The Fellowship of the Fourth Age (Part 1): A New Beginning Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Child of the 7th Age · 08-12-2006, 06:49 PM

Thanks, Pio. Looking good.

My own save is filled. Imak, good fellow that he is, has inadvertently assisted the fellowship rescue by sending five scouts to block anyone who might ride out from the slave camp. Five less bodies to deal with, plus there is "socializing" going on amongst Imak's men. They will keep their wits about them but their guard has definitely been lowered.

Nogrod · 08-12-2006, 06:58 PM

Should any of this buzzing be seen by Hadith as he is guarding the slave camp at the top of the highest hill around to the east of the camp, something like a mile away from the camp of the refugees?

Who would he see first? The FS and the captive-children?

Brinniel · 08-13-2006, 10:10 PM

Sorry I haven't written for some time. I've been trying to brainstorm something up.

Shae is bored and becoming rather impatient watching the others sleep. Fed up with Khamir and following his orders, she has a strong urge to abandon the camp and perhaps find a way to rescue the children on her own. Little does she know, there are more than just slavers beyond the camp....

I don't know.....it was just an idea. I wanted approval before I put this thought into action.

Child of the 7th Age · 08-14-2006, 01:15 AM

Brinniel - An interesting idea! I'd normally wait for Durelin to give her approval for this plot twist, since it involves the slaves. However, since she may not be online till Thursday, I would say go ahead and give started on it before then. It will be Khamir's "welcome back" present--another headache for him to deal with.

Of course, I am assuming you will be stopped on the outskirts of camp by the presence of Imak's riders. I would not have a problem if you and/or some other slaves managed to take out a rider or two. I would also not have a problem if you narrowly escape with your life and hightail it back to the slave camp, bringing your tale of woe to the others.

Nogrod -

Please check your pms.

_______________

I hope to get the fellowship to the slavers' camp tomorrow in a narrative post....

Nogrod · 08-14-2006, 11:34 AM

Nice idea Brinniel!

Hadith probably won't be guarding the whole day - or then he could... this has to be thought about (that's relating to the question, whether he would notice the FS coming in the afternoon).

But he could see Shae getting out from the camp in the morning. That would be fine. I'll wait until Brinniel has made her post to react to it somehow.

Regin Hardhammer · 08-16-2006, 02:21 AM

Save filled. Nogrod, Child, Firefoot, or Undomie.....you are welcome to have your orc characters respond.

Sorry this is so late but things are nuts as I am getting ready to leave next week. (Plus I was watching a baseball game that went 18 innings!)

- Regin

Child of the 7th Age · 08-16-2006, 03:58 AM

I am also a laggard. I beg your indulgence. I'm dealing with unavoidable family problems--nothing terrible, just time consuming. I will be home tomorrow waiting for an AC repairman to come so should have time to get that save done then.

Folwren · 08-25-2006, 05:14 PM

I am back and I am sooooooo sorry. There was no inernet access where we were, as you probably noticed. I thought for sure that my brother had inernet, but evidently he only checks his online stuff when he's on campus, as sad thing for me, because we didn't go to campus long enough to sit down and do anything.

But, be that as it may, I am back, and early, at that, so I'll have to make due. I will read everything and will try very hard to start writing posts by Sunday.

-- Folwren

piosenniel · 08-26-2006, 01:48 AM

Hey Child!

SAVE filled . . .

Looking forward to your post

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

I'll be gone from Aug 30 - Sep 3; camping with no internet access.

Folwren · 08-26-2006, 10:52 AM

Um...Pio....you don't really mean August 30th - November 3rd, do you? That's two months. Previous post edited ~*~ Pio

Alright, I am relieved to see that the game has not progressed as much as I was imagining while I was gone. . .there were nights when I laid awake thinking 'Golly . . . I'm going to be so far behind.' But I was wrong.

Tevildo is gone, I see. I think I'll try to post two posts later on today. One for Athwen and another for a quick living-through-the-day post for the two captives. At least, I will for Kwell. Azhar, from what I understand, is not going to be experiencing much. Tevildo said nothing about my carrying his character, so I really don't know what he had in mind for her.

-- Folwren

Thinlómien · 08-27-2006, 03:20 AM

I'm here to say that I'm alive and still interested in this game and in playing with you guys. I'm hopefully joining this game soon. How soon, it depends on two things: when I will be able to get a stable and working net access and when I have read through the RPG well enough and made my character.

Folwren · 08-27-2006, 08:07 PM

I had almost finished a post today but didn't quite make it, so I had to stick up a save. I will be filling it tomorrow morning, hopefully early.

As for a post for Athwen. . .I can't think of a thing to write without consulting Tevildo first, so I'm going to have to wait for his return.

-- Folwren

Brinniel · 08-27-2006, 10:35 PM

Umm...to help keep this RPG moving, I think I'll finally put up Shae's post in the other thread (after all, I did write it some time ago).

If you plan to edit your post, Durelin, just let me know.

Durelin · 08-28-2006, 06:45 AM

Sorry everyone! I've been painting and doing summer schoolwork for the past 4 or 5 days. I'm all finished, though. Well, until I get more work (luckily that shouldn't be for a few more days, and then it shouldn't be heavy work)...

Brinniel - I don't think I'll edit my post. Jumping to the evening works well enough.

Hello, Lommy! I'm so glad you will still be able to join us! Take your time reading through the game; and I do hope you find yourself in a better situation when it comes to net access.

Child of the 7th Age · 08-28-2006, 09:22 AM

Just got back. Will be reading through things and trying to post later tonight.

Lommy - we are glad you'll be joining us!

Hilde Bracegirdle · 08-28-2006, 10:13 AM

I am also back among the living, so to speak. Sorry to have been dormant so long.

Durelin are you planning to write for Vror soon, or shall I get something on board from the hobbit? A post from Carl is long over due, I know, but I didn't want to write if you are already in the middle of a post. I apologize for the confusion and delay of the past few weeks.

Folwren · 08-28-2006, 12:38 PM

Save filled. Sorry about it being later than I expected. School started today, you see.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 08-28-2006, 01:59 PM

Best wishes for a good school year, one and all, students and parents, educators and innocent bystanders alike!

Durelin · 08-28-2006, 03:57 PM

I should have written a post for Vror a long time ago, but I haven't even started on one yet. So if you'd rather write one for Carl, Hilde, that would be quite fine with me. I'm so glad everything's alright again, and I do hope they stay that way.

If you do wish to and are able to write a post, I'll take the opportunity to post to keep something interesting going on in the slave camp before I get my first week's assignment for calculus.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 08-28-2006, 06:54 PM

Thanks, Durelin, I am off to put up a save for Carl so that the action (or interaction) with the fellowship can continue on.

Child of the 7th Age · 08-29-2006, 01:55 PM

I am back from my trip with a bang.

The Dwarf and Hobbit had better get digging.....

piosenniel · 08-29-2006, 02:15 PM

Child

I'll fill in my SAVE after work, most likely. Then tomorrow I'm away to the waters and the wild for 5 days.

Please carry Rôg along as needed.
