Valid and good questions Alak.
As it happens, we have been 'on the road' (so to speak) for almost six days:
day one: in the tower, getting into Shelob's tunnel
day two: Shelob
day three: getting out of Shelob's lair and resting for a full day
day four: getting down to the beginning of the Morgul Road; stones; army
day five: escaping the army resting all day; moving on
day six: dawn is approaching as we fight the orcs
This means that the date is now 21st March. The army of the West is upon the northern fringes of Ithilien. Yesterday (just after we got on the Path) Aragorn and commanders of the West fired the fields of deadly flowers about Minas Morgul (so if we had just pressed ahead instead of heading for the path. . .)
We have indeed gone a bit off the planned timeline for the game, but never fear, with the extra few days granted us by Pio I intend to get us to the 25th.
For the time being, however, the fight with the orcs should continue. Despite the heroic sacrifice of Morgoroth, there are still plenty of enemies. . .
