AAHHH!! What ... happened??? Burzdol! Did you die??? You've got to tell people what you're doing before you just fall unconscious by an orkish sword and arrow!

A very flustered,
Fanawen

Himaran · 03-09-2003, 09:41 PM

Hmm.... Burzdol, you have just thrown in an interesting twist. Where is your character lying down? We need to know so someone can find you.

Himaran

Himaran · 03-09-2003, 09:58 PM

And, remember: PLEASE don't do anything drastic in the story without having told everyone. It makes it easier to follow if we know what everyone has in mind. Of course, it is fine for members to get injured or killed. Just let us know in this thread first.

Thanks, Himaran

maikafanawen · 03-09-2003, 10:28 PM

I've given some of the medicines that Kementurien gave me to the Gondorian ranger healer guy. What is it you had in mind Burzdol? You're not going to die are you?

Note to gamers:

This game needed to be over in 2 months from when it started. We are not yet to the halfway point in that time period, but we are closing in on it. Thus, we must not waste time at Weathertop. We need lots of time for the Caradhras, and of course the last battle, both essential to the story.

Tomorrow, I will compress time so that Arlome and Einin can rejoin the group at Weathertop. Then we will be off for Rivendell, and Hathalas can meet us.

Thus, you have today and part of Tuesday to make a "coming back with supplies and finding injured Burzdol" post, but that is all the time we have for you to do this.

Himaran

Earendil Halfelven · 03-10-2003, 01:34 PM

I'm going to have Arlome and Einen catch up now so that we can get going.

Burzdol · 03-10-2003, 03:33 PM

Okay. Here's my idea:

Himaran (Bali) finds me near the wagon. I am unconcious and fading. You rush me to Ani Dao to get medicine. I slowly recover as we go to Rivendell. There I am cured more by the elves. I will be fine, so don't worrying about me falling behind. To me it'll be just like an annoying, but painful, scratch.

Sound good to you guys?

~Burzdol Laioreon~

maikafanawen · 03-10-2003, 03:56 PM

You gave poor Ani Dao a heart attack, Burzdol.

Burzdol · 03-10-2003, 05:57 PM

Sorry, next time I'll just stab you and get it over with. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Just joking.

~Burzdol~

Hathalas Ashen-Shield · 03-10-2003, 07:18 PM

When you guys fell its time to meet you just finish off your post with "Suddenly, a rustling in the bushes to their right caught the company's attention. They had a sinking feeling in their hearts that it could be more orcs, and how would Burzdol survive? The bushes shook a bit more, and the company readied their arms...?" and then i'll just pop out and introduce myself saying that i was a scout etc. etc.

Hathalas Ashen-Shield · 03-10-2003, 08:02 PM

Sound good?

Arvedui III · 03-10-2003, 08:11 PM

Fine by me. Dunno when we're gonna get close enough to you though...
PM Himaran to know for sure.

[ March 10, 2003: Message edited by: Arvedui III ]

Himaran · 03-11-2003, 08:10 AM

Hathalas: Good idea about the bushes, but if you are on a horse (like a true elven scout in that region) it would make more sense for you to meet us on the road.

Everyone else: We have now left Weathertop, bound for Rivendell! So you can once again do some nice pretty posts about the surrounding areas. Remember, we are passing through forest now, or open grassy plains with snow. It is cold and windy.

I have started to think about an idea for an orc attack (by the same group) once we meet Hathalas. If he fights alongside us, it will strengthen his friendship with us.

Give me any ideas for subplots along the way.

Himaran

Burzdol · 03-11-2003, 04:22 PM

That sounds good to me.

~Burzdol~

Himaran · 03-11-2003, 04:53 PM

Burzdol: Please edit your last post; the wagon is broken and we cannot take it with us. Burzdol is riding unsteadily on his horse.

Thanks! Himaran.

maikafanawen · 03-11-2003, 09:03 PM

I'm very confused with where we are in the story. Himaran, can you do one of those outlines pretty please?

-Maikafanawen

Carlas · 03-11-2003, 09:10 PM

I think we are on our way to rivendell!

