Pio - I think we are doing fairly well. What we definitely need to do is get all those saves filled in and move on. If we can get all the rescuing done and make acquaintances in the next few days, hopefully we will be left with 4 weeks for the race back and battling.
By Friday, it would be nice if at least all the prisoners were rescued and the orcs taken care of. Then the plans can be discussed, quickly.
Sometime around the end next week, we need the army to reach the River (mid-day of the 9th day), and the scouts to be nearing Lorien, to actually enter Lorien in the evening, reaching Caras Galadon late in the night.
And though it has proved to be a bit of a pain, I love the situation that developed for the rescue of the prisoners. If I sounded annoyed earlier, it was simply my frustration with myself showing, and I am really very thankful that I have such a great group of very skilled and creative RPers.
Aman - Welcome back! And yes, a wise move to wait for the chaos to die down.
