I'm leaving Friday to Wednesday.

Which means I would miss a vast chunk of the Silmarillion. Oh dear. I may call a pause after all till Wednesday, if no one minds...

Ha ha ha...

Right. Decision made. The AngMod shall cling to power and after voting closes on Friday morning I shall do the write-up but announce the pause until Wednesday. Then on Wednesday I'll post the new challenge.

Is that alright with everyone?

If you don't feel able to do it, then I offer the position to Gothmog. Which I know means that, most likely, all my favourites will be summarily killed off by my return. Still, he's made some excellent contributions and perhaps deserves a wee comeback.

Ahhh *mouth watering*... Curufin and the other Cs would go in the first write up. They would all die a horrible death! But alas... I don't think I have enough time, there's an upcoming major test taking away most creativity right now. Though I'm truly flattered and might even stop trying to resist ever move you make...or maybe not!

I guess we can manage a few days without new exciting tasks to deal with.

As I said I'm really honoured by your proposal (NOT that kind of marriage-proposal thingy)...

RESULTS OF DAY FOUR (M-e)

Celegorm and Curifin were hanging about in Nargothrond, relaxing after a hectic wolf-hunt. They were whiling away the morning with a friendly debate.

"Dogs," Celegorm said, "are so much better than cats. They're loyal, and friendly! They never let you down!"

Huan barked happily.

"That's as may be," said Curufin, "but you have to admit they're quite thick."

Huan suddenly collapsed through a cunningly contructed trap into a vat of extremely hot boiling oil. His yelps grew louder, then, at length, ceased.

"He lasted some time," noted Tevildo the Prince of Cats, sauntering in. He had the ability to talk whenever some serious gloating needed to be done. Curufin had bribed him from the dark side by use of a potion, called in the Elvish tongue Whiskas...

RESULTS OF THE CHALLENGE

Tevildo had a weakness. He loved to be stroked from his neck to the base of his tail by beautiful, dark haired Elven maids. This meant that Luthien quickly won his assistance.

With the help of the ruthlessly resourceful Prince of Cats, Beren and Luthien's quest was a great success. Unfortunately Finrod still died, Daeron still vanished, Celegorm and Curufin still got thrust from Nargothrond, and mostly things fell out as you might expect. However, Tevildo-as cats will tend to-completely stole the limelight.

He persuaded Draugluin and all the wolves of Sauron to try eating Dragon, with predictable results. He sat out the fight between Celegorm, Curufin, Beren, and luthien, then scratched Celegorm's horse when it was clear who was going to win.

At the taking of the Silmaril, Tevildo persuaded Arien-a cat-lover-to help rescue the fleeing love-birds. But the cat was by now a double-agent for Curufin, his services re-ensured by Whiskas, and after beren and Luthien's marriage, he attempted to steal back the Silmaril. Unfortunately his nine lives had run out and Beleg-a dog-person-caught and drowned him.
