In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:
Green Dragon: an unpaired Green Dragon, honors only score in groups, and your direction is Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)
West: an unpaired West, honors only score in groups, and your direction is Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)
4 Crak: a loner, serves neither Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9) nor Consecutive Numbers
