Banda sent Khalsa Army who captured the fort and killed the Faujdar.

gollark: Well, that there was the filesystem overlay mechanism anyway for other reasons, and I decided that using it for really small programs was mildly more efficient than having to ship a million different tiny `bin/whatever.lua` files.
