The Princess Posse loses Odette as its intended adjutant but gains veteran orc judge Baroness Victory.
Carl had structured Huanxin's Katia rescue deal around making Odette the team's adjutant. Odette instead joins the Celestial Ascendency as Nekhebit, forcing the team to make an unplanned choice during a live broadcast.
Only three candidates appear available. Donut favors Ripper Wonton, Carl distrusts Drick, and Quasar strongly recommends Baroness Victory.
Carl selects Victory after she demonstrates legal impartiality and reveals that other candidates tried to exclude her. The choice gives the team an experienced referee but may fail Huanxin's specific condition.
The Princess Posse crest gaining a stern orc judge icon while a vulture goddess icon moves to a separate celestial board.
The faction gains legal expertise while the secret rescue plan tied to Odette remains unresolved.
