You know, I never did think about location...I took for granted that the Lorien envoy would be captured by the baddies...somewhere in the middle... The middle of what?, you may ask, and I really can't answer that. I don't know what I was thinking!

That makes perfect sense, and though, yes, it is relatively the plan we had, the few differences help to smooth out the story. Instead of the 'special forces' (okay creative minds: come up with a name!) separating from the main forces after they depart Mirkwood, they meet up before the attack, with only the main forces departing from Mirkwood (and the special forces already out on a scouting mission). Then they separate for the attack, as they draw near to Lorien, correct?

Excellent! Yes, I think there are many new possibilities. And thank you, Fordim, for that...you have solved a problem that I was not even aware of! I have found that I am quite oblivious at times...usually the hard way.

I need to get working on finishing up the proposal form, fleshing it out and correcting problems. I will soon, working around my biology project and theology paper. So, anything you see that you object to or you'd like to have more discussion on, please let me know!

So far: the second scenario for the envoy seems to be favored, but only really 2 to 1. I no longer am sure if I will vote...I believe either scenario would be fine, and the second one no longer seems as easily done, as one guard is a bit of a stretch for two ambassadors, and although I did think of NPCs, they would be a bit tricky to carry along as actual characters in such a small group. The interactions kind of demand a player for all the characters. Anyway, I hope I can get more input on it, if anyone really sees a difference. If not, we'll go with the second one.

Thanks again, everyone!
