Rossielantiel, I'm so glad you're back!

How do you feel about Dineniel rejoining the brigands? We could definitely use her skills and it would make things a bit smoother. Or, she could try joining up with Remdil and his rescue operation, but I don't know how likely he'd be to trust her...
It's just that I don't want half a dozen plots going at the same time; it's messy and hard to keep track of and the more groups of people there are wandering around, the more splintered (to use Belin's word) it gets. Also, to have Dineliel wandering around by herself limits her possibilities because she won't be interacting with any of the other characters. So, unless everyone wants to do some recruiting to get Dineniel her own gang to go after the Silmaril themselves, I'd rather not have anyone by him- or her-self.

Actually, the idea of having two separate groups going after the same thing isn't a bad one. It could be like a race.

Rereading this, I realise it seems a bit self-contradictory. All it really boils down to is, yes, Dineniel can stay away from all the existing groups of people if you want, but at the same time, I'd rather not have her alone by herself.
