Hoi, Perky! Firefoot made out your character to claustraphobic. . .if that's the case, is the King going to have problems with his lodging?

Well, I'm planning for us to spend the first day on the river (we're currently on our first day), then our first night, then our second day, and we arrive at the city at night. As for the Umbarian forces, you will reach the city at day to start your attack. The time from Umbar's arrival and Gondor's arrival will be fairly short, but there will be a period when Umbar is fighting and Gondor doesn't know. Might get a little confusing, but it's only for a couple of days

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Okay, Menelcar has proposed a plan for an attack. While he may be an experienced tactician, I certainly am not, and if you all don't think this would work, I can take it out/change it. Let me know.

*cough* Spawn, I'm sorry to point out but I don't think that's very middle-earthian language... What about "What the Morgoth are you doing around here?" ?

Please Note:

It is the Barrow Wight's request that there be no swearing in posts on the Barrow Downs. This is a family-friendly site.

No more "damn"s or "hell"s on either the Discussion Thread or in the RPG itself.

Please go back and edit your posts as necessary to remove the swear words.

Thanks!

Er, that was MY sentence in MY paragraph, not Esau's, so don't go blaming her.

Pio, I apologize. I thought those two were too mild to be restricted, that I didn't think of forbearing from using them. So, instead of damn, darn is okay, right? And I will look over my posts and rectify the use of these two words. If I missed something, please tell me through PM or discussion thread.

Aman: Please tell me if I've carried the events on Fame and Fortune too far without you joining in, and I'll delete the latest posts. Was it all right to make Ferethor's escape the cause of a ship-wide alarm?

I'm hesitant to even put my opinion in since my character is in no way involved in all this, but in reality, I don't see why Rakin would even care if Ferethor comes back aboard ship or not. In his mind, it may be just as wel for the rebelious slave to drown as not, considering the trouble he would cause if he were kept alive on board. What's more, the ship under full sail could be going at a rather swift clip of at least eight miles per hour, and anybody who drops off it is soon left behind, and unless they tack the sheets and pull sharp about, he stays behind. And even if they do that, he's going to be in the water for several minutes. That being the case, Chaka wouldn't have much time to ask Rakin if he could save him because by the time he got to Ferethor, the poor chap would be drowned. On the other hand, if Rakin wants to keep Chaka alive, he might forgive him if he jumps over board without permission.

It would definitely be exciting if you did that. And you don't have to pay any attention to anything that I just said, seeing as, after all, they aren't my characters.
