I understand you're busy, Pio, but could you please answer these questions:

1) approx. how many orcs are there and 2) what is a tark?

Thanks!

Psst, Saurreg - farmer saved, farmer saved

rutslegolas: if you do regather your arrows, I would advise you to do so quickly (orc blood is like acid and will corrode metal if given enough time) Just a thought.

I'll feel those. 8 orcs in all: Kransha, Bubkur, and 6 nameless ones. Tark is the Black Speech (orcish) word for "man on Numenorean descent." In other words: tark most likely means 'Dunadan,' the plural being 'Dunedain.'

Save to be filled shortly.

Yikes! Methinks my poor little she-Elf needs some rescuing. Hmm...

Meneltarmacil, if you want to put up a battle post of your own, I recommend you do it now. The Trolls you have been harrying are already in retreat, according to Primrose's save.

I'll be posting shortly. Kransha, are you going to want to get in a final post when the Orcs retreat? We won't be able to flee the field immediately because of Veryadan, so your people are going to have to leave us in command of the field

I will extricate Luinien from her Fordim-induced pickle before I leave for a meeting tonight. Does anyone else want to get in anything before Tarondo and Silrûth show up? State your preference or put up a save, because after I get back the cavalry will arrive. Unless Esgallhugwen posts first or puts up her own save. Your choice, m'dear.

Yours truly,

Blood 'n' thunder Nuranar

Ok, Luinien's left arm is out of action but she's not. Yet. (Gee, Fordim, what was I supposed to do? I didn't want her smashed up - that's Veryadan right now!

)

IF YOU WANT TO GET SOMETHING IN BEFORE TARONDO AND SILRûTH ARRIVE, PUT UP A SAVE NOW. I hope to put that post up by midnight, Central Daylight Time.

Meneltarmacil · 10-21-2004, 09:24 PM

I won't be able to post here from Friday to late on Sunday, just to let you know.

I'm also wondering if I can fight Bubkur several more times until I finally kill him (before Kransha injures me though). Just thought a little enmity between the two of us wouldn't hurt.

Pio

My quiver holds around 15 arrows and I have only 1-2 arrows left now.

Nuranar

My character now has a broken ankle and I have left an opening for Tarondo and Silruth to arrive .

Nuranar · 10-22-2004, 12:16 AM

No one kill any more orcs. Please let Kransha finish the battle.

Fordim, Arrald and Dim are retreating. Arrald has a damaged Achilles tendon, a stab wound in the knee, and an arrow through the flesh of his forearm. Both he and Dim have other miscellaneous cuts and shallow wounds.

Kransha, if I'm counting correctly 5 out of your 8 are dead. Osric's taken care of 3, while Thoronmir's killed 2 (maybe 1?) and is battling Bubkur. That leaves Menecar with Kransha and The Last of the Unnamed. Tarondo is coming to the Rangers' assistance.

Esgallhugwen, if you want to get some action in, keep chasing Arrald and Dim off the hilltop in a vaguely northern direction. And maybe come back and look after Veryadan? Poor guy's bleeding with no one to care for him.

rutslegolas, Andas Loudewater is a man of Bree, not a hobbit. Can you fix that in your latest post, please?

Alaksoron, please respond to your PMs.

Isn't fighting fun?!
