Arestevana has returned, and says he will get a post up today getting the Lorien elves in position. Is this what should be done right now, or would everyone prefer to hold off a little longer?

I will be absent again from the 14th through the 21st of this month. Don't change the dates for the battle on my account, though: I'll make sure the Lorien Contingent is there. If Seth Cotton isn't back, I can PM a post to Durelin or Pio if necessary.
I'm sorry for bailing on everyone again. In the meantime, I will post this evening to bring the Lorien contingent closer to the meeting point.

Boromir88 · 08-08-2005, 08:13 PM

Firefoot, I'm free for anytime so it's up to people who have time constraints.

I filled in my save. It's short, but I got the dwarves started on the road. Sorry Arry, but Orin got the impression Skald wasn't too pleased with his selection of armor.

I only panicked because suddenly I thought I would have to edit - a birth and a birthday to be past not future events...............

Aman, I do believe you mean August 7th... unless you mean you won't be back for another year?

Smartass

I'm back, but as to how much I can get on is debateable - I'm having some issues with internet access at home and, as barrowdowns is blocked on the library computer (don't ask), I am currently using my mum's builder's laptop that I have borrowed for the afternoon. Again just...don't even ask. The lengths I go to for youse lot!

However, as we are on that thread at the moment, just to let you know that I will be away in Salisbury on a Cathedral singing holiday thingy from 21st August until 28th August (ha, got the right month this time!), and on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th September doing Silver Duke of Edinburough - a decision I seriously regretted on the practise walk and will probably regret again on the three day expedition. Not fun happy time...

Sorry...

I'll go read up now anyway - it's good to be back, however...tenuously.

Durelin · 08-09-2005, 11:35 AM

Aman - I'm so glad you're back! And I'm so sorry your having comp troubles. Let me know if you'll be able to get a post up in the next few days, just to have an idea of when to expect you. Please don't feel rushed into posting, though. You do go too far for us guys!

Oh are you doing a concert? Beware if the answer is yes I might come and listen..!!!!

Amanaduial the archer · 08-09-2005, 11:49 AM

Not a concert exactly - evensong every evening but Thursday in the Cathedral

Encaitare - computer probs; 7th thru maybe the 10th or so

I'll still be able to post; the library is right near my house.

Firefoot -- should we carry Kath's character until she returns, or kill him? Your idea of your character's revenge could be pretty sweet.

And I agree, we ought to play out the battle. Warning to you all: I've never written a battle sequence before, whether in fanfiction or RPG. Therefore my descriptions might not be so hot... but I'll do my best!

It doesn't make much difference to me when the battle starts. Whenever everyone's ready...

I don't think it would be that hard to carry Kath's character along, and, like Durelin said, we're not to the final battle yet. Revenge could always happen at that point. So I guess I'm for carrying him along.

How glorious..... well it will depend on work ..... 5.30 kick off is too tight to be certain.....

Amanaduial the archer · 08-09-2005, 01:35 PM

Durelin - don't be silly

And thanks - but post is up nonetheless

Do you want to set up the meeting or shall I?

Mithalwen - hmm. I don't know yet - any idea what time evensong is usually? It varies - at Windsor it was about 6:00, but Ripon was like 3:30. So I'm not sure, I won't know until we get there. But that would be amazing

You live in Salisbury?

Firefoot · 08-14-2005, 07:25 PM

The Orcs have begun their attack; after firing some arrows, they charged down into the valley. I set it up so that the Orcs will be attacking from the front/side, trying to cut the Elves off, so that the Dwarves will be able to come up from behind, besetting the Orcs on both sides. In case that isn't clear, here's a really quickie map I whipped up:

Folwren · 08-14-2005, 08:00 PM

Well, I'm back.

It appears that I've missed a lot of conversation. If someone could please fill me in with a few nice, sweet paragraphs, that'd be great. Otherwise, I think I'd have to read pages...

I'll catch up on the RPG reading itself whenever I have time. Some of it can be managed this evening, I'm sure.

Until later, when I have questions...

Encaitare · 08-14-2005, 08:21 PM

You haven't missed much, Folwren, don't worry. The thread has just expanded suddenly because Pio merged the Planning thread with this one.

Folwren · 08-18-2005, 07:58 AM

Arry, I answered your question by PM without even knowing you asked it! Leastways, I kind of answered it...here's a reply to the rest of what you asked.

I don't know to what extent he is wounded, but he is pretty unconscious. After a moment (probably by the time Skald gets to him), Bror will have come to slightly, but not very much. I don't think he'll be able to respond to Skald if he talks to him. He'll be dizzy and disoriented, hardly unable to see straight, and though he'll know Skald's voice, he won't know what he's saying and he won't be able to answer.

That work?

piosenniel · 08-18-2005, 10:46 AM

Riv has lost a lot of blood from the wound beneath his right arm. He's limp, unconscious, unable to respond save for groans of pain if the arm is moved too much.

Poor Unna! She will be quite distraught. Let's hope Leifr doesn't lose his daddy!

~*~ Pio

Mithalwen · 08-18-2005, 12:57 PM

Aman - I am almost certain to be able to get to Salisbury on Thursday... (will be a quiet week at work and so I can take time off).... so if you wouldn't be too freaked....

piosenniel · 08-18-2005, 02:15 PM

I don't suppose we could see a pic of the two of you . . . pretty please . . .
