Anyhow, at this moment it looks like from the 10 original attackers (those who trailed Athwen):
1 killed by Joshwan in to the tunnel by spear
1 killed by Beloan as he tried to rise up from the ground
1 killed by the bearded one and Fewerth
1 killed by Dorran
X killed by those helping Carl?

Actually, make that six (at least) killed around the tunnel...Khamir and Adnan each took out one.

Make that seven. Don't forget Shae took out slaver one near the tunnel.

If it's going to be about ten then I think I'll have Nasim and co. (and maybe Khamir) make it in time to help.

Unless Aiwendil is going to pull another trick from his sleeve. Rôg will certainly have plenty, but I don't think they'll be quite enough...

Or unless others simply get there first.

Shae will be able to get there in time to do some damage, but she could definitely use the help of Nasim and Co.

Okay. I will be posting soon to make the "final battle" in front of the tunnels...

There will be five escapees against three slavers. All the slavers will die, two of the escapees (Joshwan and Erlech) will die too and one (Fewerth) will be badly wounded.

Tevildo: Should Dorran pick Fewerth up as he seems to be the only wounded alive after this "tunnel-battle"? I'll end the post in such a way that you can bring Dorran in. Beloan and Qat ("the bearded one" as Hadith referred him to) are both NPC's so use them as you wish...

I must be dotty this morning. I just posted this on the game thread.... Try again!

************
A final showdown at the grove sounds great! We haven't had a concentrated battle scene where we're all together.

I am also going to pull in Lindir and the men he's stalking in the south. The elf will get a message from Aiwendil to hurry back towards the grove because of the dire situaton. He will be part of the final battle there. The slavers he's following will likewise hear Imak's horn and go tearing off towards the northwest. These slavers will get pulled into the subplot that Azhar, Aiwendil, and Rôg that is taking part on the outskirts of the grove....

Nogrod · 12-03-2006, 12:22 PM

There is a quite bloody battle there now and the action around the tunnel has been put to an end. At least this far.

Just a small request to you fellow writers.

I have never tried a post like that before and I'm not sure how well it managed to convey the situation and what happened in it. In Finnish I believe I would have been able to make it intelligible with all the changing perspectives and so on, but in English I'm not so sure about it. I have myself quite a clear vision of what happened there, but I would be very happy to have some feedback from that. So did you understand what happened, was it clear or baffling? What was badly / wrongly expressed, which parts were more like messing things up rather than making sense? I would appreciate any feedback from this as it was quite a complex task to me.

Tevildo: Dorran might take it up from there now, I think.

You said it! I'm looking forwards to it. We'll just see who of our characters / NPC's make it there and what can they do!

And that idea still kind of talks on behalf of there being as many slavers as possible in that last fight (so at least the ten).

Hilde Bracegirdle · 12-04-2006, 11:42 AM

Sorry, that I couldn't respond earlier to the vague number of slavers killed by Carl's archers. (I was near a computer very, very little over the weekend.) And I will be reading your post shortly Nogrod, so I don't know if what I'm saying now is at all relavant. But the archers might have killed as many or as few of the slavers as my fellow writers find convenient. But if they didn't kill many, they certainly wounded several of them.

The one confirmed dead slaver Carl was personally struggling with, would be Hamin, despatched courtesy of Kwell (with great thanks, I'm sure). And he was not from the grouping that charged the tunnel to my mind, but was with with one of the other two groupings.

I read some of the latest posts that I hadn't had but a cursory look before and I'm afraid we would have to make that count at least to eight or nine as Khamir and Adnan killed one together and we are led to understand that Adnan killed one himself (the one who cut his fingers).

So as it stands now, there were at least 11-12 riders following Athwen and they're all dead. This all has been written.

We seem to be pretty efficient bunch of escapees!

But I see that as no problem anyway. Maybe there were like 27 slavers to begin with?

Sounds good to me. There's no way the group would've known the exact amount of slavers in the first place. I think they estimated 25, but they could've always been a few off.

I was in class when I started to think about what I was going to write next. I really want to bring back some characters that were included earlier in RPG, but haven't been mentioned in awhile, Reagonn in particular. Orofaniel dropped from the game some time ago, so would anyone object to me killing him off? It would add emotion particularly for Shae and Khamir, who have both known him for sometime, and it would prove that "the fifteen" aren't complete invulnerable. I have an idea involving him as part of the cavalry and joining up with Shae to where the women and children are. Of course, I wouldn't have him die until we reach the slavers in the final showdown.

Tevildo · 12-04-2006, 10:22 PM

Pio,
Sorry my post isn't done yet. I had planned to fill in Azhar's save today, but I've come down with a stomach bug. I'm going to call it quits for now and try again in the morning.

Hey Kitty-kat! Long, long shift at work. Take your time with your post - I'll be sleeping in tomorrow and then doing some holiday shopping....

That sounds great to me. At least one needs to die out of "the fifteen," I agree. Yay, more angst!

Tevildo · 12-05-2006, 03:15 PM

Save filled.
