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

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

No, I'm not depressed, but the story itself is depressing. I might be depressed after I read everybody's posts about terror and destruction, but I'm not sad yet.

Pio and Arry,

Speaking as a little brother - I'll stay if Skald does.

Actually, Arry, even though that's the case, I think we may be able to be in a lot of excitement if we keep our Dwarves with the elves and the fighting. So, I would like to stay. But I don't want to be there all by myself.

I'd like it if Skald stays to fight with Bror.

But, Folwren - can you write about how you want to stay first? Then Arry can have an angsty moment, torn between his little brother and his older.

Yeah, I can do that.

Will have it up shortly...

EDIT: Okay, it's done. Clumsily handled, I'm afraid. I didn't know how to put all the emotions that were passing through his head into words. I wish I were a better writer. It was all very vivid in my mind, you know? Oh well. There you go, Arry. I'm looking forward to seeing your post.

Quick note... my SAVE of 10/14 is filled in.

And excellent writing thus far, everyone!

Great post, Arry!

Envinyatar,

How long are the elves and dwarves going to sit in that one place? Are they staying there that night, or continuing on? How far is it until they come to the black army? They never reach it to the city, do they?

And, in time reference to the beginning of the siege against the city, where are we? Is it the evening before the beginning that Durelin and the Captain have written about? Or is it later that day? Or is it some other time?

If you don't know all these answers, perhaps Durelin or Pio will know.

Once there is a post that the city is attacked - then we can post, say, one post . . . one vague-ish sort of post, of the now combined forces moving toward the city.

I've made it a nebulous X number of days that we are now from the Jewelsmiths.

We won't actually join the fight until the city is overrun by Sauron's army and and what refugees there are are fleeing.

I'm hoping that either CaptainofDespair or Durelin will let us know here on the Discussion thread that this has happened - then we'll launch our attack against Sauron's forces as they turn to destroy us.

At that point, Riv and Dwarven King and all should attack from the rear and draw off the atack against us.
