This is the continuation of the tale of the Entish Bow that was begun in The Revenge of the Entish Bow.

What happened so far:

Merisuwyniel, a lovely Elven maiden on the brink of adulthood, carries a bow made of the wood of an Ent that was once hewn by orcs. It requests her to help revenge itself upon its foes and to find the other pieces of the Ent that were separated from it. Together with a group of companions known (politically correctly, of course!) as the Fellow/Galship, she begins the quest. They experience many adventures on their travels through Muddled-Berth.

Unexpectedly, the orc captain who was responsible for this and other heinous deeds falls in love with her; she returns his affection, yet his past must be avenged. He dies, as do his superiors, Lord Sourone and a mysterious female known as She (who turns out to be Merisuwyniel’s lost mother and the twin sister of… but I digress!). One of the companions, a Half-Elven hero, The Elven maiden’s first love, also dies.

Merisuwyniel is devastated in the face of so many deaths and resolves never again to shoot the Bow, but rather to learn the art of healing in Minus Teeth, the Wight City. Some of the companions accompany her; others go their separate ways. Yet, though the Entish Bow has had its revenge, it is still not complete; in the second part of the story, the remainder of the Fellow/Galship sets out to find and recover the missing parts, that they might be reunified.

This RPG is invitational only; forum members who feel that they can write in this style may audition by contacting me via e-mail: Estelyn@barrowdowns.com, preferably with a sample of their writing or a link to posts that demonstrate their ability to write good quality subtle humour. Please do not post here unless I have accepted your character suggestion!

Time requirement for regular players is at least one post every two weeks; the pace will be a bit more leisurely than it was in Part One. For this reason, the telling of the story will take several months. For guidelines, please see the discussion thread for The Revenge of the Entish Bow (now located at Elvenhome). General rules for posting on the Gondor forum may be read at Ecthelion’s Tower.

Players who are recapping their roles from the first part are asked to post a brief character bio, including the current status concerning weapons, equine companions etc. Players with new characters, please check them with me before posting. The RPG will begin within the next week or two.
