Fordim Hedgethistle has been trapped in the Barrow!
Almost there

Thank you all for getting the game off to such a good start with those wonderful posts. I was hoping that this would be a character-driven story and it looks like it will be. There are some very interesting dynamics at play here already.

Oh, I should say formally, I suppose, that CaptainofDespair's bio and post is accepted for play. Also, welcome to the Downs CoD.

I will get right on the ordering of posts and the first-post-after-everyone's-been-freed and have that by early tomorrow morning (EDT), so we can look forward to starting the game within 24 hours (if I understand from Pio how this works). Just so you all know how it will begin:

Grash will explain to everyone that the orcs have killed each other, but that the front gate is barred by the Silent Watchers, so they're going to have to risk the Tunnel. . . (insert foreboding music here). But before we plunge into that, our characters will poke about the Tower a bit and gather what weapons, armour and provisions they can. Grash will suggest that the group break up into smaller parties to speed along the search, so start thinking now about who your character would want to band/bond with from the outset. (I would suggest that it would make psychological sense for the races to band together at this point: Elves, Dwarves and Men; although, perhaps gender would be a bigger factor? However you want to work it all is fine with me.)

Once more, thank you all for your interest in playing this game, and for the great posts. I'm really looking forward to this (just in case you can't tell). There are a couple of treats in store for us that will, I hope, make it an enjoyable experience.
