Everybody: I'm am terribly sorry! But I will not be posting at all during Spring break.

Again, sorry all!

Orofaniel · 03-15-2004, 08:49 AM

First I want to apologise for my absence….

Carlas, Pyro

Quote:

So, Orcs, what are we going to do? I imagine that we should probably get down to the dirty work of killing off Captain Turgrog. I would like to hear of your plans, Oro and Carlas. I've made the last two posts, and I should let you guys take a turn.

*nods* Lets start doing something.

Quote:

I don't think I will be able to post before then, so I think it would be good if the other orcs wrote a post with what they are thinking about finally starting the revolt (and maybe start thinking up some schemes) I will write the post for the meeting during the break, and hopefully have it up on Mondey at the latest.

Okay, how about all of us write one small Orc post each, containing our characters thoughts before the meeting. Then the last person who posts could take us forwards to the meeting.

That's just a thought though...

Anyway, when the meeting begins, what will our Orcs do? We have to figure that out. And I also think we need a plan for killing the Captain, with a schedule....timing is everything people.

I could have a post up for my character, containing his thoughts about the meeting/revolt by tomorrow.

How about that? Other ideas? Anyway, if you have idea for the "meeting" itself we need to talk about it, don't you think?

Oro

Imladris · 03-15-2004, 09:46 PM

Glad to see you back, Oro!

Okay, I have now started the action in Mirkwood. I suppose it might seem as if I'm rushing this rather quickly and, in truth, I am. My reasoning is this: time wise, I think we have only half of it left, which means we should be halfway throught he game right now which we aren't. I would rather spend less time on the journey and spend more time on the drama in Moria as there shall be plenty of complications and problems once we get in there.

Cheers to all!
Imladris

PS: on a sidenote, happy birthday Saraphim!

Melisil · 03-16-2004, 01:00 PM

Well, I said I'd be absent, but I don't know if I will be now. So I've posted a post for Loni, if I'll get another one in over the next few days or not, I don't know!

Amanaduial the archer · 03-16-2004, 03:32 PM

Thanks Melisil, it's appreciated - thanks for letting us know

Imladris · 03-16-2004, 06:38 PM

Yes, Melisil, many thanks for notifying us about your situation...

Goodness! What an interesting twist things have taken....veerry interesting (yes that was a Jack Sparrow imitation)....not how I expected it at all, which is very good because now I have to think of a really good post *evil Calvin grin*.

I will try to post as soon as possible...things are going quite nicely on the game...

Amanaduial the archer · 03-17-2004, 01:16 PM

Imladris - In your post you referred to the Prince as 'Prince Thorgeleb'. By my understanding, it was one of the other elves called Thorgeleb - Mark12_30, could you confirm one way or the other please?

In Tolkien, other than Legolas, the names of the sons of Thranduil are not actually mentioned, I think - I posted a topic to check this for something else some time last year in The Books, and the replies came that none of the others were mentioned by name.

Nice post, Imladris - I especially liked the description of "pale, ivory, willowy elves". Nice...

Will Witfoot · 03-17-2004, 01:39 PM

Hehee! A fight, me hearties!

Finally we get to the fine art of disemboweling elf.

...

We DO get to cut them, dont we? Just a little bit?

Without any of this nonsense 'solving fights by talking'.. *mutter mutter, rant rant rant..*

Amanaduial the archer · 03-17-2004, 02:54 PM

Lol, well Will since you asked...

No, I think there will not be much solving with words - a full out fight it can be, and yes, you can 'cut them' a little bit

Just one condition: Please do not kill any of the elves. They are only NPCs, but for the sake of realism and sticking to Tolkien by not starting an elf-dwarf war which Tolkien somehow didn't mention (and which would probably have severely got in the way of Gimli and Legolas's friendship), please do not kill any of the elves. Bruises, cuts, maybe a broken limb or two - but no deaths please. And it goes without saying that without the owner's permission there will be no dwarven deaths - those will come later *evil*

Whether the elves manage to catch the dwarves and bring them to Thranduil or whether they get away by fleeing, yelling catcalls behind them, is up to you lot and how the game pans out - personally, I'd go for number two, what do you all think?

Perky Ent, where are you? Please, do post, as after two weeks your character may be considered unplayed and dealt with accordingly.

Saraphim · 03-17-2004, 04:53 PM

Huzzah! Another fight! Judging by what you said, Amanaduial , it's going to be generally another fistfight, but more intense?
No drawing weapons, right?

Imladris · 03-17-2004, 05:21 PM

Heh, this is what I'm thinking. It's not a serious fight at all. The elves will basically let the dwarves go, since they aren't really enemies and are just passing through. They will also remember what happened with Thorin and Co.

My thinking is that this is a mere feint to maintain honour on both sides and yes there will be name calling as Aman said.

Cheers!
Imladris

mark12_30 · 03-17-2004, 05:45 PM

True, Aman, Thorgeleb is just a courtier, not a prince. Your basic, vanilla wood-elf...

.... in my first post I mentioned that Lîs was making a bracelet for one of the courtiers' fiancee; while I was writing the post, I thought perhaps word of mouth might have made Lîs's opal-work popular among the courtiers. Thorgeleb is just a nickname that means Eagle-silver (at least, I hope that's what it means!)

Considering that it is a nickname of endearment known (formerly) only to his fiancee, the name "Thorgeleb" becomes vaguely the equivalent of "Sweetums", or "Snookykins". Feel free to have some fun at the poor chap's expense, Dwarves. The elves won't, because they have to live with the guy...

(ps. Aman-- and here I thought we were having an encounter with pre-War Legolas Green-Leaf!! Rats. Oh well, it was a pleasant thought. Shall we name one or three of his brothers? Brown-Pinecone? Tan-Acorn? Red-Twig? Green-Maple-Whirlygig? Grey-Fuzzy-Pollen??)

