Barrow-Downs Birthday Party at the Fields of Cormallen - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rosa_Baggins · 05-20-2002, 11:51 AM

Rosa sat at the long wooden table drinking aleand looking at all the people on the dance floor.
She smiled warmly at the the others and took another glup of her ale.

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 05-20-2002, 11:53 AM

Noticing he was not being watched (for once), the Barrow-Wight shambled quietly toward the keg with a lustful look in his soulless eyes. He had spent a long, lonely Age in his pilfered tomb, and not for centuries had those he had entrapped carried with them anything more than a skin of warm water to quench his endless thirst. Memories flooded back to him of those days when rich noblemen had still foolishly passed his door. They had always, at the very least, had a small barrel of mead or a jug of fine Dorwinion. ‘Very polite of them,’ he thought, as he fingered the diamond ring of one of those victims. It was not quite the right size and it chafed his bony knuckle.

As he neared the keg, he was overcome by a sudden dilemma. Should he have a frosty brew, or should he abduct and sacrifice the obviously tipsy Frodo Baggins?

Oh! The choices we must make!

Frodo Baggins · 05-20-2002, 11:56 AM

Frodo backs away pale and trembling. Look, I am not tipsy, there was a spider in my wine glass, I never had a whole glass yet how can I be tipsy???
Please please don't Hurt me!!!!!!!!!
I'll never be bad again, I'll just go sit and not do anything else for the whole rest of the party all right??

Rosa laughed and pointed to Frodo
"Ah frodos scared of spiders!HAHAHA!"

Sorry, this is really out of place but

Arwen walks in yells HAPPY BIRTHDAY Barrow Downs. Takes half the food and then makes like a tree and leaves!

O.K. I'm done. Continue On! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 05-20-2002, 12:06 PM

The Barrow-Wight realizes his thoughts must have been too obvious. He never was very good at concealing his intentions, especially when the 'cold fire' took over. The poor little hobbit was clearly frightened of him, guessing at his evil thought.

"Never fear, little one," he said with a grimace (the rotted corpse he inhabited was no longer 'smileable'). "I am more thirsty than 'thirsty', if you know what I mean. And I thirst for something cold this evening."

He turned the tap and poured a foaming mug of beer, passing it to Frodo. He filled another and offered a toast.

"To good times and birthdays! May we all have many more."

Rosa_Baggins · 05-20-2002, 12:07 PM

"Awwwwwwww im sorry, love.I couldnt help myself."

Sindacuion · 05-20-2002, 12:09 PM

Sindacuion sits down after the tiring dance with the princess. He wonders what are all the people looking at. He gets through the crowd and notices Barrow Wight staring at the keg and FrodoBaggins. "What on earth is he doing?" He then walks towards the buffet table: out of wine.
As he has filled his glass to the top, Sind looks for someone to talk to. He seeks the fields for company, but finds that everyone is either dancing or trying to take a look of Barrow Wight. "Oh well, I guess I'll get back to my book." He climbs a nearby tree and starts reading his book on one of the branches..

Sindacuion · 05-20-2002, 12:12 PM

Sindacuion fills another glass and lifts it in to the air. "To the Barrow-Downs!" He gulps the wine and heads for the buffet. "I've got the munchies REAL bad!"

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-20-2002, 12:15 PM

Nervously hovering and feeling shy as always, Auriel has arrived at the party's edge. She is clad in her best blood red elf dress and is attempting to hide behind her waist length brownish hair. She has silver rings on every finger of her right hand and as always wears Doc Martens (particulary difficult to get hold of in Middle Earth) she looks around nervously for Starbreeze in case she makes fun of them. She soon sees she has not yet arrived but Piosenniel, Stephanos and Child of the 7th Age and all there and other names she vaguely knows but has never put a face too. She has brought her famous Vegetarian Cheesecake. Quietly she steps across to the dessert table and places it amongst the other delicacies. She stops for a moment to fill a glass of Doctor Pepper but is surprised by it's smell and prefers to give it a miss. She has always been a drinker of pints anyway. Frodo Baggins seems rather distressed and so she decides to sum up the courage to speak to him. He seems a friendly hobbit.

