The Fellowship of the Fourth Age (Part 1): A New Beginning Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Child of the 7th Age · 01-02-2007, 05:04 AM

I am mentally working on my post...even though nothing appears yet in a little box! Just wanted to check on numbers, which have been so vexing.

I am assuming the following.... There were originally 27 slavers. About twelve were killed in the initial conflict (the ones that were totalled up earlier in the thread). Another four were taken out by Pio and Brinniel more recently. That leaves 13. Imak is badly wounded but alive. The other 12 are in good fighting shape.

Feel free to criticize and/or sharpen up my math. (I was never any good at numbers anyway!) Unless I hear otherwise, I am going ahead with the slavers on the assumption of these figures.

What I really can't tell is how many slavers are left. Presumably a number have been killed and/or injured that are not even mentioned in our thread. Can I assume we have about 25 slavers and fellowship in good fighting shape? Perhaps another 25 are injured and/or are females/children who would be hidden in the grove? If anyone has ideas on this, it would be helpful.

I've been called to jury duty tomorrow and am hoping to be dismissed. I plan to try and write out a draft of my post while I am sitting in the box as they shuffle the panel! So if something strange get mixed into the narrative, don't blame me.

I've been without a working net access at home for a while, but will get it back soon, hopefully... So sorry for not posting for a while.

Nogrod · 01-03-2007, 07:06 PM

My net access is okay now. Thank heavens for that.

I will be joining the company of my girlies

for a couple of days but will be back with more time on Monday and try to post something then.

Child: your tally looked reasonable enough with what comes to my memory of things.

Okay, I am back from my Christmas vacation.

I don't have time to read any post right now, but I'll be sure to get updated within the next few days.

Sounds as if we are slowly regrouping. I have a save up and I hope to fill it tomorrow.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 01-04-2007, 06:03 AM

Just a note that I will be out of touch Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. And mostly likely will be trying to upgrade my OS at home next weekend. *Eek*

Child, yes Carl is in good fighting shape, though a bit achy. Please feel free to mention him and his passenger if you would like.

Hilde,

Will do so...

*********
I have half my save filled. I will be putting up an additional post in the same box that describes the action from Lindir's point of view. This would give me a better chance to mention specific people by name.

By the way, I may play "fast and loose" with some characters.

If you don't like the situation I put you in for any reason, just let me know and I will edit.
