Hilde,

Whoops! My apologies.....calling a hobbit a dwarf.

I thought hobbit and wrote dwarf. Actually, I am missing Durelin's Vrór.

Tevildo · 01-01-2008, 12:19 AM

A hobbit it is...

My intro is up. Hilde, if you need something changed, tell me.

And happy new year, everyone.

Could anyone of you people writing about things going on at the pit consider someone there Azhar, Athwen, Carl... or one of the children calling loudly for help?

That could have interesting consequences as people wittnessing the other drama are right now quite worried about there being more orcs around and scared for the sake of their youth...

Hilde Bracegirdle · 01-01-2008, 09:19 AM

Thanks Tevildo, it's perfect. I'm hoping to get another post in this morning.

Not to worry Child I'm also missing Vror, and very much wish he could be there to help out.

And Nogrod I have an idea for a bit of noise, if everyone deems it the right timing. I'm wondering if it should happen after Rog's situation/ploy has played out though.

Happy 2008 everyone!

EDIT: The post is up. Please let me know if I need to change anything. I might not be able to peek in again until tomorrow afternoon.

Let's keep up with the involvement...

This one still needs a push and we have done it nicely the last days. Let's not just think it will go on by itself from now on.

If you don't post I will.

And that's a threat!

So, is it pretty much the consensus that you are going to kill those captive Orcs? No one has spoken up about any other sort of deal; that's the sense I get from Nogrod's last post.

If so - then I need to figure out something to do with Rôg and Undómë will need to do something with her 2 characters.

Was Lindil or Aiwendil going to chime in?

Folwren · 01-03-2008, 07:47 PM

Pio, his last post (if you're talking about the last one here on this thread) was humorous...almost sarcasm, methinks. His threat was commical. He's not killing any orcs.

I believe that the plan is to have everyone distracted by the kids in the pit, though how that will cure the problem entirely, I'm not yet certain.

Whatever the case, you're right. Things do need to be figured out with Rog and Undome's two characters.

Ahh... sorry!

Child wishes to get Makdush killed and a row in the crowd would make a good explanation why someone kills Makdush in sudden anger (someone just jumps on one of the orcs and that happens to be Makdush) before anyone can stop the act.

I should have said that...

Other orcs should stay alive I believe.

If you refer to my last post in the actual thread then I think I need to explain it shortly.

It seemed that everyone (our characters) would be for letting the orcs live - and why not as it's our aim in the end. Now just a moment ago they were ready to kill them. There needed be some credible opposition so I tried to bring that forwards in my last posts in the thread so that our characters could argue against an openly spoken "let's kill them" mentality.

I've never wished for the orcs to die (I even opposed Child's decision to kill Makdush - well I lightly protested to her about it - but surely it's her character and she can do with him whatever she wishes). On the contrary. Writing the orcs has been one of the most interesting things of this game!