Imladris · 03-17-2004, 06:28 PM

Then I shall edit my post accordingly...

And thank you Aman for the compliment on my post...

Cheers!

Pyroclastic · 03-18-2004, 12:27 AM

Oro and Carlas,

I'll hop right to my next Uzgash post. It'll most likely be a short one, a set up for the impending meeting. I'll have it either tomorrow or Friday. Hmm...*Pyroclastic thinks like an orc*

Rock on everybody, I'm having a great time reading the Dwarven posts! Too bad you all DIE! Ah ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Imladris · 03-18-2004, 06:51 PM

Good to have you with us, Perky Ent...and no need to apologize...

Aylwen, where are you? The last time you posted was on 2/24...

mark12_30 · 03-18-2004, 08:58 PM

Aman, are you the sole owner of the elves? What's next? I vote for a bit of mayhem, some bruises and a few lousy shots, lots of name-calling, and at least one elf assigned to track the dwarves til they leave Thranduil's territory, and make sure they stay harmless.

If you're looking for a volunteer, how about Thorgeleb? (raises hand)

The Perky Ent · 03-18-2004, 09:10 PM

Just a little comment, my post will start off before the dwarves enter mirkwood and end where the rest of the group is. So it might seem weird that i'm typing about stuff that already happened, but...it isn't weird...it's just my bad luck!

Furthermore, it isn't my lack of writing skills, but Nali's skitsophrania that will make his letter both in 1st and 3rd person! Sorry, Sorry Sorry

Carlas · 03-19-2004, 10:59 AM

Pyro and Oro,

Check your PMs and try to reply by Sunday if you can. Thanks!

Nooo, no, I'm not the 'sole owner' of the elves - although that is a tempting idea...ahem, anyway

I like that idea, Mark - would this involve us actually getting dragged off to the palace? Because I'm pretty sure the dwarves aren't going to stand for that. Hows about we have the mayhem etc, then the dwarves high-tail it away, and the Prince (shall we say this is the pre-war, fifty years younger version of Legolas?) sends one of his elves to accompany them - like Thorgeleb, as you kindly volunteered him. Later, the dwarves may notice there is an elf following them (possibly they will get lost and he will help them? A thought maybe. Balin's one of those guys who will never, ever ask for directions, methinks...

), but they will restrain themselves from attacking again, putting up with him until they are out of the forest. Hey, maybe this could even be the start of the change between dwarves and elves...or not

What do you think?

mark12_30 · 03-19-2004, 09:12 PM

Aman--

Love it! I'm all for your plan.

In terms of Balin never asking for directions-- it would be fun to have Thorgeleb figure out that Balin wants *no* help (maybe via discussion with Lînsie* ) and finds some clever elvish way of leading them where they should go-- remember Haldir & friends decoying the orcs with voices? Similar deal.

Lînsie being the good buisinesswoman that she is, she'll be looking to keep her elvish customers happy. I just hope nobody calls her a traitor...

So-- ho, ho, skirmish away, lads!!! *zing* *duck* *splat*

--mark12_30

*Lîs/Lîn gets tedious to write and read after a while. I like "Lînsie " better... I wonder who came up with it, her dad or Balin...

Imladris · 03-19-2004, 09:20 PM

Absolutely wonderful...I'll try and write a post tomorrow sometime (no time tonight more than likely). Yes, I like the idea of getting lost and Lînsie and Thorgeleb figuring out a subtle way of leading the dwarves...

I like the new nickname, btw.

Quote:

*zing* *duck* *splat*

Imladris · 03-20-2004, 12:35 AM

Thank you, mark12_30, for starting the skirmish. I was thinking and thinking about it tonight and was quite at a loss at how to start it. Thank you.

And let's not forget this tidbit of information:

Floi (aka, Nilpaurion Felagund) feel free to use this since Thorgeleb was the one who attacked you according to mark12_30's post. But don't feel obligated to of course.

Aylwen Dreamsong , please check your PMs.

I salute myself for two reasons:
1. I got my post posted only one day late! An accomplishment.
2. Unless I'm mistaken, Uzgash is once again leading off the new thread page. He's a representive for us all.

Life is about the little things, so I celebrate everything. It makes me a happier person. If anybody has any problems with my latest post, too bad. JUST KIDDING!

As always, I'm compleatly flexable with regard to re-writing my posts. I've got another tourney tomorrow, so I'll check back either tomorrow night or Monday afternoon. As it is, I've been on the computer for, lets see...10.5 hours now, and boy am I tired. Yep, I just love my professors. "This shoud be a simple assignment." Yeah, If you're a Yale Law School Graduate!

No wonder I enjoy being an orc so much. I have a lot of agression...

Yes, excellent posting all around, and Aman your post with Flori fighting was absolutely hilarious!

Balin & Co are now lost in the forest.

I got my post posted only one day late! An accomplishment. 2. Unless I'm mistaken, Uzgash is once again leading off the new thread page. He's a representive for us all. Life is about the little things, so I celebrate everything. It makes me a happier person. If anybody has any problems with my latest post, too bad. JUST KIDDING! As always, I'm compleatly flexable with regard to re-writing my posts. I've got another tourney tomorrow, so I'll check back either tomorrow night or Monday afternoon. As it is, I've been on the computer for, lets see...10.5 hours now, and boy am I tired. Yep, I just love my professors. "This shoud be a simple assignment." Yeah, If you're a Yale Law School Graduate! No wonder I enjoy being an orc so much. I have a lot of agression... ~A Slightly Derranged Pyro~ __________________ If You Can't Beat 'Em, Cheat 'Em!
