I cannot express how pleased I am with the characters so far.

ArwenBaggins and Melisil - I think you both did very well with incorporating the other characters' dialogues in your first posts, so don't worry about them.

Regin Hardhammer - I loved Harold's introspection and he asked some great questions toward the end that should leave the reader wondering the same things. Nice Job.

Crystal Heart - Please check your PMs.

Kransha - Good job on picking up on the Estella link. I will provide a small description of her soon, so she can become a carry-along that will link the families.

Fordim Hedgethistle - I'm still chuckling over Fordogrim. I can the party would have their hands full with him. Well done.

rutslegolas - Henry's presence could be very interesting, especially working his grimness into the conflicting feelings about going. Do you see him as being a little rebelious? Might he give a little trouble on the road? Also, I need you to rework your first post a bit. Henry is at the speech, but he should have no idea that his family is going yet. You should be able to do this rather easily. If you have any problems, feel free to PM me and we work on it.

Witch_Queen and Regin Hardhammer - We have a bit of a conflict here. I generally intended for the Chubbs to have feelings against going on the journey, however, if both of your characters were accepted, we would have a husband who was against it, and a wife ready to go. Now my first instinct was to ask Witch_Queen to change it, but I think if you both worked with it and made the dispute part of the plot...it could really work. However, if you would rather not play quarrelling partners, then I would rather you both be against going. I will let you decide, just let me know what's going on.

Melisil - I forgot about one minor detail. In the first paragraph of your first post, you've written that the meeting was held in the afternoon. Do you mind to change that to Mid-morning? Just so we're consistent.

Now, as Pio posted toward the top, I will not be making a final decision on characters just yet. I will leave it in the air for a couple of days just to be fair to anyone who has just seen the game.

Here are the characters applied for so far (This is mainly for my use):

Whitfoots

1. Kransha – Kalimac Whitfoot (father) 49
2. Crystal Heart – Erowen Whitfoot (mother)
3. Melisil - Alora Whitfoot (child) 7
4. ArwenBaggins - Crispin Whitfoot (child) 12

Chubbs

1. Regin Hardhammer – Harold Chubb (father) 46
2. Witch_Queen - Sarah Chubb (Mother) 45
3. rutslegolas - Henry Chubb (child) 19
4.
5. Fordim Hedgethistle - Fordogrim Chubb 113

The only slot not applied for is One Chubbs Child, however anyone may still apply for any of the positions.

Great job everyone!

Edited: Oh the horrors, I accidently left ArwenBaggins off the list.
