Dalain of Esgaroth is ready as the order stands above, Celglin will be following at a distance.

Very good.

The following folk have yet to find their place in the marching order:

Burmon, the Dwarf porter.
Ardenbard the seer,
Nat Pickthorn of Bree (Ardenbard's protector),
Soval Hackbeard, the Hero of Swanfleet, and company,
Barald the old boar, woodsman of South Mirkwood,
Eremin Sulk the sneak,
Baraglin Banks and Largo Harfoot the Hobbits.

Please advise...

Eremin Sulk will prefer to travel in the middle of the party, among the torch bearers.

But he's available to scout ahead, should the current scouts need a break.

Burmon will stay towards the rear of the party. He'll have his lamp and oil ready in case we need more light, but otherwise he'll come along just to carry anything back that might need to be carried (i.e. he'll port, as it were).

After much faffing about, the company is finally set to go, with Elindir and Legandir now getting extremely fidgety in the semi-gloom at the foot of the long stair...

We march in? Back to the big room where the trolls were met?

Assuming my post in the other thread holds up Berangar, Ran, and Sutherland should be removed from the marching order.

Norin points up the stairs with his war hammer. "Away, scouts! And be quick and quiet! Don't try to engage - just get information and return; we'll give you a lead and then start up ourselves. And keep an eye out for an ambush!"

"Stay forty feet behind us," whispers Elindir , as he begins to creep down the ancient stop steps. "If there's trouble, I'll give you a whistle. After that, I'm sure the bloodthirsty dwarves will know how best to entertain our foes."

Lómëluin fits another arrow to his bow. "We take the first hall," he whispers fiercely.

Legandir resheaths Morfil and fits an arrow to his Rivendell bow.

He nods once to Lomeluin and takes a position beside Elindir as they descend once again the stair.

Torch and lantern light is good for 30ft of illumination.

However, the Elves and Dwarves have excellent eye-sight in dim conditions and can see as far as 60ft.

The visibility indicated on the scratch map is as far as Elindir, Legandir, Sili and Norin can see as the company begins its march UP the long stair...
