You never continued? I just came across this and I hope you keep going, it looks like it could be good!

Sounds like a cool game! Some inside jokes in here, perhaps..I suspect Balthelion is an online friend of yours? I enjoyed reading this-you had good building action as you decided on the game, then personalized your avitar...and then left us on a cliffie as you were transported to Middle Earth! I believe this is your only story for LOTR, which surprises me bc you obviously love it. Thanks for an enjoyable one-shot that drew me in!

Thank you for an enjoyable chapter.
