Shall we get that going soon?

I was hoping to have this game wrapped up by the end of October. Would that be a possibility?

As long as the Orcs are ready to start the battle, then we can start that as soon as possible. Getting this game finished by the end of October sounds good. My next post will be getting the battle started. Orcs - let me know if you need to make any more posts. I'll put a Save up before my post beginning the battle, if need be.

My post should be up by tomorrow, at the latest.

So what is going to happen to the elves in Ost in Edhil ..... ? Bit confused is flight still and option or is it fighting only?

The citizens were told to evacuate...but too late. In a very fluid timeframe, Celebrimbor made his announcement, and now my next post will be early the next morning, even before dawn, when the army attacks. Most of the Elves that intended to flee have not had the chance to. So, they're trapped. If you post about your character fleeing during the day, then you may. Or you can have her be among those trapped. It's up to you, even though I don't yet have any specific plans for any evacuees.

Depressing things can be morbidly amusing.

On another note, I will have a post prepared soon enough, and then it will be...posted. I'll tie some things up that I wanted to (if they can be fit in coherently), and then I'll bring Angoroth and the Army up to speed on the commencement of the siege/battle.

I'm afraid that during the writing of my post I came up with an idea for pulling your character into the story with Maegisil, through placing him as getting stuck with 'guard duty' outside Celebrimbor's chambers. Yes, Celebrimbor is going crazy. Of course, I can change this very easily, just thought it might be fun. Is that okay with you, or would you like me to change it?

This part of the plot was never going to be cheering.....

Alright - it has been mentioned that the Dwarves have been invited to join with the Elves for battle if they wish.
