There's one way Brandish could have pulled off negotiating with August. She could have pretended to still be captive and play the damsel in distress card. And then the FT guild could bluff to August and say that they will kill all the captured Spriggans unless he stops his advance. It might be extreme/dark for them and August might call them out on their bluff, but oh well still better than Randi's current plan >_____>
