One more negative I would like to point out about postponing this battle: if we run, we'll be Exhausted the next time we run into them.  That would just make it even harder than it already is.  Particularly since Nathan is the only member of the party that can comfortably stomach (a small amount of) exhaustion.

(...)

Actions matter in and around Atheneum.  Just want to drop that reminder.  Plus, after we reach the location, I don't think Solosis will be an issue.

Assuming Iron is fine with Solosis being in Nathan's bag at the start of all this, I think most of the major issues concerning it are remedied in that case.  It won't be immediately on the battlefield, and Nathan's close enough to deal with it himself if it becomes a problem.

Ah, I didn't think of that. Exhaustion is a pain in the arse to deal with, but its not as big of a deal compared to fighting in unfavorable conditions such as these. If Solosis can be contained and not become a nuisance during the battle, though, then staying for at least a Round and see how that turns is okay with me, and after everyone is done prepped after the first round is when the Earthquakes can a start rolling. How many remains to be seen, but hopefully they'll be enough to wipe those blobs out like a napkin on a gravy stain! If they get out and join the battle, however, Ven not going to discriminate or tell Valder to hold the Earthquakes/Powder Snows. Just FYI, mate.

Yes, yes, I know. No need to bludgeon me over the head or wield that fact against me for offering a solution, mate. Killing or keeping an souless enemy spy perma KOed and out of trouble is hardly an 'evil' thing (though we can agree its a rather brutal), but if Ven's deemed 'unworthy' of Antheneum for merely suggesting thus, much less carry the plan out, he can just turn his nose up on the play and set up a defensive perimeter/blockade away from it. *Sighs* Its situation like this that make me wish sometimes Nathan were a little more pragmatic than not....

Let's hope so, mate. Otherwise, things will become complicated and unwieldy fast.

In that case what should I do? Should I change Gustav for Koa and use Assurance+Phantom Force to cause pain in our enemies?
