In a dangerous situation, people's brains often go into a more basic mode than usual: essentially, more acting and less thinking occurs. To reflect this shift, an authors can write in three different styles: first, he or she can use a stream of consciousness mode, for that would follow the entirety of the character's thoughts and actions in the order and duration that they occur. Second, the author could write less eloquently to signal this shift from thinking to acting. This would involve using small words and shorter sentences, because the character simply would not have the time nor put in the effort to make the language flow. Third, he or she could speed the style of writing up in an effort to communicate the adreneline rush the character would assumedly experience in a dangerous situation aad the fast pace at which the mind and body would be traveling.
What is the place value for Egyptian hieroglyphics?
I guess you are asking about ancient Egyptian numbers. They did not use a "place value" numeric system, which is why they had no need for a "zero" in their numbers.
Think about the modern European/American system: starting from the right, the columns indicate units, then tens, then hundreds, then thousands and so on, but always using the same set of numbers from 0 to 9 no matter which column you look at.
The ancient Egyptians used completely differenthieroglyphs to indicate units (1 to 9), tens, hundreds, thousands; their numbers could be written from right to left, or left to right, or vertically downwards - and still mean exactly the same numeric value. For us, 15769 is not the same thing as 96751, but in the Egyptian system the "1" would always mean 10,000, the "5" would always mean 5,000 and so on, because of the signs used to write them.

How many glyphs were there in the hieroglyphic alphabet?
There were over 5,000 glyphs used at some point or other during the history of hieroglyphic writing in Egypt, of which 700-800 were in common use during the classical Middle Egyptian period.
Most Egyptian glyphs represented either whole words, ideas, or combinations of sounds, but a small number were used to write single consonants, and these constitute the so-called "hieroglyphic alphabet". Middle Egyptian had 24 or 25 separate consonant sounds (depending on whether one distinguishes the sounds transliterated 'z' and 's', which had been separate in Old Egyptian), and several of these had alternative glyphs, yielding an alphabet of 29 separate symbols.
The "alphabet" used to write foreign names in inscriptions such as the Rosetta Stone consisted of this list plus symbols for 'o' and 'l', which were not written in native Egyptian words.

Did the Aztecs use hieroglyphics?
Aztec writing uses simplified images of recognisable things to produce a kind of rough approximation of Aztec words - it does not spell out actual words and is not considered to be a complete writing system.
Although some people describe the Aztec system as "hieroglyphic", it certainly does not work like Egyptian hieroglyphs, which are a complete and effective method of accurately writing language.
Aztec scribes could each decide how they wanted to write the words in their text, often using pictures of things that only sounded similar to the word they wanted to express, or puns on other words. For example the picture of a mountain (tepetlin Aztec) could be used for tepe in words that have nothing to do with mountains. The place-name Coatzinco (pace of little snake) was written with the sign for snake (coatl) and the picture representing buttocks (tzintli), since this sounded similar to the word -tzin, meaning little (the place name ending -co was not written at all).
It is perhaps better to call such a system "glyphs" rather than hieroglyphs.
