SAVE filled

Wulfhamers

Feel free to suggest modifications to Brand's hasty plan. :)

Folwren 03-18-2006 04:55 PM

Save filled.

I don't know what Athwen's going to do during all this ambushing stuff. Brand said she could be part of a decoy part. . .but that'll have to be explained.

-- Folwren

Nogrod 03-18-2006 06:31 PM

Undómë and Skywalker

Just had time to pop in. Please take Sythric with you and proceed. I'll be quite busy for a two- three days from now on...

Looking very promising otherwise. Nice meeting to come... :D

Valier 03-18-2006 11:26 PM

I am hoping to get a post up tonight or tomorrow afternoon at the latest. I can get us into postion for our ambush. Arry do you want us to use force and tie them up or should we just surround them and threaten them with our weapons? I think after we are into position and hiding either Folwren or Telvido can post their decoy post then perhaps you Arry can get the ball rolling for us to finally meet the others.

Arry 03-19-2006 12:05 AM

Tie them up! Otherwise, how are we to know they aren't Easterlings - since we know Easterlings are Men but none of us have actually ever seen one. Also, thinking they are Easterlings, we'll want to question them about if there are anymore coming along. That's most likely when we'll find out we've made a rather bad mistake . . . :eek: :D

Brand'll net one of them and bop him on the head; Incana should be able to knock one of them off their horse with her rock thrower. Vaenosa needs to be careful if she's using her bow that she doesn't actually mortally injure one of them or their horses.

I've put up a SAVE for Brand to fill Athwen in about what's happening.

Then go ahead, Valier and get us three into position.

Hopefully Folwren can get the other three heading away from the camp as decoys once you've posted, Valier. Go ahead and carry Dorran and Leod with you, Folwren - Tevildo is busy in RL and may have less if any time to post in the next few days.

Naria 03-19-2006 12:35 AM

Err, umm...I thought that there was only the two men that were coming towards us. I think I may be a tad confused, or delirious....Vaenosa is shooting one with an arrow, Incana is knocking one off of their horse with rocks and Brand is netting one. How does this all happen with the three of us and only two of them?

Arry 03-19-2006 01:30 AM

No, there not 3 men . . . Brand will throw his net at one of the two and rush in to give him a whack with his club. Incana will be across from Brand and try to take down the other with her rock thrower. Vaenosa will be shooting at whichever one of them she thinks needs a little more encouragement to stay "captured".

Or if you wish, Brand will step back and be the back up -- whatever you decide is fine with me.

Farael 03-19-2006 02:25 AM

Don't want to die so soon!!
 
I'm not sure if Vaenosa should shoot at anyone... if one is clubbed he'll be down but whoever gets thrown off the horse might try to fight... then Vaenosa should appear and threaten him rather than shoot at him... any kind of wounds with an arrow will either be a flesh wound (that won't slow anyone down, not when he/she is being attacked) or a rather bad wound.... and a pierced limb will slow you down MUCH more than what hollywood would like you to think.=P

Anyway, Maeggaladiel, who would you like to be? the one to be trapped or the one to be thrown off with a rock and then threatened? I don't mind either way (what a lovely choice I'm giving you, eh?)

Arry 03-19-2006 02:56 AM

Whatever Valier, Naria, Farael, and Maeggaladiel want to work out is fine with me.

Valier 03-19-2006 12:21 PM

Ok I promise I won't shoot anyone...but I can't promise Vaenosa will be gentle. I think she would treaten from afar with the bow, then she would like to use her new blade (machette), to be intimidating close up. I shall get us ready today. BREGOS: any idea who is to be ambushed by who yet? I would like to include some aspects of how you look so I would like it if you could give me a short description of what you are wearing and such. If not I can do my post without, I thought I could get us to the point when the two "strangers" see Athwen and Leod to us the ambushers surrounding and club/ netting them. Should we strike first then ask questions later? What about the other riders from Brego? Would they come upon us, with their friends tied up or what?

Alright, first of all Valier, feel free to be as intimidating as you please =) Just don't shoot me.

Second, I can't even recall Osmod's exact description, go up to the character sheet on the first page of this thread and you'll find it. I'm waiting on Maeggaladiel to know who will be ambushed by whom....

Undómë 03-19-2006 01:34 PM

I thought maybe the other Bregos can come up to the scene after it's been sorted out a little - after the captured 2 Bregos make it clear they're not soldiers of the Dark Lord.

I don't think our whole group should get into a pitched battle with the Wulfham group.

~ U

Valier 03-19-2006 02:15 PM

Sounds good! I also wanted to know if I should just get our group ready to ambush or should I go ahead and do a post up to us having captured them(bregos) and questioning? I will wait awhile before I post in case anyone objects. I would really like to get the ball rolling again today.

Arry 03-19-2006 02:23 PM

I wouldn't mind if you posted us capturing/tying them.

However - Farael, Maegg, do you want to try to fight back?

Valier - you could also begin the questioning - but give Naria and me a chance to ask a few questions, and a chance for the Bregos to say something in their defense.

Undome & Eowyn you can come in after we've untied them.

& Folwren after Brand gives a loud whistle can you bring back your group?

How does that sound to everyone?

Farael 03-19-2006 02:34 PM

I know Osmod will try to struggle, unless he's the netted/knocked out one. Of course, he won't be stupid enough as to fight three or four people by himself, so it shouldn't be a real struggle, maybe some desperated attempt at freeing himself but nothing more.

Arry 03-19-2006 02:47 PM

So, Valier -

Can you write up to where the Wulfhamers have just ambushed the 2 Bregos - then let Farael write a post where he puts up a struggle, but is subdued and tied up.

Then you (Valier) can start the questioning . . .

How does that sound?

