The Fall of the North Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

NOTE TO ALL

No need to apologise - the scenario did get rather murky. Saurreg has kindly agreed to do and Alexander vs. the Gordian knot and get the players out of the situation. There will be oportunity once he does this for all players to possibly take a last whack at the trolls with the aid of the Dwarves and then regroup.

From there, it is up to you players left in the game to decide where to go from there. It is your game now.

Please check with Saurreg and coordinate with him if you want to be in on the structuring of that particular wrap up/getting the game over the hump post.

No that is find -I'll leave him to it!!!

Dear all,

I will try my best to extract all players from the tunnels and have them gather at the surface of Middle-Earth again. Unfortunately, I am no Kransha and my ability to post great writings is absolutely no existent. I am but a sunspot in his brillance. Which is one reason why I'm extremely thankful for Osse's assistance in this.

Just a show of hands; anyone still interested in fighting a troll or two? If not I'll just bulldoze my way.

Please bear with yours truly for the next few days while i try to sort things out and post to the best of my ability. Please please give suggestions and comments if deemed appropriate.

Thanks.

Erenor would like a troll to fight

.. I thought maybe exploit the explosion to go for general cofuion and therefor vagueness about location

Garen LiLorian · 06-05-2005, 04:39 PM

I think Angore probably wants to kill something. A troll would be good.

Saurreg · 06-06-2005, 01:12 AM

Just a query - how large are OUR trolls anyway?

The troll from the Moria literature was larger than your average man but not as colossal as THAT brute from the movies. The Olog-Hai from RoTK text dispatched its opponents by knocking them flat before going for the throat; that did imply that they weren't giants.

I'm thinking around seven to nine feet tall, powerfully built and scale clad.

Osse · 06-06-2005, 02:36 AM

9 feet tall and well built sound good to me... not 20 foot like in the films... though they did look awesome.

It would still be quite an achievement for one man/elf/dwarf to take down such a beast.
