Also, while the head of the church military force could be blamed for the failure of the battles, but the inquisitor has been also issuing orders to the troops and his own people, which could be blamed due to the interference of these orders with their original instructions.
I bet the strain of hteir alliance and the failure of the crusade will force the collapse of the group, or the rest of church rising up against them.
True to a point Syed but I cannot see anyone left surviving in the Church hierarchy being strong enough or in place to actually challenge even a disintegrating Go4.
My money is on Magwair if a) one of his strategies goes further astray - ie the pulling back to resupply/re-equip; b) if his new style tactics lead to another disaster; c) if he opposes Clyntahn on strategy again and it looks or appears like that his plan stinks of cowardice or no religious fervour.
In saying this Duchairn is not exactly in the best of positions - yes he does control the purse strings but in Clyntahn eyes is weak and does not exhibit enough 'faith'.
We have not been told in detail what Trynair has been doing during LAMA yes he is fearful of Clyntahn but at the same time he is a very canny individual who would have quite a number of contingencies in place if Clyntahn becomes even more unstable. Being fearful does not equate to underestimating his fellow Go4 members. He also knows that they are all in it together.
