The invitation was a surprise, he was honestly not expecting to get one for another half decade, but apparently his explosive growth had startled the old blood enough that he was starting to get some attention. A bit of investigation revealed that he dared NOT go, but the biggest issue was that if he wanted to make a good showing, and who didn't, then he had to scramble his plans for the attackers. It did, however, mean he was going to crush Fort Drelev like a soft fruit between his returning group from the Rushlight Tourney and the assault group.<br/><br/>Sadly, that meant he had to take a more standard group to the tournament with him, taking Sydon, Cynthia, and Nordri because they were most likely to be useful in any competitions they needed to do, while adding Sena and Korima to make the attack on the town easier. While he wanted to take Sak'bas as well, she and Cynthia had significant overlap in a party, and he didn't need to leave a third of his group behind when they ended up fighting indoors.<br/><br/>The other advisors were told of the plan to crush Fort Drelev between the two groups, and were allowed to pick their own members and size of the group, though some would have to stay behind to keep the nation going.
