The only thing that makes me feel even remotely close to better is that one of the baddies is a cobbler and one is divided against the others.
I know the numbers look bad, but at least we have better odds of killing a baddie since there are so many and not all on the same team.

And anyway if my calculations are correct, we should have at least two more Days (including toDay) before we're doomed.

The BK can't protect the same person twice in a row, but I believe he can still protect his mates multiple times. He'd just have to alternate between the two. But now with the rook dead, he may have to protect someone else eventually. I think he can only protect himself once. Unless the answer to your question is no, he isn't required to protect every Night, which Shasta would have to answer.

How would she not guess that there was a good chance she'd die after the Black Queen targeted her (and she'd know that she was protected)? Also, I don't know what you mean by update her pick. A hunter submits a new choice every Night and there's no way to change her choice if she suddenly realises it might be her last Night. Once a choice is submitted, I don't think it can be changed.
