Rosseil, I can see that you and I have a lot in common. What I find myself doing is taking out some of my crying time and using it to write RPG posts. I recommend it highly [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. The twitching seems to be absolutely necessary, however....

As to your very good question about the future plot, I had a plan which went as follows.

As Lenilos, Carathon, Livia, and Hithduiniel go west (they've decided to take Livia home, Remdil, Eolinda, Dineniel, and the boy are riding east. Meanwhile, the brigands ride off in search of the Silmaril, behaving quarrelsomely. Eventually, they get to a cottage that's unmistakably that of Beren and Luthien and discover that it's all abandoned and cobwebby. They're not pleased. They set upon each other, quarrelsomely.
Whoever's left plunders the cottage and carries off what they find.

While this is going on, the other two groups meet up, purely by accident. Tearful reunion. Lenilos wants to go home. Hithduiniel runs off, since she wants to go west instead. She's stopped, however. Maybe she can have a nice talk with Dineniel. Everyone, in the words of Mithadan, is happy or sad and goes home. Where exactly home is, for some of these characters, is still a question of interpretation, and I could see it leading to a sequel, if the significant participants were so inclined.

Feel free to comment, criticize, or (better yet) suggest revisions.

Also: Childlike Empress, I have decided to edit my post so that I steal one horse (previously, I wasn't stealing any), so that's how many the girls have brought. Hithduiniel unfortunately refuses to ride it, though.

All right, on to the end! This should be exciting....
