A couple of (groups of) questions regarding villainous priorities!
1. Regarding the mind-controlled necromancers, the witches who came with Morgana, and the people from the slums, what are their targetting priorities like? That is, how much do they favour easy targets versus difficult ones?
To give a concrete example of what I mean: say some Mirrorbound brought a bunch of sleeping Dorchacht citizens inside of a building and used Abjuration magic to ward it/put barriers over any entrances. Would the attackers consider it worth their time to assault this more fortified building, or would they be inclined to pass it up in favour of softer targets elsewhere, since I imagine there will be a lot of people in vulnerable places when they all pass out in the middle of a festival? Do different groups react differently? (Like, say, if one group might be more likely to move on while another might view it as "here's a bunch of victims all in one place"?)
2. Also, when it comes to killing Dorchacht citizens, do they target people who could fight if awake differently from people who likely could not? Would they be more likely to kill adults who could be a problem in the future and spare the children as easier to control if they take over again, or do they slaughter indescriminately? Or do they target the weak even more to try to break the will of the citizenry? Do they take hostages among the sleeping citizens to try to force the actions of the defending Mirrorbound?
Thank you for your time, both in prepping this great event and in answering questions like mine!
