Bloodstained Elanor Planning/Discussion Thread

[piosenniel]

Bringing this forward:

OUTLINE OF THE GAME:

• Army prepares to march from Dol Guldur (day 1) DONE
• Mirkwood scouts discover army (day 1), and, as it begins to march toward Lorien, they decide to follow (day 2 – 3) DONE
• Lorien envoy is on their way to the Woodmen (days 1 – 3), a good ways outside Lorien on day 1 DONE
• Envoy crosses path of army (the two are heading in opposite directions, and it is hard to avoid a large army), and are captured (day 3) DONE
• Small force breaks off to take the captives back to Dol Guldur (day 3) DONE
• Mirkwood scouts, following, are able to ambush (night day 3) this force and rescue the captives DONE
  
  
  
• The scouts learn of the plans: a special force will attack from another direction and assault Caras Galadon (day 4)
• The elven party races back to Lorien from the north at the greatest possible speed – the trolls slow the baddies down (days 4 – 7)
• When they arrive (night day 9), the battle is about to begin:
  When the army reaches the Anduin around mid-day on the 9th day, they stop to put up the floating bridges. They plan to begin the attack soon after dawn the next day. The Mirkwood scouts + Lorien envoy reach the borders of Lorien a little before dusk, and reach Caras Galadon soon after dusk. A council of war then follows during the night.
• The plan of the special force is foiled, and the entire army retreats (day 11)
