Shadow of Starlight

Once again, I must apologise - I have been following, of course, but haven't actively posted because there didn't seem much point unless I really had a good amount of time to put into it.
Anyway, a few thoughts... - The Houseless - it does seem a pity to leave them entirely after all the planning which was getting quite exciting, but if you wish to leave them, well, alright. They were becoming the central plot and this maybe isn't what was required for this RPG - but hey, when we're done with this game, if anyone else wanted to continue along that line I don't think they would fall short of volunteers to play ![]() Quote:

![]() The easterlings are more intelligent than the orcs, who rely on brute strength, and are able to use initiative, something thatwhich is why they have been drafted in, along with some of the stronger and fiercer uruk-hai (maybe?) - this could understandably bring about quite a bit of resentment from the orcs at the insinuation that they are not good enough, which could make for interesting playing, obviously. The mission (as Fordim said) will probably be a suicide one...but the easterlings and orcs carrying it out don't necessarily need to know this when they go in *evil* Imagine, the outside patrols have been distracted and are occupied by the bulk of the force that was sent ahead for that very purpose, and a smaller group can then break through the skeleton guard which has been left on the boundaries with the intent of getting to Nenya and destroying it (or that's the theory - to add yet another twist, maybe a few of the more intelligent easterlings have worked out that with the help of the ring to their own devices, they could get more out of this war than bargained for - just a thought). But they hadn't bargained for the elves who have remained deeper within the wood, guarding the Lord and Lady - but there are not many of them. When others on the boundaries hear the sounds of battle starting up from within the forest, they call to the elves already fighting the bulk force of baddies, and all who can be spared rush back in to the aid of the Lord and Lady, hemming in the easterlings and orcs, who may come to the sudden realisation that they have been tricked, at which point some of them may attempt to hot-foot it out and, pretty inevitably, be slaughtered in the process. But there are a fair number of baddies there already, even without the deserters, and things do not look good for the elves and the ring Nenya... Meanwhile, the other elves are rushing back to Lorien as fast as possible against all odds - but will they get there in time?! (Tune in for another episode of 'Bloodstained Elanor' to find out.. *cue theme music*) What do you think?
