oh..I totally forgot about that town..

Thanks, guess I'm getting to old to remember every detail over the last decade :-)

I have a question about the final battle at Merrilor..

Im not sure if this is right spot..but it is a question about the battle..

Mat sends a small force along with Grady to the mouth of the river because he has a memory of how in a forgotten battle he was defeated because the enemy dammed it up and took away a strategic barrier..

He tells Grady to hide a do nothing to defend it, but rather wait till the time is right to break the dam that will inevitably be built...in affect sacrificing the small poorly trained force to initially defend it.

This makes Grady mad because those people were initially slaughtered by Demandred's forces, but he follows orders anyway.

Then, near the end of the fight the defending Dreadlords and Grady are surprised when all those dead people magically reappeared from a gateway and overran their positions which allowed Grady to break the dam and split the remain Dark One forces which ultimately contribute to turning the tide.

Grady later asks Mat how he did that, and Mat basically put him off.

Ok..question how did Mat do that..and did I just miss that in my urgency to finish the book?
