The Eye Ungoliant's Children Discussion Thread

Witch_Queen invites you to play in her game:

Ungoliant's Children

~*~

Historical Background After Bilbo and the dwarves escaped from Mirkwood the threat of a spider attack increased. Bilbo and the dwarves only caused the spiders to wake up. Now the spiders have begun wandering around the forest in search of food. A few elves have gone missing and Thranduil has sent out scouts. The only thing is no one has heard a word from any of the scouts.

Basic Storyline:

The purpose of the story is to follow the group led by Thranduil to the outer reaches of the Mirkwood forest. Some feel that their search for revenge or to prove their bravery is perhaps not the best idea. Questioning their motives for the journey and their faith in Thranduil, the group will come closer as a few decide to turn back.

Timeline for the Game:

1. Elves get lost after they chase the spiders south--going in circles. (3 weeks play time)

2. The hunters become the hunted, and the spiders kill off several Elves. There is much argument, with some Elves wondering if they should have come. (3 weeks play time)

3. Elves develop a plan to counterattack. Perhaps they discover the place where the spiders hatch and devise a plan to destroy it. Return to court. (3 weeks play time)

~*~

Obstacles: For the first week the "group" are going around in circle without realizing it until Thranduil notices it. Some arguments may break out between some of the members and their leader. A few may believe that perhaps Thranduil isn't the best elf to be leading them.

After a week of game play and the second "campsite" a few of the carry-alongs go missing during the night. All that remains are a few swords and spider legs.

After chasing a group of spiders the group then realizes they are not familar with their surroundings anymore. The Spiders have led them far south into a part of Mirkwood they are not familiar with. Plus not to mention the fact that the group is no longer the hunters but instead they have become the hunted.

Characters needed:

7 Mirkwood elves – male (each character may have at least one or two carry-alongs, if they choose - a short character description will need to be given for the carry-alongs.)

~*~

NOTE: Prospective Players - Please use this as a guide for your Elven characters:

At the end of The Return of the King, Appendix F, is Tolkien’s description for Elves that we try to use in the Shire as a model for Elven appearance:

'They were a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as kings, who now are gone: the people of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars. They were tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finarfin; and their voices had more melodies than any mortal voice that now is heard.'

NAME: King Thranduil

AGE: 7000 years old

RACE: Silvan Elf

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS:Thranduil has a black long bow and two swords. He has red armor with a white star on the center of the chest piece.

APPEARANCE: He has golden hair down to his elbows. His hair is always hanging loose with a few strands of hair in braids. Upon his head rests a crown of leaves. His grey eyes look as if he can see through the disguise of his enemies. On his face are a few stress lines which only add to his majestic look.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Even though he is seen as a "know-it-all" leader he doubts his decisions in life. Some times what he does is for the benefit of Mirkwood but deep down in his heart he can't decide if it is to better his own role in Middle Earth. Thranduil cares deeply for his child and doesn't want to see any harm done to his family or his kingdom. He doesn't allow his ego to get to him. Thranduil is more of a friend to everyone rather than a King. You could say his concern for his kingdom is his only weakness.

HISTORY: Thranduil has one child, Legolas. Thranduil is a strong king and loves his people very much. A few months prior to this "spider" invasion Thranduil had to put up with 13 dwarves and 1 unseen hobbit.

~*~

Witch_Queen’s post ------ FIRST FOR GAME

Thranduil was sitting alone at the back door to his home watching the birds play in the near by trees. He heard his name being called and turned to see that his dear friend Faurry had come to join him. Still up set about the dwarves escaping Thranduil had distanced himself from the others.

Thranduil sent out a scout to investigate the dwarves' story of increased spiders in his forest. It had been a couple of days and they still hadn't heard a word from him. He feared that the dwarves were right. "Still no word about Eruever?" He turned to face Faurry, who seemed to be reading his every thought. The women were frightened that the spiders were going to take over Mirkwood. That was something Thranduil wasn't going to let happen.

The two sat there talking about the previous years when the news came. Eruever's sword had been found along with his armor. The story was true, the spiders had been awakened.

Thranduil organized a meeting with all the men. HE had underestimated the number of elves there were. "Elves of Mirkwood, what you have heard is true. There is a growing threat of spiders in the forest. The spiders are no longer cowards. They are coming out of the deeper parts of the forest and are coming closer to our city. I have decided to lead a group into the forest to reclaim the safety we have lost. I am not requiring for everyone to take up arms with me to solve our problem. I am asking you all as a fellow elf, help me. I only need a few men. The others will have to stay back and see to it that if and I mean if we shall fail, that our great land isn't over-run by those eight-legged monsters." He paused to catch his breath.

