I believe Caemlyn is less than 300k people .... That's what .05% the size of London?

I walk 1km to get to the local shops. I've been to a university bigger than that! 10km is an upper bound, but this is still only 4% of London's area. Quite big, but the people in Caemlyn don't know the other side of the city, so it can't be too small...
Either way, it's an unreasonable amount of effort.

Mat knew his starting place, he was after all luring the thing out. Which narrows the number of possible spots even further. So what there are maybe 20 spots to choose from? Mat knew he needed to get the creature to one of the pre-determined locations. Seems simple enough to me, is Mat had been surprised bt the Golam again I would agree with you, but they had obviously planned out as close to the specific location as possible.

Yes, RJ confirmed that Shadowspawn can't survive gateways. *NM*

They prepared a place, and it just happened to be within walking distance of the attack?

Likely picked from a handful of pre-determined locations based on where and when the attack occurred

Perhaps, but I don't think so.

Not realty. Caemlyn is huge by the standards of the time but realistically it's tiny

The sizes I proposed are not huge (well, they would be by standards in the middle ages but not now)

You aren't seriously comparing modern population densities to medieval ones, are you? *NM*

That would be an error if it hadn't been Skimming (the platform and what not) they were using.

It is an error because they opened a skimming gateway to the house (from the skimming place)

I'm confused now as to what you're arguing. They knew the location of the house.

I stand corrected. Though I will say that the uses in the books don't match the definition.
