If Hoch batlh choqbogh mIw'e' is "a plan to save everyone's honour", should
it not be quv rather than batlh?

vIparHa'. An elegant way of putting it.

Again, I had no problems at all keeping in mind that this was all supposed to
be flashback. You used the perfective to good effect to do that and I didn't
ever feel like it was chucking me back into the present (incompletion?) of the
story.