The room was silent and Thranduil didn't know what to think. Now what? I know silence is deadly but this is takes it too far. He changed the tone of his voice, "If anyone has a better idea, I am open to suggestions. All I know is that the longer we delay, the bigger the chance of the group not returning. So what do you say?" Thranduil took a step back and sat down in a near by chair.

At about that time a few women came in with a barrel of ale. Thranduil wasn't sure how long the meeting would last so he had drinks brought in for everyone. After wetting his throat, Thranduil returned to his chair. "Well?"

Hookbill the Goomba's post

Standing by the door, Taurthol found that he could think of nothing to suggest. Usually he was full of ideas, but today he had not been feeling one hundred percent. He wanted rest, but knew that he would not be permitted it. The earlier party had left a lot of them worn out.

Then all of a sudden, with out warning he drew his sword, and many others did also. He thought he knew what this meant. They had to fight. He knew that there was not much else they could do. Unless some elf came up with an ingenious strategy that did not involve going out to meet them head on, they had a challenge on their hands.

CHARACTER INFO:

Name: Ercuion

Age: 1,200

Race: Elf, Silvan

Gender: Male

Weapons: Sword, Long Bow (quiver of arrows), Long White Ivory Knife, Dark Green cloth (tunic).

Appearance: Fair skinned, grey eyes, dark black hair, cloth boots/shoes.

Personality/strengths/weaknesses:
Loyal soldier, sticks with Thranduil through thick and thin. Being Silvan he is below an average Sindar elf in weapon skill. If he is given orders he will do them and give his 110%. His unwillingness to speak his mind gets him into trouble, both mentally and literally.

History:
Born in Mirkwood and has been a loyal soldier to Thranduil for his whole life. He is the son of Mallomion and Thindilien. His parents dwell along the Eastern border, close to the River Running. Ercuion roamed endlessly around Mirkwood, becoming familiar with the land and it's surroundings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boromir88's post

Ercuion immediately thinks of his family, wondering if they have any knowledge of the threat. He says to himself "if Thranduil calls an urgent meeting to discuss a problem, about the spiders, the situation must be serious." He was more then eager to join the Scouting party in order to eradicate the spiders for good, or so he hopefully thinks.

Ercuion feels instead of sending out a small party, they should send out in full force, maybe a couple thousand man army, in order to wipe out the spiders before they become too strong. He gives in to the thought of having his idea rejected. He can't say anything, can only think "what if, what if they go along with my plan, but it turns into utter failure, and thousands of innocent elves are killed, BECAUSE OF ME!" Ercuion doesn't propose his plan. He just sits and waits out the meeting, waiting for his chance to join the scouting party.

Yes, you need to do an opening post for your character.

Please look at Witch_Queen's opening post for the game. Your Elf is one of those gathered in the hall with Thranduil.

Go ahead and let us see what he thinks of the spiders and their menace, if you wish (have any of his friends or family been done in by the spiders, for example), and does he agree with the King's plan, does he have something to add to it, or does he want to propose a different plan.

----

You also need to edit your Elf's history - It is not T.A. 3018. The timeframe for the game is TA 2941. This is the year that Bilbo and the Dwarves set out to recover the Dwarven treasure from Smaug.

Mirkwood is still 'Mirkwood' at this point.

I've moved your post up to where your character description is - it makes it easier for me when I transfer the first posts to the game.

EDIT: Thank you for editing your history, B88!

Good evening/morning?,

This is beginning to look good. Its nice to see that some people are worried about their families more than themselves.

Remember: Each person is allowed to have one of two carry alongs. Yet there must be a short character description provided. If no one feels up to the challenge then I guess I will add them in to the mixture

Boromir88: In the long run it will be a small army/ group. At least you have mentioned an alternative. Perhaps later your character can confront Thranduil about his idea. I would almost say that you could use that to an advantage. The fact that he brought the idea up to Thranduil and he said it was good but didn't seem logical at the time. Maybe it will be better as time progresses.

I'm going to enjoy playing with everyone so far.

1420!

This is my tag along character for Ercuion.

Name: Nefal

Age: 1,048

Race: Elf, Silvan

Gender: Male

Weapons: Long bow and Arrows, short iron dagger/knife, cloth tunic, sturdy leather pauldrons and greaves.

