Kransha, Perky Ent:

Lurg, our new orc nemisis, recovered from Dwali's unexpected attack and left my character unconcious. Now its your turn - sadly, Fordim won't let us kill him.... yet.

Himaran

Kransha · 07-01-2004, 02:25 PM

Alrighty then, Himaran and Perky. I will soon have a post up. If Perky Ent doesn't mind, I will have Bror, with much assistance from Dorim, of course, drive off Lurg, and then encourage Dorim to follow as he takes unconscious Dwali. Then, if you want some action, Perky, you may have it, or the orc may simply run out into the courtyard, with us dwarves on his odiferous tail.

Kransha and Perky Ent:

Dwali recovered, and although slightly embarassed, is fine. It is up to you, Kransha, if we go after Dorim and Lurg. Perhaps Dorim will return before it is necessary, with information that Lurg escaped.

Kransha · 07-01-2004, 04:44 PM

Himaran, just one minor proposal. Bror was, with Dwali, pursuing Dorim and Lurg. So, I assume he was stopped in your post. Feel free to include Bror proposing that the two follow, since they were already following Dorim. I really cannot think of much of a context for some post besides having Bror state that, so perhaps you could just make the tiny addition to your own post, including Bror and Dwali resuming the pursuit of Dorim and Lurg (pardon if that's a bit confusing).

BTW, this game seems to be going well, and I know find myself hoping that, now that the dwarves are in cahoots, relations (hostile relations, that is), might begin with the elves and men, who, 'unfortunately', must be associated with.

All right, Lurg is making his break for it, and is fair game for any and all who wish to take a crack at him. Contrary to what Grash is saying, however, please make sure that Lurg survives and flees out through the front gate (which is, remember, barred to us by the Will of the Silent Watchers).

Hmm. This game moves at great speed! Nova and I were cross posting, but I think there is enough coherency between the posts and little contradiction. Still, if anything needs to be changed, let me know, Nova or Fordim, and will make the changes. I have left room for others to have a shot at the orc.

Am I correct in assuming the Gate is there in the courtyard? or is it just another door?

Alak, do you want to do some planning for our characters via PM? I was not sure how much to attribute to your character in my previous post; I will add or remove details if you have any suggestions. Aylwen, Darash will take some time to accept any Haradrim, and, Nova, I suspect that at some point Darash will find Rhand's other side. I have some ideas how this will happen, but I don't want to share them with you right now, for fear of ruining the fun.

I tried for a post with brevity to imply speed and that meant I did not refer to many other characters. Fellow gamers, if you want me to add a mention of your characters, in order to set them up for your post, let me know and I will add what details you wish. Fordim, I hope a belly wound is not serious enough to do in Lurg. And I hope Darash's actions have been sufficient to suggest to Grash that she knows a few tricks out of the kitchen. heh heh

o.0 Then, Rhând/Aldor will have to watch himself. You know, Bêthberry, you have just made me very curious about what you have in mind. But yes, it would certainly ruin the fun if I and Rhând/Aldor knew what you were up to.

(PS! It shouldn't happen too soon, as Rhând might want to try something himself..)

Anyway, I am not sure I'll be able to post the following days. I might be able to pop in now and then and check the thread/PMs, but I think posting can be difficult. I will however try to post, but I don't know whether it will be possible. In that case, I would like for you to bring Rhând/Aldor along and set up saves for me if needed.

Cheers,
Nova

Note: If there is anything in my post which needs editings, just tell me and I'll do it!
