Good question. . .hmmmm. . .my first real poser as a Game Owner (still love the sound of that).

I had thought that we might use the better part of the first week of the game to get familiar and poke about the Tower so there is no plan to shift ahead soon. The immediate plan is for us to establish some of these interesting conflicts. In a few days (is it OK to leave it that unfixed in stone?) we will move through the Under-Door and into Shelob's Lair. If a week is too long to hang about in the Tower, let me know and we will head out sooner than that.

The one thing we need to work in, to keep it all canonical so that Pio and Child do not do me any harm, is to have some mention of the main gate collapsing (remember when that happened when Frodo and Sam escaped?) I was thinking that as the last of the group comes into the cellars once more we'd hear a crash and then look out to see the arch in ruins.

Note to everyone, though -- Nobody's allowed to see Sam and Frodo running about, or to interact with them in any way. The Mods would definitely have something to say about that!
