[Child of the 7th Age]

Ancalmon is going back to the Star. He will not stay in the tombs.

Also, here are some other ideas helen had. Since she'll be away, I wanted to make sure people saw this.

Phura will be commandeering the group from the Smithy. Loremaster will be masterminding the escape down to the river from the main cave, directing groups of children and the few remaining old folks. Phura and Gamba's children will be notably un-directed! No Esta, no Azraph! Could you take them? Please? Kesha will be fighting, but Roka, Asta, Ban, and Maura will be at a loss.

The sequence will go like this: Phura & co will go to the Smithy and bring out the visors and cheekpieces. (Mith's extra collection of Lonely Star daggers are a;lready available, perhaps?) Then they come back to the main cave, extinguish all the candles except the one in the Study and one in Azraph's fahter's annex, and do in all the guards in the main cave. Simlutaneously, the raids on the tool closets are happening, expecting the influx of guards from the outer doors and openings.

During all of this time, the children have been hopefully huddled in their alcoves, but a few are bound to get loose...

Meanwhile the assault on the locks is underway.

Phura is keeping the road clear from the Locks to the main cave. Tuka & co are keeping the graveyard entrance clear; Gamba was supposed to be keeping the entrance to the new tombs clear, up by the locks, but that's been delegated to... ah... how about Kima and Mika, the twins? Or Corby, the smith?

Me: Does this jive with what Mith said?

Also, surprise, the hobbits will be going to 3320 Second Age. See my latest post. I see no other way to interpret the early clues in our story! Anorien, here we come.....
