Unfortunately, no one had "Corruption" left ....
Message:In the first battle at Mount Doom, no one had corruption left .... it was a fool's errand. We were dead the moment we arrived.
No one "wanted" the ring on the journey ... the dice just passed it around. I don't think it was because we knew the ring would corrupt us ... it was because the benefit of the ring at the time did not warrant the risk.
Unless the there were options on the way to protect other characters, the only other option was to let a few people die in Mordor and so the party would have fresh characters who had not been corrupted.
Something to consider for a remake.
