No, I didn't abandon it, I just haven't had the time 'till now.

Colonel McMannis looked at Araglas' marines with an expression of impressment on his face.

"Quite an impressive display!" He said with a smile. The Colonel was a handsome man, with black hair, fair skin, and pearl-white teeth. He clearly spent a lot of time smiling, as little smile lines had creased his face. "Thank you so much for coming, but I'm afraid that your men won't be accompanying us. You see, every time we sent a large force into any of the fallen places the army vanished, without so much as a trace. That's why I've decided that stealth is key. If we take a small group and go sneaky, we're far less likely to be caught an  more likely to find something of interest. It will just be me, you adventurers, and the fifteen best warriors Gondor had to offer. And don't worry. If we do get caught, I'll make sure to provide an escape for you if it costs me my life. We're leaving in a week and a half, so in the meantime, you and your men make yourselves comfortable. If you need anything, I'll be here by the gates waiting for the other adventurers I called."
