Send a quick message to Talmanes and the Kin saying "go with location 14" and they are all set. This seems very straight forward.
Caemlyn is a big city. They would need to organise a lot of pre-determined locations to have any sort of coverage, which would be determined by how far Talmanes was prepared to lead the gholam. I would guess the he wouldn't try for more than 100 metres/yards. How many places would they need to give that sort of coverage across the city? If it is 1km across, then 100 locations. 10km, then 10,000 locations. Too many.
An annoying gateway error.

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

And then BS confirmed that gholam are "more perfected" Shadowspawn which can.

Why would them not being able to survive a gateway be a problem?

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

Please re-read the chapter. It expalins a lot.

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)

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

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.