Appearance: medium build, grey eyes, jet black hair down to the middle of his back.

Personality/Strengths/Weaknesses:
Persuasive talker, young and is all about killing anything evil. He is the younger brother of Ercuion, and totally opposite. Much better then Ercuion in weapon skill, but his arrogance and pompous attitude gets him into trouble. He feels Ercuion needs to stop being passive and speak his mind. Nefal will push so hard he might force his older brother to choose between Thranduil or him!

History:
Ercuion's younger brother. Eventhough they were brothers they sort of split off and went on their own paths. Ercuion loved to roam about Mirkwood, where Nefal's only pleasure came in slaying an orc or a deadly animal. Despite their differences they are still fairly close and Ercuion watches over his younger brother, but is Nefal tired of being in the shadow of his older brother?

Boromir88: Thats good. Now if Pio has any furthur questions about, Pio will let you know. At least we now have at least one carry-along. Yeah one less for me to come up with.

Pio: Theres two people so far. Hama will be posting some time soon. Lets just hope that we can get the rest of the number needed. *Sigh*

Hookbill: Just wondering are you going to have a carry-along? If so please go ahead and give me a short character bio about him. I would really appreciate it if you would have a carry-along.

I had not planed on getting a carry along. Unless it was some form of miniature Balrog... I'd rather just stick to the one character for now, I'm still getting used to the whole RPG world. I'm not going to be very adventurous for a while.

3.) Have you posted in The Green Dragon Inn – YES
_______________________________________


For your character please include:

NAME: Melen

AGE: 458

RACE: Elf

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Long bow, long sword (called Remil), two sleek daggers.

APPEARANCE: Tall and agile, black hair down till shoulders, a cute youngish face which has a never ceasing smile on it, sleepy eyes and doesn't seem to be that well built.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Happy-go-lucky elf, rarely concerned about the problems of the world or even of his own home. He prefers the finer things in life, like food and drink but whenever theres any hint of a fight he isn't the type to back away. He prefers to use speed and strategy rather than brawn to win his battles. If its a fight in a small enclosed area with not much foot room, it would be unlikely of him emerging as the victor but that doesn't bother him much since he prefers not to think at times. He is still young going by elf standards and often gets himself into rather ridculous situations but thats where he relies on his quick wit to save him unfortunately for him its often strength thats his undoing.

HISTORY: He was the only child of Aldora and Ernaster. His father, Ernaster, died when he was but an infant of seven. His mother raised him with great love and affection. His agility came from the mothers side of his family and his wit and logic from his fathers. He ever really worried about much in life and never really did have much to worry about in the first place. He has never been in any big battle except for the time when he and some of his friends staged a fake battle for their own amusment.

Sleepy Ranger's post

He had been trying as hard as he could to listen to what Tharanduil was saying but his attention kept being drawn away by something. Sounds like there'll be a fight. If there is I don't see why I won't be there. He looks hard at Tharanduil not really concerned about the spiders or anything else for that matter.

I wonder if there will be a feast before we leave or if we just leave right away. His fingers were toying around with the hilt of his sword. Hmmm...Ale...don't mind if I do. He gets himself a mug and drains it in one go. Maybe now I'll pay attention.

He looks at Tharanduil again, trying his best not to scream out that they should meet them head on with a large army. Well whatever happens I'm in. It'll be fun after all. The smile that was always on his face was still there and he seemed a bit more happier than usual, the thought of going into a real battle was rather exciting for him.

EDIT by Pio, game moderator:

I've set your post up to be easily transferred to the game, Sleepy Ranger.

Also, please note I broke your post into paragaraphs - Shire rules require a minimum of 2 paragraphs per post. You may, of course, edit the post into other paragraph groupings as you wish.

Here are the characters so far:

Mirkwood Elves

Witch_Queen ------------- King Thranduil (7000 yrs)

Hookbill the Goomba ----- Taurthol (1513 yrs)
  • Tâlmor (523yrs) - carry-along character

Boromir88 ----------------- Ercuion (1200 yrs)
  • Nefal (1048 yrs) – carry-along character

Sleepy Ranger ------------- Melen (458 yrs)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Witchie, Hookbill, and Sleepy R -

How about giving yourselves sidekicks to carry along with your characters. No need to go into a long character description -

Just:

NAME

AGE

WEAPONS

AND A VERY SMALL BLURB ON ANY INTERESTING PHYSICAL FEATURES

These are the sorts of characters you can use for dialog if you need it or have them killed etc . . .

