Me! I'll be posting for the villagers going to the caves and maybe for Jess and Cartil. My post will be up before tonight, sorry for the delay!

Thankyou Aylwen.
I shall put a post up to clarify all plans. Sorry it has taken me so long to put in a post, especially to you Kryssal, I know you made that post a while ago! Just to put it here: We have the groups that are attacking, three from memory. They go through the trees and ambush the camp. And Jesslyns archers will be nearer to the city in case all goes ill. Now, I have to place a post where Annanoldowen arrives with the men of Gondor, ill have that in as well. They will be a fourth group in the attack. |

Aylwen: I hope my post is an OK use of Adela and Stefan?
It was actually Elena who was supposed to say: "She's probably hiding somewhere," she said brightly. "probably in the woods! I mean, we are well but your family and my Papa were probably worried about us. There must be people all over the place!" But I think it works just as well the other way, so don't change it unless you want to.

Lyra: Yep! It's all good. And, Oops to the Fiona/Elena thing...I knew that (my response everytime I mess up...)! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Sorry bout that! I'll post again for Adela and Stefan soon, and then I'll probably edit to include any conversation with my other chara's.

The attack?
In SW time, exactly a day just as night comes the groups will head in. Ill start preparing what roughly should happen, just for your info *nods* Oh, and we need a 'rescue' group for Laurel. Ill also put a post under my last one for Annunfuin. Is it okay if he bumps into Leena and Lanaey?? |

At the most those people will encounter a handful of fleeing Wild Men, and possibly be able to help some injured Rohirrim or Gondorian soldiers. But no major battle.
Aylwen: Would you like to post more for Cartil? If you do just let me know, otherwise Ill wrap up the night [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] <font size=1 color=339966>[ 6:50 AM January 08, 2004: Message edited by: Taralphiel ] |

Thankies Aylwen! Ill conjour up a response!
I just wanted to bring all of you, even if your chara's wont actually be fighting, into the development of this battle scene. My thinking is that the more opinions the better! Okay, I should first set the scene: The encampment of the Wild Men is in what the people call the 'Southern Confines'. It is cornered on three sides by forest. The side not backed faces towards the mountains, away from the Village. This means that most of the attacks have been troops of Wild Men fading in and out through the trees. So, what needs to be figured is who attacks where? Im assuming the Rohirrim would be horsed, as would some of the Gondorians. What do you all think? |

Lanaey would probably want to go around to the furthest side with few horses, including hers. How are we coordinating the attacks exactly? Sun position or call signal or something? I'd go against call signal 'cause it alerts the entire camp, but if it's all we got *shrug* And exactly how many men will be in each group?

Im not entirely sure....there are no specified numbers for wither army
We have three groups yes? The only number that I can remember is that the Rohirrim are close to 500 possibly. So make it 400 to account for losses? If so, half would have horses, and will be with the Gondorians that have them also. That will be the group Lanaey leads. As far as signalling, flaming arrow? It should be coordinated that those in the trees go first, then as the Wild Men are driven back, the horses close them in |

In any case I think Jesslyn will have thirty or so archers, but if this number is wrong just let me know! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] -Aylwen [Edit: 1200th post! yay!] <font size=1 color=339966>[ 9:23 PM January 13, 2004: Message edited by: Aylwen Dreamsong ]

(( *huggles for Aylwen* whoo! Congrats!!))
Exactly my sentiment! Have one of Jessly'ns archers shoot that arrow, to signal the Rohirrim and Gondorians to charge. Temporary lapse of memory, who were the group leaders? Lanaey, Laurel, and Herebrand? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I shall have a post up to end the night soon *nods* |

For my post - is is okay if I also bring it to morning with Jesslyn and the archers preparing to leave for their job in the 'Last Stand'? I just wanted to make sure!
-Aylwen Edit: Kryssal brought morning, so it's all good. I'll post tomorrow about Jesslyn's reply to the brothers and the archers' early departure. <font size=1 color=339966>[ 11:05 PM January 18, 2004: Message edited by: Aylwen Dreamsong ]

