Yay, thanks for that, really inspirative thoughts... maybe some of the flood's after-effects could take place. Especially the "uncovering" idea I find very good, I'm probably going to use it, if not now, then surely later.
All right... let's think of it (I'll "think aloud" so that you can add if you had any idea). They can pass the bridge and then go one day undisturbed (but I'll try to awake the feeling in them that there's still danger lurking around). Another day they'd have to cross a "secondary river", created by the floods - they could not pass it, so they'd have to leave the road. It could be also that the road will lead down into a valley, which would be made a small lake now. This way I'll get them off the road... and make them get lost
Then they could meet a troll or three
and be later rescued by an elf or two (healed after the battle)... hmm... Oh, and that could be a good moment when the Elves could ask them to help with Lommy's quest for lost Something. Like that their patrol-friend was lost, or just info that some athelas is around (that would be just a hook for the party members to try to find and collect it for themselves), or something like that... I have an idea of making the party having to drown into a lake for something (created by water that remained in an isolated valley); maybe even before meeting the Elves - they'd see something shiny in the lake and then they'd realize there's a dead body, and it would be the Elves' dead comrade (killed by Who-Knows-What) - but he would have a certain thing (dagger, ring, whatever) which they could either keep or give to the Elves. Anyway, after the meeting, the Elves would leave them, because they have some other job to do... they could even be Elladan and Elrohir... or just one of them... but they would show them the right direction to Rivendell... then there'll be yet some trouble before Rivendell...
And concerning the combination with the Downs' RPG storyline, there's nothing wrong with that, just I'd have to read it all through first, which, well...
It's a bit too long to read all at once.

Thanks. I thought about making an English version of it as well so that for example some Downers who were interested could look at it; but especially translating "Letopisy" ("Chronicles"), which is the main part of it (containing all adventures of our company) would take great effort to translate (and to translate them in "nicer" language would be just horrible).
I understand what you mean when speaking of seeing maps in other languages, I find it always very interesting when I see something like that (or translation of some names in other languages in general).
