Last Hope for Moria Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Imladris · 03-29-2004, 06:10 PM

I fired off a PM to Aman earlier today, but she wasn't on at her normal time. I know she has been extremely busy lately so I'm not sure when she will next be on, which is why I'm making a call.

As Pio has so kindly told us, we passed our half way point a long time ago, and, going the way we're going, I don't think that we'll be able to finish on time. So, I have come up with a plan. Tonight, I will do a forwarding post that will bring us to the gates of Moria in diary form . This diary will tell how we got lost, how Thorgorleb and Linsie rescued some dwarves from the spider, and how Thorgorleb led them out. In FotR, Tolkien tells us that the journal they found had been written in many different hands, so if you would like to contribute a journal entry, please post it on the Discussion Thread and I will paste it before Ori's entry. I will not be waiting for all the entries to come in as we don't have time for that.

I will make the forwarding post tonight.

I know this is extremely hasty, but we only have about four weeks to complete this game.

Cheers,
Imladris

Imladris, as you might know, Nali is keeping a journal of prose and poetry and will add to the forwarding post! Sounds like a good idea to forward the game. I'll put a post on the thread in a couple of days and u can paste it in!

Ps. Imladris, 666 posts? BUm BUm bUm!

*eery music*

I have done the forwarding post but I would like to comment on a few things first.

1. If you want to know why Ori used the Sindarin days of the week, it's because he wrote in an elvish script. If that's a problem to anyone I'll change it.

2. Let me know if I used anyone's characters ill.

3. I just said that three dwarves were captured by the spiders. Please tell me if you would like your character to be captured.

4. Please, please, please, everybody continue posting. You're all doing a splendid job, but I would like to keep the game rolling!

Cheers!

Thank you Pio!

How will this 'bump' forward effect the orcs? Should we continue on with the meeting but maybe speed it up a bit?

Imladris · 03-30-2004, 03:56 PM

Yes...I think the meeting could be wrapped up in one post or so. After that maybe an orc could spy the camping dwarves or something like that...

Or, you could do what I did and just have one of the orcs remember it, grumble about it, whatever sounds good to you.

Cheers,
Imladris

PS. I'm really really really sorry about this....
