We're gonna break in today. Get those swords ready, because Angmar is going down ;)


This is my 1300th post! Wowzers!

Hama Of The Riddermark 07-24-2004 10:36 AM

Woo...I'm back from Scotland!

The Perky Ent 07-24-2004 10:54 AM

Scotland? Nice. Personally, I like Ireland better, but that's probably because I'm Irish. Anyways, yeah, now that you're back, get some posts in. They can be about basically anything between finding Angmar, looking inside, and going down a long stair. The elf's have gone down too, because they want adventure also, but the men haven't found them yet. The stairs are very long, so don't rush yourself ;) Welcome back Hama!

The Perky Ent 07-24-2004 09:20 PM

PwtP Alert!

Hama, I read your post, and my PwtP (problem with the post) alarm went off. Firstly, Arathorn is carrying a torch, so there is light to see close to you, but not enough to see the entire place. You could use a torch if you wanted, but it's not necessary. In fact, it could blow our cover. Second, the elves are being careful by staying behind so as not to be noticed, so Elrohir can't poke you. Thirdly, the arrow attack? Is that suppost to be Elrohir making fun of him, or do you thing there actually is an orc firing, because until we reach the bottom, we go un-noticed; and Elrohir wouldn't shoot a companion! So, fix the poking and the arrow. They don't find us, we find them Sorry about that, but we have to stick to the guidelines.

Hama Of The Riddermark 07-25-2004 03:56 AM

K...

astarielle 07-25-2004 04:05 AM

*is back* I came to the conclusion when i was walking that the fellowship couldn't have walked all that way with a full 80 litre rucksack. Anyway, i'm back and enjoyed myself despite not having access to computers. ;)

The Perky Ent 07-25-2004 09:43 AM

lol Welcome back!

The Perky Ent 07-25-2004 11:57 AM

1,400th post!!!
 
Hama, thanks for the edit. Astarielle nice post. If the people who can can get a post in, we can get to the fighting :D so, we're still going down into the Dungeons of Carn Dum, where much evil awaits. You'll soon find that light won't stop them. It didn't stop them with the horses. Bum Bum Bumm *wacky foreshadowing*



Edit: This is my 1,400th post! Wow! That was fast! Woah!

Saraphim 07-26-2004 12:51 AM

*Collapses into computer chair in exhaustion* I'm back too. And despite my three weeks on the road, I'm ready to attack Angmar!

astarielle 07-26-2004 05:48 AM

if you hadn't guessed i like describing places like that! Can you just clarify this please; in the plan for Angmar we had the Elves going up, now they're going down....how will this affect the plan?

The Perky Ent 07-26-2004 10:00 AM

They're all comming back ;)
 
Welcome back Saraphim! I'm glad now that you're getting back to LRotH! astarielle, the orginal plan was for the men to search the dungeons, where all the excitment was, and the elves to search the towers, where the isn't any excitement. Since the elves wanted adventure, they went back down. When the men find trouble and go running up, they'll bump into the elves. They'll be angry, but will sympothize!

The Perky Ent 07-27-2004 05:07 PM

Saraphim, astarielle, ArwenBaggins, Hama, Phervasaion, and Eowyn: The battle will soon start. Tomorrow, it will happen. The first person to go will be Will Witfoot's character, Eldin. I have a death in mind. Here's a hint. The canal was foreshadowing ;) Anyways, after that, since we need to get going, there is a death order. Phervasaion, unless you want your character to live, your character will die after Eldin. You can deside your death based on the events happening. Saraphim and Astarielle, you are immune to death, as you must survive. However, that doesn't mean you can't get scratched ;) Hama and Eowyn, your characters will die with Arathorn, in a heroic post. The way your death posts will work is: The first part is us getting out and being surrounded. Then, I'll insert your death posts into mine, and then Arathorn will do his death. After that, the post will be about Elladan and Elrohir returning to Elrond, giving him a letter from Arathorn that I will give them. After the letter, the game is over. If anyone doesn't read the thread before your death, I will kill you. Just in case you don't check, I'll be Pm-ing all of you about this. Just getting ready for the end :D


- Perky

The Perky Ent 07-28-2004 09:23 AM

Today, we find them and, also today, Eldin dies. Very sad, but true. Leaving only two elves left. After I post, you'll be able to tell what you can post about.

