Bloodstained Elanor Planning/Discussion Thread

Oro, your PM box is full - please clear some space so I can send you a PM about the matter of Herding and my characters!

EDIT: I have brought in the elves - Let the battle begin!

[Orofaniel]

Sorry Aman. It's emptied now.

I've put up a save in the meantime.

I'm afraid I won't be much online this week. But if you could set up saves for me, it ould be great.

The battle between Thrak and Ambarturion is over. . .I hope satisfactorily to all involved.

I hope that there will still be time for final posts to wrap up the game! I don't want to leave Ambarturion just sitting there with no hand!!

[Kransha]

Ah, at last the villain gets his just desserts. Fordim, (as usual) great post, and that's an understatement. I'm Thrakmazh could kick the bucket with your literary flourish aiding him into the afterlife.

As my character is...erm...dead, this will be my last post. I am going to add a paragraph to my RPG Thread post after Oro has posted, which will contain the now-unfortunately-deceased Thrakmazh contemplated Herding's words and the miserable failure of his wonderful plan. But, that's still irrelevant, since he's dead, and I have a tendency to repeat my self. But, he had a good, or should I say bad, run, and even though he snuffed it in the end, it's reassuring to know that he could still get ahead in life...Get it? Anyone?

Just so you all know, I think this RPG has gone really well, one of my favorites (but I'm biased). I'm going to miss looking at it everytime I have a free moment (also biased in terms of severe exaggeration).

So long, farewell, auf weiderschen, and all that...

Hi.

1. My save is filled.

2. Another post is up. The battle between Koran and Herding has begun. Aman, would you like to end it? If you want to carry it through what we've been discussion it would be great...If you have another twist it's fine too.

If Herding is to be killed, would it be possible to set up a save for me, just beaneath your post? I'll post it on the discussion thread tomorrow morning, and then your or Pio could paste it for me.

Thanks for a great game people. It's been a pleasure.

See you all again soon in another RPG maybe?


Thanks,
Orofaniel

Muahahaha, twists galore, just call me M. Night Shyamalan...

No, I have restricted us to one twist, and one twist only, lol. Oro, I have posted a save for you - if you would like me to edit my post, say so

[Amanaduial the archer]

Pio, could you edit that Oro's post in please? Oro - excellent end to Herding. Ha, good won over evil!...oh wait, Koran's a Southron as well...

Thank you all for the brilliant game - despite the rush at the end, it was consistently a very enjoyable game with some marvellous characters (Ehan, Gromwakh and Snikdul will always be remembered especially in this corner ). Durelin, along with the others who thought up the game especially, I take my hat off to youse all - brilliant.

Thanks.

[Kransha]

One last question. Pio, or anyone in a position to do so, could you remove the little sentance in bold from my last post. I do not believe it can be filled with relevant information before the RPG thread is moved to Elvenhome. Thanks in advance.

[Child of the 7th Age]

Kransha - Sentence in bold removed.

I can't believe I missed the ending! Bloody hurricanes. *kicks Frances* We were out of power for a bit (okay, more than a bit) so... yes, I kind of... was not here. And I wish I had written a post before the hurricanes came. The discussion thread was s'posed to close today, I think, but is it still possible to get in a last post? *doubts that*

[piosenniel]

I'm still waiting for Durelin's last post for the game.

I'll leave this thread open until tomorrow, noon, Pacific Time - get your post on here by then - I'll place it for you - then the game is definitely heading to Elvenhome.

(glad you survived the weather!!)

(thank'ee! but it wasn't that bad up here... just a tree branch or two fell... so all is fine, for now. )

Finished my last post. I hope it fits... I might have mis-read something. I do that a lot.

Well, I better hurry up and post this before I back out and end up re-writing the whole thing..

-----

An elf made eye contact with Urkrásh, methodically choosing his next victim. Urkrásh then charged at the elf, who dodged the orc-blade. Urkrásh's failed attack was counteracted with a graceful hit. Blind with rage, he charged again. All the thoughts of his previous battle, hatred of elves and trees, and duty to serve the Eye, were thrust into his attempt, his last attempt. An attempt that had failed once more. The experienced elf blocked the second attack and thrust his own sword into Urkrásh's side in one smooth motion, too fast for Urkrásh to do anything.

He clenched at his side, his hands and arms soon covered with blood. Falling to his knees and then over on his side, everything went black. All the orc could hear was a faint cry, ‘Southrons, rally to me!’ He acknowledged that the battle had been lost. But in the very back of his mind, he heard a voice. ‘No loyalty, no devotion, no sense of purpose at all. They probably have no aspirations, no hopes, and I don’t blame ‘em. They’ll never get anywhere, not the way they conduct themselves. You and I, on the other hand, orcs like us are different. And, Urkrásh, if you serve with loyalty and show your mettle for the cause, you’d get somewhere, and any of that lot might too if they did so.’ For a moment, he wondered if he had gotten anywhere. If there was more he could have done.

Those thoughts soon died, as Urkrásh did himself. One body of many uruks and some orcs scattered across the battlefield. Never to be remembered, except as one fighting for evil. One who had been killed by an elf that might live on to tell the story of his victory to his friends. One who had been defeated for the side of good.
