Acolyte Amelie,

What you are looking for is known as Games and Theory. A combination of political inquiry, logic puzzle, militaristic history, and strategem.  It spares you the grandeur and obligation of the arena, no doubt prohibited by your fair and humble order, but scratches the proverbial itch.

If you are inclined I'd be glad to meet more and speak on such, or if you prefer a number of scenarios can be sent your way for consideration as we begin correspondence.

To begin I would posit -

Lyrist Lynneth prepares to march us for war, with such rousing speech.
She has declared in passing of the Krak de Rose that she has not received Wage in weeks.
She has declared in passing of the Krak de Rose she laments that her time as Lyrist is now behind desk, in meeting, away from contract and job.
She is of the faith of Warad and famously it is said they are of impoverished.
She equally understands that Ephia's Treasury has been near bankrupt by Legate Zaniah's ransom to Ka'esh.
She comes to you distressed, rarely seen - much like her fury from the Kardesel as she keeps her emotions proper.

How do you find the sum, not only for La Banda Rossa, but also the Students under her command, and the other soldiers expected to fight?

You say your interest is in arena tactic, but if you read through what offered it lends a gleaning, similar to your questions of my work upon the Sages.

O.
