Hello, thank you for reaching out to me and for moving this to the OOC chat.
I do not agree with you on the statement that the shockwave from the cruiser would encompass the entire city and its outskirts. The size of both of these are not clearly defined and I assume that part of the cause for this vagueness is to maximize writer freedom.
In addition, when reading your third paragraph, it looks to me like you view the field of battle as a straight line where someone who is in the city will be the furthest away from the shockwave. That view differs from mine. The way I view the outskirts of a city has more dimensions. The way I see it, outskirts tend to lay around the entire city and not only on one side of it. This means that we can be further away from the shockwave than the characters you mentioned.
Furthermore, I would like to point out that we are more than likely not where the concentration of Bryn forces is the highest. Early on, we established that our force was intercepting the force controlled by Argaloth. We have kept the number of troops relatively modest and we have not described a larger battle happening in our immediate vicinity which would have been natural if we were indeed near where the highest concentration of Bryn forces are.
With this said, I believe that the best path for us would be to maintain the current trajectory of our story. I believe it makes sense from both a logical and a narrative standpoint.
Thank you, once more for reaching out. I hope you find my perspective agreeable, if not, I would be glad to continue discussing the matter with you.
