Hmm, guys, have you ever heard the phrase 'too many cooks spoil the broth'? How many factions are involved in this mess? What are the odds that the end result is 'everybody loses, some wake up confused with a surprise bill, some lose badly, some lose very badly?'
Hmm, temples 'temporarily assuming control to maintain order', nope, can't see anything going wrong with that, no-one would be churlish enough to suggest ulterior motives of a priest...
