There are 36 men from Scarburg?
 I've been imagining a lot fewer than that (10-15)... apparently Leof really does need some help in the stables.

I think there was something like 15 men-at-arms in Eodwine's Mead Hall, and if Athanar brought more or less as many, that would make it thirty. Which I find a reasonable count.

I guess I didn't realize there were that many men in Eodwine's court, since they're almost all NPC's and no one ever mentioned them that I'm aware of.

hmmm..... I actually thought it would be 24 for Faramund - but 20's okay.
As for Friduhelm, I'm going to have to put some thought into that. Maybe I'll take a peek at Stedford, too, unless someone else wants to first. I'll wait a bit.... ..... hmm.... actually I know exactly how Stedford should reply. I'd like to, if everybody's okay with that...? Last edited by littlemanpoet; 02-07-2011 at 10:38 AM. |

Elempi, did you know that Thornden addresed what's-his-name once more? Just wanted to let you know, in case you'd missed it.

lmp: if you think it's 24, then it is 24. I'm okay with it.
What is your impression of the number of soldiers Eodwine had back in the days? I've had an impression lord Athanar would have something like around 15 men with him (not more than 20 anyway, preferably less than that). Any decent sum total we could come up with would be cool for me. Also, if you have an idea for Stedford, just go for it. I think he's not anyone's character yet and you have written the most for him thus far. Quote:
 Although I'm not sure if they are on any stables as such. I think there was a post somewhere there where it was said they were behind the stables outside (or then I'm wrong) - anyway it would actually be quite lavish if lord Faramund who has something like 20+ men & their horses would have stables for over fifty just in case someone dropped in with so many men...  But that's a minor detail. So everyone, just go for it! We do have an interesting situation here in our hands...

Posted again!
Nog, let me know if I'm contradicting stuff either of us has written earlier. I keep forgetting. Also, if anything looks wrong, tell me in that case too. Still have to come up with something for the two walking catastrophes...

I'm coming up with at least 12, at most 15 under Eodwine.
I'll check out your latest post, Foley. These instant email notices are just a wee bit dicey, apparently.... It would appear Stedford has been just waiting to be asked such a question, considering how many words he spent on it! :P Last edited by littlemanpoet; 02-07-2011 at 06:52 PM. |
