*rubs eyes* Oh, I got confused enough on Ambassador's Son when people started talking in french, and it comes back to haunt me here...
Have a nice time, Perky Ent, although I imagine it would be hard to stop you - so jealous right now!
Secondly, and regarding the game: as you will (hopefully) have noticed, there is currently a debate going on at the head of the group regarding the route - whether we are to take the quite provocative and potentially perilous path through Mirkwood, or take the longer but ultimately safer bet to go around through the pass between the Grey Mountains and Mirkwood. As these are dwarves, I have no doubt you will all have an opinion on this (dwarves generally do...), so please do join in - whether you want to get gutted by vicious elves or show them a lesson, whether you want to be sure of reaching Moria or are not happy about letting the elves think they own the world...
