Allrighty -- time is about to jump forward a bit.

I will put in a post of my own (sometime today) that will move time forward from the morning of the 16th, to the evening of the 17th of March. In this time, the company will contend with Aldor's 'fainting spell' and take some rest. We should probably then debate what to do and where to go -- Grash will be making a proposal and I hope that there will be some responses to it!

The game is, so far as I can tell, about half over now (Pio?), and while we've got a lot of ground to cover, we are pretty much on schedule. Still, that having been said, we should begin to get out of Mordor! With that in mind, I will give everyone until the weekend to wrap up the current scenario, respond to Grash's proposal and interact with each other, before we must get moving off this ledge and into the mouth of Morgul Vale. . . [Insert Ominous Music Here]

One Last Thing: I do have plans for the company, but if anyone has ideas for the rest of the game, PM me with them -- my mind is always open to suggestions.

Hmm. Fordim, we have cross-posted: would you mind reposting yours beneath mine, please?

Thanks to our dauntless Mod for the info.

OK -- so my newest post is up, and Grash has put forward his proposal. Please react to it, and interact with each other. Also, we should get moving.

Could the next few posters accomplish the following (please, though, don't do it all yourself in one post -- let those who come after move things along).

The company will decide to wait for full night before going, and that we will do all our travelling at night, laying low during the day.

We need to gather up our few supplies and make ready to leave.

We need to head south along the narrow path toward the Morgul Vale.

Someone might feel a slight unease, as though we are being watched.

Someone might actually catch a fleeting glimpse of shadowy forms scurrying about amid the rocks below the path, as though they are following the company.

On Friday I will put up a post that will finish off whatever on this list needs to be done, and bring us to the beginning of the Morgul Road where the company shall face it's first obstacle along that terrible road. . .

EDIT -- Done and done, Aman. Just one thing about your post, however, you mention that the company is in a tunnel, but we are actually out on a high ledge. Not a big deal, but I am such a stickler for details. . .

Blame Pio: she sets such a high standard!
