Pio,

The post I just posted should probably go before the one that you put a save up for, seeing as it evidently happens just a little while after the vote is cast. If you could fix that up, that'd be great.

Will do!

I'll just move mine.

Aman - Gorgeous, gorgeous post. Just one problem: Celebrimbor said his speech from atop the stairs of the palace, rather than doing the traditional balcony thing. Think "Friends, Romans, countrymen" and perhaps you can picture it better, since I had a hard time describing the scene, really.

Also, I mentioned in my most recent post that Maegisil sent a guard to find Narisiel and inform her of the arrival of Angoroth. Unfortunately, though, the meeting turns out to be shorter than Maegisil expected, as the *dark one* has decided to depart before Narisiel can make it to the palace. Sorry...it's as *the dark one* wanted.

So either the message can reach you too late, or I can get rid of the mention of it in my post. It's up to you.

Alrighty-o. I have posted, yet again. The parley was kept short, so as not to slow things down with the tediousness of a Celebrimbor-Angoroth back and forth battle of...wits?

Do inform me of any changes that should be made, as I have typed this with a sense of tiredness upon me. So, it may not be all that coherent.

I will put it into a second post when I am able to write one. Likewise the edits.

I'm unsure on the course of things at present. Well, not the course of things just now, but what they will be shortly - concerning the Dwarves.

We've set it up in our Halls that we're going to be escourting the women and children out through the mountain. But if that's the case, I'm thinking that we're going to have to start doing that as soon as possible. We don't want to wait until the black army is surrounding the place and they're under siege. That's not very logical.

Another question - is our mission going to work, or is everyone going to be killed? I understand that somehwere in all this, Elrond is coming in, but at the same time, he's going to be too late for the city.

As you can probably tell, I'm completely confused. Pio can probably answers best, seeing as she's taking care of a Dwarf, too. Can you explain, for the Dwarves part?

Folwren

I've left Skald getting drunk in the kitchen . . . if you wish, little brother can come in and ask what the heck's going on.

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

I'm not too sure what the Dwarves are supposed to be doing. I do know that when Elrond arrives, the forces of Sauron have almost destroyed the city and that a great number of them turn on Elrond's forces and attack. The Dwarves rush out of Khazad-dum and attack Sauron's forces from behind.

This gives Elrond and his group time to gather what refugees there are and make for the area that will be Rivendell. the Dwarves battle Sauron's army and retreat as they do so back into the mountain, firmly shutting the Gate against any intrusion of Sauron's men and creatures.

What does anyone else think?
