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

I've filled my save.

Firefoot - "Ingemaa" has "attacked" your character! I'm truly sorry, but he thought she was an orc! Sorry! I hope he hasn't done too much damage.

Please let me know if you were okay with it. I know I'm not supposed to atcually 'hurt' someone else's character, and that's why I haven't said anything about how Adranel is after the "attack".

I don't know whether you'll be going for, if you approve of my post, an icy relationship with Ingemar after this.. I suppose it could be interesting. At any rate, Ingemar is (and will continue to be) very fond of Adranel....

Cheers,
Nova

Firefoot · 11-28-2004, 01:26 PM

Very interesting, Nova! I like it (Plot twists are the spice of life

).

CaptainofDespair · 11-28-2004, 04:45 PM

Alrighty, my post is up. The day has ended, and the new one begins. There may be a small conflict between Ingemar and Adranel's 'fight' in my post. If it must be corrected, I'll fix it. Also, my character has spoke with Sjorging, and discussed both the troop size, and the possibility of the Men of Dale hanging around the Host.

Also, I will putting up a post within the next few days for the Orcs. They will begin the ambush in that post, and you will be left to fend it off.

Firefoot · 11-28-2004, 05:01 PM

There is a small conflict - I have Adranel much more injured than you do. A 'bump' to the head and possibly a broken rib, with a touch of fever thrown in. She shouldn't slow them down too much, though.

Please note:

When you are editing a post on the game - filling in a SAVE, etc., please DO NOT fill in the "Reason for Editing" box. They become unnecessary out of character comments on the game thread.

Instead - please draw your fellow gamers' attention to the edit by commenting on it on the Discussion Thread if needed.

Thanks!

Firefoot · 11-29-2004, 04:20 AM

CoD - I have added some onto my post (the last three paragraphs) to make it easier to fit with yours. Basically all you would have to do would be add something in the middle of your last paragraph before the first break to indicate a passage of time, because (though hurt) Adranel is up and about as you had her.

Boromir88 · 11-29-2004, 05:26 AM

Nova-I love your post, adds a touch of comedy, with finding out more about your character

.

Firefoot- You must have read my mind, but I'm afraid the orcs might interrupt

.

Boromir88 · 11-29-2004, 03:14 PM

Firefoot-Before I move on to the morning, with the orc attack, I decided to stop it with Beluf. He's hoping Adranel can understand

.

CoD-I will post on the orc attack after Firefoot can get her's in response up. We'll just have to see if this small fray get's Sjorging's "hard-heart" burning for orc blood again

.

Firefoot · 11-29-2004, 05:11 PM

To make the timing fit together right, what if I just put Boromir88's post at the bottom of my last one, and put my response underneath that? As it is now, I don't suppose the sequencing makes a lot of sense.

Boromir88 · 11-29-2004, 05:29 PM

You are right, the sequencing is off. I was going to just continue to the next day for the orc raid. But, I decided to have Beluf apologize, what I could do is I could just delete the whole scene with Beluf, move onto the next day, and make the apology after the fray, if that suits everyone better?

Nova-I would like my characters to meet Ingemar, however, visitation of your character has been shut down. We could devise a way for them to meet, any ideas?

Firefoot · 11-29-2004, 06:19 PM

It doesn't matter to me which way we do it. Continued tension between Adranel and Beluf might be interesting, however.

CaptainofDespair · 12-02-2004, 01:23 PM

The Orcs have made their attack. Since Umwe is no longer available to command the orcs, we need not worry about an escape, and a regrouping at Gundabad. Thus, let no orc remain standing!

. . . "Muddy Bells!!" she mutters, trying to give reps to the gamers . . .

Apparently I need to 'spread more reputation around' before coming back to this fine game.

So, let me just tell all of you writers how much I'm enjoying follwing along with the storyline as it develops.

~*~ Pio

Novnarwen · 12-06-2004, 02:06 PM

Okay, I have filled my save. Sorry for the delay.

What do you say to your characters trying to get Ingemar down from the tree? The poor fellow will not likely come down at once, so it'll probably prove difficult, but I believe your guys can manage...