Hathalas Ashen-Shield · 03-11-2003, 09:15 PM

You are, and I'm eventually going to meet the company on the road, and then there will be another orc attack, and then will get to Rivendell

Himaran · 03-11-2003, 09:18 PM

We are on the way to Rivendell. The wagon was left behind. The dwarves are walking and everyone else is on horseback. After people post I will compress time and signal Hathalas to enter the game.

Himaran

Arien · 03-12-2003, 08:24 AM

I have set up the meeting between Hathalas and the company. Himaran, I have just read your above post. I can edit it if yo a re not happy.

[ March 12, 2003: Message edited by: Arien ]

Arien · 03-12-2003, 08:53 AM

I just read your post Hathalas, it was good, but one question if this is after the war of the Ring hasn't Lord Elrond already departed from Middle Earth?

Carlas · 03-12-2003, 02:27 PM

Did Hathelas introduce himself yet? Earendil welcomed him, calling him Hathelas but he never said it in the RPG to the company, did he? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] <---confused face even though it just looks sad...

Arien · 03-12-2003, 02:30 PM

Yes he did Carlas

maikafanawen · 03-12-2003, 03:58 PM

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAHAHAAHAHAAAA. Oh my ...

Nevermind, had to get that out.

Yes, Elrond has left so Hathalas should probably edit that out, as well as the little bit with Arlome. Rivendell is all but deserted.

I'm a little out of ideas for what to post so I might hold off on that for now.

Ergh ... I always have a question and then I forget it!

-Maikafanawen

Carlas · 03-12-2003, 04:06 PM

I think we are going to be attacked by orcs again but we should probably wait for Himaran!

Maika:good job making it into Swan Woods!

Frodess · 03-12-2003, 07:22 PM

I'm thinking that I want to get Yanithë lost. She sneaks off away from the others (just for a bit) because she thinks she hears horse hooves. No one really notices because of the new visitor. I'm gonna say that her past is working on her and she thinks she sees the Rohan guy who was her crush thing and she's going to get into a trap. Ideas?

Hathalas Ashen-Shield · 03-12-2003, 07:26 PM

Maybe you should do that while we set up camp after we travel a bit after the 2nd orc attack, but PM Himaran about it.

Hathalas Ashen-Shield · 03-12-2003, 10:08 PM

If you look at my last post you'll see i've been poisoned. Since Ani Dao has poultices in her provision bag on Uesse, it can be used on me, and therefore, another reason why I should help you on Caradhras and Erebor! Don't worry I wouldn't kill myself out just when I got introduced [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] .

Himaran · 03-13-2003, 08:43 AM

Hathalas: I have set it up so that you are carried out of the fighting by Belegond on horseback. He will give you poisen treatment.

Yanithe: It sounds like a good idea, but wait until we make camp. It will make another thing for us to do, (searching for you, that its), while we go to Rivendell.

Himaran · 03-13-2003, 08:46 AM

Gamers: By Friday morning (tomorrow), the orc attack needs to be finished. Perhaps Hathalas was part of a patrol group and the other elves will come to rescue us. Anyone can do anything, just get the orcs to retreat.

Himaran

maikafanawen · 03-13-2003, 08:40 PM

How much longer do we have to spend on this? This is so much fun I wish it would go on until May! Yeah well, we're moving right along. Although we still have Rivendell, Caradhras, Mirkwood, and all that stuff to get to.

Himaran: Check your PMs pretty please

-Maikafanawen

Arien · 03-14-2003, 01:27 AM

Fanawen how can Belegond and Hathalas be on Duelen and also Ani Dao and Burzdol? Also Duelen is Belegonds horse, and she is also a Meara and is fast so wouldnt it be hard to catch up with them. Unless I misinturpreted your post. I probably did.

[ March 14, 2003: Message edited by: Arien ]

Himaran · 03-14-2003, 08:08 AM

Update on the game: The dwarves are walking, Ani Dao and Burzdol are riding after Belegond and Hathalas, yet on the same horse [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img], and the four that are left with the dwarves (and Sarello) can ride off or stay with us.

Here is my idea: Since the dwarves have not been able to fight very much, I want everyone else to be headed for Rivendell, except those without horses. Put in a "I reached Rivendell" post for your character.

