  Follow-on question: if a Light Son orders his hundred troops to help an   Orlanthi village, and one of them has this geas, how does he reconcile the   military need to obey orders with the divine prohibition? Would you expect   him to go immediately to the commander and say why he can't help? And what   would the commander's reaction most likely be? (Especially if in a   stressful situatuon)? I don't think a Templar would "quietly disobey" (do   nothing, in defiance of orders), but I'd be interested to hear how other   GMs and players would resolve this situation. Is "Sorry, Sir, but I can't   do that: I have a geas!" something you'd often hear from the ranks of the   Sun Dome Templars?

Follow-on question: what should this Light Sun do if he and his troops were hired as mercenaries (which is, if I remember correctly, not unusal for Yelmalios) by the Orlanthi's?
