Kransha presumably is free to latch onto such comments or go and cause other trouble on his own. I am also assuming that we can't describe the Dragon actually attacking us. This is something that our beloved Smaug would have to do on his own under Kransha's bold pen. (Kransha please have mercy! )

Yes, Smaug can be used as a 'device' to move things. Keep in mind that, for the first 7 or 8 days of this game, he'll be heading towards Erebor, the mountain looming mostly over Dale, and will be flying, for the most part, over Dale (and under hill...not). Thus, he'll be spouting a few flames onto Dale, but not outright attacking it. In a weeks time, Smaug will attack Erebor for a bit, all in one post, or a small series of posts, then turn around and attack Dale in earnest, which is when things get really tough.

Feel free to PM me about possible obstacles that Smaug might inadvertantly create. He will make a few individual attacks, like dipping down to grab some tastey morsel (I reckon all this havoc causing makes him hungry). At the finale of all this destruction, he'll pe picking on people just because he's mean sometimes, and in a bad mood after random watchmen have been shooting mislead arrows at him for hours. I will have a post up within the next few days just establishing where Smaug is on his flight around the mountain, and having him engage in some sporting activities with hapless Dale-folk.

BTW, Welcome to the Shire, Pippin Pondilly, Araréiel, and Falliniel. Hope you enjoy this game. And, of course, a hearty greetings to old friends, Nuru, Child, and Regin. Good luck to all of you.

P.S. Child, you usual aptness is further proved by the correctness of that last comment. Touchy indeed, and then some.

Eep! It seems that my computer (or the 'Downs itself *gasp*) was having problems last night. My SAVE slot didn't go in.

Alas, I am almost finished with my post, so I'll put the save up now and TRY to fill it in in an hour or so, but if not then by tomorrow morning.

Thanks,
Your friendly neighborhood Fëa

Alright I posted on the game thread I hope it's alright I kinda rushed through it just now ... Just tell me if I should change or add anything. I may add more after ArwenB fills in her post.

Thanks Kransha for those helpful comments. I am assuming that Smaug touched down to get a tasty beef snack in my post! The woman at the farm may have shrieked out of fright, but Elanor was imagining something worse....

I will be out of touch 1-2 days only, travelling from one region to another. Will post when I hit ground.

Filled in my save. Eric is now unquestionably lost in the forest (and very hungry). How dangerous with a dragon on the loose.

Hello all-

I didn't disappear-just got busy while waiting for the game to start. I'm looking forward to participating in this RPG with everyone, and I'll add a post later today. I want to make sure I have a chance to read all the posts and storylines carefully.

Everyone:

My post is now up. Arinn and Eli are home to find a cowering Willow. If only Arinn could join her! Now, Arinn has stumbled upon the fact that his other two children are gone...

Fallinel-

This is where your post should come in, the reaction to mine.
