 * Recommended Combat levels for the early quests whose fights killed the band simulator's characters (T57, 2026-10-14; T35's band
 * runs): Every Road Pays killed a Combat 11-15 character four times at the Redcaps, and The Gull's Map and Low Water killed
 * Combat 15-21 characters at the cutthroats and drowned deckhands. Each quest shows ONE number three ways: the gate (the
 * giver will not offer it below `gate`), the recommendation (`recommended`: enough to beat the toughest foe it names with food),
 * and the foes' own levels, all in this table so the quest card, the helper hints, the gate sentence and the guide cannot disagree.
 * Placeholders for the balance pass (workspace rule: balance last); no damage number is touched here.
