Lonely Star: Fanfiction/RPG discussion

[Mithadan]

Very impressive! But did I miss something? Where is Bird?

My only hesitation is the lack of tension through the time Kali is found. Also it places Tuor and Idril in the position of: (1) lying; and (2) effectively consigning Pio to her death. This is uncomfortable. Finally, is there enough time for the crew to develop the degree of dedication and emotion which they feel for one another?

These issues can be worked through. Perhaps Child somehow receives the message about the Hobbits in trouble and enlists the aid of Pio, Mith, Bird, et al. Mith's ship becomes the Lonely Star and Kali has the crystal, etc. No need for Tuor and Idril in the Fourth Age.

Or, we return to the idea of wrongdoing as in the RPG and as you initially proposed. Because Kali has the crystal, the obstacle of 'how did a man/Elf get it' is eliminated.
