Aman--
Love it! I'm all for your plan.
In terms of Balin never asking for directions-- it would be fun to have Thorgeleb figure out that Balin wants *no* help (maybe via discussion with Līnsie* ) and finds some clever elvish way of
leading them where they should go-- remember Haldir & friends decoying the orcs with voices? Similar deal.
Līnsie being the good buisinesswoman that she is, she'll be looking to keep her elvish customers happy. I just hope nobody calls her a traitor...
So-- ho, ho, skirmish away, lads!!! *zing* *duck* *splat*

*Līs/Līn gets tedious to write and read after a while. I like "Līnsie " better... I wonder who came up with it, her dad or Balin...
