CaptainofDespair: Quite a dramatic post, and an ingenious idea by Morgoroth to fell Shelob. Still, I think that perhaps ripping out four legs is a bit much, even for an Elf of Morgoroth's undoubted might. Could I perhaps ask that you edit the post down to just one leg being taken out of the old girl? Perhaps the leg that has already been wounded by Sam (the one without its claw)? Thanks.
And one more note: the company is no longer in a passage or a tunnel but in a huge chamber that stretches away in a circle on all sides. Let's say it's about the size of a small football field (that is, American football, NFL style -- not the more spacious and enjoyable CFL sized field, or the real football (soccer)
)
Perky: Thanks for writing with the game to this point, and I'm sorry you have to pull out. I quite agree with your comments about Dorim's death!
Everyone: The current battle with Shelob will continue until Monday morning EDT when there shall be a bit of new development. So get in there and swing away!