Hama Of The Riddermark 07-28-2004 10:18 AM

K, if poss can i put my own death post up? I have some cool tearjerkers ready for it...

The Perky Ent 07-28-2004 10:25 AM

Ok, then we'll follow the same plan as before: We'll get surrounded. You post your death. Eowyn does Hanindur's death, then I do my death and end the game.


Edit: This is my 1,500th post! Wow!

The Perky Ent 07-28-2004 02:23 PM

Well, Eldin is dead. We've escaped down a canal, down a waterfall, into a giant dome like room. The lighting is in the center, where the lake is, and where we are. For now, we're going to rest, and Arathorn will do some plot work. Then, we will find a big secret. Here's a hint: Big rooms for big things ;)

Eowyn Skywalker 07-28-2004 04:26 PM

Great, I get to do a dramatic death segment-- sorry about not being here-- how was I suppose to know that I would have limited computer time while my mom was at camp?! Sigh... I'll get a post up though, and try to catch up again... sigh.

You asked earlier what happened to my old avatar: well, due to confusion as to what I looked like, I changed it to one of me, actually. I'll be changing it back to an Eowyn with lightsaber one soon, however.

Off to post-- never thought I'd have to kill Hanindur-- *cries*

-Eowyn Skywalker

The Perky Ent 07-28-2004 08:16 PM

It's ok! Welcome back! BTW, nice avatar! Maybe you should change your name to Dernhelm Skywalker ;)

Saraphim 07-29-2004 05:54 PM

Ok, I got my post up. I tried not to make the twins too happy so soon after Eldin's death, but I may have failed there.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to the last battle!

The Perky Ent 07-29-2004 06:23 PM

Last Battle? No, the journey doesn't end there ;) We've got a lot more in store! Anyways, on the 1'st, we wake it up! That's where your character dies, Phervasaion! On the fifth, we find more orcs and are surrounded, and we escape. Then, on the ninth, FINAL POSTS MUST BE POSTED!!!!!!! On the 8th, I'll do the setup, then the twins will write posts looking at us and running back to Rivendell, Hanindur and Owacyn will both die, and Arathorn will die. On the 10, the last day, I will write the final post and end the game! It's almost over, but that doesn't mean we still can't have fun! Let's get some good posts in, people!

The Perky Ent 07-29-2004 06:31 PM

Saraphim, also a quick reminder! There's actually 6 of us, not 5. Arathorn, Owacyn, Hanindur, Paladir, Elladan, and Elrohir! Phervasaion has been hiding, but is still here!

Eowyn Skywalker 07-29-2004 10:30 PM

I'm not going to be here on the 9th-- Hanindur will have to die after I get home from church on the 8th... heh. So brutal, I am!

Dernhelm Skywalker? Not as catchy, plus we can't change our names, remember? Maybe Darth Dernhelm, snrk. No, Eowyn Skywalker I be forever more! *snickers*

This isn't the last battle? Heh... well, not EXACTLY... not for you, Serephim, your character LIVES!

-Eowyn Skywalker

The Perky Ent 07-30-2004 10:56 AM

Ok Eowyn. On the 8th, I'll set it up. You can die then, Hama can die on the ninth. Saraphim and astarielle, you write your posts looking at the three men on the ninth. I end it on the tenth!


BTW, Dernhelm Solo ;)

Saraphim 07-30-2004 11:36 AM

OK, I edited my post. Sorry about that, Perky.

It seems I was more than confused about that, and I'm glad to hear that there are more battles.:D

The Perky Ent 07-30-2004 03:42 PM

It's ok. It's like I always say: There's three kinds of people in this world: People who can count, and people you can't!

