I've brought us to within 10 miles of the eastern gate - it is late afternoon gametime. The group is going to stop and spend the night at the quarters of one of the Hardhammer's uncles.

If you wish, you can get us through the night and then onto the Eastern gates (which are most likely closed and guards posted within. Since Tolkien never describes what they look like in their glory - feel free to talk about the great cavern that lies before them (yeah, I just made that up!

). It must be wonderfully wrought as are the inside of the great doors.

Have fun!

I've left it open for you to meet up with us at some time in the morning (gametime) at the East gates.

About Thursday -

We'll take the battle slowly - so there should be plenty of time for you to post. We'll gently carry Uncle Orin and his companions with us while you're gone.

Thank you, Pio, and I did make the changes concerning your companions. Here are the adjustments...

Quote:

When Orin and his companions had walked in Riv and five other dwarves were still busily getting things together.

Quote:

"Good, glad to have you lads." said Riv. "This is Afi, Brand, and Dari. Plus their apprentices Egil and Odi."

"Ahh, Afi, Brand, and Dari, huh? I know your father well. Glad to have you."

Thanks, Boro!

Drive carefully!

It's Monday here where I am, real-time. In a couple of days, say Wednesday real-time, can you have the Elves of Lorien entering the Nanduhirion Valley & come to the southern edge of the Mirrormere.

The Dwarves will meet you there.

Once we've gotten together, then the Orcs can attack.

Thanks!

Whoops! Aplogies Firefoot it was indeed supposed to be Grimkul. I'll pop that in.

Firefoot · 08-01-2005, 05:22 PM

So we will be attacking the Elves and Dwarves once they've met? Earlier in the thread, there had been a comment about whether it would be this or if the Orcs attacked the Elves, then the Dwarves rushed out to their aid. We (Encai, Kath, and myself) had done some PM'ing before we posted; I think we tended to favor the latter. I could go either way, but I just want to make sure I know what we're doing.

Kath - okay, that's what I thought. I'll have a post up shortly.

Folwren · 08-01-2005, 06:43 PM

Think I'd better let you all know, I'm going to be gone from Saturday, August 6th to Sunday, August 14...I might, just might be able to get on and catch up Sunday evening, but I have no idea when we're returning home. Probably won't be able to get a post up until the 15th.

I will be able to write and do stuff until then, however.

During that time, you other dwarves (Arry, Pio, and Boromir) will be able to use my character as a carry along...I'll warrant that Arry will be doing most with him, but things may change by then.

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

Arry, I'll take your offer and take the dwarves to the gates, I guess. I'll get that post up later tonight, probably. I really like your post.

How about this:

The southern end of the Mirrormere is about 5 miles south of the Eastern Gate.

Why don't the Orcs attack the Elves just as they are reaching the southern end of the Mirrormere?

We Dwarves, can be hurrying south down the path along the lake's western edge to meet the Elves and guide them up to the gate when we see them being set upon.

Will this be alright?

Arry · 08-04-2005, 06:48 PM

I will be away tomorrow (Friday) through Sunday, so will not be able to post then.

Will be back on line Monday.
