pio, I love the way we contradictorily answered at the same time...
Main points of conflict - size and nature of the settlement. I was thinking, how are 7000 men to be recruited if the centre is a village of a few hundred? But pio, your reference to the Atlas is helpful. Shall we compromise...?
The time...pio is right to point out about the hunters in the late afternoon...but I think I said the envoys arrived in the morning? Argh. No matter, some time may have elapsed, let it be afternoon indeed.
Ho hum!
EDIT: Alas, pio, there was no need to vanish your post...I liked it a lot...I shall summarise its contents as best I remember
-Small settlement
-Late afternoon
-News travels quickly
-Ulfings have settled only for 15 years
-Probably rather fewer Ulfing sin general than I envisaged
