The foreshadowing I see is that Spoiler

at the start of the next turn Ansom will be tempted to personally lead attack on the uncroaked on the walls and use his Arkenpliers. This is a trap set for Ansom by Parson. It is the reason Parson tells Charlie in page 105 he's gonna have the Arkenpliers after the battle. This would be the third trap Parson has laid for Ansom, the first two being the Jillian's "escape" and the "donut of doom". Ansom was saved from the first by Vinnie and from the second by Jillian but now both are, conveniently, 1 turn away. If Ansom is captured this is also foreshadowed when Stanley said that Ansom was bringing the pliers to him. If Ansom is captured then it sets up a delicious interrogation scenario with Ansom and Wanda where Ansom may learn some unpleasant "truths" about Jillian. If Ansom is captured then certainly Vinnie and Jillian will try to rescue him. But if Ansom is captured it does not mean that the Royal Crown Coalition will fizzle or that the Battle of Gobwin Knob will stop.
