Vacation time is over, much to my relief, and so I will be back posting. As you might have noticed, while on vacation, I had less access to a computer than expected. Thank you for dragging Jordo along for me in my neglect of him...

Forgive me, it was not of my intent!

Hey! My computer is finally purged of viruses and reformatted, so i once again have internet access. I will try to fill in both remaining saves today, and then post regularly. I have a lot of reading to do.

Welcome back Himaran. I well know the agony of a virusy computer

And welcome back also to Durelin. I hope you enjoyed your vacation despite the shocking lack of computer access.

See you in about a week Aman *sob*

Mayphap you will post a few lines on the game thread before aband. . .erm. . .absenting yourself for a while?

*gentle nudge*

That was for everyone else. Shelob's here, large as life and twice as nasty. Don't be afraid to get in there and mix things up a bit with her.

Twice as nasty as life? Dear me, now that is nasty...

Ah, you are a hard taskmaster, Fordim - I posted but three days ago! Slavemaster!

Joking, joking - I intended to post again before I went, if possible. Is there any particular way in which you want us to go about it?

Kransha · 07-23-2004, 07:54 PM

Oy.

Alrighty, I have a post up, and its quite a post (not blowing my own horn here, simply relating length, though I do have a very big horn to blow if I truly wanted to, on loan from the Hornburg). I now it's lengthy, but must be read, for it holds some crucial points that must be looked to.

I controlled Raeis, Zurumor, Dwali, Dorim, and, of course, Bror. Inform me of any and all errors posthaste. Dorim has been...well, to put it simply, put out. He's still kicking, but very barely, and I doubt medicine can save him. This is all per Fordim's request, so worry not. Bror, on the other hand, is also in a near-death state, but saveable. The floor is open to anyone, and that means anyone who wants to jump in.

Anybody who decides to a) go up against the now very annoyed spider, b) grab Bror and run off, or c) grab Bror and Dorim may. If someone hauls Bror to safety but not Dorim, that's fine, since Dorim is mortally injured and unconscious, thus on death's door, but it would be a heartless endeavor, and Bror would sure be mad when he woke up. Of course, half the escapees are heartless, and Bror would be too, but perhaps those bonds of rivalry have been broken. Have the chains of segregation truly been shattered?

I love suspense.

Well, I have made my post. It's rather late, so I might not be 'all there', so please forgive any mistakes I made, and I will edit them out as soon as possible.

My plan for Shelob has unfolded, and I have succeeded in not only tearing apart her legs, but enraging her beyond belief. So when she comes a calling soon, beware.

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 10:48 PM

Yes, Dorim is inches from seeing the light. I wish I could continue, but I can't. But this put's things into perspective. This isn't one of those stories where a small band of inexperienced travelers conquer extreme evil. It's not like the hobbits would have made it all the way without the rest of the fellowship. My mortal injury shows that Shelob still has some spunk
