Chapter 3 - Bosses and staged encounters

BE_0003 "Kaba Lomes, the bought Caci Champion" (for the land-pressure broker Ngoéng Tana; Thread 14, blood sacrifice) · primary PARRY · secondary EXPOSE · axis 45/30/25 · phases [P1→CH03_B09, P2→CH03_B10] · win {ws.community_state_per_region: +manggarai_land_pressure_lifted_broker_exposed} · death {the village negotiates on worse terms + the whip cadence logged — and Kaba Lomes gifts a caci technique on win and death alike, no fail-wall} sub-bosses (each a beat): BE_0003_S1 the Naga Tana of the Wae (ATTUNE/PERCEIVE, 30/45/25 puzzle-forward, the roused potent-land soil-guardian appeased not slain — the win restores the ngoéng-de-tana sacrificial contract and grants the ritual-botanical gather node; the loss runs the waterfall ritual at a partial ceiling) → CH03_B05 · BE_0003_S2 the Deforestation Scout-Captain Poka Puar (DISARM/RESCUE, 40/25/35 patterns-and-preparation, oppressor combat per ruling 5 — the win frees conscripts as valley allies; the loss reveals the inversion pattern; Thread 11 lineage continued from the Ch 2 anchor, scored on the grid at Ch 2 with no separate Ch-3 cell per RR-12) → CH03_B07; the registry rows were re-grounded to the roused naga-tana framing and the stale dukun reference retired at the v3 conversion (six drifted cells corrected, baseline-declared)

PICKED - CRAFT CRAFT: O4 is the only plate that reads as one legible space with real depth and a physical light source — the low sun through the cavern mouth throwing a red path across the lake — with the child clothed shoulder-to-thigh, rounded ears, no conifers, no built object and no incoherent prop (fix on the

PICKED - CANON the child-safety garment line is met - the child's chest and torso are covered by a real woven wrap running from the chest to below the knee where the row had a bare chest above a waist wrap - and the pillar country behind him is genuine flowstone, dripstone and stalactite rather than anything built
