Ye of little faith, you gotta remember that Stanley was a very competent warlord. No way he'd walk into a fight with that many archons. I mean, the fight with the Transylvitian warlords was at least a fair one, the number of Archons Charlie has over GK would destroy all of Stanley's forces. He'll walk in veiled under the radar. Once Parson reports what he's done, Stanley will be impressed (much like he was after he learned the seige was gone) and let Parson continue with his planning.
