Woo, Hilde! Great post!

Hmm, it has been a while since I've seen Tevildo around (last logged June 1st it says)...everyone else has been very busy but around now and again at least, I think.

I need to get Vror involved again.

As Hilde said, I think the only thing we really need to sort out is how the men and orcs come to cooperate. Well, of course that's the whole point of this part, that coming together of the groups. But I guess all the circumstances that bring them together need to be fleshed out pretty completely.

I guess the orcs would find out that Gwella was trapped with the human children? How they should was something I was trying to figure out before. I guess if she's just missing...?

Yeah, I really want to do things other than homework right now...

Hilde Bracegirdle · 09-29-2008, 04:18 PM

I'm wondering if the Men would feel comfortable leaving the orcs to rescue the children? I think not. But then again it would be harder to keep an eye on them during any sort of chaotic sequence, if they join them at the pit. But...if they did, they could simply hear poor Gwella trapped down there.
I could see an impatient orc implusively going in to the rescue, especially hearing Gwella over the confusion as the others waste time arguing how to go about the rescue and still guard the orcs.

I hope my decision to rush Gwerr and Ishkur to the place and fill the place of an orc bringing the people up (like in Hilde's post) is not too far-fetched. I was kind of counting on the idea that the people were too confused to act - and that they didn't have the ropes there.

Regin: I hope Ishkur is alright by you - and hope to see you post as well in here!

Nice Nogrod! Everybody, just let me know if I need to move my post down a bit. I'd be only too happy to.

You guys are great! I'm back in my house. The contractor is supposed to come Monday to make repairs. I got some internet and cable back a few days ago, though it keeps going up and down. I'll try very hard to read this over after the weekend.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 10-11-2008, 05:53 PM

Yea! Glad you're back Child!

So is it just the Orcs getting the kids out? I figured some of both the humans and orcs would end up helping each other do so? Just the way I was picturing it was that Khamir and probably others took off in the direction of the pit already (and some were already waiting around there to start).

Don't want to be picky or anything, was just feeling that leaving the humans out completely is a little much. And that being forced to work together is better for relations than the orcs doing all the work.

I may also be completely off on what's going on. ><
