'Ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo, just reporting in. I was called away on business this morning, when I posted, and could not clarify in the Discussion Thread my post. Yes, Fordim's analysis is correct. I had to crack open my battered copy of The Return of the King to remind myself of the geography of Cirith Ungol. Based on that, Dwali, Bror, and Dorim have ascended to the second of the three levels of the tower, searching for weapons, armor, etc. They may head back down to the courtyard, but I assumed that it would be alright for some to explore the other sections, since many orcs were slain higher up, thus leaving more behind (if it's all down with Fordim, so to speak).
Perky, Himaran, yes, it's all good. The dwarves, who will obviously dislike the elves and are suspicious of the men, can revel together. All three, as I've noticed, share common pessimism. Many others seem like they might have some hope. I suggest (Fordim, forgive me for manufacturing another hardship for our band), that we dwarfy fellows become a bit more obstinate now that we have numbers. From what I see, Dorim and Dwali are both much colder and more serious after their stay in the tower. Bror can, of course, relate to this, so there is the proposition of a simple comradery (very exclusive conradery) between the trio.
