The Fellowship of the Fourth Age (Part 1): A New Beginning Discussion Thread

[Child of the 7th Age]

I am mentally working on my post...even though nothing appears yet in a little box! Just wanted to check on numbers, which have been so vexing.

I am assuming the following.... There were originally 27 slavers. About twelve were killed in the initial conflict (the ones that were totalled up earlier in the thread). Another four were taken out by Pio and Brinniel more recently. That leaves 13. Imak is badly wounded but alive. The other 12 are in good fighting shape.

Feel free to criticize and/or sharpen up my math. (I was never any good at numbers anyway!) Unless I hear otherwise, I am going ahead with the slavers on the assumption of these figures.

What I really can't tell is how many slavers are left. Presumably a number have been killed and/or injured that are not even mentioned in our thread. Can I assume we have about 25 slavers and fellowship in good fighting shape? Perhaps another 25 are injured and/or are females/children who would be hidden in the grove? If anyone has ideas on this, it would be helpful.

I've been called to jury duty tomorrow and am hoping to be dismissed. I plan to try and write out a draft of my post while I am sitting in the box as they shuffle the panel! So if something strange get mixed into the narrative, don't blame me.
