I would like for Osric to engage Kransha. I was planning on having my character get an arrow in the leg anyway, and Kransha's an archer, right? Then there can be a long and drawn-out battle between the two! Just don't kill Osric. He's open for moderate wounding, though. Is that alright with you, Kransha? (The player, not the character)

Where is Bazzog going to be during this battle? Just curious

*Sniff* my first RPG ends in 5 days.

I JUST GET SO EMOTIONAL!

Alaksoron, the group left camp scarcely an hour after they got back with the horses. Would you modify the last part of your post, please?

Everyone, the skirmish is supposed to begin today. The skirmish will be over on Saturday regardless. Anyone - goodie or baddie - can bring us into it. Come on, we're so close to finishing up!

As a matter of fact, Alaksoron, it'd fit the flow of the game better if you started the battle in your post. At the end of mine they were on their way to the Last Bridge, so you can jump us appropriately ahead in time.

Esgallhugwen, are you still with us?

rutslegolas, I hope your exams have gone well. Can you rejoin us?

Envinyatar, have you thought any more about the end? (See my last PM.)

All of this is fine. I was hoping someone would "volunteer" *cough*.

He'll be back with the other orcs, watching and waiting. Bazzog does love fighting, but he's stickin' to the sidelines. He'll be in the last battle, though.

Can't bring us in to the battle, unfortunately. I have skidaddle for a bit.

Primrose Bolger · 10-29-2004, 02:41 PM

The Trolls are in place about the clearing where the Stone Trolls are.

Envinyatar · 10-29-2004, 03:02 PM

I'll go ahead and post the start to the battle.

We'll cross the bridge, the Orcs will begin firing at us, driving us further east down the path. From Kransha's previous post here, the main part of the battle will not begin until we get to the clearing where the Stone Trolls are.

Nuranar

See my PM (coming soon) for a resolve of the game.

Envinyatar · 10-29-2004, 04:05 PM

The battle is engaged Orcs have begun firing on the companions.

At the moment, we have just crossed the bridge and entered into the forested area. Some Orcs were positioned to fire arrows at us.

We are heading down the path that will take us by where the Stone Trolls lived in their cave - we should pass that and then come to the clearing just a little way beyond where the 3 Stone Trolls actually are - that is where the main part of the battle is.

You can read Primrose's post just previous to mine to see a description of the Stone Trolls and the area about the clearing.

--------------------------------

Primrose/Fordim

Can we do in any of your Trolls?

---------------------------------

Everyone of the good guys

Please note - there are ONLY 23 Orcs that can be done in. (Kransha and Bubkur are also at the battle, if you wish to kill/injure/engage one of them - please make that decision with Kransha, the writer for the characters.)

And please take time to read other battle posts to see what has gone on before you.

Primrose Bolger · 10-29-2004, 04:25 PM

Harry can be done in at some point - but let him get a few good sized boulders thrown down on the group first.

His aim is not all that great - so a few Orcs may get squashed as well.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Oh, and by the way - much appreciation to Professor Tolkien, from whom I 'stole' a great deal of descriptive prose concerning the Troll cave and the little clearing where they met their end.
