Hey Group, this round robin is developing into a suspenseful tale, as well as being lots of fun. I can't wait to see what develops.
In particular, here's a shout out to Cathleen, for giving poor Pip a positively pyschedelic experience in the tavern. I chuckled and really enjoyed the cliff hanger.
And for you all, everyone's "bit" has been well-crafted and high quality so far. Keep it up.

Pearl, I really loved this conversation between Pippin and Merry. It was perfect - a nice, intimate interlude between the cousins and so appropriate after all they'd been through. I can easily picture them having this conversation, as well as feeling the need to, after everyone had left them alone. Beautiful!

It was such a relief to finally see Pip awaken. This chapter renewed our hope and made us feel better. I really liked the scene where Gandalf tried to make Pippin understand how much he is loved!

Perhaps he would sleep, indeed! Slightly Tookish, I loved following you when I wrote my chapter. This was a lovely setup for poor Pip to get himself in really deep trouble with that powder. That was quite an OD he got!

This chapter was wonderful, Auntie Meesh! I loved the way you started the foreshadowing of the many problems that were going to affect Pippin as he went increasingly without sleep. The lit pipe on the rug was perfect.

Lindelea, you set the first chapter up so well for taking us into a maelstrom of intrigue. I could just feel poor Pippin's anguish for the lack of peaceful sleep.

I've NEVER in my life so wished to see the Hobbits spill their soup! And "high-quality sources of protein" my eye! Only you, Budgie dear, could think of that one! Heh!

The Haradrim are devious! Ah, Ingold! How long before all is caught? And before he is caught as well as those who have taken possession of his will?
As for Faramir's comments--I so understand them!

The loss of innocence must have been the hardest to endure--but they are all four the stronger for it in the end, for now they truly appreciate what empathy and courage mean.

Hurry, Faramir, and follow the trail!
As for our four beloved Hobbits--they are stronger than any realize and already on the path of healing.

I agree, they are indeed four very strong Hobbits, and also very determined!
