The Hills of Evendim Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

End of May is an arbitray end we had agreed on.

Do you have an idea of what sections of the story still need to be covered? Can you outline them here and then decide what it really would take to get through each of them in an adequate manner?

That would give me an idea of exactly when I can expect the game to come to an end.

Thanks!

The story outline consists of these points:

1. Battle with Mouth of Sauron - and his defeat or the party's escape.

2. Reunions at the Lake Evendim stockade.

3. Return to Bree with report.

That's it. We really ought to be able to get that much done by the end of the month, if we all post once every 1, 2, or 3 days. Right?

Corn! *gasp* I completely totally forgot about Lira's Corn...oh dear.

EDIT: LMP I did a bit of something with Lira and Corn...I decided to leave off Corn's attack of the MS to you, since I'm not sure how te MS will react. *evil Calvin grin*

I cannot believe I forgot about Corn.

Cheers,
Imladris

Thanks, Lira. I was casting about for how to deal with the Master. Now we have a way. I'll post up tomorrow. I'm way past my bedtime already. Cheers!

I managed to post about Thoronmir's role in the battle, and I will bring his story to a close after the group reaches the settlement. At the beginning of the RPG, I said that he had given up being a Ranger, but since the events in this story, he's had a change of heart. With the remaining Rangers at the settlement being somewhat in need of a strong leader at the moment, I believe Thoronmir could stay with them as their new leader while the rest of the party returns to Bree.

Friends, I have a feeling that I wrapped things up too quickly and nicely. All I needed was Corn to distract Herugor, and bingo. So there you have it.

From here on out, it seems to me that the story is going to revolve around mourning for Lira, reunions at the settlement, and report back to that 1st cousin Hobbit of Merioadoc, whose name I can't even remember off hand.....

Lira, your latest post was a thing of beauty. Truly Tolkienian in spirit. I'm a happy game owner.

Eswen, that was a beautiful post! I'm hoping to hear from Lumiel and Gorby yet, and maybe something from Anson too, for that matter. And my dreams would come true if Elora would post for Uien, but I'm not going to hold out for that one. I'll give it two more days and then move us to the reunion at the settlement.
