OoC: Umm, I'm not quite sure as to how you want your Ent to talk, seeing as they've got their own particular dialect... so if you want to fill in your Ent's message or if someone else wants to give it a go...

....To talk like Treebeard? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] That is way beyond me! Someone else can do it if they like; I really don't mind.

The other possibility is that the Entwives have been apart from the Ents for so long that they sound very different. Indeed, they may very well sound like an Easterling, since this is where they've been for a ton of years.

Day Vampyre, I will bow to your judgment on this one! Perhaps, to make the conversation believable, someone is going to have to use Peachblossom in their own post to set up some give and take--question and answer. All the basic facts have been laid out; Peachblossom would know the basic plan but nothing else.

Whatever you decide is fine.

Brinniel,

I don't mind putting it in at the end of my own post with a special heading showing it's yours (as long as it flows into what comes later)....

Cami/Child

Lyra Greenleaf · 09-15-2003, 03:05 PM

What does anyone... everyone... have in mind for the captive Entwives as personified by Lightbark?

Also, Child, I know Altair is Saelonia's messenger to his father, but will he start from Saelonia's group, on his journey to the Khan, with the Khan or on his journey from the Khan? Which one fits with the timings?

Child of the 7th Age · 09-15-2003, 05:10 PM

Brinniel,

I pasted in your post as requested. I think it reads alright in relation Day Vampyre's. But if either of you feel revisions are needed, just suggest them here and I'll paste them in.

Lyra,

I'll get back with you shortly.

Cami

DayVampyre · 09-15-2003, 06:56 PM

reads right to me...And I hope to the good lord above that someone can talk for our ent-lady...I know I can't. Not without it sounding like Treebeard on a little trip...

PeachBlossom: HooMMMMerer,HooMMMerer, beware hastyness, HooMMMMerer, HuuMMMerer, Easterlings, hasty,HuuMMMerer,HooMMMer
Mattius: (Stares, sorta perplexed)
Radagast: What's going on here? Where's the real Ent-Wife?
Adaja: ShE'S HerE tO kILl uS aLl!!!!

Brinniel · 09-15-2003, 08:15 PM

My post seems to fit quite well before DV's. In fact, it fits even better than I had expected. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

As for the Ent and Entwife talk: I glanced back over 'The Two Towers,' and I noticed that save Treebeard, the Ents did not use the words, "hoom," or "hmm," that often. Looking at Bregalad's lines, I can see he only used those words a few times. Otherwise, he spoke the same type of words anyone else would speak, though I noticed his main subject was nature (which is typical for an Ent).
I'd imagine that Peachblossom's voice would sound slow, like the Ents, and rather low pitched for a female.

Hope that helps.

Child of the 7th Age · 09-15-2003, 11:13 PM

Day Vampyre - That was very funny! If I made her sound like that, everybody would be rolling in the aisles. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Brinniel - I think you're right. Whoever speaks for Peachblossom, let's try to keep it fairly straightforward. Otherwise, I'm afraid that she might come over sounding like a parody which is isn't quite what we had in mind!

But, anyone is welcome to pick up the conversation with her at this point.

Is there an Elf to speak with Peachblossom and tend her wounds and get those crazy chains off?

Lyra, Brinniel, or whoever is carrying Lingalad or someone I've forgotten? She would have been faster to trust an Elf than any other creature.

Cami/Child

VanimaEdhel · 09-20-2003, 02:53 PM

I'm assuming since no one said, "Nooooooo! Vanima, you FOOOOOOL!" that my post is all right? Or did you want me to be more than about a party of ten for the search and capture?

Brinniel · 09-21-2003, 01:42 AM

Actually, it might be a good idea to add more than ten to the Easterling party, since there's about nine or ten of us good guys. It would be more understandable why some of the good guys get killed if we're outnumbered by a fairly large number.

Day Vampyre- Do you think you could delete that ooc bit from your last post? There's not really any need for it anymore.

VanimaEdhel · 09-21-2003, 03:06 PM

The group has been doubled. *bows* We're coming to get you now...mahaha... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel · 09-26-2003, 03:57 PM

Just a little question: where is everyone?

