It seemed to me that if some clever thing came up like having the eagles fly the ring and drop it into Mt. Doom, the D.M. would say you can't do that even though it seems completely realistic in my opinion. I guess the primary objective was to create a long, interesting story and completing some objective was just secondary in order to meet the primary objective. I kinda prefer the former, and then just start another campaign...

i think even the eagles may have been corrupted by possesion of the ring, and the greater the victims might, the greater danger they present under thrall of the ring, thus lowly hobbits bore the ring.

whether hobbits, or eagles did it, it certainly caused a power vacuum, and the ensueing times would be the entry scenario to the next campaign.

Well, let's at least roll the dice to see if they become corrupted or not... The proclivity to corruption shouldn't necessarily be proportional to the might of the possessor.
