4 trips is too many, Pio. Why don't we take out the ship on the river first, per your last suggestion (we sail it back cutting the trip in half, then scuttle it, keeping the pigeons or use it to bring Cami and Rose back up the river). Then we bring Cami and Rose to the caverns.
There is one other trip Pio has to make - that's the one tomorrow game day (13 Cermië) where she goes upriver to the caverns to check on Daisy and Bird, and winds up talking logistics of the rescue to the HLF (Hobbit Liberation Front)general meeting.

I suppose also that since we are later taking Cami and Rose upriver by skiff or liberated ship, Pio had better scout someway of getting us all in there. I do know the Siril comes out of springs that originate deep within Meneltarma, so we should be able to get fairly close. This should work also for the rescue ships - we should be able to bring the line up very close to the entrance to the caverns.

Once Pio returns from the HLF meeting- which should be early a.m. 14 Cermië - let the poor Elf rest a few hours - then if you'ld like, we can head upriver for a little cord and blade hit-and-run! (Pio is looking forward to this!).

I like the idea of using the ship to go back upriver with Cami and Rose. We can't take it up all the way (even the lackadaisical prison guards would hardly miss something as large as a ship sailing up to the cave entrance) - so we'll either have to walk part way or take a smaller skiff most of the rest of the way in - there will stll be some walking involved.

We should probably take Ancalimon with us on this trip to stand watch on the abducted ship until we get back. yes/no?!
