Folwren,

I put up a new post because I erased my save by mistake.

Please look at how I've handled this. I wasn't sure if you wanted to respond. If you want to say anything, I can edit the end of my post. Just let me know.

Durelin: I really liked you post with Khamir but you said he was going to consult Beloan who was instructing the archers as I had said in Hadith's post earlier that Hadith was going to the planning of the foot soldiers led by Beloan and Joshwan...

I thought that because those of the fellowship seemed to be more ranged attackers than melee-guys. That's why I thought Beloan would be needed in that counseling of the foot soldiers (who would in the end bear the worst brunt of the attack and have to involve themselves with the attack man to man).

I might change my post or you should change yours: Beloan can't be in two places at the same time?

Which one seems more plausible to you?

Regin: I hope my post was near to what you thought of... If I have made something wrong, please inform me.

Now you have the tent open... If you do not write anything in a few days, I'll be going forwards with it, but surely it's now your turn.

Ah, sorry Nogrod. I remember we mentioned briefly on the Discussion Thread that Beloan might lead the archers, and I neglected thinking about what I had read elsewhere.

I imagined the ex-slaves as more likely to be skilled with bows than with any swords, as they would be focused on survival, and thus using bows to kill prey. But I imagine plenty of them have knives...it's just that knives against what the slavers have seems like it wouldn't work.

Really, either one works, though. They aren't all necessarily going to be able to use bows. Beloan can lead a melee group and someone else could lead the archers, or the other way around...we just have to think of who...

I'll have to wait to edit my post till tomorrow, anyway. I just spend five hours in a room full of smoke and my head is not working properly (bingo at my school, as a fundraiser...all the old people show up and smoke the whole time). Sorry! Let me know what you think is best. If you want, just go with whatever is easier to edit. Most likely that will be my post.

Everyone else can share opinions if they'd like.
