A lot of action today, and I'm very pleased. I can't hardly wait to see what will happen next. I will put up a save for both Adelard and Marcho that I will fill in within 24 hours. Great job, everyone!

Alak and everyone - My save is filled in.

Kransha - I've used your character to get Harold out of a jam. Please let me know if I should edit in any way. I wanted to use this incident to have Harold pay a visit to Kalimac after the action is done. He will apologize for his earlier actions and say thanks for Kalimac's brave deed.

Alak, Kransha, and everyone,

I was wondering if we could use Harold's apology as a way to open discussion of the "land" issue. Harold could explain to Kalimac that the thing underneath that's bothering him is how much he loves the land, how it's the center of his life, yet he's never had a piece to call his own. Harold could say he knows it isn't Kalimac's fault -- that's just the way things are. He'd like things to change, but he doubts that will happen in his life. But sometimes it gets to him. Marcho could even be standing near and overhear some of their conversation. Then Kalimac and Marcho can go off on their own and begin thinking about what Harold has said, and wonder if other Harfoot Hobbits feel the same way.

What do you think?

Everyone:
I know I haven't posted on the RP for a while. I'm making a post for Crispin hearing (and trying to fight, but failing miserbly) the wolves. I'm going to wait for Alak to put up her post and then I'll post mine. Child may have to edit it in somewhere.

Just so you know that I didn't vanish.

Arwen,

I'll be glad to help. Just let me know where to slot it in.

I have filled in the SAVE with Adelard's attack, but I will get Marcho's heroic rescue in in the morning. This will at least give the children something with which to work. I hope Memory and Child will find their characters were used to their satisfaction, if not, I will gladly edit.

Child - Would you mind moving Melisil's last post for Alora to the bottom of post #96? I think it will fit in a little better there.

Everyone - I will be permanently taking over the part of Henry Chubb, so if anyone had prior plot arrangements made with Rutslegolas, please let me know.
