The burial was made at nightfall following dwarven customs. Hrolf was buried along with all of her possessions and wepons except the amulet, which Feldorn was going to keep until he managed to give it to the sons of Hrolf. During the night a falling star fell in the sky, which the elves of the encampment interpreted as her soul going to its eternal resting place. Next morning a few hours after daybreak the group sat around Turin waiting for him to finalize the plan.

"Alright. It is time for us to make our moves. We shall be seperating into our tasks now.

Hrolf did not reveal this secret to our enemies, though I am concerned that if her body is not found among the dead in the field we left three days ago, that the enemy will know that there are survivors. Yet I doubt that they would ever consider that we would actually walk right up to their gates and request to come in. It will be the one place that we are not looked for.

But now there is a problem. There are only two dwarves and three elves. One of the dwarves is a healer. I think that may look too suspicious. Therefore, I need to ask one of the elves to stay behind and not go with the others. I am wondering if one of the mages can use his magic to appear human for a time. That would create two groups of four. The four of us "humans" would go do our task of searching out any human enemy spies and the two elves and two dwarves would penetrate the fortress of Morgoth. Their task would be to spy on the enemy and maybe map out the coordinates of captives as well as what information could be used for the attack on them.

I shall lead my group and Kirun could lead the others, since the dwarves have to maintain the appearance of the ones in control of thier supposed captives.

How does this sound with everyone?</font>

<font color=green>"What if the humans took one of the elven mages as a "captive"? What does everyone think about that?"</font>-added Feldorn.

<font color=silver>"I volunteer to be that captive. I like the idea."</font>

OOC: Finally back. Thanks to dplax now I know what is going on.

Bober didn`t too much liked the idea of getting into Morgoth`s stronghold since he knew that lives are at stake. But as a Dwarf he naturally hidden his fear and pretended that everything is alright. <font color=white>"Let`s go!"</font> he said.

Roland too fit a bit uncomfortable since this is the first time in his life he's doing something incredibly dangerous. <font color=green> "I won't back out on my allies." </font> he whispered to himself.

<font color=skyblue>"I suppose that will work as well.

The captive idea could work, but I think it might be more dangerous for that particular elf.

However, if we aleady have a volunteer, then that settles it. If you so choose to do so of your own free will.

Now...here is another thing to think on. There is no way to know how long our tasks would take...but if we decide to come back here to regroup when we are finished...we assure ourselves to wait the period of a time and "if" that time passes, the group that is here goes looking for the group that is lost. Is this well with everyone? </font>

"I agree with that, I think that the group who gets back here should wait at least a few days before going to help the other one."</font>

<font color=yellow>Robyn nodded her silent assent, folding her arms and shifting her feet somewhat impatiently. Her eyelids flickered for just a moment as her glance fell on Turin.</font>

<font color="FF3300">Kirûn</font> nodded as Turin and Feldorn spoke. <font color="FF3300">"Aye, patience and caution is key. I will not lightly lead allies to their deaths. Me feet already feel leaden at the thought of walking into the jaws of death, but with a wee bit o'thought and careful preparations, I think this plan is manageable. Is there a way signs of progress could be left behind so as not to be detectable by the Enemy, but trackable by keen elven eyes? A patch of stripped bark, arranged stones, dropped gear as from our prisoners? Meanwhile, I shall prepare myself for this ordeal."</font>
