Hmm, we-ell, we do appear to maybe hit on a minor snag with that plan...Mithalwen, check your PMs! See, on Thursday I'll be getting my GCSE results and will therefore be some three hundred miles away in Manchester....Foils.

I'll be away until Monday. Pio, go ahead and use Skald if you need him . . . he can travel up to the Great hall with you . . . -- Arry

Arry, Folwren, Boro, any of the Lorien Elves, as you wish
I've brought us all to the western end of Moria - to the great gathering hall of the Stonecut family. Beds have been set up for injured Elves and Dwarves. The Healers of both races are in attendance. I've left it open for any or all of you to answer Riv's questions . . . ----- Durelin Do you want the Dwarves and Elves in Ost-in-edhil sometime soon Real-time? If so, one of us at some point this week, Real-time, can jump the groups forward to where everyone is healed and ready to head out the West Gate for the Mirdain city. ~*~ Pio

I'll be able to fill in my save tomorrow...
In case you were wondering what the little phrase means...Orin with some other dwarves were cut off, and got seperated from the group. Him and Fawrin will be lumbering back to the East Gate. Folwren and Arry... I was going to have Gram inform Riv of Orin's unknown where-abouts, but if one of you would like you have your character do it, that'll be perfect. I think that'll work better. If one of you want to do it, please let me know by tomorrow. ![]() To everyone: Great game so far, I've thorougly enjoyed it.

As soon as the Dwarves and Lorien Elves reach Eregion, we're going to move ahead. Once they have posted about their arrival, I will post and put us in 1697. I'll leave two saves for posts before mine, just in case anyone needs to fit one more in.
In the meantime... Alcarillo - Mind if perhaps Sairien runs into Cainenyo on the docks? She does love the water...and wishes the river was the sea... |

Hi all I am back but haven't had a chance to read through the thing totally yet. Am I still alive and involved or is Orc involvement over now?

I've left a SAVE - I'll get us Dwarves heading out to Ost-in-edhil after about a week or so's recuperation time.
Folwren, Pio, Boro, and Arestevana - you can do follow-ups if you wish about arriving in the city. How does that sound? -- Arry

Filled in my save. Did I do alright? I'm not sure if Viss would actually be there, but I'm assuming that if they're in the Stonecut Halls, it's probably his home and since it is his son after all...well, tell me what you think, you other dwarves.

Will the Orcs be following this time jump too? Or are we still just sort of on our own schedule?
Kath - the battle is finished; your character is still alive (at least, no one wrote his death...). I finished the Orcs off with their retreat. I should tomorrow have a post up for arriving back in camp; feel free to jump in, recounting your character's experiences in the battle etc once you've caught up. ![]() |

Folwren
Using Viss was a good move. Your post was well done. ------------------- Pio Do you want to write the entry into the city itself? Then Folwren, if you want, you can post something about Bror's thoughts about the city - has he ever been there? ------------------- I think then we (the Dwarves) should leave the Lorien Elves with the Mirdain and hie it back to our own homes. Don't you think? We'll want to make sure our own preparations against Sauron and his minions are well in place. When the time jump is made, we can decide then if we want our characters in the Elven city or whether we will continue our guerilla warfare tactics against them from the rear. I do recall Tolkien writing that at the end, when Elrond and his troops have arrived too late to save the city, but have managed to round up a number of survivors, that Sauron and his army attack them viciously. Elrond and company's retreat is cut off and he and his Elves nearly killed, when King Durin III and an army of Dwarves come out of Moria and rush Sauron's army from behind. Elrond and the survivors of the Mirdain are able to flee to the area that will become Imladris. Sauron chases the Dwarves back to Moria where they seal the West Gate against him.

That was a little repetitive, but I hope that made at least a little sense, and answered your questions... Thanks, Arry. Your plan for the Dwarves sounds good, and I recall something like that, as well. I kinda threw the Dwarves into the mix with the Elves for simplicity's sake in the beginning, but I'm sure going for more accuracy is probably a better idea. The Dwarves are well established in the game, and now (well, soon) they can go back and do their own thing...and then it won't be long until their needed for some rescuing. How does that sound to everyone else, particularly the other Dwarves? Think it's do-able? |

Arry is only moving the Dwarves ahead by a week or so - so we injured ones have enough time to recover.
He'll get us heading out the West Gate and down the road to Ost-in-edhil. I'll pick up there and bring us into the city itself. Firefoot and other Orcs Do you want to put up SAVES after Arry's post? Anyone else?