Yes?

I hope my post was to your satisfaction, CoD, (and others). If not, then please do tell and I'll edit.

Pio - I'm glad you're enjoying the game. I am too!

Cheers,
Nova

Boromir88 · 12-06-2004, 07:49 PM

Well, Beluf met Inegmar, but Inegmar doesn't seem to have any urge to leave from his tree. Unless....Inegmar happens to want food...

Boromir88 · 12-07-2004, 03:30 PM

Looks good Witchy, maybe sometime tonight we can have a formal introduction

.

CaptainofDespair · 12-07-2004, 04:34 PM

Well done, everyone!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading all your posts. It has been a good game thus far, and I hope it will continue as such.

Pio: I've noticed the game is about halfway done. Since the timeline gets a bit dull around the middle, I'd like to remove Day 6, to add a bit of time for the rest of the game.

That's fine! The game is going along quite well. Go ahead and call the shots as you see them.

Boromir88 · 12-10-2004, 05:18 AM

Good news, I got it working sooner then I expected,

. I thought I was going to have to do the same thing the last time my computer crashed

.

Boromir88 · 12-09-2004, 12:23 PM

Right now I'm on my work computer, my home computer has crashed and will try to get that fixed asap. So, you won't see a post from me in atleast the next couple days, this is going to be a long process.

Novnarwen · 12-09-2004, 03:41 PM

I have filled my save.

I'll do some edits tomorrow, but right now I'm too tired. (I was almost done filling my save, when I clicked the wrong button and all was lost!)

Hope your computer 'gets well', Boromir.

Nova

Boromir88 · 12-18-2004, 09:17 PM

Uh-oh, it appears Firefoot and I were cross-posting, and got her post up before mine. Is there a way to switch around the posts, to make the time fit together?

Firefoot · 12-18-2004, 09:41 PM

Due to the cross-posting some of the events in the two posts contradict each other, so I took my post down and replaced it with a save after B88's post. I should have it filled tomorrow morning - I'd do it right now but it's getting late.

piosenniel · 12-19-2004, 02:42 AM

Please Note:

CoD and I have agreed on a new end date for the game: 1/9. That should give enough time for a satisfactory ending to this well written game.

~*~ Pio

Boromir88 · 12-19-2004, 08:50 AM

Thanks for changing Firefoot, I appreciate it. I've had strep throat all week, and this medicine is just giving me nasty side effect, I think I might go back to the doctor's tomorrow.

I love your post, I still can't figure out your character, she feels so lonely, and hates it, but puts it upon herself to be lonely

. Oh well, time will tell, I think it just makes the RPG more interesting

.

CaptainofDespair · 12-19-2004, 10:45 AM

My post is now up. The Gondorians host, and the Men of Dale have reached Gundabad, and set camp. To save time, I have included the parley with the orc chieftain.

Soredamor and Berserker_Warrior: I will be dispatching PMs to both of you, very soon.

Novnarwen · 12-20-2004, 03:09 PM

Eeeek! Ingemar has done it again; being in love with armour and the word 'Assault', he has cried out 'assault', and the whole camp is just a big chaos, because it is believed that there actually is an assault!

I hope some of you manage to fix this. Don't be too harsh on poor Ingemar though.

Please let me know if my post needs edits!

Cheers,
Nova

Soredamor · 12-20-2004, 04:48 PM

Sorry for the many delays!

Finally the goblin forces have basically reached Gundabad, though it is not at all like Grûglach to just barge in.

Speaking of barging in, would it be convenient if I do a bit of role stealing and get those orcs at Gundabad in on the action?

CaptainofDespair · 12-20-2004, 05:16 PM

Hehe...Tis a fine post, Nova. You've done wonderful work with Ingemar. The post is fine, and I'm sure someone will manage to stop the commotion that has started.

Soredamor: I'm not entirely sure what you would do with the Gundabad orcs, but go ahead. Just don't 'steal' too many. If anything would need to be changed, I'll let you know. I have yet to hear from Beserker_Warrior, and so I'm unsure if he is even active. Until this is resolved, don't do too much with the Gundabad orcs.
