Loki goes instantly where Huan tells her. She has a safety against landing intersected with solid objects, her or any of her belongings, so dramatic as it would be she can't just appear with her opponent already impaled. She has to actually stab him.
So she stabs him, spikes him from there. And hollows out Lævateinn and channels ice into the wound.

You don't order people to take oaths. Not during a war, when orders are law like they are now, like we've been operating of the last decade. Not in peacetime either but there, at least, I'd expect most people to disobey -

Ugh. I'm going to have to take a run at the gems anyway, I'll see about free will.
The orcs are a thousand times more reason to do it than we are.
purposeful_glory
More than. But - if it would help Celebrimbor to know I have an angle on that.
I'll tell him it's in the works. Happy belated birthday, it's his majority.
And they shield each city Morgoth moves towards, until after a month a second fallout-cloud-body joins the first one, and then until a third does.

Loki leaves on a message-relaying trip. She makes it in record time.
She goes to Doriath.
She goes to Doriath.
Doriath looks the same as always. There are two more fallout-cloud-bodies hovering over it, not getting too close.

...yep. She's not even going to ask. She pops back. Can she consolidate more people? Hidden city, two Silmaril-guarded locations?
Hidden city is bare-bones but up and accepting civilians. They could have a Nolofinweans-and-Sindar location and a Feanorians-and-Dwarves location, most of the Men and most of the Elven civilians in the hidden city?

That works.
She goes up to a beach. "Do I need to get Turgon to sing to ask you a quick question?"

Apparently.

She goes and gets Turgon. "I want to ask if it's okay for me to turn some sea invisible so as to easily teleport a lot of fish out of the ocean to feed people."
This time it takes a while longer to get in touch with Ulmo. He has no objections to her feeding people with her teleportation and invisibility.
purposeful_glory
Cool. She notifies Celebrimbor of that, too, he can probably see fish through non-invisible water better than she can. She dumps a lot of fish on people when she cannot stare at her spellwork for another minute. But mostly she does spellwork.
Everyone is alive. The Elves are working on a way to weaponize the Silmarils against the fallout clouds.
purposeful_glory
Good for them. She's working on getting off this stupid fucking cylinder so she can grab a scary fucking cube.
There's a hurricane. It seems to seriously inconvenience Morgoth, though it also inconveniences them; he's gone for several weeks. The Elves are enchanting mirrors to amplify light.
purposeful_glory
Maybe that was Ulmo. Thanks, maybe Ulmo.
- Illusion songs work. Would illusion Silmaril light work? What's a cheap way to test that?

Take some fish, leave it near an illusion Silmaril, see if it rots. It does.
They can protect a wider radius with amplified Silmaril light. Directing it straight at him is the next project.
It works. They are, given the Doom, a little surprised how well it works. They rip and slice through the first Morgoth-form with a laser powered by a Silmaril diode and Celebrimbor catches the second Morgoth-form fleeing north and makes it fall to the ground like clods of dirt and the third one is better prepared but they now have two Silmarils to go after it with and when it falls apart it falls into the sea, leaving a series of ashy islands that connect the south continent to Beleriand.
They charge across it and the two fallout clouds besieging Doriath abandon fallout-cloud form and worm their way into the earth, leaving smoldering holes, and it's only when they're standing outside Doriath with Silmaril-weapons that they realize, given the Doom, it makes perfect sense it happened like this.