Sindacuion · 05-20-2002, 12:30 PM

Sindacuion starts seeking Estelyn for another dance or maybe another small chat. "Where did that princess go? She should be here somewhere.. Gah!" Sind bumps into Estelyn. "There you are! Sorry!" They agree to head for the buffet table for a drink and maybe some snacks. "You should try the lembas!" Sindacuion pulls out a tree for Estelyn. "Don't sit in the ground, dearest. That doesn't suit royalty." Sind grabs one of the rings on the gift table. "Here, have one more ring. I'm sure Barrow Wight wont mind. Alas! the ring is no match for your ultimate beauty, my dear." After talking about the royal matters, Sind decides to retreat to his tree. "Are you alright if I leave you for a while? I'll come back in a while."

piosenniel · 05-20-2002, 12:33 PM

'Oh my stars and jewels,' thinks piosenniel to herself, as she makes her way toward the banquet tables. 'Look! There's Auriel! And if my eyes don't deceive me, she's brought a vegan cheesecake.'

Grabbing two crystal flutes of miruvor, she offers one to Auriel and glances covetously at the cheesecake. Wanting to seem helpful, but not too apparently ravenous, she offers to cut the cheese cake.

'Oh, it smells delicious - what ever did you put in it? and the texture, it's so creamy, yet sturdy as it stands here on my plate. Now how did that get there? Oh, well, never say an elf will let a good piece of cheesecake go to waste . . .' The last few words of this running monolog were somewhat obscured as the slim fingers of the elf popped a large section of the cheesecake into her mouth and chewed and swallowed with great gusto.

'My goodness!,' thought Auriel bemusedly to herself. 'Who'd have thought such a delicately small face could open that wide to accomodate such a large treat!'

'Umm, thanks! & your welcome, piosenniel! By all means, help yourself!'

Sipping daintily on her miruvor, Auriel thought to herself, 'I knew I should have brought 2!!'

Rosa_Baggins · 05-20-2002, 12:41 PM

Rosa sits down on the bench with 5 empty mugs next her on the table.She smiled and takes another swing of ale as she looks at the dancers falling over each other on the dance floor.
Rosa walked over to the keg and filled up another mug of ale.
"Urghhhhhhhh.I dont feel so good."Rosa frowned as she put down her mug and sat down again.
"Mental note: dont drink to much next time."

[ May 20, 2002: Message edited by: Rosa_Baggins ]

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-20-2002, 12:43 PM

Auriel feels a lot less nervous now Piosenniel has come over and is delighted her cheesecake has a fan.

"Is there anything else you'd recommend?" she asks. "I think the Dr Pepper's spiked but I can see so many things here I've never tried. Everyone seems to be gathering by the black tent. Should we go over there too?"

Piosenniel has surreptiously consumed another slice and is unable to answer at present. The hobbits have begun dancing again and despite her reserve Auriel taps her foot and begins to smile. Above her someone is humming to himself in a tree.

Child of the 7th Age · 05-20-2002, 12:49 PM

Kuruharan, you nasty Shade. Get your greedy hands off my platter of mushrooms! Glares nastily.

Then discovers that a dead spider has been flung across the room and, by chance, landed in the middle of her plate.

Twenty yards, my hairy foot. More like forty. And it may not have hit some person, but it did hit my plate!

Hey, WHO did that? Sees Frodo cowering in the corner.

Ah, ha! It's just a crazy Baggins. What else do you expect?

Shakes head in bewilderment.

Rosa_Baggins · 05-20-2002, 12:51 PM

Rosa staggered over to a tree and sat down on the grass leaning he back on the tree trunk.
Rosa's face turned green and her frown deeped
"Urghhhhhh!"She moaned as she clutched her stomach and head.

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-20-2002, 12:55 PM

Auriel is standing just behind Child of the 7th Age when the spider lands and panics. "I hope that's not one of Shelob's children. She wont' be pleased and we don't want her gatecrashing and wanting revenge." Luckily as usual her words a little more than a whisper and no one notices them. All the same she is regretting not bringing her sword, just in case. She is still itching to join in the dancing.

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 05-20-2002, 12:56 PM

The Barrow-Wight downed the last drop of his beer, patted Mr. Baggins on his curly head, and walked purposely across the party area, scattering guests left and right as they fled his disconcerting presence (or was it his putrid smell?). When he had left the shelter of his ‘barrow’, he had immediately noticed and tallied the treasure left by the guest called Sindaculion. But, while quaffing the last of his very tasty brew, he had suddenly noticed that the pile of trinkets seemed a bit short. At first it had crossed his mind that hobbits were quite nimble-fingered, but upon a longer look, he noticed the princess’ lovely tiara.

