Nogrod --
Your post is great but I do have a problem. It doesn't make sense that Athwen would be rescued without her husband even showing his face. For one thing, if he didn't act quickly, he would probably be figuratively sleeping on the sofa for the next twenty years!
Could you possibly hold off a bit and let Dorran come and join in the fray? I'll invent some kind of excuse in terms of why he is arriving "late". As to what he should be doing, if you've knocked off all the available attackers, could he at least scramble to untie his wife? Surely they would have tied Athwen or knocked her out so she couldn't struggle away on her own. She's a pretty strong and athletic woman.
I do have a posting problem because this is Thanksgiving weekend --the second "biggest" holiday of the year. The house is stuffed with food and visitors so it's a little hard to get posts up quickly. I'll do one now for Azhar but push the save for Dorran forward. I'll try very hard to get to it late tonight but it may even be tomorrow till it's filled. Would that be alright?