Then something else will happen to the dwarves, but they will make it out and then I will compress time and have the dwarves make it to Rivendell. Sound good? Pm me if your confused....

Himaran

Carlas · 03-14-2003, 09:46 AM

Im leaving for a couple of days and will not have access to a computer. I have asked Maika/Fanawen/Ani Dao to play my charactor if needed!

See you when I get back! ~Carlas~

PS. don't have too much fun without me!

Earendil Halfelven · 03-14-2003, 12:51 PM

To all the Rangers:

I guess since we are going to be in Rivendell, which has a big part in the history of the dunedain, that the Rangers discuss their lineage. What I mean, if your confused, is that since there are so few of the dunedain, that they would obviously talk to eachother and establish which lineage they are from. For example, my character arlome is from the northern line of the heirs of Isildur. While creating my character, I wanted him to be a ranger, so I found in appendix A in LOTR all the names and the lineage of Isildur and Anarion. If you look in the northern line of the heirs of Isildur under chieftains, which arlome is a part of, the names all begin with a "ar-" or a "ara-". that means like "noble" (I think) in elvish. that is the similarity that I noticed, so thats what I did with arlome.

Anyways, with the others, like Belegond, (Isn't he a ranger from Rohan?), he could be in the southern line of the heirs of Anarion. Belelgond's name is similar to a lot of the ruling stewards so it could be possible that Belegond comes from that line.
just a suggestion [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I believe that this would add more depth to the RPG than just "Blah blah blah shot an orc with his arrows, than took out his sword-". do you guys see what I mean? or is this just a dumb suggestion?

Arien · 03-14-2003, 01:01 PM

No its a good suggestion, and that is where I derived the name from! Belegond is in the line of Anarion!!! Well that what I wanted. I agree it would add some depth to the story and allow the rangers to make a bond. But all the Rangers have to be a Rivendell so we can do it over 1 night or something. I look forward to doing it.

Himaran · 03-14-2003, 01:35 PM

Eruantalon's father is was a ranger, so he has some connection to them. He will probably be someone's cousin. Yes, I think that linage discussions would be a good topic around a warm fire at Rivendell.

The only people left in the group walking are Astarielle, the dwarves, Yanithe, and Eruantalon.

Frodess: you will probably want Yanithe to stay with the dwarves due to your idea for a subplot. Eruantalon is staying also.

Astarielle: You are free to head for Rivendell, but if you want to see a little more action, you can stay with us.

Himaran

maikafanawen · 03-14-2003, 04:05 PM

Whoops. I goofed on my post. I thought Burzdol's horse was Duelen ... well whatever his horses' name is then that's who we're riding. I left Uesse behind obviously so ... just make sure she gets to Rivendell or whatever pretty please.

Carlas: I wouldn't mind taking over Carlas/Durin while you are out of town or what not.

Also, in another RPG, I have a character named Annanoldowen, who is a Galadriel/Elrond type person (female) and she will be in Rivendell awaiting us if that's okay. Her bio is in Rohan: Swan Wood Discussion, and if you think it would be a good idea I can play her for the short time we are in Rivendell, since Elrond's gone we're gonna need a sort of Head of Rivendell character. What do you think?

-Maikafanawen

Himaran · 03-14-2003, 05:02 PM

-Fanawen: Sure, you can use her at Rivendell.

Himaran

maikafanawen · 03-14-2003, 07:53 PM

This is the Bio for my intermediate character:

*********************************************
Name: Annanoldowen (which means Gift of Knowledge)

Race: Elf from Rivendell

Age: about 4 and a half thousand years (around the age of Galadriel and Elrond)

Physical description (height, eye colour, hair colour, clothing etc): Stands very tall, about 6 and half feet, and is very slender. She has soft gray eyes, and long blonde hair that falls in ringlets down her back. Annanoldowen is used to wearing the dresses of royalty of Rivendell. For traveling purposes she wears a dark gray riding dress and carries an elvish sword.

