I'm thinking it will be a little after noon now.

The search parties will continue for a a few more hours, then regroup for the night. Guards will be set along the perimeter of the group; the wounded cared for. Then early the next morning the now swollen group will set off - heading north and east.

The Orcs will most likely not be following after. Sauron's plan was to push westward from Eregion toward Lindon, destroying what he could along the way.

That's not to say there won't be a minor skirmish of some sort . . .

Do I need to fix my post, then? I don't particularly wish to, but if it's necessary, then I can. I thought, from your post, that we were going to be leaving, but if not. . .I can go back and change what the elf said to Bror.

Just leave your post as is -- I'll have Skald tell you that the elf misspoke - that he was acting on information that had since changed.

How's that sound?

Sounds good to me, as long as you or Envinyatar don't mind. I am generally alright with changing posts. . .but yesterday's just wasn't working well for me and I didn't want to have to mess with it again. Thanks a lot.

A change of plan works for me to since Losrian prepared for a move that doesn't seem to have happened .... but maybe I need to take another look..

My SAVE is filled.

If it's not too much trouble, could someone have one of the search parties pick up Maegisil and the refugees he has gathered. They could have run into Maegisil and the scouts, and they would have taken them back to take the refugees with them... Elrond (or someone) can wish to speak with Maegisil, or they can simply grab him and run. Either way.

If it would be better/easier if I simply did a post with the above happening, just let me know.
