Done... and answered. Let's go on with your plan.

Post up. It still needs cleaning up but I will do that later since I am going to the dentist.

Gwerr, Ishkur -- I spoke for you. If anything needs to change, tell me and I will edit.

We should be able to go straight into the action with the orcs approaching the camp and the attacker lying in wait.

Tevildo - you can do the "sister" post with night coming to the main camp.

Great solution Child! Kudos for the "rain coming after the windstorm" -idea!
(Although this "let's help the nature" -thing might be overdoing it? Wouldn't the rain be enough?)

I'm not going to put up a save for the orcs if someone wishes to post an "in preparation" -post soon. But I would like to bring the orcs to the trouble tomorrow (RL). That is, if no one else has a good idea s/he would wish to execute here.

After Child's PM to everyone I would also encourage all to post now. I will be more than happy to write the orcs into the trouble but will not do it right now as to give the other characters time to settle with this ambush-stuff first.

But I'm going to Turkey for a week on Wednesday and I will post for the orcs before that as I have no idea how much spare time I will have there or are there any decent internet connections in the place we're going.

Please remember the coming rain as that is essential for our plan to get the orcs slipping...

PS. And anyhow, Child can move my post further away if it comes too soon...

Brinniel · 05-13-2007, 07:06 PM

Sorry guys...I'm trying to keep up, but I seem to be falling more and more behind...

Did you still want me to post Shae's interaction with a sleeping orc, or are we beyond that?

Sorry again...I'm just feeling slightly confused. I promise I'll try to keep up better than I have lately...

Nogrod · 05-14-2007, 04:06 PM

Okay.

The orcs are in the middle of trouble now. If either of you Child or Regin feel that I have used your characters badly please inform me. I had to use your characters somewhat to get a lot of things happen in a single post but I tried to handle them in the way I feel you would have used them. Correct me if I have been wrong.

A few points in principle.

I had to make this post now as I'm going to be away for a week from Wednesday on. If it feels that my post is there "too early" please move it farther away or let me move it as I come back. So do not let it tie your hands if you wish to post for things before the attack begins.

I have laid a situation for someone to write hiding in the bush which Gwerr is about to inspect and turns around at the last moment. Maybe it was a stone in there in the end... but if someone wishes to use the chance feel free to do it.

I made Gwerr to have the good instincts in my post but that was quite the only possibility as both Ishkur and Makdush have been loud on rescuing their mates and I didn't dare to use your characters to making different opinions as you have voiced this far. But to compensate I have made Gwerr drop already...

I wrote the ending quite vaguely in purpose to allow different interpretations. So either Gwerr just tumbles on Ishkur and falls to the pit or then Ishkur falls down with him. It's up to Regin to decide which way it goes. If you need a quick resolution to this Ishkur should fall with Gwerr and the fight is over after you figure out how Makdush will be beaten but if Regin wishes to post Ishkur's defence it's open for him to do it.

I have only mantioned rocks being thrown as I think arrows might be too heavy weapons if we think that these three would have to be in shape to fight alongside the humans against the Olog-Hai later...

The overall design of this pit was pretty unclear to me so I tried to refer to it as little as was possible. If there are discrepancies with the way you have figured the pit to be like please let me know.

So. Forwärts!

Carl's save is filled in. I left it with him wondering around, so if no one else takes Nogrod up on the "whose in the brush" offer, feel free to have it be the hobbit.
