There is another option the two Istari have; that is, if they are on the verge of being swallowed up by this creature.

However, it should only be used as a last resort.

Nerindel - are you planning on having your man with the sword come in at sometime?

LMP - have you named the creature and was he originally a maiar associated with Melkor or was he corrupted from another of the Valar's people?

I think it would make for a better story if we brought this all the way through to the last resort.

I for one would like to see this carried through.

I haven't named it. Do you think I should? This is one of Melkor's own.

I've moved my post below your SAVE so that White Paw can join in.

Oh, no! From Tevildo's perspective, this is almost as bad as the shadow creature.

Save filled.

bah stuff and fluff, if I had time I would definately banish both work and the need to decorate to Mordor, then perhaps I can finally get some peace to write!!! Well anyway back on topic I have begun filling save #118

I was thinking of having our dear seerer see something that may put our young Wenda in danger a little further down the line? LMP how do feel about your shadow engulfing someone or something Wenda trusts... perhaps one of her fellow reindeer???

As for my man with the sword, I'll see what I can do. There is a decidedly more grey area to Arato and he will think a little like the thing he stalks. And the sword...hmm Well it is rumoured to have been crafted by Aule, but I am wondering how it could help.... perhaps open a fissure of some kind, maybe? well I'm open to suggestions.

Hmmmmm..... I had seen this winding down rather soon. What do you have in mind, Nerindel? How is the shadow going to get past the Mori and Stamo?
