    Hold on though, don't forget all of the other Veterans there, as well as
Hellstromme (who isn't even *in* on the whole Reckoner thing) to help them.
After an intial fight in the ballroom you could weed out a few Los Diablos and a
few of the NPCs. After that, have the group trying to escape, but hounded by the
few remaining Diablos. Go watch The Relic to get some ideas (at least have the
film do some good somewhere).
