So Lasrach would want to manipulate the alumen and use their own strength against them and Balder would try to outmaneuver them by possibly taking advantage of the flowing, bulky nature of their robes - though this might not be as big a problem since I'd assume it would be a Japanese style hauberk. Assuming that they have some sort of padded coat or gambeson under their robes to disperse blunt trauma left from hitting the mail, Balder's straightforward attempt might be pretty silly.

I want to know what Latvanen would do ([@November]), and I wonder how plausible it would be that he or Jory discover the Arbiters and the threat they pose before we enter the room or alert their suspicion. Will we catch them standing at complete attention on either side of the door or like smokin a pipe and chattin about their favorite colors?
