OOC: Halia, Luinnar and Anariel you are all welcome! Please help us decide on something!

Lithoniel stepped forward to meet the new arrival "Please excuse our rudeness.. I am Lithoniel, Lady of Imladris, and you are very welcome here. Come we are trying to decide where to go... then, hopefully we will be leaving tomorrow morning." She led Luinnar further into the room and said "To answer your question Rhavaniel, I have done nothing so far because there has been no time.. My grandfather Lord Elrond was busy helping his daughter and son-in-law, my dear cousin's parents" here she nodded towards Isteleth "to stay the threats from the east, while we here only kept our borders safe. Now that we are quite safe here we must now look to the outskirts of the borders. We must try to do what little we can before it is time to leave for good. What if we went to the Misty Mountain.. then from there to the Witch King's lands?" Lithoniel waited for their reply's.

Luinnar assesses the situation quickly. "You are looking for a place to hunt down the remnants of the Dark Lord's servants, are you not? I travel....a lot, let's say, and have been in the Mirkwood realm recently. As you all know the shadow there has held sway for a long time, and I think, if y'all don't mind my opinion, that that is precisely where we need to start."
She leans against a wall and crosses her arms, ignoring the chair. "Once the deep-rooted evil is gone, we can then spread out from there in a pincer movement towards the Misty Mountains and exterminate the goblins." She shrugs. "It seems easiest to me."

"That is a noble quest indeed... but we are not here to find the 'easiest' thing to do.. we are here to defend this land of Middle-Earth. Now time is running short, Does anyone else have anymore ideas?" Lithoniel waited again for the others to put in their opinions...

A snarl curls her lip as the flames in her eyes flare, and little blue flames flicker over her fingers. "I did not suggest it because it was the easiest, I suggested it because it was the smartest. The goblins, if they have even the tiniest speck of a brain, will be expecting an attack! The evil in Mirkwood will not be! Listen to sense!" Her voice echoes around the room, bouncing angrily back at everyone. "This is why you never did anything in the first place! You're all talk, and no action." She snorts in disgust.

Istelth turned to the female
"Your idea was good. but there was no need to that rude" she said calmly, defending her cousin.
She then turned to Lithoniel
"My father feels as if we should start at the weakest part and the most active, kill of the weaklings and start working up, but in someways i disagree with what he is saying, though i personally think we should start at the weaker less active then move onto the most active, if any of that makes sense"

Luinnar sighs. "Forgive me, I have a temper. Let me explain better. When you start with the weakest, that lets the strongest know, giving them a chance to form a defense or plan of attack, which is not what you want, because they might turn out stronger than you. To win, you must cut down on the strongest part and cut it off from any reinforcements, therefore slicing off the head of the snake and then cutting up the body later!" She finishes with a slicing hand gesture. "Was that more polite?..."

Isteleth laughed
"Yes, it's ok if you have a temper it's just i'm slightly defensive with family, i apologise, and yes that makes sense unless you destroy the weaker in silence and stealth, so you give no hint to the stronger force that we are near and killing - also if we wentfor the stronger fiirst and we loose all our men, we have none left for the weaker that can grow stronger.

((*starts to laugh* hahaha this is funny, fireworks are going off and everytime one bangs my cat flinches!))

Lithoniel had stiffened up a bit at the display of Luinnar's temper but could see her point. "I to greive for the lack of action in this matter. You also have a point Luinnar, I do not believe starting at the weakest and moving up is a good idea either. The strong would then have time to become stronger and there would be no hope.. we must start at the strongest. This is why I had suggested Angmar.. the Witch King, from our sources, has built up a substantial force. They are stronger than both the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood combined! That is my vote, that we should start with the strongest and attack Angmar." She looked at each of their faces waiting for their reactions...

Luinnar smiles, "Finally! You are beginning to think like generals! Perhaps my coming here was not a waste of time, after all...." she adds teasingly. She turns to look at Lithoniel.
"That is a good idea Lithoniel, and I agree, but Isteleth has a point that we must consider also.... Our forces now are very small, if all I see here is what is left of the good of Middle Earth. But that can be remedied..." Luinnar smirks, the flames in her eyes glittering.

"Also, Angmar does not expect an attack.. they think the war far off to the east... What do you have in mind Luinnar... this remedy of yours??" Lithoniel studied the strange woman carefully...

Luinnar's smirk turns to a grin, and the flames in her eyes flash wildly. "I have 5 ships under my control, each bearing over 20 men who would gladly fight for me and for our cause. I also know where to scrape up a few more recruits, if you'll let me...." As she says this she is twirling the ruby earring, that dangles from the tip of her left pointed ear, thoughtfully.

"You have ships, I have many men and elves itching to fight. Can we not decide on anything? I say we leave tomorrow- I dont know where, I just want to fight. Every day that passes with non action, the goblins, uruks and orks grow stronger. We must strike soon!" Rhavaniel's voice echoed around the hall. She turned to Luinnar, smiling "You sound like you know what I speak of. Maybe you have been through the same as me. Do I perhaps know you? Or is it just a trick of fortune? You sound strong willed. An elf after my own heart, it would be a good thing to draw swords with you. But now is the time for action, we must decide now."

Isteleth nodded
"My father says that the armies of Gondor are ready to fight, and Rohan are ready as well, my sister and aunts in Lothlorien have a small army as well with a couple of hundred archers ready at command" she told them

"Then what are we waiting for? Saddle the horses! Clean your sword, put your amour on! Let us go, I beg! I will not tally for longer, and then I take matters into my own hands!" Rhavaniel cried eyes sparking. "My men are waiting. I have not let them fight for so long, and now they grow impatient. Milady, Mylords, let us leave."

Lithoniel could feel the situation getting out of hand, her hands.. Vehiron felt it to so he stood and said "Passion without wisdom is like a dangerous weapon in the hands of an fool! In other words you cannot just go fight without having some sort of plan! We must at least know where we are to fight and who! Now I think that Angmar is the best, especially if we have Luinnar's troops, Gondor's help and the men you speak of, plus all the archers Rivendell can spare, which is most all." when he had finished Lithoniel stood
"Vehiron is right, just as you Rhavaniel are right, we must have action! I vote for Angmar. What say you?"

Isteleth nodded
"That sounds like a very good plan of action!"