Thanks, Pio. I thought it was a week...but I also thought I might be losing my mind!
![]() And actually, I just put up a Save (I promise I'll stay out of the way, though) and I'll have my post up later today. EDIT: Save filled. I hope that's alright, Alcarillo. I hope Cainenyo didn't have work to do at the docks...or if he did, that he's already done it... Of course, work could always pull him away. I thought I'd get some conversation going, though...just nice to introduce the two before we move one. ![]() Last edited by Durelin; 08-24-2005 at 12:23 PM. |

Durelin, your post was great. Cainenyo had no work, and just likes to watch the people go by and the boats move about and the city become alive.

Take what time you need or put up a SAVE to finish your characters' conversation to your satisfaction. I can post the Dwarves and Elves arrival anytime. ~*~ Pio

Alcarillo - I've filled in my save, and I hope my post is alright. I left the conversation open to be continued, but I think I brought it to a satisfactory end as well, so it is whatever you wish to do. If you'd like to continue it and finish it, please do. If not, I think it is perfectly fine to consider it ended.
![]() Onward! EDIT: Lindon Elves, and anyone else - Would you like to do any posts before the time jump/a transition post? Let me know as soon as you can. But don't worry, I'll put a save or two up, just in case. ![]() Last edited by Durelin; 08-25-2005 at 04:25 PM. |

-------------------------------------- Arry, are you ever really intending on taking some sort of revenge on Bror's little prank? I'd thought for certain that you'd forgotten it, but then you mentioned it after the battle...

I have sad news, though... Boromir88 has PMed me saying that he is unable to continue his commitment to this game. I am discussing options for carrying along his character with him, though he has mentioned killing him off. I'll let everyone know when I hear back from him, unless he'd rather post on the discussion thread himself. |

Alas, Boromir88 bites the dust...
![]() If possible, since I have nothing better to do, I could possibly handle Boromir's character. If that is acceptable, I will review his character, and determine if it is my interest to do so. ![]() |

Just wanted to say a few things and explain it...
I'm deeply sorry for doing this, something that I didn't expect to come up so early in the off-season. We've had to make a bunch of lay offs due to some financial problems, and I keep finding myself getting farther and farther behind in posting in the game. I think it is better that Orin can be carried along, instead of having him die. Today, I was off and going to make a post of him quietly dying in his sleep, but I agree that carrying along would be much more enjoyable. Perhaps, some other interested RPGer could take his spot? I will try to follow along as I've enjoyed the posting and gaming that has gone on so far and I think the best is still to come. Again, I regret having to do this. Edit: Captain, it would be great for you to take on Orin's character, if it's no problem to you. I think that is a much better idea than having him die in his sleep, thanks.

Erm if the elves and dwarves are about to arrive .. can someone give me a approximate date for where we are? IE if we have moved on from winter 1695.... I may have to turn mid-wife pronto......

My SAVE is filled. the Dwarves and Elves of Lorien are now in the city.
Whoever is playing Orin, I gave the character a silver horn and let him herald the company's advance to the city's gates.

Just to let everyone know, I will be away from Sunday (tomorrow) to Thursday. I'm going to try and get a post up tonight, sending the orcs on their way across the mountains.
EDIT: Post is up, it's pretty short but it gets them going. See you all in a few days. ![]() Last edited by Encaitare; 08-27-2005 at 05:41 PM. |

Another question... ^_^ Can you tell I like to have my details straight?
I'm thinking in terms of my next post, and being that Encai set Kharn up at the back to harry those who were falling back, I'm seeing some real potential for some healthy ruckus amongsth the Orcs. However, serious trouble with the Second in Command would almost invariably involve the Captain, so I would want to make sure Encai was able to respond appropriately. So the gist of that is wondering whether she will probably be back for the time jump or not. Or should I just go by the assumption that if she isn't back in time, a post can just be inserted in the appropriate spot?
If not, I can make my post a little less intense so that Encai wouldn't have to respond. Whatever works. |

Like I said, I will be back on Thursday. I may be able to reply that night depending on what time I get home. Durelin, don't hold up the time jump if you were planning on doing it before that! My response could always be inserted in the appropriate place.
