Describe GMC relationshhips
- Delaporte → Sothoy: A quaint local guide, nothing more.
- Sothoy → Delaporte: A rapacious European, here to steal everything.
- Sothoy → Leonowens: Either European or Thai, there is no good in him.
- Leonowens → Sothoy: An uppity Khmer subject, to be put in her place.
- Leonowens → Delaporte: An ungrateful colonist who needs to understand what Leonowens can do for him.
- Delaporte → Leonowens: Of course, he's here to protect the French mission.
If the picaros don't interfere...
Delaporte opens the cache; the backlash (predictably) kills some stegosaurus calves. The rest of the herd stampedes, killing various people around.
Sothoy curses Delaporte, afflicting him with various spirits.
Leonowens attacks Sothoy, but his Khmer auxiliaries rebel against this action.
Delaporte, the surviving French, Leonowens, and the Thai cavalry flee into the jungle, pursued by Sothoy's spirits and a few stegosauruses she can send their way.
Leonowens gains control of the stegosauruses and sends them back to Angkor Wat.
