Okay, this is an RPG I did a long time ago that went to well over 1500 posts, with an awesome plot and great characters, so I thought I'd start it up again here. This is basically the plot line: It's been discovered that one of the unknown Istari (the two that are never named) has, well, gone bad, and has a growing army in the inner mountains of Mordor, threatening to attack Gondor and Rohan. There has been a call for aid (hence the RPG name^) from the Dunedain, and some Elves and Men have answered (that would be you guys) and are now camped by the Crossings of Poros (look on your maps, it's sort of around the bottom left-hand corner of Mordor). They are currently discussing strategy and how to go about sabotaging this evil Istari's plan. Sound okay?
There is a sort of plot around this whole thing that will become apparent as we continue, because if I tell you now it'll ruin it. So if anything weird starts happening, go with the flow
You don't have to come up with a way to join, just come out of your tent or something.
Oh, and no really radical magical powers, okay? This is well into the Fourth Age, and likely there were not many elves left, and certainly not powerful ones like Galadriel or Elrond. I would say only human characters, but so many of us play elves that it would be unrealistic

A cluster of tents surrounded a large campfire. Elves and Men talked in low tones around it, occasionally rising to disappear briefly into a tent. The moon was high in the sky. A little farther back from the fire than some, a female elf sat with a man of the Dunedain.
"Meleth, for the last time, that is not an option. I -"
The elf interrupted him, silver hair gleaming in the firelight. "Listen to me, Beriadan! It will not even compromise the time we have. If just a few of us could disguise ourselves and slip in, just to find out what is really going on, it might be invaluable!"
"No. Absolutely not. The risks are too high and I do not wish to be responsible for any more deaths than I have to. We cannot do it, Meleth, for all we know that is exactly what he is expecting. Our mission is not to infiltrate, only to observe." He stood up and bowed slightly. "As you know, I value your input, but this is out of the question. I do hope that you will tell me if anything else occurs to you?"
She sighed. "Yes. Yes, I will." As he walked away her black eyes followed him and she chewed her lip thoughtfully.
