Gift of Inferno's Embrace: Can be spent to convert or impregnate a mate. The night troll created will be able to make itself as one with any sufficiently large blaize.

Reposting just in case (with small update)
1) Order our ghost to make gauntlets, helmets and boots, any unused metal is bad. Any body protection is good
2) Train armed combat, friendly sparring is always good way to improve relations and we need to not rely only on our magic. Train armor usage, too
You take a break to catch some sleep, informing the wives to wake you up when the order of new armor is finished. In your dreams you wrestle a dire bear in win. Your mother could interpret dreams with some accuracy. You wish she was here...
Eventually you are woken up by Gwen, and distribute new helmets to most of the party. You then contact Foghorn via magic mirror and ask if his ritual is ready yet. He sadly reports that he will need another day or so, but will be able to terrorize the forests with localized intense thunderstorms once he is ready. He informs you that the weather will likely last for 3 to 5 days once started.
(We should go into the forest to find people for souls.)
Maybe we should force Jimma to give birth first by hunting around Oakworshiped first
"Alright ladies, this is the plan. Before we attack Oakworshipped in earnest I intend to go into the woods with Gwen and Jimma. We will collect souls for the former to enchant with, and hopefully give the latter a chance to give birth before the battle. Cherlyn, you and Alice stay here and take care of the kid." The consorts take their time to prepare, and within a few hours you set out into the woods with Jimma and Gwendolyn.
Before you can even reach the woods, potential prey is found. Five humans in uniformed armor walk in a path perpendicular to yours, seemingly patrolling the border of the forest. You are still out in the open on the plains, so it is unlikely that your group will be able to get the drop on these men, or even sneak by unnoticed. If you wish to avoid a fight and find some lesser targets to pick on you will have to get creative.
-I wonder if we could overcome the numbers disadvantage in a straight fight here?-
