Parley has its own unique charm and is reasonably enjoyable once figured out how it works. It was supposed to be the peaceful resolution to the conflict. Very much a letdown for the type of story line problems you were trying to solve...

But then again, I never would have even considered doing it on a DoH/DoL. Honestly in my mind you don't win main storyline content by sewing stuff...
