Good to hear that Folwren. Birth is a miracle everytime it happens but especially in these situations. Congrats to the fresh auntie. You're next, then?

And apology to all but I have been werewolfing a bit too much lately to top my RL frenzy. But from now on I think it's getting easier on both fronts (and I need a break from that addictive game anyhow).

So I have been looking at the thread and have a few questions.

So is it alright if Beloan is with the "foot-soldiers"? Should Khamir be there too (where else could he be?) and how about Adnan?

How many of them there should be? If there are approximately 50-50 balance of men and women, about, and there would be more women in "safety" and some among the archers/slingers, so there probably wouldn't be any in the footsoldiers? (Anyone wishing to cast her character in there?) So if there are something like 10+ footsoldiers (men), like 11-12 or something, I would think it reasonable. We need to have men in the "cavalry" and among the ranged-attack team too and there should be at most 25-30 males in the whole company (not counting the Fellowship).

How about the order of things happening (about)? Athwen rushing towards the trap is first and has begun. Then as Athwen reaches the trap and tries to evade, the first riders fall into the trap. Enter the ranged attack (it must be after the trap is sprung for otherwise the slavers might lift off their pursuit of Athwen and actually attack the shooters not falling to the trap in the first place). As the ranged attack starts the foot soldiers charge to hit the fallen riders. After that the archers should pick those not in the thick of the fight around the trap as not to hit their fellows. But to help the footsoldiers then, enter the little "cavalry" of ours...

Does that sound reasonable as a vague overall plan of affairs? As we all know, anything might happen, but as a general battle-plan?
