Overthrow Baron Vargas Vallakovich
Objective
Help Lady Fiona Wachter remove Izek and overthrow Baron Vargas Vallakovich while maintaining cover with the Baron and securing party authority afterward. Party-chosen intervention—the group allied with Fiona at Wachterhaus dinner rather than siding with the Baron or staying out of Vallaki politics (Session 14 @ 02:19:34).
