Confessions From Helm's Deep
 
This game is a mix between an idea i had and a improv game that i played, it is a basic game which i hope to explain

it consists of two sentences, first sentence explains the last one (posted by a preivious downer) then the second one moves it along by making it worse

The first setence begins with "So" and the second sentence begins with "Well"

Example:

So I lost Gimli's axe because i was throwing it into the water to catch fish

Well, i ended up disturbing the watcher in the water


then the next downer replies in this sense:

So The Watcher didn't like axes being thrown at it and explained it to me why

Well, i decided to throw rocks into the water instead then



slowly, the story can keep going, it is like Unfortunately/Fortunately, story-wise, also try to keep it vaguely tolkien-eqsue

so if there isn't any questions, i'll start it off

So i decided to Visit the coronation of Aragorn and give him a Apple pie i baked for him

Well, it turns out he was allergic to Apple pie

The Sixth Wizard 04-25-2007 02:39 AM

Cool game!
 
So, King Elessar is allergic to apple pie and broke out in hives

Well, the hives made Arwen not want to kiss him and they never got married legally! :eek:

Gil-Galad 04-25-2007 08:19 AM

Alright Sixth, lets get this thread moving

So, With Arwen not being married to Aragorn, Legolas thought he can woo Arwen

Well, Arwen was already in love in Gimli and loved no other

Morwen 04-25-2007 10:10 AM

So, Arwen wrote Gimli a letter to tell him how she felt

Well, Legolas got a hold of the letter and decided to challenge Gimli to a duel

Boromir88 04-25-2007 10:17 AM

So, Gimli destroyed (literally) Legolas and won the duel.
Well, Arwen didn't want someone manlier than her so she lost interest in marrying Gimli.

Morwen 04-25-2007 11:16 AM

So meanwhile Aragorn was looking around for suitable bride

Well, the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain sent an embassy proposing that he marry Hanin, daughter of Dain

So Aragorn asked Gimli what dwarf women like

well, Aragorn thought Gimli said "Towers" instead of "Flowers"

Maeggaladiel 05-23-2007 05:57 PM

So, Aragorn built a tower for Arwen on a beautiful hillside in a gorgeous valley as a surprise.

Well, it turns out that Rohan already owned said beautiful hillside and gorgeous valley, and had clearly marked the are as a NO TOWER zone.

Volo 05-23-2007 10:51 PM

So, Aragorn was sentenced to death.

Well, Gimli invented an ingenious plan to save his friend.

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-24-2007 12:18 AM

So, Gimli found another person on whom to pass the guilt instead of Aragorn.

Well, it turned out he passed it on Arwen herself.

The Sixth Wizard 05-24-2007 12:42 AM

So, Arwen didn't appreciate having blame laid on her...

Well, she had to escape death so she disguised herself as Eowyn and Faramir started wooing her too!

Volo 05-24-2007 01:16 AM

So, Arwen became a copy of Eowyn.

Well, Aragorn was fooled too and he went into distant lands to search for Arwen.

So, Aragorn was wandering through the dessert of Harad, when he saw a Mumakil

Well, this Mumakil was very hungry and thought Aragorn was an oversized peanut

Eonwe 05-28-2007 08:04 AM

So there was this Aragorn guy, and he looked like a peanut, at least to the Mumakil, who lived in the desert.

Well, this the guy Aragorn had a large sword which he stabbed the Mumakil with!

:Merisu: [hmmm what's this one for? allots changed 'round these parts since I been gone these five moons!]

Morwen 05-28-2007 10:15 AM

So the Sword that was Broken and reforged, broke, again:(

Well, at least the beast was dead

Kuruharan 05-28-2007 10:26 AM

So, Aragorn invited the neighborhood to a huge barbeque.

Well, everybody got food poisoning.

Morwen 05-28-2007 10:37 AM

So Aragorn spent the next 12 months or so settling the claims of outraged guests

Well after that he decided to prohibit the eating of meat within the Reunited Kingdom

The Sixth Wizard 05-28-2007 03:34 PM

So, Aragorn's gone around losing wives, stabbing a Mumak and poisoning people...