“Never steal from a wight,” he mumbled to himself, clutching his one fist tightly.

His quick pace soon let him towering over Estelyn, looking down on her with a horrible scowl.

“That’s a lovely headpiece,” he said. "And what a beautiful ring."

Sindacuion · 05-20-2002, 01:01 PM

*AHEM*
Sindacuion, not Sindaculion. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-20-2002, 01:02 PM

While this excitement distracted everyone Auriel recieved a telepathic message from her soccer watching partner to fetch some M&Ms from the party so had to leave quickly but would return as soon as she could. She hoped that the Barrow wight would not do anything to dreadful to the princess. Perhaps she should get the sword while she was home.

Sindacuion · 05-20-2002, 01:03 PM

Sindacuion glares at the Barrow Wight. "Oops.. I mean you're always right.. Never mind that.." Writes 'Barrow Wight is always right' on a chalkboard a hundred times. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 05-20-2002, 01:07 PM

The Barrow-Wight turned his head and said, "Thanks for the presents, Sindacuion.".

His attention returned to the princess.

Estelyn Telcontar · 05-20-2002, 01:09 PM

Estelyn flashes a dazzling smile at the Barrow-Wight. "How lovely of you to provide such marvelous jewelry for your guests! I wear it with pride and will make sure it gets back to you safe and sound!"

Veritas · 06-06-2002, 12:50 AM

<<<What's that kind of post above me? A post of a REG, never seen before [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img].>>>

Veritas was still standing treathening Celeaewen, but her head was somewhere else, when Celeaewen moved trough under the sword and climbed in the oak. "Huh? Not so quick everybody," Never do two things at the same time Veertje, the wizard thought.

She wandered what she would do, climb in the tree and find out then that Celeaewen was climbed out again, or go over and look why everybody was exited. She choose the last one after calling to the Elf: "I see you later elf, and then watch your step..."

Walking over the field was quite difficult, because most people were sleaping, and there were all kind of bottles and rubbish at the grass. She saw Pio standing wet besides the river, another mystory solved.

She didn't know exactly what to do, and went to Kettle, who was hopping over the field, waking people up by sprankeling water over them.

"Kettle, can you tell me what is happening now? I've been sleeping for a while, and then a row with Celeaewen, I must have missed a lot. Something to do, otherwise I go and finish the tale with Celeaewen."

"I don't know really." He said, "But I want to found it out for you." and he hopped away.

"Okay, elf, watch until I found you, then you'll have to wait before you can party again!" Veritas said with a angry smile on her face.

ArwenBaggins · 06-15-2002, 02:02 PM

i know im 22 pages late, but im enterin. is that ok? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Tinrùnya Sweetwind{characters} waltzes into the room in her battling clothes. "Ai, just back from a Warg battle!" She says aloud. The music stops and everyone looks that way. "Sorry... Hey Daniel!"

Frodo Baggins · 06-05-2002, 09:48 PM

Frodo was finally able to get some sleep without being pestered by a REG or orcs or nosy people. As for feeling, he was still incredibly weak(he could hardky stand on his own) and quite thin. He still had that maia wound, and an orc had clubbed him right over that same spot, so it was bruised and rather painful. But other than that.... he was fine.

Frodo was getting some much needed sleep for one without worrying about orcs or Random Event Generators or nosy people.

He was still terribly weak and thin, barely able to stand on his own, and haver being slashed by a Maia and clubbed by an orc in the same spot he was still in a lot of pain, but other than that he was fine

Rose Cotton · 06-06-2002, 04:27 AM

Even though Stacy had been trying to keep quiet as she left her tent she still woke Rose who was lying half asleep in the next one over. Rose hadn't slept well the entire night. The longing for new adventure made her wide awake.
"Oh Sam, that coney stew would be absalutly wonderful." Rose sat down next to Sam. She had wanted to have a talk since she had never rely sat down with the hobbit the entire party. But having Sam next to her seemed to finally comfort and relax her. She closed her eyes and rested her head on her hero's sholder hoping it wouldn't hurt him.