Child of the 7th Age · 09-26-2003, 05:38 PM

Vanima,

I'm waiting for an Elf to respond to Peachblossom's last post....

Cami

Brinniel · 09-26-2003, 11:43 PM

Mark12_30 had a nice post going, but she deleted it, probably because she made the decision not to participate in the RPG after all.

I would post, but I just came back from my school's homecoming football game, so I'm a bit exhausted at the moment. I'll be gone pretty much all day tomorrow, so I'll try to post Sunday.

VanimaEdhel · 09-27-2003, 03:23 PM

Okay...I was thinking more along the lines of some other baddies so I know where they are...the other baddies are still playing, right?

Child of the 7th Age · 09-28-2003, 07:11 PM

Vanima,

I have two Easterling baddies. But I also have Peachblossom. My preference is to stick to her until she is recaptured, since I donn't like playing two sides of the fence at once.

Then I will be happy to wreck havoc with you!

Cami/Child

mark12_30 · 09-30-2003, 07:56 AM

Brinniel, did you get my PM, and do you approve of it (injuring LinGalad vice killing him off)?

Awaiting your reply and permission before I post, --mark12_30

VanimaEdhel · 09-30-2003, 04:34 PM

It's okay, Child...I was just wondering where the other already-bad characters were hiding...I kind of wanted to wait for them to get on the road with me or wherever they were so that they had a chance to post before I pushed on.

mark12_30 · 09-30-2003, 08:57 PM

...looks like the tentative plan is to leave LinGalad badly wounded after the upcoming conflict (instead of dead). That way he can resurface/return later, healed up, as the opportunity arises. Brinniel doesn't like the idea of leaving him IN the forest... so nearby will be fine, I guess.

Now about that wounded Entwife...

(edit)

I tried to leave an opening for everybody. But it's awfully quiet out there.

Mark 12_30 and others,

Peachblossom has finally gotten her act together and responded.

I believe there may be strange sounds in the forest which do not bode well for your party, or for the Entwife.

There were points where I put words in people's mouths. If anyone is uncomfortable, let me know....

Ummm...other Easterlings? I'm kind of waiting on them so I know which want to be in my troup and which want to be back with the other Easterlings. At least PM me with what you want me to do with your character.

Child of the 7th Age · 10-08-2003, 11:50 PM

I definitely think we need some guidance from one of the founders on this situation... Day Vampyre, Brinniel, where are you?

I have two baddie characters, and also Lyra has one. If you want, I am willing to do a set-up post with Azunal describing the tracking party in general terms and the fact that they've arrived at the camp where the Entwife is, and you and Lyra can take it from there. Would this help or not?

Are there any more baddies that I've forgotten?

I know Lyra had some questions about where her Easterling fit in that we never clearly addressed. But right now we could sure use him in the scouting group.

Cami/Child

DayVampyre · 10-09-2003, 02:50 PM

right now the best course of action, I think would be for you to go through with what you seem to already have planned.

I think that idea would work best.

Vanima- You're still planning for Kalir to depart from the group later on, isn't that right? Where will that be happening? Do you think you could play him along with your baddie until he is no longer with the group? Just a thought...

Child of the 7th Age · 10-12-2003, 09:55 AM

Now about that wounded Entwife...

The wounded Entwife will be dragged back by a small party to her sisters on the plantation.

We needed to prune out some characters in order to give justice to the ones that are left.

Helen - If you'd like to play her on the road, let me know and you'd be welcome to do that. I am concentrating on my two baddies after this - Azunal and Saelonia.

You'll have to say something fast, or the baddies will drag her away...

Cami/Child

VanimaEdhel · 10-12-2003, 12:34 PM

Okay: can-do with Kalir.

And yay: baddies coming to join me!

I think we can get rid of Anarya since she doesn't have a very important role. And as for Endereth, I'm planning to write her death scene. Just to add some drama... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Child of the 7th Age · 10-14-2003, 12:35 AM

I have filled in my save briefly describing the general assault.

I'm still waiting for Vanima to fill in her save.

