Didn't notice it's been so long. Our admin seems to be absent, so I really don't want to skip Mordor. But I will if I have to (with my eyes closed, LOL).
Edit: it's possible that Gimli was never notified.
I've started the turn but I don't think I will be able to get it done tonight! Sorry everyone! Will finish this tomorrow afternoon and upload as soon as possible http://www.filedropper.com/jrootmm7

The Gondorians storm East Osgiliath as planned and slay the Witch King and his nazgul brother Dawndeath. Boromir leads his army out of the ruined city, in search of further victory...
It was a quiet evening. On a plateau before the Great Walls of Moria some Orcs that stood guard lit a fire and enjoyed the flesh of some animals they hunted down earlier in the day. It was then when they noticed someone or something approaching. According to the Logistics and Border Patrol Department no incoming friendly armies were expected that night. The Orcs quickly put out the fires and took up their arms as the unidentified came closer. Finally when it was close enough to identify, the Border Patrol of the Orcs noticed it was friendly. A slave from Goblin Town had arrived. He looked terribly exhausted and he could barely speak. As soon as he caught his breath he explained what was going on in the North. The Elvish Prince took an army from Mirkwood to the Misty Mountains. He was now on the borders with Goblin Town and this great Cave of the Orcs, home to the heir of the Orcs, was defenseless.
The Orcs went inside the Mountain and spread the word. A great army resides in Moria. Orcs and Goblins from all over the Misty Mountains, including a host from Goblin Town. They soon found their leader, Lord Burz, and also Burz, leader of Goblin Town and heir of the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, was deeply shocked by this news.
The Chieftain of the Orcs was working on some strategic plans in his Commanding Office when he heard a lot of noise coming from the Greater Halls. He stood up and went to the Halls to see what was going on. He didn't have to look very far, for he encountered Lord Burz with a host of men right at the higher entrance in the Greater Halls. Both Burz and Uglag could not read eachother's faces, stone as cold they were. Lord Burz didn't say a word and let his captain bring the word to the Chieftain. When the captain was finished, Uglag looked down and sighed.
Meanwhile most of the Orcs and Goblins had gathered in the Greater Halls, looking up to their Chieftain and 2nd in command. "Well, I think an explanation is appropirate here," the Chieftain began. "I've been making war plans lately. We have lived in peace in the Misty Mountains for years. But it turns out the Elves are not as weak as I thought. Nor are they as passive as I had hoped for. Action is required to eliminate the threat of these Elves once and for all. I wish for these Mountains to be a peaceful home to every Orc and Goblin that wishes to live here." The grim look on the face of most orcs slowly vanished. Agreement and unanimity slowly came to the Orcs.
The Chieftain continued: "I wish to end the line of the Elves, to exterminate them to the last standing, starting with Lothlorien. This magical paradise of the Elves must burn, but I can not do it with the few Orcs that were garrisoned here. This is the reason I called for every Orc and Goblin to come to Moria." -"At the expense of everything else in this realm?" Lord Burz brutally interrupted. The Orcs eagerly looked from the Chieftain to Burz and back again, awaiting his answer.
"No, I can not deny that it was a pure risk I took. I knew that the great Town of Goblins would be defenseless, but neither did I expect the Elves to enter our borders there so quickly. My devotion is with the empire, and look down upon this army," the Chieftain pointed down to the audience. "This great army will be unstoppable!" As the Chieftain started to speak louder. "Thousannds of Orcs and Goblins are being trained in the Barracks right now and we will soon be ready to march out. Our scouts informed that the Elves have not enough soldiers by far to repel our attack. We shall conquer Lothlorien!"
"And I promise you this, my kin. Moria has become strong. Thousands more will be readied for battle and after Lothlorien falls, we will march to reclaim Goblin Town and bring the fight to Thranduil's doorstep! No Realm will be able to match the Might from the Misty Mountains. Don't worry about this temporary loss of the northern mountains. The Elves have nowhere to go!" The Chieftain took out his dagger and cut his hand. "My devotion is with the empire and I swear to exterminate the Elves!"
The Orcs and Goblins were impressed and kneeled. They have faith in their leader once again. "Rise! Rise, my Warriors, RISEE!!!" The Chieftain shouted. "We will march on the third day! Assemble the army!!" The Orcs started chanting and there was no doubt that the Elves in Lothlorien could hear the Orc cries from the Mountains. They know doom is upon them.
Prince Legolas awaits a choice. Will he enter the Mountains or try to save Lorien, if his armies make a difference at all.
The Chieftain and 2nd in Command shook hands. "Don't worry," Uglag said to Burz, "our armies from the very north are also on the move. We do not stand alone in this war."
Lord Boromir pursues Grishnakh, the new supreme commander of Mordor’s armies, and catches up to him on the edge of the dead marshes. The terrain works in favor of the defenders, and more Gondorians fall in battle than Boromir would have liked. But in the end, it is another victory for the soldiers of the White City. After the battle, the Gondorians gather up the bodies of all of their fallen brethren and burn them, so that no brothers in arms may be condemned to reside in those murky depths for eternity.
For the record, I think Gimli made his optimum move with Grishnakh. It was an inescapable situation.
