@Smug the Fabulous - That's hilarious!
You've just made my brother give me a weird look from my quiet giggling.
I must read the Silmarillion again.
@Skip spence - That's a good idea, though I agree about the plot. I'm mainly concerned about staying true to the characters and what they'd do.
If they did rescue it and it needed...'ongoing treatment', where would they keep it? At Bag End? Or outside somewhere?
So many questions, I'm sorry.
