Hah. I toyed with this idea as well. But I don't think I could set it up. I could slide over into the situation below, where you go and find out you are the people who kicked your own ass earlier. Absolutely. But it would be hard to arrange the second one (win first, volunarily lose later) and make it work.

But since I also came to a similar conclusion, what I do see possibly happening is them noticing Kallyr there. And at least one of the PCs has a connection to Kallyr. And another is both actively anti Lunar and driven by a need for redemption. So I wouldn't be surprised if they get word to Kallyr that she's there. This is in 1619/1620, remember. I'm not sure when Kallyr comes up with the idea in the first place. If it is before this, then this only confirms to her that she will do it. If it is after, maybe this bootstraps the idea into her brain.

A thought, anyway.