Okay....next posts should be everyone setting out! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
So we can get the groups right: Rohirrim on horseback (Herebrand): Ohtaredan. Gondorians on horseback (Lanaey): Annanoldowen, Lanaey, and Gellick. Rohirrim on foot (Laurel): Cartil, Annunfuin. Gondorians on foot (Leena) Any changes? <font size=1 color=339966>[ 4:01 AM February 09, 2004: Message edited by: Taralphiel ] |

Ill get the ball rolling, now assuming you guys dont need any changes made [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Lyra: Feel free to post inbetween us. It would be excellent to get the mood of tension in the camp going [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] For all the people in the battle scene, here is a rough idea for posting, if you can call it that: -Laurel takes on Wild King and wins *cheers* ;P - Arrow is fired, all companies run into the battle -Laurel is nabbed by Cuor, Gita following -Cartil and any others rescue her (volunteers?) - The horsemen and soldiers overwhealm the Wild Men, and drive them out/ kill most of them. Leena and Lanaey posting that victory here would be excellent [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] -Laurel returns to see the battle won! After that, we should have a few happy ending posties *grins* Anyone wants to tweak with it, nows your chance! |

Leena is going to die. You know, fyi. Also, Tara, you might want to put in the arrow before you start fighting. It gives a go for the rest of us.

Sorry sorry sorry. I've had loads of computer issues, but I'm back now (again)!
Aylwen: About your PM back at the old site (the whole move was a surprise, but there you go!), shall we go for a fight then? Does this sound plausible: Adela starts crying and saying that everyone is going to die or something, Fiona gets upset and shakes her shoulders or something, and Stefan steps in. Then we have a fight going? (Or something!)

Our benevolent leader, Tara, is having new forum problems and cannot currently log on. So, we'll do without a bit. I'll make her add in the flying arrow when she gets back on. Everyone post for the fights

Im back!
Reset my password, and managed to get back in. Aylwen: Would you be able to post? I need more war descriptions before I move on, and it would be nice to see Jesslyn and Cartil doing their bit! Kryss: Im off to edit in the arrow right now, so if you havent posted already, head off! Just to clarify, you do know Leena isnt on horse, and that her group is already fighting? |

Umm....teehee. I forgot about Annanoldowen. My bad. So I went back and added that she and Lanaey got separated right at the beginning. I'll put her in the next round of posts. Hope to get them in tomorrow.

Yes, if you could please!
What will happen is once Laurel is free, she will walk out onto the battle being won Also, feel free to have Herebrand in your posts too, as far as interacting with him. I will post for him as well of course. Aylwen: Could you please put in a post for Cartil going to look for Laurel? |

I suppose it's me, but I regret to say that it will have to wait until Sunday. I'll be away at church from tonight to tomorrow night doing the Thirty-Hour Famine, so I'll post sometime on Sunday.
-Aylwen Edit: Okay, so I got quite busy. Didn't mean to! Sorry. I'll definitely post on Tuesday though since it's election day and there's no school.

I would really like if we could wrap this game up soon, because it's taking time, you know. I'm going to wrap up the fights in two to three posts, more towards the two. I'm just waiting for Aylwen to start.

So sorry! I agree with Kryssal, and I know I promised to post, it's just been a bit hectic this week with spring sports starting, but I'll get a post up tonight, and this time I'll get it up!

I got called away as I was writing this, so I finished Galain's. I'll write the next one tomorrow where most will meet up, Leena will die, and I'll finish the current fighting.
Good luck with the Laurel escapade! Aylwen, did I not pay attention or was Jesslyn dying completely a surprise? Well, it was to me. Good writing. *thumbs up* |

It was surprise indeed!
I really have to apologize to you both..and to the Roan gamers... I do not believe I have done a very good job of keeping this game on trac. We well exceeded our finish target, and we are lapsing. I am very sorry I let this happen and I too, want to finish this story as soon as possible Thankyou for finishing up the fighting Kryss, it was just what needed to be done! Ill get some posts in now! EDIT: I have two posts up. One is for the armies, the other for Laurel. Ive left a space open for Cartil to make his move Aylwen Last edited by Taralphiel; 03-06-2004 at 05:42 AM. |