Vanima, where did you go?

Child of the 7th Age · 10-23-2003, 05:56 AM

Brinniel,

I sent Vanima a reminder pm this morning. Why don't we give her a a few days to respond? If she doesn't surface by the weekend, maybe we should go ahead.

If necessary, there would be plenty of time for her to add in a post later, since the fight will undoubtedly take a while to play out. Since there are relatively few of us, we'll each have to do some description of both sides in our posts anyways.

How does that sound?

Cami/Child

Brinniel · 10-23-2003, 08:29 PM

Good to see you back, Vanima. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yay! We can finally get back to the RPG. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Unfortunately, my post will have to wait until another day. I've only just begun an English essay that's due tomorrow. Gah! I better get back to working on it. Later.

VanimaEdhel · 10-25-2003, 04:09 PM

The Navster's dead... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I really liked him...maybe I'll give him his own story at some point.

Ah well...time to finish this battle off, I suppose?

Child of the 7th Age · 10-26-2003, 10:08 AM

Vanima and others,

How about this?

I think if Peachblossom was there looking at the death and carnage, she would feel terribly guilty. She instinctively knows the main reason the Easterlings are there is to get her back and her own capactity to fight is limited because of her wounds. In effect, she has brought death into the camp. She has passed on the information that she intended to, and now feels she must return to her captors to stop the carnage.

If no one objects, I'm thinking of doing a post like this: she attempts to fight but is herded back by torches. Then, wanting to put an end to the bloodshed, she literally gives herself up to the Easterlings.

You guys can decide then what you want to do with the fighting, whether to continue or stop: have the good guys retreat into the woods or fight on; have the Easterlings leave with the Entwife or continue fighting. Also, you may want me to do this surrender, but to give you more time on the fighting. Just let me know your preference and I'll comply.

I won't actually set this post up for a few days, since I want to let people see this note.

If you think something else would work better than this, let me know and I'll try to work with that instead.

Cami

mark12_30 · 10-26-2003, 10:53 AM

For one thing I've lost track of who is supposed to die off in this battle and who makes it through... what is Mattius' fate? Endereth? etc etc... guess I need to review the plans. More about that later.

But I don't think the company is likely to give up the Entwife without a much more desperate fight. She may feel guilty, but she's their only clue about this mess, and besides, elves like Ents. Maybe when the Easterlings come after her with torches, the company can hastily shove her into the stream and knock her over, and the torches are no longer a threat. They fight on, almost winning, but another group of Easterlings arrive, back the company into a corner, drag the Entwife out of the stream, and by then she goes with the Easterlings semi-willingly while the company is fighting their way out of the corner (during which, those company members doomed to die can have a nice dramatic death-scene.) By the time they are done fighting she's gone.

So now who gets to die off again...?

Edit: I read back to page seven and I still don't get who is going to die. Endereth, Anarya, Matiius, Radagast, and LinGalad are in one list. LinGalad gets wounded and sent away (perhaps to Kalir's farm) to recover. Who else is going to either die or leave?

[ October 26, 2003: Message edited by: mark12_30 ]

VanimaEdhel · 10-26-2003, 02:04 PM

I think that sounds like a great idea. Peachblossom would be greatly offended by the carnage at her expense. I think that it would be a very in-character thing to do. And we can't have too many in the party dying, or else there will be no party left. Just remember that.

And the other baddies should say which of theirs are going to die...or just Navru of us Easterlings?

Child of the 7th Age · 10-26-2003, 02:14 PM

Azunal will stay alive....

Brinniel · 10-26-2003, 02:40 PM

I'm thinking this: Peachblossom, upset by all the carnage, gives herself up. The Easterlings discontinue the fighting and leave with the Entwife. Our good guys continue fighting and try to prevent the Easterlings from taking Peachblossom, but are unsuccessful.

As for who dies: I believe Endereth and Anarya are the only two good guys who should die. Radagast cannot die really, and Mattius has returned to the BD, and though I'm still not sure if he'll continue the RPG with us, we should still leave his character open.

When it comes to the Easterling party, a good portion of them should die; maybe 10-12 of them. Of course, most of these are NPCs.

