I've left a SAVE - I'll get us Dwarves heading out to Ost-in-edhil after about a week or so's recuperation time.

Folwren, Pio, Boro, and Arestevana - you can do follow-ups if you wish about arriving in the city.

How does that sound?

Maegisil's wife, correct? Perhaps Cainenyo's wife Alassante could spot them together and finally understand why Cainenyo's running off all the time . . .

Filled in my save. Did I do alright? I'm not sure if Viss would actually be there, but I'm assuming that if they're in the Stonecut Halls, it's probably his home and since it is his son after all...well, tell me what you think, you other dwarves.

Sounds fine to me. At least, it does as long as it remains an 'if you wish', beause I am not very good at writing the parts about arriving in cities and I might decide that I don't want to and leave it to some one else. We'll see, I guess.

Will the Orcs be following this time jump too? Or are we still just sort of on our own schedule?

Kath - the battle is finished; your character is still alive (at least, no one wrote his death...). I finished the Orcs off with their retreat. I should tomorrow have a post up for arriving back in camp; feel free to jump in, recounting your character's experiences in the battle etc once you've caught up.

Nice to have you back.

The Orcs will be following this time jump also. The whole game is jumping ahead, and we're bringing everyone together. We're moving on to the year 1697, bringing us to the siege of Eregion itself. The Orcs will all still be around, just now part of a much larger force - an entire army. CaptainofDespair's character is the leader of that force, and will tell us about it in his post(s).

Folwren

Using Viss was a good move. Your post was well done.

-------------------

Pio

Do you want to write the entry into the city itself?

Then Folwren, if you want, you can post something about Bror's thoughts about the city - has he ever been there?

-------------------

I think then we (the Dwarves) should leave the Lorien Elves with the Mirdain and hie it back to our own homes. Don't you think? We'll want to make sure our own preparations against Sauron and his minions are well in place.

When the time jump is made, we can decide then if we want our characters in the Elven city or whether we will continue our guerilla warfare tactics against them from the rear.

I do recall Tolkien writing that at the end, when Elrond and his troops have arrived too late to save the city, but have managed to round up a number of survivors, that Sauron and his army attack them viciously. Elrond and company's retreat is cut off and he and his Elves nearly killed, when King Durin III and an army of Dwarves come out of Moria and rush Sauron's army from behind. Elrond and the survivors of the Mirdain are able to flee to the area that will become Imladris. Sauron chases the Dwarves back to Moria where they seal the West Gate against him.

Ok thanks Firefoot. I'll read through properly and put a post in sometime after yours. How many orcs were lost as a thought?
