You're right about the drunkenness, I suppose. But I'm not sure whether the females can "foresee" that there will be any encounter, not the least an encounter with something like the fellowship and the ex-slaves (of which the latter they would know nothing anyhow)...

But maybe we'll see in due time?

Nogrod,

We've cross posted. I'm not sure if you saw what I said.

Ishkur isn't totally drunk yet and he would at least have the wits to recommend a pull-out from the camp and an attack in the morning.

Yes we did, indeed. I was not intending to say all the males would be drunk at this moment (I think Gwerr also has something like a reason left 'till now), but as I thought it would take time for anything to happen I easily foresaw these orcs getting more drunk...

But as I said, let's see what happens and when.

The slaver who is back in camp is the one chased out by Aiwendil. There are a lot of horses out there on the plain running loose and it wouldn't be that hard to nab one to ride.

So how near / far the slaver camp actually is? My recollection of the things past gives quite a distance (f.ex. it could not be seen from the top of the highest hill around = at least 20 miles or something). So what time it actually is in the slaver camp now? And what is it in the battle?

Somehow I can't make these two lines converge even if I try. But as I said, I may be wrong and just perceiving the whole situation wrongly...

And sorry, Undómë, I didn't mean to annoy you. I was only wondering how the females could get ready for the ex-slaves like you wrote it earlier. It's of course another thing to be on one's toes all the time for whatever mishap. Although I think there would be a temptation to just fall into the looting and having a good time as all the others are doing it... but maybe the females are more cool than the males with the orcs as well as with us humans?

This has nothing to do with 'foreseeing' - I'm only saying my two characters will act in their own best interest as calculated by themselves.

Sorry guys. It seems I'm now the one who is losing touch with this game...

So one of the slavers is already back in the camp (well, one of them)? This fast? How on earth? Sorry. I may have read the last tidings badly or something.

If it is so, I'll draw back my words and apologise. It's late now here but I will check these tomorrow.
