Roan was way too confident and proud to let anyone else fight for his clan. I think that he felt that it was his resbonsibility alone to save his people, instead of being "a coward" and stay away from the fight. On top of all that, I don't think he trusts anyone other than himself enough to let somebody else fight for him. So I think that it was very in-character for him to fight.

As for Indra, I agree that it would have been a lot more impactful for Octavia and the audience, if Indra died, but we don't know anything about Fio or how good he was compared to Indra or other Trikru warriors. Of course we can assume that Indra is experienced warrior, because she is the chief, but Fio could have been one of the best warriors of their clan or even better than Indra. Maybe we get an explanation on this later, who knows. Yeah logically It makes since for Roan to fight. He fought for the same reason Lexa thought him last season. I just kind of wish we got an Octavia Echo rematch where Octavia kills Echo.

The fact that we know nex to nothing about Fio, is an issue I have with him in the conclave. In the inside the episode behind the scenes Jason said Octavia would be facing grounder chiefs, which made me think indra was going to die. Finally to have such a minor character like Fio represent Trikru a clan since we've known since season 1 was silly I feel a big death like indra would have been great for the episode. I do like indra though so I'm glad she ended up living.
