The melee as it stands at present:

The number of the enemy have proliferated! Whereas Elora wrote of 1 leader and his 12 followers,

Lira has killed 1
Corn has blinded 1
Gorby has shot 1
Eswen has shot 5
Eswen has killed 2 more with her sword
Uien is chased by 1
Uien and Falowik are surrounded by 3 more
Thoronmir kills 1
Lumiel kills 3
Lumiel is threatened by 1 more

That's 19 enemy. Wow, we're good! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

We haven't even heard from Finëwen and Falco yet.

In order to keep the consistency in place, I propose that Elora change the number of the enemy to a full two dozen plus a leader. And for the sake of realism, Falowik needs to lay as one dead and the melee move away from him and he sneaks off unseen. As for Thoronmir being captured, that would mean that the 6 who have not yet been taken out (4 of whom are chasing Uien and Falowik, leaving 2), would have to take out everybody else besides Lumiel (who is busy) and Lira (who is wounded). Hmmm.... do we make it a full 3 dozen and go with a captured group, even though the leader said take no prisoners? Either we need to have Elora change the leader's orders, or Meneltarmacil needs to have Thoronmir not be captured; he can, of course, be knocked unconscious.

One thing I don't really want is for you all to revise your posts to cut down the number your characters take out. It looks like a really good fight, and I'm getting a sense for just how good some of these fighters are. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

So let's make a couple decisions which way we want to bring this back into a unity of story flow. Capture or not, doesn't matter to me. Either way, the story possibilities are quite interesting.