DayVampyre · 10-26-2003, 05:53 PM

Day Vampyre, Brinniel, where are you? I have two baddie characters, and also Lyra has one. If you want, I am willing to do a set-up post with Azunal describing the tracking party in general terms and the fact that they've arrived at the camp where the Entwife is, and you and Lyra can take it from there. Would this help or not? Are there any more baddies that I've forgotten? I know Lyra had some questions about where her Easterling fit in that we never clearly addressed. But right now we could sure use him in the scouting group. Cami/Child __________________ Multitasking women are never too busy to vote.

The wounded Entwife will be dragged back by a small party to her sisters on the plantation. We needed to prune out some characters in order to give justice to the ones that are left. Helen - If you'd like to play her on the road, let me know and you'd be welcome to do that. I am concentrating on my two baddies after this - Azunal and Saelonia. You'll have to say something fast, or the baddies will drag her away... Cami/Child __________________ Multitasking women are never too busy to vote.

Child of the 7th Age Spirit of the Lonely Star Join Date: Mar 2002 Posts: 5,133	Brinniel, I sent Vanima a reminder pm this morning. Why don't we give her a a few days to respond? If she doesn't surface by the weekend, maybe we should go ahead. If necessary, there would be plenty of time for her to add in a post later, since the fight will undoubtedly take a while to play out. Since there are relatively few of us, we'll each have to do some description of both sides in our posts anyways. How does that sound?

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Yay! We can finally get back to the RPG. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Unfortunately, my post will have to wait until another day. I've only just begun an English essay that's due tomorrow. Gah! I better get back to working on it. Later. __________________ Nolite te bastardes carborundorum

I think if Peachblossom was there looking at the death and carnage, she would feel terribly guilty. She instinctively knows the main reason the Easterlings are there is to get her back and her own capactity to fight is limited because of her wounds. In effect, she has brought death into the camp. She has passed on the information that she intended to, and now feels she must return to her captors to stop the carnage. If no one objects, I'm thinking of doing a post like this: she attempts to fight but is herded back by torches. Then, wanting to put an end to the bloodshed, she literally gives herself up to the Easterlings. You guys can decide then what you want to do with the fighting, whether to continue or stop: have the good guys retreat into the woods or fight on; have the Easterlings leave with the Entwife or continue fighting. Also, you may want me to do this surrender, but to give you more time on the fighting. Just let me know your preference and I'll comply. I won't actually set this post up for a few days, since I want to let people see this note. If you think something else would work better than this, let me know and I'll try to work with that instead.

mark12_30 Stormdancer of Doom Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Elvish singing is not a thing to miss, in June under the stars Posts: 4,349	For one thing I've lost track of who is supposed to die off in this battle and who makes it through... what is Mattius' fate? Endereth? etc etc... guess I need to review the plans. More about that later. But I don't think the company is likely to give up the Entwife without a much more desperate fight. She may feel guilty, but she's their only clue about this mess, and besides, elves like Ents. Maybe when the Easterlings come after her with torches, the company can hastily shove her into the stream and knock her over, and the torches are no longer a threat. They fight on, almost winning, but another group of Easterlings arrive, back the company into a corner, drag the Entwife out of the stream, and by then she goes with the Easterlings semi-willingly while the company is fighting their way out of the corner (during which, those company members doomed to die can have a nice dramatic death-scene.) By the time they are done fighting she's gone. So now who gets to die off again...? Edit: I read back to page seven and I still don't get who is going to die. Endereth, Anarya, Matiius, Radagast, and LinGalad are in one list. LinGalad gets wounded and sent away (perhaps to Kalir's farm) to recover. Who else is going to either die or leave?

VanimaEdhel Etheral Enchantress Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Wellesley College! Posts: 1,461	I think that sounds like a great idea. Peachblossom would be greatly offended by the carnage at her expense. I think that it would be a very in-character thing to do. And we can't have too many in the party dying, or else there will be no party left. Just remember that. And the other baddies should say which of theirs are going to die...or just Navru of us Easterlings? __________________ "I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long.
