I hope my post was alright...though I had thought that Falco had gone first and then Thoronmir...I took some liberties describing where the tunnel led out...

I'm sorry it took me so long to post...

I must say Imladris, your quite discriptive. I absolutely love your writing!!

Then again I love all of your guys writing. Thats very touching Lumiel, our characters have never really interacted, perhaps they will more now that its come close to the end of things.

I feel embarrased but did Thoronmir really have some underlying meaning, if so I'm assuming he implies the Dark Queen's resurgence when the time needs it (possibly to confront the Master, if we make it there alive) or is it something else I'm just not getting? Eswen's gonna kick some butt!

She nodded once. Falowik could not tell if she had understood any special meaning from Thoronmir's words. He could not imagine what the Ranger had been talking about. As they took their turns shinnying up the pipe, Falowik wondered what they would find.

I agree with Eswen. Exactly what did I mean?

Many thanks, Eswen!

Cheers,
Imladris

Hee hee! Sorry for the confusion. Menel, please tell me if I'm not using your character the way you want. Heaven forbid! Anyway, Thoronmir isn't exactly sure what he means either, but he does remember how Eswen did her Dark Queen thing before. Of course, he remembers Lumiel doing her dread madElfwoman thing, too, so if I was really consistent, I should have had him say something to her about that. So let's just say that Thoronmir had a moment's foreboding that this dark lord might turn out to be a tougher customer than any they've faced yet, and in ways that could prove beyond the ability of sword, dagger, arrow and whatnot to deal with.

I hope I've given enough description for anybody to feel like they can take the lead with this thing, especially because I'm going to a writers festival for three days, and may not get a chance to do anything.

So here's what's to be discovered by anyone - beyond which, do what you like. Eodwine is NOT going to be found among the other prisoners. I expect our group to take out the guards and free the prisoners without much difficulty, and with the knowledge (limited) that the prisoners are able to provide, to know exactly how many guards there are, and where, and what is to be expected regarding Eodwine.

Eodwine has been taken to the temple, which means he's in for it, this night. The Master is going to be leeching him and saving his blood. Please write as far as you like, getting to the temple, but don't enter it until I've set it up, if you don't mind. I have definite plans and ideas scurrying around in my brain on this, and I hope you will find it worth the wait. Heck, I'm excited. This is going to be - well - spine tinglingly awesome! (i hope)

Anyway, have the party scour out the place or whatever you like. Just remember, it's pouring rain, and there's no sign of the storm letting up. Have fun!

When we get to the temple, would you mind if I didn't go through the main entrance (which is sure to be a disaster) but instead tried breaking down the wall, climbing in through the roof, things like that? That could do things like:

A) Surprising whoever's inside.

B) Avoiding the Master's super-elite guards lying in wait by the door, as well as the booby-trapped hallway of DOOM or whatever else is in store.

C) Causing some confusion by coming in from several different directions

Anyway, it's just some random thought that occurred to me at one point. If this interferes with the plot, I'd be perfectly happy to forget it though.

Imladris,
Would you mind doing another Gorby post? Frankly I have no idea what to make the growling creature be!

Hopefully it isn't too scary-looking or all Anson's courage may disappear. Then again he might be astoundingly brave... Or then again maybe it isn't a 'monster' at all.

Thanks!
