Something like a basic description of the situation around the ruins might be helpful... How many outlaws, what they're doing, are Eodwine and the twins still hiding or captured already, what do the outlaws want; robbing, ransom (taking that they recognise lord Eodwine), just being brutal...?

Lmp and Celuien, I'll PM you in a minute with an idea that's somewhat unrelated to what Thornden and the rescue-party will do...

I've given you some clues already, Foley. There are about a dozen outlaws (give or take); no horses. Some barking and growling can be heard. Thornden has already been to the ruins, so recall what he saw last time, and throw in some outlaws running about, or under cover and sending arrows flying at the would-be rescuers. This is, by the way, a pretty brutal group, to use Nogrod's word.

Leave Rilef to me, please. None of the party will find him until I reveal his situation.

I know you've given me clues, but I'm just saying I'm awful at writing such things! But...I'll move forward when I've a chance, if no one else has.

There's only one way to get better at anything, especially things that scare you. But don't get too worried - we're more than happy to help you make it what it needs to be.

Okay. Celuien has not answered yet but with your approval lmp I have moved the two lads towards the center of action as well. If Cel has no time to embark on this we will have to decide whether I try to run this side-plot myself or whether I just delete my last post from the thread.

So don't worry Foley! Even if you don't have the eyes of the hobbit as a scout to help you, you might have the keen eyes of two little kids...

Celuien has just left Hobbiton.
I just got home now to find the PMs.

I like it. Now to read what happened in the hall...

Hee hee! Now that's interesting. Thornden removed the chance Foley had of Elempi describing what was going on through Falco's eyes. How ironic. But you can do it, my dear. Have no doubts.

I'm attempting, I'm attempting. I'm as nervous as can be.

The two little kids won't do our rescuing party any good because they're not with us.

I'm writing a post now and will post it before going to bed...
