, but that's about
all), with an appeal to Azhur's honour (and to The General's!)

A little more actually; augments are +1/5 points but can only be used once
in a conflict.

So that's 18+4+3 = 5W.

And the General will resist with his

Ruler of Puppetland 5W
Arrogant Meglomaniac 18 (hey, no-one said he's nice), +4
At Court 13 (home turf advantage), +3

So that's 5W+4+3 or 12W

Azhur's roll is 10, a failure bumped to a success.
The General's roll is 19, a failure, bumped to a success.

Azhur's roll is lower so it's a marginal victory.

"I do honour you, foreigner from a different place and plane - and watch
your tone in front of The General of Puppetland. But what you say has a
ring of truth, but only a little tinkle, like a child's toy! Perhaps
*logic* did bring you here. Or perhaps you are just simply lost without
purpose. Tell me why I should believe that you've been brought here by a
power greater that either of us?"

(You'll need at least another marginal victory to convince him... Or a
Hero Point)
