Elves and Snowmen

Rôg is flying about as the little bat to bring the message from Captain Luindal to start moving back to the main cavern in preparation for leaving for the day.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to leave as the nasssty Corsairs are in the process of piling boulders in front of the entrance - though 'we' don't know that as yet.

You can leave a post here on the discussion thread for my post box #56 on the game if you wish - the Elves took us into the cavern. Go ahead and find a little souvenir if you wish, but alas

no sign of the palantir.

Oro

Go ahead and search around in the little cave - find something old and Elven if you want to from the sunk ship.

Then, can you have Rôg surprise you by flying in as a bat and telling us we need to get back to the main cavern - Captain Luindal wants to head back to the ship before we're caught in the cave when the tide comes in.

I'm sorry for editing my save so late, I had a nasty flue and computer troubles (I love yet hate technology!). But its edited now!

Arry - Check your PMs.

Due to computer troubles, Niluial is unable to post at this time. Apparently her computer won't send PMs either...Another reason she has been unable to post is because she has had a severe case of the flue.

Until her computer problems are fixed (for some reason she can't post on threads either) I will put up her posts, etc.

Cheers,
Imladris

I did a lead-in for you to help rescue Niluial's Elves. Go ahead and post on the discussion thread, and I'll edit it in under my post.

Thanks! Can you put this up for me?

By the time Carandû and his brother had reached the little cave, Rôg was already back in mannish form and kneeling by the injured Elf. It was Andtuariel! She looked quite pale, the blood on her face from the rock cut making her skin seem even whiter in contrast. The lower part of her leg had caught in a hole in the cavern floor and seemed quite firmly wedged.

Annû knelt down quickly opposite Rôg. He took out his big-bladed knife and began chipping at the rock edges of the hole. Elwë, too, was knocking at the jagged rim that held her boot tight. ‘At least her leg is not bent at an unnatural angle,’ whispered Annû to Andtuariel’s brother. ‘The boot has padded it a bit and hopefully there will be only a little swelling.’ Rôg stabilized the woman’s leg as the other two worked on enlarging the hole. After a number of minutes, the only sounds being the clack and scrap of steel against rock, Annû, Elwë, and Rôg were able to gently eas the Elf’s foot from where it had been trapped.

Carrandû had packed a thin piece of leather, all folded up, into the pouch slung at his belt. It was a fair sized piece with which he meant to wrap the palantir should they discover it. Now he laid it on the ground, and the four of them eased Andtuariel onto it. Her ankle was quite swollen and too painful for her to bear weight.

Rôg changed back to his bat form, flying quickly down the tunnel to alert Freyn. Carrandû knelt down and grasped the edges of the leather. He began backing down the tunnel pulling Andtuariel with him on the leather piece. ‘Sorry about the bumpy ride,’ he said, smiling at her as they jostled over a particularly rocky section of the tunnel floor. ‘Soon we’ll be in the main cavern, where the healer is waiting.’ Annû and Elwë took turns cradling the Elf’s booted leg as they inched toward the main cavern.

Finally, Carandû could just hear Galhardir’s voice saying, ‘Here they are!’ And hands reached down to take up the burden as he emerged from the tunnel.

Looks like we're all safe in the main cavern now or are we?
