Given what we know at this time, it is more critical to keep the King on his throne.
He has asked us personally to help him in the city, which means that he thinks it is a bigger priority for him for us to stay instead of going the army which means he will owe us more.
If we don't we will lose our influence, still owe 1200 wps and a lot more enemies.
If we save him, he owes us big time.
I can see multiple threats to his rule:
Royal household - traitors
Great/ Minor Houses revolting
Civil unrest (possible uprising)
Necromancer influence
Spider Goddess cult
This will take time to fully address and the battle could drag on given the forces involved.
We can afford to not go south at the moment but later
Possible scenarios
Nanshe wins - her forces will be reduced, she may attack the capital but we will have a better chance to repel her and we can negotiate with her. She may even capture the TWM.
TWM wins - his forces will be reduced, he may attack the capital but we will have a better chance to repel him.
Mazzarin wins - he will probably boast and mock us
Cloaked riders wins - they are a small force and not our enemies, there is a chance to negotiate with them or take them out.
Eberhardt wins - they are a smaller force, they could be negotiated with or taken out.
Dwaven army wins - best choice for us but Nanshe and Mazzarin may be annoyed.
Chaos nobody wins - stalemate good choice for us as it gives us time to prepare and hopefully the forces are reduced have shown their best hand and we can come up with a better strategy.
We need to find out what is going on the battle.
- we have information that might help us TWM journal, Gullveig's ciphered letters but we decided to send it off with Nephila to Muirthemne when we can read if after the dwarven arc has finished.
We can still get her back as she is still in Blackfort
She might be seen in the capital.
For 5 wps the Black arrows will sneak her into the capital
People will recognise her as a spider demon.
For 100 wps from the Dietfried Brother (this will be paid by the King in the form of a promissory note, he will not know what the money was spent on) she will get a magical disguise, they have done this before and by extension there are demons walking around the capital and no mass sightings of demons.
How can we trust her
We do trust her to free her with an oath, we can make more types of agreements.
The worst that she has done is freaky eating habits and a hug.
She has kept her word by giving us information and sealing up the tunnels in blackfort
I see her as more of a Lysaa figure, remember that she is a necromancer and served in the watcher army and now she is a valuable member of the party.
I am not saying not to go south but wait until you sort out the King's affairs. The battle could drag on and we can tip the balance when the time is right.
We can get information from the battlefield from scouts etc and not going in blind.
