With Sak'bas caring for their son Rakeesh, and Cynthia now into her second trimester and looking huge already, Devaguea had zero plans to take either of them, despite Cynthia's protests. Instead, Sydon and Nordri were shoe ins as his generalists. To replace Sak'bas, he grabbed Akiros. Cynthia was replaced by Camilla, the woman now looking almost like a half dragon thanks to the extensive training he had helped put her though. And the last combat slot was filled with Anke, keeping everyone healthy and officially doing diplomat duties. He also snuck Tina in, adding his royal bard for her performances, though in reality because he suspected that Pitax would have something around the bardic college they were so proud of.<br/><br/>Camilla for the strength fight and the Joust, Tina for the bardic work, and someone else would be able to fill in for the last event. Tina was also carrying Vesper's Rapier, so they had an easy way back if things went really, REALLY bad.
