If you write about the arrival at Mount Doom, Mardil uses some of his extra cash to buy some ritzy rooms at Mount Doom's best hotel. Alli and Mardil can get into it a bit once they are there, but it doesn't have to be right away. We can argue during the "night", during the dead space between the trials- unless lmp doesn't want us to. And at one point during the journey, Roggie squeezes Mardil a bit too hard and Mardil responds by pricking his hand quite deeply with a knife coated with a slow working laxative that will hit Roggie after they've arrived at their destination. Everyone wonders why Mardil smiles so much after delivering the prick.

Okay, Durelin, we are at Mount Doom. Please go ahead and redo the trip if you'd like.

I have one more post to make to tie up the the traffic violation and hair dye loose ends, but I guess that can fall in the 'night' or at the beginning of the next challenge, depending on how lmp wants it arranged.

I love it. Tolkien is probably rolling in his grave. Only in ATM does a balrog get cast in a movie with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.

And TP: you can write the check-in scene if you like. I've got too much work to do tonight to add anything.

I can't make a post tonight - out of time. Would someone, Fea or phantom, mind just mentioning Sai's arriving at Mount Doom. I'll do a long post once the next test has begun and get everything in.

I would've had more things happen and I would've added more details, but some very unexpected emergencies came up today. And actually, I'm not done taking care of them yet, so I won't be able to post a check-in scene until very late tonight- 2 AM or so. But that doesn't matter too much, because Fea put Alli, Sai, and Mardil at Mount Doom, and that's what really matters.

Okay, Wilhelmina and Fléin have reached Mount Doom. Later tonight (toNight?) I'll put up a check-in post in which the poor old lady gets to relax a bit.