Background: Was educated well about the histories of Middle Earth, and is very wise among the elven race. She travels across Middle Earth at the will of Elrond to learn more about its peoples and relations. She has the standard skills of healing and tracking, just enough to survive. She was also taught in hand to hand combat incase she needed to defend herself when there was no access to any weapons. When Elrond left for the undying lands, and Annanoldowen was given the choice, she decided to stay in Middle Earth instead of going with him, because she felt that the people in Middle Earth could benefit from her knowledge. Her family was disappointed, but she was resolved. The elf stayed in Rivendell, which was all but deserted, studying the ways of her people in ancient times. Annanoldowen was beckoned by King Elessar to help educate scholars in the ways of the elves. She became a good companion of the king and his wife, Arwen Undomiel, an old friend. She carries a sword with the words: Annanoldowen, daughter of Rivendell inscribed on the blade in elvish and silver vines entwine the hilt. She doesn’t use a bow, because it is too awkward to carry on her journeys, and she is not so good at it, anyways. Now she runs what is left of the people of Rivendell.

Any special features: Also wears a silver feather pendant on a leather string around her neck.
*********************************************

Alright. Should she send messengers to Lothlorien and Mirkwood too to get an army of some sort together that comes to aid Erebor at the last moment? THey would arrive towards the very end of the RPG. It's just an idea, but I don't think the arrival of our company will defeat the enemy ... any thoughts from anybody?

Since Ani Dao has poultices in her provision bag on Uesse, it can be used on me, and therefore, another reason why I should help you on Caradhras and Erebor! Don't worry I wouldn't kill myself out just when I got introduced [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] . __________________ ~And thou Melkor, wilt discover all the secret thoughts of thy mind~ Illuvatar

He will give you poisen treatment. Yanithe: It sounds like a good idea, but wait until we make camp. It will make another thing for us to do, (searching for you, that its), while we go to Rivendell.

Perhaps Hathalas was part of a patrol group and the other elves will come to rescue us. Anyone can do anything, just get the orcs to retreat. Himaran

Yeah well, we're moving right along. Although we still have Rivendell, Caradhras, Mirkwood, and all that stuff to get to. Himaran: Check your PMs pretty please -Maikafanawen __________________ "They call this war a cloud over the land.

Arien Shade of Carn Dûm Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: London/Leeds UK Posts: 417	Fanawen how can Belegond and Hathalas be on Duelen and also Ani Dao and Burzdol? Also Duelen is Belegonds horse, and she is also a Meara and is fast so wouldnt it be hard to catch up with them. Unless I misinturpreted your post. I probably did.

Himaran Ash of Orodruin Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Thangorodrim Posts: 777	Update on the game: The dwarves are walking, Ani Dao and Burzdol are riding after Belegond and Hathalas, yet on the same horse [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img], and the four that are left with the dwarves (and Sarello) can ride off or stay with us. Here is my idea: Since the dwarves have not been able to fight very much, I want everyone else to be headed for Rivendell, except those without horses. Put in a "I reached Rivendell" post for your character. Then something else will happen to the dwarves, but they will make it out and then I will compress time and have the dwarves make it to Rivendell. Sound good? Pm me if your confused.... Himaran

What I mean, if your confused, is that since there are so few of the dunedain, that they would obviously talk to eachother and establish which lineage they are from. For example, my character arlome is from the northern line of the heirs of Isildur. While creating my character, I wanted him to be a ranger, so I found in appendix A in LOTR all the names and the lineage of Isildur and Anarion. If you look in the northern line of the heirs of Isildur under chieftains, which arlome is a part of, the names all begin with a "ar-" or a "ara-". that means like "noble" (I think) in elvish. that is the similarity that I noticed, so thats what I did with arlome. Anyways, with the others, like Belegond, (Isn't he a ranger from Rohan?), he could be in the southern line of the heirs of Anarion. Belelgond's name is similar to a lot of the ruling stewards so it could be possible that Belegond comes from that line. just a suggestion [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I believe that this would add more depth to the RPG than just "Blah blah blah shot an orc with his arrows, than took out his sword-". do you guys see what I mean? or is this just a dumb suggestion? __________________ In nomini domine saboath sui filique ite ad infernos.
