The Fellowship of the Fourth Age (Part 1): A New Beginning Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Regin Hardhammer · 04-10-2007, 06:33 AM

My gut feeling is that we should try and set this up so no one ends up dying. There will be so much built-in resentment between the two groups that piling deaths on top of that will be very hard to deal with. I think Durelin's idea of sneaking in through the tunnel and then getting caught would let us do this.

Sorry I was a bit too optimistic about my chances to write that orc-stuff today. The ww-game got a bit too exciting in the end to give me a chance to stray away from it...

But here is the outline of my post to come tomorrow if anyone (Regin / Child) wishes to move on from it.

Gwerr will speak sense to Ishkur that it's foolish to try and attack the riders full-frontal. So they will sneak out from the tent and leave the horse in a safe place (not giving any hints to Makdush, if possible). Then they will start pondering what to do and how to save their friends.

I will not include anything of this discussion so either Regin or Child could pick up from that whenever they wished. I'll end my post in the situation where they all think "what's the next move?".

If neither of you (Regin / Child) have posted when I'm making this tomorrow I will take the liberty to begin the discussion...

Happy Birthday to our marvellous game owner, Child of the 7th Age!!!

*confetti and cake*

And this game will be celebrating its first birthday not too long from now, eh?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 04-11-2007, 02:11 PM

Oh yes! Happy Birthday Child!!!! And many happy returns of the day!

PS Carl's post is in place.

Nogrod · 04-11-2007, 02:14 PM

Oh well! Happy birthday Child!

May you have ten times the birthdays you've already gotten!

The save is filled now. Please Regin and Child check it, I tried to use your characters as little as possible as I wasn't quite sure about how they would react but we were in a hurry to get the three out from the tent.

I made Gwerr suggest they try to find the females and attack with a larger group, but clearly that is not going to happen. So we'll have to just write them not being able to search well enough or whatever. But your turn now...

Regin Hardhammer · 04-13-2007, 05:32 PM

This looks good. I am home for the weekend and will try to get something up.

Out of curiosity... where are the female Orcs now?

"Whobody" knows?

They're hidden somewhere outside the camp. Maybe at around the orc-camp, maybe somewhere else.

Only they know...
