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...

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 . . .

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.

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

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.