EDIT: Thanks, Hookbill ~*~ Pio

NAME- Berkengrond (I doubt you'd have allowed Donkey or Puss in Boots )

AGE- 501

WEAPONS- Crossbow and a broadword

AND A VERY SMALL BLURB ON ANY INTERESTING PHYSICAL FEATURES

Has a rather pointy nose and a curved mouth. His indebted to Melen for saving him from a spider long back when Melen had recieved his first bow. (Melen prefers keeping it secret that he had been aiming at a tree and he accidentaly hit the spider which he hadn't noticed.) Ever since then hes been Melens best friend and the two are rarely seen without each other.

Hope that'll be fine.

Pio,

Being the crazy one I am and since everyone else is having a carry along/ side kick, why not. The only thing is I think I'll be the odd ball. Give me two side kicks.

NAME Uragonia

AGE 1369

WEAPONS: He carries with him always his bow. Only when he is concerned about running out of arrows does he carry his sword (which is always).

AND A VERY SMALL BLURB ON ANY INTERESTING PHYSICAL FEATURES
He has blonde hair, which he got from his mother. Under his left eye is a scar from a sword fight he was in when he was younger and more naive.

Number 2

NAME Runia

AGE 578

WEAPONS: He has his twin swords and is bow. Always attached the his back is an extra quiver of arrows.

AND A VERY SMALL BLURB ON ANY INTERESTING PHYSICAL FEATURES
He has dark hair down to his shoulders. He always keeps it pulled loosely back behind his head. He always fearing that he will loose what hair he has in a battle.



Pio,
I hope this is good enough. I will PM Hama and anyone else I can think of. I will probably have Hama PM me his post (in case he isn't able to put it in). Anyways after Hama posts and any one else that may be interested. I say Monday open the RPG.

Any objections let me know. (This goes for all participants so far).

Everyone: I am really looking foward to getting this started. The sooner Hama posts the sooner the game begins. I hope its as promising as I believe.

<Witch_Queen>

Pio: I will do that. Lets see, I have decided that as the game progresses I will add in some other character, which are insignificant right now, these will be the others that fall or turn back. If there is any objections from you or anyone else, please feel obligated to let me know.

Hookbill, Sleepy, and Boromir: Its good to see that everyone has atleast one "sidekick". Everything is looking good right now. If you have any questions about Thranduil's character let me know. Don't be afraid to ask. After all when this is done with I can't wait to play in a game you have created.

I wish to add another carry-along if nobody minds, this way I can have a few people my character can have discussions with.

NAME: Targon

AGE: 5,682

WEAPONS: A long sword named Grambling. A long ash hunting knife.

INFO:
A Sindarin elf with long blonde hair. He steps into that "father figure/peer" role for Ercuion and Nefal. The worst of the three in Weapon skill, but what he lacks in fighting he makes up with wisdom and his ability to always say the right thing. Targon is a character Ercuion and Nefal often looked up to. Targon's only weakness, besides his fighting, is he's always along that "fence" he is never able to choose sides and is always trying to be the peacemaker.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT

I've put your additional carry-along on the Character List above.

1.) Have you ever played in an RPG at the Barrow Downs? – YES- Which one? Legacy of Traitors, Last Ride of the Heir, Bloodstained Elanor

2.) How many RPG’s on the Barrow Downs are you currently involved in? 1

List them, please: Seekers of Truth

Please note you may play in only 2 (TWO) Shire games at one time. Exceptions to this may be made for this on a case by case basis by the Shire Moderators. (The Green Dragon Inn DOES NOT count as a game for this.)


3.) Have you posted in The Green Dragon Inn – YES
_______________________________________


For your character please include:

NAME: Lossenfirithion, known as Firith to his friends.

AGE: 2000

RACE: Mirkwood Elf, Thranduril's nephew

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Finely detailed elven blade, about a metre long. A bow and quiver of arrows, expertly carved from a yew tree, and two long knives forged from blue steel.

APPEARANCE: Tall, even for his race. Long blond hair falls to about his armpits and he has light grey eyes. Normally wears mirkwood scout attire, a green leather tunic and leggings, leather bracers and a long, hooded cloak. He speaks very poetically and is a great charmer. His jaw is fairly chiseled and he has small lips, often thinning when angry.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Generally Lossenfirithion is kind, but he can be vengeful, and has been known to hold several grudges against humans for many decades, often content at just watching them die of old age while he remains eternally youthful. He is arrogant, being the favoured nephew of thranduril, and is excellent freinds with his cousin Legolas, though not nearly as skilled. He sometimes resents the way Thranduril compares him to his son, but loves his uncle dearly, and becomes furious when any danger is laid upon Thranduril.

