Blair is Nura's brother, who Amanduial will be playing as a secondary character.
Amanduial would you like the honours of making his character description?

I think we have everyone. But we only have...I think six searchers and one follower!
Feadhros Harlon Thoriel Garen Jemel And Sultir. Okay, so we have five searchers and one follower. Am I missing someone? That doesn't seem like many. Shall we just go and save Nuhrive before they get too far away? Aylwen [ January 12, 2003: Message edited by: Aylwen Dreamsong ]

Im sorry everyone.
Right, Nuhrive is going to attempt an escape, with the aid of Nura-if thats ok Ivy. Whether she gets away completely is up to yonder bad guys. Maybe she will be found by the easterlings and they will decide to kill her now, to save themselves the trouble, or maybe just make do with a beating? And the searchers will find them in the nick of time and there will be an appropriate battle? I dont know; how do you bad guys feel on the matter of dying? (A profound question...) I will post when I get back. Please dont post until I have. Oh well. I was never meant to be a very long RP. [ January 13, 2003: Message edited by: Amanaduial the archer ]

Roll out the barrels, right?
No, I meant if there is an argy bargy (just to vary words from plain old fight), then its a bit dull if everyone survives. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Im sorry, its not nessesary for anyone to die really. I wasnt going to kill of someone elses character!

That's right, that what happens when you're in two games with one person [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

There seems to be a lot going on with the wild men, but what's happening with the searchers? We're still waiting in Galadriel's halls, and I am quite uncertain what to do [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]. Should the searchers leave soon, even if they are a diminuitive party, or should we wait for more?

Yes, the searchers should leave soon. They're letting the kidnappers get too far away. The longer they wait to leave, the less chance they'll have of finding Nuhrive, alive or dead.

Well, it is true...the searchers don;t know what's going on in the kidnappers' camp.
Sultir can't go anywhere until the adults leave. He may be sneaking off, but he's not foolosh enough to sneak off with no support at all. He wants the adults somewhere nearby in case something goes wrong and he needs help.

ne Gareth ne Liborian ne duke ne comte;
I am Garen LiLorien. A mangled version of the Coucy family theme, perhaps, but I hope it got the point across. To say it more plainly; stop calling me Gareth! Gareth was Garen's great-great-whatever grandfather [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Oh, and by the way. Garen LiLorian (my nick) was a sixteenth century French knight. My character is Garen LiLorien. As in Lothlorien. The resemblance suggested the name and position to me, so it's not just a spelling error. Thank you for your time. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

...interesting about your nick! Funny how back in the day instead of popstars they had kings and knights. Was it spelled LiLorien, or le Lorien?
On the subject of bad guys dying, at this stage I'd rather noone killed Skara, unless I change my mind further down the line. I think it would be interesting if at least he and Rû-Sahn could live to fight another day. They are both cunning and resourceful, and I'm sure they could somehow escape without being destroyed. The raiding party was originally 13 men plus Skara (excluding Nura), so there's plenty of other baddies to chop up. Not sure about Blair, since he hasn't really had much to say so far, maybe whoever is controlling him can post a decision. If he was killed it would give Nura more reason to stay with the Elves, if that is what eventually will happen. Or maybe he just pushes her too far. I dunno, I'm sure someone will post something appropriate to sever their family ties. Shouldn't Nura have yelled out "sorry to boar you!" or "hope you're not getting boared" or something like that? Too Asterix?

If any good guys want to die, to add some sadness to what will obviously be yet another victory for the accursed goodies, please PM myself or Rû-Sahn. I'll make it as quick and painless as I can, I promise (said with one large, calloused hand behind his back). Of course, it would be possible that no good guys are killed.

It's also possible that no bad guys are killed, but in any case, I can see Sultir being captured (stupid little kid not paying attention to where he's riding!) and they might kill him if they didn't want to try and make him a slave.

No! Sultir cant die!!!
If there are that many NPCs, then the eplves have plenty of victims anyway, if need be. Dont kill any played characters then.

I definatley wouldn't want Harlon to be killed. But I wouldn't mind him getting a broken arm or leg. (No deadly injuries please)

Please remember to disable sigs on the RPG thread!
Kill as many NPC baddies as you like. There's 13 men, and Nura in the group. 3 men are PCs including Blair. I think it's highly unlikely that no men at all would be killed. It will probably come down to 'kill or be killed' for the elves, and I don't see much hope for pacifism.

Could someone please enlighten me on what Garen said? I would like to learn elvish but I have not the time.

Good Guys,
I'm not sure about Garen's elvish, but I thought you'd be asking me what Jemel said. I'm sorry I couldn't write it in Sindarin, so the elvish you see in my last post was Quenyan. "Elmë ista elyë nar tanna!" translates roughly to "We know you are here!" "Mana nar elyë carya sinomë, Sultir?" translates, again, roughly, to "What are you doing here, Sultir?" There, just in case you were wondering. Though you'll have to get Garen to translate his piece for you. These are of course, rough translations, but it will do, hopefully. Aylwen

Well, my syntax is pretty awful, but it was basically
"Daro amin, Usquener!" is "Drop me, stinky one" "Dina, hin" is "silence, child" and "En mani amin utue!" is literally "Look what I found" but I don't know if it is correct grammatically. Sorry for the confusion. There's been so much Elvish flying around in this game, I assumed everyone knew it.

Thanks Garen!
About injuries, I truly don't mind if Thoriel gets seriously injured. You can deprive her of a limb if you really want but nothing worse than that.

Sultir can't be discovered yet, it's much much too soon.

I thought it was a given that he'd follow them for a while before being dicovered. He is a Elf after all, by which I mean he's more stealthy than you've made him out to be. Also, Faedhros (and possibly Jemeth, though I'm not too sure) understand about Nuhrive, so they might just continue to ignore the rustling, like they did at first.
edit: Thanks for deleting your post Ithaeliel. Garen, I hope you don't mind what I've done to your character. If you do, let me know and I'll gladly find another way to hide. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [ January 19, 2003: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

I deleted my post as well, which was after Garen's. I thought we may have been finding Sultir too fast. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
In my last post, I used elvish again. Sorry! I couldn't help it! So, here are the rought translations! "Mana ne sinomë i aldan?" is basically "What is in the bushes?" and "Inyë harya lá atta quetequë," is basically, "I have nothing to report," Don't worry, Jemel won't give away Sultir! Aylwen

Oops. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] Sorry. I just assumed it had all been worked out over PM.
No problem with character changes. To tell the truth, I was a little surprised I was chosen to grab Sultir anyway, as there's probably someone in the group a little better suited to tracking and sneaking than the big clumsy Man. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
