That was fast work, Meneltarmacil! Good job!

Envinyatar, the trend in the latest posts seems to be that a lot of people are suspicious of Fen. Is that how you'd like it? Or should we be a wee bit more trusting, to make his betrayal more unexpected?

I've been speaking with Dragon Elf some more, and we came up with a good plan for my injury at the Stone Trolls. I'd just need the approval of a couple other characters (notably Kransha) before it would be official.

Saurreg PMed me earlier about if I could get injured while saving Andas Loudewater, so I decided to work around that. When we've reached the Stone Trolls, we'll get attacked by orcs, and Kransha (the orc Kransha named after himself) will be among them. We'll be fighting as usual, and I'll see him aim an arrow at Loudewater. I'll run up, push him aside, and take the blow myself, leaving only Menecar standing between Kransha and Loudewater. (Dragon Elf said he wanted to take on Kransha, so that's why this situation would develop.) My right arm would be crippled, and the arrow will most likely be poisoned.

Only a suggestion at this point, though.

Meneltarmacil and Saurreg:

The Stone Trolls (the three trolls turned to stone in The Hobbit) are on the far side of the Hoarwell and the Last Bridge. That is, according to The Fellowship, a good 6-7 days' journey on foot from Weathertop.

So this fight and injury is to take place after we are ambushed on Weathertop, correct?

If so, I don't have a problem with it. Just keep in mind that events and circumstances might change considerably before we get to that point in the story.

Saurreg, I would like to know your plans for meeting up with us. That is the critical point right now.

Alaksoron, please see your PM's.

I will post tomorrow afternoon, bringing an end to our inquiries in Bree.

According to the outline I posted above (09-13-2004), 2 or 3 of King Elessar's Messengers (KEM) will be led by Fen to the Whittleworth farm, and then ambushed when they reach Weathertop. They will be rescued by the other two groups. In the battle, 3 KEM will be wounded: 2 moderately, 1 severely.

EVERYONE: I need to know if anyone is wanting to or does not want to be injured. So far,

Andas Loudewater will be joining the KEM somewhere around this battle.
Thoronmir will be wounded later along the journey.
Tarondo will not be wounded. (Because he's the leader and I say so.

)

That leaves Aidwain, Silrûth, Luinien, Osric, and Veryadan. Menecar cannot be severely wounded, although he just might be one of the moderately wounded. Envinyatar has already said that Veryadan may be among the wounded.

So: Dragon Elf, Esgallhugwen, Alaksoron, and rutslegolas: Please post ASAP your preference. If you do not post, I will assume your character can be wounded.

Any questions, comments, or complaints are welcome, as always.

Carry on!

This is all fine, just so everyone knows, as long as I get to have a say in it. If you need any information regarding Kransha, just PM, or what have you.

Meneltarmacil · 09-29-2004, 08:23 PM

Thanks, Kransha!

I already know that Dragon Elf does NOT want Menecar to be wounded, so please don't try anything bad there. And I'm sorry he didn't post this himself, but his schedule is rather busy and he doesn't have a lot of time to make posts except on weekends.

rutslegolas · 09-30-2004, 02:32 AM

Well really i do not want to be injured,but if no one else wants to be ,I will be ready.

Envinyatar · 10-02-2004, 12:32 AM

Alaksoron

I'm a little unclear about what your character, Osric, is doing. Do you plan at some time to interview one of the Breelanders who has a story to relate about the attacks? Get some sort of fix on where one of our search groups should be going?

It will be fine with me if you write about the 'incident' your group will be going to investigate.

Envinyatar · 10-02-2004, 02:14 PM

Alright - Fen has agreed to go and show the massacre at the Whittleworth farm to the companions.

What we need now is this:

Thoronmir and/or Menecar - can you please do a scene where you either interview or talk about someone you've interviewed about an incident (make up the details any way you wish). It should happen somewhere not too far from Weather top and how you think that this incident could provide some clues.

Then we need one more incident for the third group to investigate - so Osric and/or Aidwain can you do something similar.

I'd like us to have these in place by the middle of next week, so that we can inspect the 3 places we've been referred to, then move on to the meeting at Weathertop.
