I don't think Sauron gave a rip about the island. He was so focused on bringing down the mighty Edain and their King. He would have urged all the ships join in the trip West.
What would he have mustered for his own navy - several old fishing vessels? I can see him having spies about, but not ships and soldiery.
I thought we covered why Ar-Pharazon captured the hobbits (or was that just in our emails?) and we haven't worked that into the actual story as yet. Anyone know?
We are planning a hit and run on the caves - Levanto will get the hobbits ready to meet us as soon as we have landed and killed the guards (whose schedules, numbers, armaments we should know by then from his meetings with the elders). Once the hobbits are loaded, and the guards dispatched, we are immediately transporting to the Second Age, one year later than the Fall of the Isle. We will be in position then to deposit the hobbits on the small isle that is now Meneltarma, and I'm thinking (correct me if I'm wrong) that then the choosing will occur then for those hobbits who want to become hobbrim (did I get that right? Or is the choosing just before we transport them back to the Third Age - which will include the choosing, then, that Child and Rose have to do).
Bird - see Pio, she will give you a sword if you wish - she remembers how you 'loved' wielding one against the demon lover! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
