| The group due to set out for Minestus's lair initially contains Probe,
Evis 7, Li'reth, Ke'lan, Astra 1-8, 8a, 10-12, Fred 1-8, 10-12, Kethiani
and Feir-dalan, Demifox Synizn, Synizn, Synizn 2, Sigin and Tarin Gazin.
The Freds and Astras all have a personal score to settle with Minestus,
of course, even if this Minestus is only an analog of "their" Minestus
for most of them. Tarin is in the group because his dwarven underground
expertise may be useful. The Synizns go wherever "their" respective Freds
and Astras go, of course. The others are chosen to provide an appropriate
mix of muscle and magic, bearing in mind that the mages available are limited
because the dragons will be needed to go with the group seeking the dragon
council. Queen Astra would have liked to go with the Minestus group, but
has been persuaded that her presence will add gravitas to the party going
to see King Emry.
Probe does a quick head count, and is a little alarmed to find that there are 34 in the group. That seems rather unwieldy for an operation of this nature. After much discussion, Astras 7-8 and 10-12 and their corresponding Freds, together with Astra 8a and Kethiani and Feir-dalan, are persuaded to stay behind. That reduces the number to a slightly more manageable 21. Some of the dragons transport the party and their supplies to the location of the twin cave mouths, familiar to many in the party, before returning for further ferrying duties with the Doctors' group and/or joining the dragon council seekers' group.
