Here again is the outline for the RPG. We should get going soon to stumble into the mist or what-not.

Outline for The Fall of Greenwood the Great:

Once the elves have gathered by the riverside and Arien gives the go-ahead, Ceros will lead the fellowship into the forest.

A few days into the trek (which will be summed up in one post) we start a fire and attract spiders—though we don’t know they’re spiders—and Airelome goes to investigate and doesn’t return. The fellowship goes to search for him and are attacked.

**Spiders: It is the multiple spawn of Shelob that infests Greenwood during the infestation of the Necromancer. I’m going to assume that the spawn of Ungoliant was present in Greenwood, but extremely rare. Therefore the company can believe that giant spiders are a myth until they are proven wrong.**

Then we begin our journey towards the south of Mirkwood—Dol Guldur.

Four days after they loose Airelome, a black mist covers the forest with its net that even the elves cannot see through and they stumble into a spider's lair...

After their escape they come upon a river, rushing too fast for any to swim and to wide for any to jump. They must find a way to get across...

On the other side awaits darker things that were not able to cross the river into the brighter parts of the realm. They are immediately attacked by orcs...

After a narrow defeat, they find sanctuary in a cave before torrential, black rains pound the forest. This floods the river and causes more problems for the elves that they circumvent only just...

They are now very close to Dol Guldur. It is now only a matter of days...

We will decide when the time comes what they find or do not find at Dol Guldur.

If you want to add some more obstacles for us to encounter post your idea here and either Arien or I will approve and add it to the Outline.

Eladain Moruviel: Whatever you want to do.