And yes, there are about 3 more battles!

astarielle 07-31-2004 06:15 AM

"Houston we have a problem" I'm away on the 8th...i may be back in time to put a post up on the 9th, if not it is it okay if i do one early on the 10th (early as in GMT - early).

The Perky Ent 07-31-2004 11:07 AM

yeah, so long as you get one in.

The Perky Ent 07-31-2004 12:46 PM

On the 1st, we discover the Fell Beast. Phervasaion hasn't logged on since the 21st, but I'm going to give him some grace. If he doesn't post by the 3rd, I'll have to kill him off myself. Just a quick note for fighting the Fell Beast:
  • Don't kill the Fell Beast. I have it set up so Phervasaion has a heroic death
  • No one hit kills, elves ;) Fell Beast are strong. A couple of arrows won't kill it
  • The only safe place is the water. Other than the lake, we are vounerable
  • You can get hurt by a Fell Beast without dying. For example: Owacyn can charge at the Fell Beast, but get captured. Then, Elladan fires an arrow, which makes the Fell Beast release him, dropping him into the water. That is just an example
  • Last Rule: Have fun!

1,600 posts today! Only 400 to go ;)

astarielle 08-01-2004 09:40 AM

change of plan, i'm not going away after all. YAY! =D

The Perky Ent 08-01-2004 12:06 PM

Yay :D Sorry, I couldn't help it. Anyways, today, I'll write the post where we find the fell beast, the fighting with the fell beast will be over by the third, and we'll be fighting more orcs by the fifth. Any questions? No? Then move out!

The Perky Ent 08-01-2004 06:29 PM

Well, I didn't have time for much fighting, I'll save it for later. But the fell beast is yours for the taking! What are you waiting for? Get posting ;)

Phervasaion 08-02-2004 09:02 AM

Dont kill Paladir just yet!! im gonna do that myself, and once again please accept appologies for not posting but im definately gonna put up a final one.

The Perky Ent 08-02-2004 11:13 AM

Ok. Make sure you check your pms! I replied to you important information!

Phervasaion 08-03-2004 02:19 PM

My post is almost finished now, i just need to sort out the ending, so if any of you want to post about the battle with the fell beast then get typing quickly!

The battle with the fell beast will be my 300th post!! I'll catch up with you soon Perky :D .

The Perky Ent 08-03-2004 04:38 PM

Phervasaion, check your Pms concerning Bushido

The Perky Ent 08-04-2004 10:13 AM

Today is your last day to get in a fight scene with the Fell beast!!!

The Perky Ent 08-04-2004 01:15 PM

The fell beast is dead. There's not a large hole in the wall. That is our exit. I suggest we use it post haste. I'll set up our second to last battle tomorrow. Then we can get cracking. If you wanted to put in more about the fell beast, you can post "flashback posts", in which you remember the fighting you did.

The Perky Ent 08-05-2004 01:49 PM

There's a small group of orcs guarding our entrance. Make them pay! :mad:


Mwa ha ha ah! MWA HA HA :eek: (Gasp) (choke) (wheeze) I'm ok :cool:

The Perky Ent 08-05-2004 09:48 PM

Eowyn, you didn't have to stop there. You could have gone through all the way and killed them off. They die tomorrow. If anyone wants to kill them off, be my guest. But make sure whoever does it, they write that they see the torches of orcs from the stairs. It's important quick forshadowing!

The Perky Ent 08-06-2004 11:00 AM

astarielle, good job killing them off. Now, here's what's gonna happen. I'm going to write a post about Arathorn, Owacyn and Hanindur finding things to block the entrance. The two elves will fire arrows at waves of orcs running up the stairs. By the 8th, we're out, and we'll set up the climactic end. Start working on your final post now. Trust me. Also, it probably doesn't help, but I made a little map of Carn Dum here: http://uploader.sutherns.com/images/CarnDum.jpg

Let me know if it helps!
