Yeah, I like the idea of keeping Gollum away from the Fellowship, for a bit; also like the idea of us "saving" him so he can finish his own part of the quest. Will see if I can work those bits in...

I have some really cool ideas about crossing the bridge just as The Fellowship is being attacked in The Tomb and Chamber of Marzabul putting into play our phobias. However, that wouldn't leave you, Andorinha, much to keep us all occupied while we wait for the time to come for that to happen. I figure The Fellowship might be a day or two behind us.
Maybe we could run into Gollum while we wait. I know he is following The Fellowship, but I imagine he would leave them if he had any inkling that The Fellowship is about to be attacked and come on down ahead of them. He would have guessed their plan was to exit out of the east Gate of Moria by now. So he could have crossed the bridge before them (as I am thinking we would do) just as chaos breaks out above.
My bridge crossing idea could also include a bound Gollum if need be.
BUT . . . If you are already working on the bridge crossing, then go right ahead. My ideas are only in my head for now so no big deal if you run with it.

Okay . . . Gullum has a dangerous sneaky way to get in and out of Moria but if we don't like it, we can use the bridge and cross it as chaos breaks out above in the Chamber of Marzabul . . . Decisions, decisions, and a Fake Ring Swap deal . . . hmmmm . . . how should I go from here now? I'm thinking . . . Storm has rope from roping practice and the phobias could still be put into place with Gollum's new route . . . I can alter my ideas for the crossing to work with a rope swing ? ? ?

Okie dokie. It is Desi's turn to figure out what to do with the ring swap. My guess is Gollum is not far away and didn't forget about his tradsies!

Thanks! I thought it was a perfect chance to throw a giant spider into the mix and use elven rope to cross. Gollum did say it was dangerous but a different way across other than the bridge! What a wonderful opportunity to use the giant spider trick to try to kill us all off and snatch the ring off of the Bagginses! tee hee I already had a very good idea of crossing on the bridge using all of our phobias (it would have been difficult to have DaleAnn's legs hang over the side off a rope and the bridge was better for that). And we know Gollum ain't gunna leave us alone yet! He is out there somewhere just waiting for his chance! I wonder how much longer before Shadowfax brings our steeds back to us?

Thanks for the dangling legs, Stormy, I didn't like it one bit! LOL Seriously good stuff, Andy and Stormy. Worth the wait, Andy. After consulting LotR, Fonstad's Atlas and Strachey's Journeys of Frodo, it looks like Gollum caught up to the Fellowship about 7-8 miles from Moria. And approximately 2 hours from the time they got out. So, we need to find Gollum, tell him it was a trick and send him on the road to Frodo, really quick! Fan

Ha ha ha! We all know how much Gollum LOVES Aragorn! He jumped you pretty quickly, too. Pretty funny, Desi. I want my horsey back. Andy, you missing Zonk, too?

Ok, I have several thoughts on how to proceed. I'm going to need a few days to figure it all out! Good work, Desi. I liked the note idea! Fan

Well, I am in the midst of writing my piece. It's going to take a few more days, probably. Fan