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 05-20-2002, 01:19 PM

The Barrow-Wight stood still as he contemplated the princess’ ‘excuse’ for taking his treasures. Was she lying through her teeth and likely to walk away with more if he let her? Or was she truly wearing it as party favors she intended to return. Regardless, it did not matter. The more she took, the better she would look lying on his barrow floor after he abducted and sacrificed her.

A pained looked cross his face and the crowd gasped.

I have got to break this terrible cycle, he thought. This ‘abduct and sacrifice’ routine is all I ever do. This is supposed to be a party, and I’ve already seriously considered murdering two of the guests. I really need counseling.

He looked down on the woman, his face melting into a less-threatening, slack-jawed leer that was supposed to be a smile.

“You may keep them,” he muttered. “They look better on you than on me. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”

He turned and made a bee-line for the keg.

piosenniel · 06-06-2002, 01:11 AM

Rose was still sitting in the bar when Pio walked in. She was slowly sipping on a soda and staring dreamily into space.

Pio motioned for her to come sit in a booth in the corner, out of earshot and eyesight of most of the customers in the bar.

'I can see you've got a little case of wanderlust going, Rose. I know just how you feel - the open road, the adventure around every corner, a wealth of new sights and sounds that can make you quite dizzy with delight. It doesn't seem that long ago that I first started my travels with Gildor Inglorion and his Wandering Company of Kindred. Such a lovely, and rich life . . .', sighed Pio with a faraway look in her eyes.

'O! I would love to have done that!', said Rose.

'Yes, I know. Which is why I have come to you with this proposition. What would you say to an expedition to Gondor to see if we can retrieve the copy of The Red Book of Westmarch given to king Elessar. I believe it was called Thain's Book, and I know it was recopied during Eldarion's reign(Elessar's son) and given to the Hobbits. This is the volume which survives to this day. What I don't know, exactly, is where it is! In addition to this, I was thinking we might have a look-see for the Stone of Orthanc, the palantìr that King Elessar used during his reign.'

Rose's eyes lit up, then narrowed, 'Isn't that going to be a LOT of walking considering we have no idea where we're looking?'

'Well, Rose, that's where I thought your talents as a thief extraordinaire would come in handy. I thought we might head back to the Barrow Downs and from there to the Shire where we might pick Child's brain as to where she thinks those items could be located. & then, we might, perhaps, "borrow" Angara since that would cut our travelling time to a fraction.' Pio glanced at Rose, inquiringly.

'Sounds interesting', said Rose. 'When do we start?'

'As soon as we find someone who knows Child's address we can be off. Now, who might know it?', asked Pio.

"Are you alright if I leave you for a while? I'll come back in a while." __________________ [ . . . Signature in process . . . ]

Posts: 7,779	'Oh my stars and jewels,' thinks piosenniel to herself, as she makes her way toward the banquet tables. 'Look! There's Auriel! And if my eyes don't deceive me, she's brought a vegan cheesecake.' Grabbing two crystal flutes of miruvor, she offers one to Auriel and glances covetously at the cheesecake. Wanting to seem helpful, but not too apparently ravenous, she offers to cut the cheese cake. 'Oh, it smells delicious - what ever did you put in it? and the texture, it's so creamy, yet sturdy as it stands here on my plate. Now how did that get there? Oh, well, never say an elf will let a good piece of cheesecake go to waste . . .' The last few words of this running monolog were somewhat obscured as the slim fingers of the elf popped a large section of the cheesecake into her mouth and chewed and swallowed with great gusto. 'My goodness!,' thought Auriel bemusedly to herself. 'Who'd have thought such a delicately small face could open that wide to accomodate such a large treat!' 'Umm, thanks! & your welcome, piosenniel! By all means, help yourself!' Sipping daintily on her miruvor, Auriel thought to herself, 'I knew I should have brought 2!!'

Rosa walked over to the keg and filled up another mug of ale. "Urghhhhhhhh.I dont feel so good."Rosa frowned as she put down her mug and sat down again. "Mental note: dont drink to much next time."