Well, he's not having a good few days, is he?

Gil-Galad 05-28-2007 04:22 PM

thanks alot mapquest
 
So, Aragorn decides to try something different

Well, he ends up backpacking in Angmar for a bit with out realizing the wargs living there...

Kuruharan 05-29-2007 07:19 AM

So, he got sort of eaten.

Well, its going to be difficult for him to get out of this fix, isn't it?

Morwen 05-29-2007 09:01 AM

So it was that Aragorn, King of Gondor and Anor, departed Middle Earth.

Well, Arwen decided that the this would be a good time to stake her claim to the throne of the Reunited Kingdom on the basis that she was Elros' niece.

Finduilas 05-29-2007 10:03 AM

So, since she still looked like Eowyn she was sentenced for fraud.

Well, for the trial she needed an attorney, so she went to Gimli for advice on whom to hire.

Kuruharan 06-01-2007 12:21 PM

So, Gimli advised himself.

Well, he charged her $200,000 for a consultation fee.

Morwen 06-01-2007 03:03 PM

So Arwen didn't have that kind of cash.

Well, she offered Gimli 3 hairs from her head by way of payment.

Kuruharan 06-01-2007 03:43 PM

So, Gimli remained true to the hairs of Galadriel.

Well, he had Arwen thrown into debtors prison.

Gil-Galad 06-03-2007 07:28 PM

So, while in debtors prsion, Arwen discovered the 2 blue wizards who were forgotten in that very same prison

Well, they offered their support in exchange for food water and a hawaiian shirt

The Sixth Wizard 06-04-2007 02:02 AM

So, Arwen asked them what was with the Hawaiian shirt...

Well, it turns out they needed it for a strange ritual involving the hyper-real, darkness as an entity and women with grass skirts!

Morwen 06-04-2007 07:44 AM

So Arwen was a little freaked out by that explanation.

Well she decided to write to her brothers and see if they could help her instead.

yavanna II 06-11-2007 01:39 AM

So Elladan and Elrohir weren't at home at the moment

Well Arwen got desperate, she pretended to be Luthien and sang to Mandos

Kuruharan 06-12-2007 08:09 AM

So, Mandos fell asleep.

Well, now Arwen is a bit stuck, isn't she...

Morwen 06-12-2007 08:18 AM

So it would seem but justice in the end prevailed

Well, Middle Earth celebrity justice anyway, which meant that Grandpa Celeborn paid Gimli and then "persuaded" the powers that be that the whole fraud business was a misunderstanding and that Arwen should be released into his custody.

Gil-Galad 07-09-2007 05:06 PM

So, Gimli found a big bag of gold for his services

well, Gimli thought those services were tap-dancing in front of Celeborn...

The Sixth Wizard 07-10-2007 03:00 AM

So Gimli started work dancing for Celeborn and more importantly, Galadriel...

Well, he ended up in a dance-off with the other male dancers for Galadriel's adoration!

Narawen_Eluchil 07-12-2007 04:01 PM

So Galadriel decided to run off with Gimli.
Well, Celeborn wasn't very happy!

Volo 10-14-2007 07:11 AM

So, Celeborn's mental health started to crumble.

Well, he moved to Valinor.

Gil-Galad 10-14-2007 04:30 PM

So, Celeborn settled down close to Aule
Well, Aule decided then to put his smithies into full action that day

Annatar 10-23-2007 10:20 AM

So, the fumes made Celeborn throw himself from the top of Taniquetil.

Well, he fell to his death.

Meneltarmacil 12-16-2007 06:45 PM

So, Celeborn died.

Well, in the middle of this crisis, with Gondor's leadership uncertain, Faramir set himself up as Steward, which Arwen didn't like.

Gil-Galad 12-16-2007 08:53 PM

So, Arwen decided to overthrow Faramir

Well, out of the people Arwen invited, only Elrond came.

Meneltarmacil 12-18-2007 12:40 AM

So, Faramir's men catapulted rocks on Elrond from the walls.

Well, he got squished.
