Siege of Gundabad Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boromir88 · 10-26-2004, 03:44 PM

Captain, I don't know how you plan on setting this up, so I'm just going to ask you, that way I can get some ideas on what to post about. Were you planning on having the Men of Dale join Gondor Soldiers for the siege/fight part?

CaptainofDespair · 10-26-2004, 05:31 PM

Aye, I was going to have the Men of Dale, who are fleeing their villages, meet up with the Army of Gondor. Until then, the Men of Dale can focus on their plight, without supplies, lost in the cold, being hunted by the Orcs raiding the area, or any number of similar ideas. Also, the Men of Dale should try to meet up with each other somehow.

Firefoot · 10-26-2004, 07:01 PM

I put up a post for Adranel - it's night where she is. If there is a problem with that I can edit the time of day.

Umwë · 10-26-2004, 11:25 PM

Captain, so I will just continue hunting the Men of Dale as they join the army of Gondor?
This will be fun,
Good luck everyone!

Regards,

Novnarwen · 10-27-2004, 10:35 AM

Short question CoD:

Based on my character description, my character won't know anyone from Dale. So, what would he do? Is it okay, that he is found by the Gondorian Army? After all, Ingemar's cottage was situated at the outskirts of Dale, so maybe the Army would run into him sooner than others?

Nova

PS! I'll try to have a post up as soon as possible!

CaptainofDespair · 10-27-2004, 11:34 AM

Firefoot: There is no problem with the time of day.

Umwe: Aye, you may continue tracking/hunting the Men of Dale. So for a few days you have exclusive hunting rights, until they come across the Gondorian host.

Nova: Yes, you are in a slightly different situation. Since your character is a bit of a loner, I suppose you can have the Gondorians come across him sometime before, or even just after the others.

I will put up my own post shortly.

Soredamor · 10-27-2004, 06:55 PM

I've posted. I hope it's alright that I'm about to get the goblins moving. It should take them a while to really get moving, if need be.

And I wanted to say thanks for letting me be a part of this game.

Boromir88 · 11-08-2004, 08:35 PM

Looks good to me Firefoot, your character may still come if she desired. But make sure you're ready by morning, because knowing Sjorging he isn't going to want to wait for long

A general request

Just putting this on all the RPG discussion threads. This hasn't been a problem on this game, by the way.

Please don't put comments in the 'Reason for Edit' box when you are editing on the RPG thread.

Signatures removed and filled in 'SAVES' don't need to be addressed there.

Edits that you want to draw attention to should be commented on in the Game's discussion thread.

Thanks!

Firefoot · 11-13-2004, 04:26 PM

Boromir88 - I'm a little confused when you say 'by morning.' I had thought that it was already morning (and in my previous posts it was). I wouldn't mind making some adjustments, but how are the timeframes working out?

Boromir88 · 11-13-2004, 08:57 PM

Firefoot-I went ahead and changed it to "tomorrow morning," since, yes our last posts were both timed in the morning. Thanks for picking up on that

.

CaptainofDespair · 11-14-2004, 10:39 AM

Alrighty, We are now reaching the end of the first day. I had hoped to get a little more Gondorian involvement, but I will deal with that in my end of the second day/finding Ingemar post. For aany of those who have yet to post, you have until Monday before I put up my post.

Boromir88 · 11-14-2004, 07:57 PM

I liked your post Firefoot, you got Sjorging and Beluf exactly right, one is skeptical of anyone he doesn't know, the other is of course the kinder one

.

Firefoot · 11-14-2004, 08:04 PM

I'm glad - I was trying to figure out just how to portray them so as to stay true to their characters. I'm thinking that due to their personalities Adranel will be opening up sometime in the next few game days to Beluf, since she already feels more comfortable with him than the other two...

Novnarwen · 11-15-2004, 10:45 AM

Ehm.. I'm a bit stuck. Or rather, my character, Ingemar, is a bit stuck. He is unconscious in the snow at the time, but surely he will be dead if no one finds him..

I'm rather unsure what to do. I don't think a man who's been unconscious in the snow, as he is about to freeze to death, will wake up by himself. A little help, fellow RPers?

Nova

Boromir88 · 11-17-2004, 04:27 PM

I just got my post up.

Captain- I plan on having my characters ultimately join the Gondorians. As of right now I just simply said that their road lies onward, but I plan on having them join the army down the road.

Firefoot- I had Beluf and Adranel seclude themselves from the Gondorians, figuring they wouldn't want to communicate with any of them. If you wish I could easily change that.

Novnarwen · 11-21-2004, 02:45 PM

I have just posted.

Thanks CoD for finding the poor fellow. A moment there, I seriously feared for Ingemar's health.

I hope you won't ask too many questions at once, as it might scare the heck out of him. He is after all just a little boy inside, and he is most highly confused after being out in the cold for a whole night!

Please let me know if my post needs edits!

Nova

Boromir88 · 11-21-2004, 04:28 PM

Firefoot- I ended with the question, thinking it would be interesting to see if Adranel continues to hide and cover up her emotions, or if she starts to open up

.

Boromir88 · 11-22-2004, 08:53 PM

I love your post Firefoot, good to see Adranel open up, eventhough if she's angered at this time. However, her accuracy could get some praising from Gelding

.

Anyway, what I wanted to tell everyone, was I'm leaving for Michigan to visit family on Wednesday, and won't be back until Saturday. I'll get up one more post before I go, but I can't promise I can post while away

.

CaptainofDespair · 11-26-2004, 09:23 AM

I should have a post up by Saturday night, or Sunday morning. It will be another one of my dual purpose posts. By Monday or Tuesday, we can *begin* the battle with the Orcs.

Umwe: I will be sending you a PM regarding the encounter with the Gondorians and Men of Dale.

Firefoot · 11-26-2004, 02:01 PM

CoD - you may have some problems reaching Umwe; just a guess because according to the members list he hasn't logged on for two weeks, nor has he posted to the Discussion Thread (or the game thread) for a month.

Other than that, I will look forward to the battle starting.

Firefoot · 12-18-2004, 08:41 AM

I will be away for Christmas from Wednesday the 22nd to Tuesday the 28th, which is unfortunately when the game is closing.

I should have some computer access, and will hopefully be able to get a post up sometime between the 24th-26th. I plan on having a post up today and one again before I leave.

Boromir88 · 12-18-2004, 08:44 AM

Sorry for the delay, I haven't been feeling well all week,

I too will get a post up today

CaptainofDespair · 12-18-2004, 12:13 PM

Well, it was poor planning on my part. I should have expected the Christmas delay.

I will put my new post up soon after the rest of you get yours up. I will be condensing Day 7 and 8 into one day, as well Day 9 and 10.

Pio: If it's alright with the Shire Mods, I'd like to extend the game closing date by a week, to accomodate the busy holiday times.
