![]() I'm back, but as to how much I can get on is debateable - I'm having some issues with internet access at home and, as barrowdowns is blocked on the library computer (don't ask), I am currently using my mum's builder's laptop that I have borrowed for the afternoon. Again just...don't even ask. The lengths I go to for youse lot! ![]() Sorry... ![]()

Aman - I'm so glad you're back! And I'm so sorry your having comp troubles. Let me know if you'll be able to get a post up in the next few days, just to have an idea of when to expect you. Please don't feel rushed into posting, though. You do go too far for us guys!

Not a concert exactly - evensong every evening but Thursday in the Cathedral

Firefoot -- should we carry Kath's character until she returns, or kill him? Your idea of your character's revenge could be pretty sweet. And I agree, we ought to play out the battle. Warning to you all: I've never written a battle sequence before, whether in fanfiction or RPG. Therefore my descriptions might not be so hot... but I'll do my best! It doesn't make much difference to me when the battle starts. Whenever everyone's ready... ![]() |

Durelin - don't be silly
![]() ![]() Mithalwen - hmm. I don't know yet - any idea what time evensong is usually? It varies - at Windsor it was about 6:00, but Ripon was like 3:30. So I'm not sure, I won't know until we get there. But that would be amazing ![]()

Aman - And a wonderful post it is! Sorry, for some reason I assumed from you post about computer troubles that you wouldn't be getting a post up so soon. Silly me, underestimating you.
Setting up the meeting... Well, I should be doing homework, but I'll be doing a post instead...shall be up by tomorrow evening at the latest, unless one of my dear family members kills me...or just steals the computer away.... ![]() |

No I live near Bournemouth but it is not too far to travel only the time is a factor if I am working that day ...... Their website says 5.30 .. I will see... It would be a nice idea. Cathedral Evensongs are lovely ... used to go often in Oxford .

Whoo...posted. Almost didn't make it! Surprise trip to my grandmother's.... My post was written in the car on the way home, so I hope it's alright. Let me know if I need to change anything, Aman.
![]() Edit: Just a quick note to the Dwarves, Lorien Elves, and Orcs: Whenever it is a good time for those of you who are able to post to start your battle, please do. If need be, I can carry along the Lorien Elves when Arestevana departs for a week. I won't hijack their characters, but if a general post is needed, I can do that. Or they can simply be carried along by you Dwarves and Orcs as necessary. Also, I was thinking that the Dwarves and Elves arrival in Eregion (which I know is a ways off yet...just saying) would be a good time to make *the great transition*. Unless that is too long to wait. What does everyone think? Last edited by Durelin; 08-11-2005 at 05:33 PM. |

Sorry I will fill my save tomorrow.... It is only going to be a scene setter - Losrian's early morning at home and then off to work "day in the life of an apprentice will involve preparing and lighting a fire at home and a forge at work, general domestics and probably fiddling around with arrowheads - so nothing that should affect anyone much save maybe aman but if she wants to do a post I will fit in

The Orcs have begun their attack; after firing some arrows, they charged down into the valley. I set it up so that the Orcs will be attacking from the front/side, trying to cut the Elves off, so that the Dwarves will be able to come up from behind, besetting the Orcs on both sides. In case that isn't clear, here's a really quickie map I whipped up:

Well, I'm back.
It appears that I've missed a lot of conversation. If someone could please fill me in with a few nice, sweet paragraphs, that'd be great. Otherwise, I think I'd have to read pages... I'll catch up on the RPG reading itself whenever I have time. Some of it can be managed this evening, I'm sure. ![]() Until later, when I have questions... -Folwren

You haven't missed much, Folwren, don't worry. The thread has just expanded suddenly because Pio merged the Planning thread with this one.

Where are you Orcs in relationship to this map?
![]() I have the remaining 22 Dwarves (three Dwarves are staying with the supplies stashed there) heading down from a shallow cave in the side of the Misty Mountains south of the Eastern Gate and going toward the southern end of the Mirrormere. They see the Elves appoaching the Mirrormere and the bow and arrow attack upon them by the Orcs. You must be positioned on the lower slopes . . . right? And we are coming down toward you from behind? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've filled my SAVE - let me know if it's alright.

Hey, Captain, do we get to kill him in the end?
![]() He looks pretty cool. I think I am going to like to see him in battle...from a distance.

Save filled, finally. Done with my summer work now, though, so I have more time for posting.

Ah, Folwren!
Skald was planning on having him and his buddies drag off his 2 brothers!! ![]() You sure you don't want an Orc to take a good whack at you there at the end? ![]()

You amuse me, Arry, but you also convince me. You seem eager enough to have a couple wounded brothers. I wanted to see your reaction anyway and see what Skald would do if Bror got hurt. I'll do that, but you'd better be quick, or we shall both die.
Oh, and considering how I see no possible way for either of us to get to Riv before that second orc has his club in contact with his head, can I keep the throwng axes? Those are cool. ![]() I'll fix that now and will have it reposted before I get off tonight... - Folwren

Everybody involved...I edited my post, and don't believe it was for Arry's sake alone.
![]() Firefoot, if you would like, those two orcs that just helped eachother clobber Bror could be your characters, if you like. They seem capable of escaping death, if you wanted them to. Have fun, all. I'm being kicked off to bed. - Folwren

I'll finish my post sometime later today (it's 2 a.m. here at present).
I'll get us to the base of the track leading up to the Eastern Gate . . . if you don't mind I'll invent a small troop of Dwarven guards sent down in response to Brand's arrow . . . they should be able to hold off any Orc still following behind. I'll bring the Elves along, too . . . there are now about 60 still able-bodied, @20 injured and 20 dead. Sound alright? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pio and Folwren How wounded/conscious are your Dwarves? Will they be able to respond to Skald if he talks to them as they retreat to safety?

Arry, I answered your question by PM without even knowing you asked it! Leastways, I kind of answered it...here's a reply to the rest of what you asked.
I don't know to what extent he is wounded, but he is pretty unconscious. After a moment (probably by the time Skald gets to him), Bror will have come to slightly, but not very much. I don't think he'll be able to respond to Skald if he talks to him. He'll be dizzy and disoriented, hardly unable to see straight, and though he'll know Skald's voice, he won't know what he's saying and he won't be able to answer. That work?

Riv has lost a lot of blood from the wound beneath his right arm. He's limp, unconscious, unable to respond save for groans of pain if the arm is moved too much.
Poor Unna! She will be quite distraught. Let's hope Leifr doesn't lose his daddy! ![]() ~*~ Pio