Folwren 03-19-2006 03:15 PM

Do you all need a decoy group post before the ambush actually takes place?

I can come back when Brand whistles, yeah. :)

-- Folwren

Valier 03-19-2006 04:03 PM

Ok I can post up till then ok FARAEL you will be the netted one? MAGG you shall be the unfortunate unconcious one.

I will have Brand and Incana hiding to the left of the camp,Vaenosa and Dorran to the right. Brand with a net for Osmond and Incana a stone to Fionns noggin.I shall post the decoys fleeing then Vaenosa and Dorran will emerge and threaten while the two on the left will incapasitate the brego's riders. I will leave it with a threatening question from Vaenosa leaving the floor open for everyone to respond to the situation...................Sound good?


EDit: I just read the thread over and I made a mistake there is just Vaenosa, Brand and Incana pulling the ambush. I shall keep that in mind. Brand can net Osmond then Incana can let loose a stone.

SHALL I GO AHEAD AND POST???????????

Folwren 03-19-2006 05:44 PM

If I were the boss, I'd say go ahead and post. :D

-- Folwren

Farael 03-19-2006 06:01 PM

If you have it ready, what are you waiting for?! =P Go ahead Vaenosa, I think this is what we've all been waiting for.

Maeggaladiel 03-19-2006 06:41 PM

Okay, being unconscious is fine with me. ;)

I agree with Farael: Go ahead and post.

Arry 03-19-2006 07:29 PM

Sounds good, Valier! Go for it!!

Valier 03-19-2006 07:47 PM

I HAVE NOW POSTED!!! PLEASE READ IT AND LET ME KNOW IF I SHOULD MAKE SOME CHANGES. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ADDING OR OMITTING CONTENT OF IT. I HAD A BIT OF WRITERS BLOCK AND COULD NOT BE MORE DESCRIPTIVE. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS SO I CAN MAKE IT BETTER....LET ME KNOW!:D :D

Farael 03-19-2006 08:45 PM

I THINK YOU LEFT THE CAPSLOCK ON VALIER!!!! OR MAYBE YOU ARE JUST FAR TOO EXCITED!!!!

Anyway, good post =) just one comment

Quote:

At the moment they turned Brand was out of hiding and gave the net a heavy heave, it landed over the man that shouted with ease
I realized that "the man that shouted" was Osmod, but it's a little bit confusing.... maybe you would like to change it to something else? maybe "the leader of the two" or "the one who seemed to be in the lead".... or even "the man who had shouted before". From how it's written right now, it looks to me as if it said that the net landed over the man that could shout easily.

Other than that, awesome!! and nice to meet you, expect Osmod to be mightly upset.

Valier 03-19-2006 08:51 PM

Ok so I was a little excited!!!:p Thanks about that I edited it, it totally made no sense! Hope I did you other Wulfhamers justice with the way I portrayed your characters. :D

Folwren 03-19-2006 09:24 PM

Hehehehehe. This is all veeerrry humorous, even if it is a might uncomfortable.

Anyhow, I stuck up a save. They're going to come back, and Athwen's a mighty soft sort of person, in her way. There's no telling how she's going to take Vaenosa's treatment of these poor, helpless men. No tellin' indeed! We'll see.

-- Folwren

Naria 03-20-2006 10:08 AM

Wow, great post Valier!! :D

I will get my post up soon. I think Incana is going to be a wee bit overwhelmed at what Vaenosa is doing and really scared too.

Nogrod 03-20-2006 01:05 PM

Great stuff, people!

This is looking like a lot of fun!

We last Bregos will be there in a moment. I made a save for us to approach (to get going forwards anyhow), but actually not probably noting anything yet - as nothing has kind of happened, but the ambush... (Nice one, Valier!)

Maeggaladiel 03-20-2006 01:27 PM

Hehehehe! That was very good, Valier! Me likey!


Poor Fionn. It's just one humiliation after another. ;)

Folwren 03-20-2006 02:00 PM

It's not too humiliating to get knocked out with a rock in the middle of your head. Depend upon it - if it were your younger siblings you were dealing with, yo'ud be a hero for the bump that he's going to have alone!

-- Folwren

Nogrod 03-20-2006 02:36 PM

Rest of the Bregos

I filled my save and took the liberty of Raed. agreeing in the basic scouting tactics with Sythric. If you Undómë think, that Raed. would think otherwise, please let me know, and I'll change it. But this would seem natural and wise, at least for me.

Don't worry about it! I sometimes thing Vaenosa should be singing in her head *noboby likes me every body hates me, think I'll go eat some worms....*

Eowyn Skywalker 03-20-2006 11:42 PM

Vaenosa and Eostre should get along WONDERFULLY, then. (snickers) Both of them think everyone hates them, and hate everyone else. Well... no... Eostre actually quite likes Sythric and Fion(n), but isn't about to let anyone notice THAT.

Stupid characters. (bounces on them) The ambush was amusing. Don't worry, Fionn, those of us about to write salute you!

Hehehe! Oh, I don't worry about it: It amuses me to no end.

Folwren 03-21-2006 09:06 AM

Where's Farael? I don't want to fill in my save until he does. . .I was expecting his to be filled at least by now.

Sorry!! I'm on it.... but i need to finish a flowchart for my chem. lab first.... yet you can post after me, that's the point of leaving a save... of course, if you rather wait I don't mind.

Farael 03-21-2006 11:31 AM

Double posting!!
 
Ok, save is up and Osmod is pretty upset.... let's hope Vaenosa does not take the spit too personal =D

Folwren 03-21-2006 11:50 AM

Oh, good. Glad to see you back. :) Maybe Athwen can intercede for you, depending on what happened. (I haven't gone over and read it yet.)

EDIT: Save filled.