HISTORY:

Born in TA 941, Lossenfirithion gew quickly, and soon won his uncles affection over his other nephews. He proved himself to be an excellent fighter and bowman in the scouts and quickly won himself his bride, Nevithhien. He loved and cared for her for years, and still does. He has had three children by her, a son and two daughters. Thranduril recently commended his efforts in a border skirmish with the orcs.

__________________________________


Hama of the Riddermark's post


Lossenfirithion looked around at the elves gathered in the great hall. As Thranduril finished his speech the elves raised their swords in a cheer Firith smiled and raised his, crying out "For Mirkwood!" at the top of his voice. As they began to exit the hall, Thranduril stopped his nephew with a hand on his shoulder. "Nephew, this will be dangerous...I do not want to put you in danger, I do not want to lose you." Firith smiled widely. "And I don't want to lose you, uncle, that's why I'm coming. You don't think I'd let you go off and risk your life without me do you?" Thranduril's face appeared strained. "Firith I love you more than any of my nephews. You are one of the best fighters we have here only-" Firith cut him off, "Not as good Legolas." he finished his uncles sentance. Thranduril smiled warmly as a small tear trickled down his cheek. "In some ways, Firith, you are as good as Legolas, and in others better than him...Its not fair to compare yourself to him all the time. Legolas, as my heir, needs to stay here and keep order while we are gone. He cannot come. Yes...Firith I need you with me on this." Firith smiled and patted his uncles shoulder, "I'll go and get ready."

Back in his room Firith pulled his leather tunic over his shirt and buckled it. He looked at himself in a mirror, a gift from his uncle. He smiled again. Yes, in some ways he was better than Legolas, but not in many. This was enough to comfort him as he tied his bracers onto his arms. He drew his sword and balanced it on his finger, throwing it up and catching it by the hilt, then swiping at a dummy he kept there. The head flew off, covering the floor with straw. Sheathing his sword he picked his bow and arrows off the wall and slung them onto his back, going back to the great hall to join the others...

Carry Along

NAME: Dolendelothion, Lossenfirithion's son

AGE: 600

WEAPONS: Two long knives and a bow and arrow. A metre long elven blade identical to his fathers hangs at his side.

INFO:

He is nearly as tall as his father, and aspires to be like him in every way. His great uncle, Thranduril, often gives him presents, eager to train him up fast. He has long blond hair and an angular face. He is not arrogant, but eager to learn and skillful with his weapons. Although he has only just become a scout he is already an expert marksman, although his combat skills leave something to be desired. Firith loves him even more than he loves his uncle, and would sacrifice his life to keep him alive.

Thranduil's response after the meeting: POSTED TO GAME ~*~ Pio

Thranduil was surprised that so many had volunteered. He figured that his nephew would but didn't know about the others. He returned to his home to look Legolas in the eyes and explain to him once again why he wasn't allowed to go with his father. Thranduil could only trust Legolas to take care of the people while he was gone. Legolas is young and has yet to see as much as me. Once he has seen everything life has to give him perhaps then he will not be so quick to volunteer for things.

Thranduil opened the door to his home, his wife and son stood there staring him in the eyes. "Legolas, don't look at me like that. You know I can only trust you. If I was to leave your mother in control, who knows what would happen." He looked at his wife. A smiled formed on both their faces. Everything was going to be fine. "As a matter of fact your cousin is going to make sure I don't do anything rational." Legolas turned his head. "Lossenfirithion?" Thranduil was suprised that his son knew which one. "Yes, Lossenfirithion. I know we can both trust him with our lives. If it wasn't for you staying behind, I would have to make him stay. I fear that when I leave everything will turn to chaos. We must not be saying that."

Thranduil pulled his wife close to him and kissed her on the cheek. "My dear you must be strong for both of us. Remember that if anything was to happen to me I want you to continue remembering me for what I am and was. We both know nothing will happen to me. After all I am ruler of these lands." Thranduil laughed so loud that it made the halls in his house shake. "Come now, whats for dinner, I am hungry now after the meeting. Plus it is only two days time until I have to depart from my home and the ones I love." Walking over to the table, Thranduil, his son, and his wife sat down to enjoy what seemed like the last meal they would ever have together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone: After this the time frame will jump ahead by two days.

<Witchy>