Auriel Haevasawen Wight Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Nowhere of importance Posts: 240	Auriel feels a lot less nervous now Piosenniel has come over and is delighted her cheesecake has a fan. "Is there anything else you'd recommend?" she asks. "I think the Dr Pepper's spiked but I can see so many things here I've never tried. Everyone seems to be gathering by the black tent. Should we go over there too?" Piosenniel has surreptiously consumed another slice and is unable to answer at present. The hobbits have begun dancing again and despite her reserve Auriel taps her foot and begins to smile. Above her someone is humming to himself in a tree. __________________ Auriel

Then discovers that a dead spider has been flung across the room and, by chance, landed in the middle of her plate. Twenty yards, my hairy foot. More like forty. And it may not have hit some person, but it did hit my plate! Hey, WHO did that? Sees Frodo cowering in the corner. Ah, ha! It's just a crazy Baggins. What else do you expect?

Auriel Haevasawen Wight Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Nowhere of importance Posts: 240	Auriel is standing just behind Child of the 7th Age when the spider lands and panics. "I hope that's not one of Shelob's children. She wont' be pleased and we don't want her gatecrashing and wanting revenge." Luckily as usual her words a little more than a whisper and no one notices them. All the same she is regretting not bringing her sword, just in case. She is still itching to join in the dancing. __________________ Auriel

*The Barrow-Wight* Night In Wight Satin Join Date: May 2000 Posts: 4,043	The Barrow-Wight downed the last drop of his beer, patted Mr. Baggins on his curly head, and walked purposely across the party area, scattering guests left and right as they fled his disconcerting presence (or was it his putrid smell?). When he had left the shelter of his ‘barrow’, he had immediately noticed and tallied the treasure left by the guest called Sindaculion. But, while quaffing the last of his very tasty brew, he had suddenly noticed that the pile of trinkets seemed a bit short. At first it had crossed his mind that hobbits were quite nimble-fingered, but upon a longer look, he noticed the princess’ lovely tiara. “Never steal from a wight,” he mumbled to himself, clutching his one fist tightly. His quick pace soon let him towering over Estelyn, looking down on her with a horrible scowl. “That’s a lovely headpiece,” he said. "And what a beautiful ring."

She hoped that the Barrow wight would not do anything to dreadful to the princess. Perhaps she should get the sword while she was home. __________________ Auriel

Veritas Wight Join Date: May 2002 Location: The Netherlands Posts: 131	<<<What's that kind of post above me? A post of a REG, never seen before [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img].>>> Veritas was still standing treathening Celeaewen, but her head was somewhere else, when Celeaewen moved trough under the sword and climbed in the oak. "Huh? Not so quick everybody," Never do two things at the same time Veertje, the wizard thought. She wandered what she would do, climb in the tree and find out then that Celeaewen was climbed out again, or go over and look why everybody was exited. She choose the last one after calling to the Elf: "I see you later elf, and then watch your step..." Walking over the field was quite difficult, because most people were sleaping, and there were all kind of bottles and rubbish at the grass. She saw Pio standing wet besides the river, another mystory solved. She didn't know exactly what to do, and went to Kettle, who was hopping over the field, waking people up by sprankeling water over them. "Kettle, can you tell me what is happening now? I've been sleeping for a while, and then a row with Celeaewen, I must have missed a lot. Something to do, otherwise I go and finish the tale with Celeaewen." "I don't know really." He said, "But I want to found it out for you." and he hopped away. "Okay, elf, watch until I found you, then you'll have to wait before you can party again!" Veritas said with a angry smile on her face. __________________ With the birds I'll share this lonely view. ~Red Hot Chili Peppers, Scar Tisue~ Laurëfin

Frodo Baggins Ghost Prince of Cardolan Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Bag-End, Under-Hill, Hobbiton-across-the Water Posts: 606	Frodo was finally able to get some sleep without being pestered by a REG or orcs or nosy people. As for feeling, he was still incredibly weak(he could hardky stand on his own) and quite thin. He still had that maia wound, and an orc had clubbed him right over that same spot, so it was bruised and rather painful. But other than that.... he was fine. __________________ "I'm your huckleberry....that's just my game."

The longing for new adventure made her wide awake. "Oh Sam, that coney stew would be absalutly wonderful." Rose sat down next to Sam. She had wanted to have a talk since she had never rely sat down with the hobbit the entire party. But having Sam next to her seemed to finally comfort and relax her. She closed her eyes and rested her head on her hero's sholder hoping it wouldn't hurt him. __________________ "There's nothing you can do, Harry... nothing... he's gone."-Remus Lupin "The closer we are to danger, the further we are from harm."-Pippin (now how can you argue with that logic?)
