Looks as if all that needs to be on board is Novnarwen's Character Description and the first Post.
Then, Himaran, just post the order for the First Posts by player name on the Discussion thread and I'll transfer them to the RPG thread and open the game whenever you wish. ~*~ Pio Last edited by piosenniel; 04-05-2004 at 12:25 AM. |

[B]Esgallhugwen: In your first post, end it by having your dwarf waiting the great hall. The dwarves are going to debate their route, not just run out the gate

Okay, here is my character profile. Sorry for the long delay.
Name: Dwalin Race: Dwarf Gender: Male Age: 44 Appearance: Dwalin is a bit shorter than an average dwarf. He's a bit over 1 foot high, nothing to really brag about. The dwarf wears a grey cloak and tunic. (He loves grey!) To go with that, he tends to wear a heavy and big dwarven armour. He always carries his light helmet on his proud, stout and BIG head. His arms are long, compared to his feet, and many are in fact amazed by them.... He has a short brown beard, which doesn't suit him at all. His eyes are brown, always on guard; his mouth can't be seen due to the horrible beard; his nose stretches its way down and is crooked and is not in proportion with the rest. The male dwarf has a tiny gash on his left cheek. He fell in the stairs made of stone one time, and has forever been mocked for it. Dwalin however, tends to lie when people ask him about where and when he got it. He tells them it was when he fought for his life when adventuring with Bali. (Everyone knows this isn't true though..) Weapons: A heavy, double-bladed axe is Dwalin’s primary protection. He is excellent aim with a bow, and carries a crossbow across his shoulder. A quiver stuffed with short, deadly arrows and two hatchets are set in his belt. Personality: Dwalin is a quiet dwarf, compared to his brother, Bali. He tries to avoid social life, or rather the common social life the Ereborian dwarves live. He would rather spend time working over the fire and anvil, pounding shape into a burning chunk of metal, then with other dwarves drinking. Dwalin is quite friendly, but not as friendly a Bali when it comes to foreigners. The dwarf cares a lot about the other dwarves and less about Middle-earth in general. The dwarf is humble, generous, but the thought of treasures can make him seem greedy. He would never admit to it, but those who know him really well can read him like an open book. He thinks however, that he is a wonderful actor who can put up any face, anytime. This is not the case. Few actually tell him the truth. It might come to their advantage later. Dwalin has always dreamed of travelling, but has still never ventured through dark forests, climbed mountains or found treasures. This is the main reason why he asked his brother to come along on this quest, to find Rhûn. History: Dwalin was born in Erebor. Here he was also raised. Together with his older brother, Bali, he spent much of his childhood dreaming of distant lands. Dwalin, however, was never really ready for an adventure, that's why Bali went alone on his journeys. Dwalin has never regretted the fact that he didn't 'follow' his brother’s footsteps. Now however, he has finally straightened up and found the perfect adventure. To find Rhûn, the ancient Kingdom, is his one and only dream. He has asked Bali to accompany him, as he has no experience whatsoever from the quiet and anonymous life he has lived. *** Hmm.. By the PM you sent me, I thought I didn't need to write a first post. By this thread, I get another impression. Do you want me to write a first post or not? (I've already started a post.. so.. ehm...?) Yet again, sorry for the delay. Cheers, Nova

The Game is now open for play.
Check the Discussion Thread for any instructions Himaran might have on how to proceed. 1.) Please remember to remove your signatures from EVERY post to the game thread, including SAVES. 2.) About SAVES - try to get them filled in within 24 hours of posting them. Have Fun! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Himaran - I left a SAVE space for Novnarwen's post following yours. Tell me if you want it there once she posts it on the Discussion Thread. Or I can remove it if she is going to jump in later in the game. Saraphim and Eruwen - Unfortunately I could not tell which of the posts for the Rhûn males belonged to whom. No names on the PM I received them in. One of you please take a look at the RPG thread and let me know if you are "Rhûn male 1 or 2".

Good news: I am setting up my post...I was a bit uncertain whether it was needed or not, but you, Himaran, must decide. Here it is though. Thanks fro your patience.
Bad News: Due to changing the Internet service (I have no idea what that really means), I won't have computer access the next couple of days. It'll probably be fixed latest Sunday. Pio, Himaran: Will you set up saves for me as needed? I'm very sorry about this.. ![]() Dwalin Dwalin sat in the staircases. He looked downwards trying to get a satisfying look of his short brown beard. Too bad it isn’t longer, he thought being disappointed. Everyone else had long beards. However, what annoyed him the most was the fact that he couldn’t actually get a proper look, or any look, of his chin; and therefore not where his beard started. The dwarf started making odd grimaces, turning his gigantic head in all directions. Nope, his chin couldn’t be seen. No matter what methods he used, it wasn't possible to get a glimpse of it. Chins are only an illusion, he thought, smiling. Dwalin giggled. He had in fact never thought of this before. It was indeed brilliant. The dwarf soon remembered why he actually was sitting here, and he felt the hunger of gold and treasures lurk inside of him. Why was he sitting here, looking like a complete idiot, when there was gold to find, and adventure to start and the finding of Rhûn? However, in order to start his adventure, he needed companions; which, by the way, he already had arranged. Now he just had to wait, wait for them to come. No more ‘chin-nonsense’, he thought. He put up a grim face and started waiting instead. Not long had passed before his brother, Bali, came hurrying down and found Dwalin. Dwalin had now settled by a table, with a huge map covering the table’s surface. They chatted for a while, looking at the map and discussing further. Dwalin paid attention, but in the back of his mind memories from his childhood disturbed the conversation he had with his brother. As a child, he remembered he thought of days like these; when he would at last would travel and find riches. He had dreamed long of an adventure, this adventure. However, Dwalin didn’t have the slightest idea of how it was going to be like; what he would experience or what they would find in the ancient kingdom of Rhûn. The feeling of wind, cold as ice, ran down his back and the dwarf jumped up, eyes wide open. Bali turned towards his brother, “Nervous, Dwalin?” He giggled, but the anxiety in his voice could clearly be heard. Dwalin lied and said no. Bali, who could see through this lie, giggled some more. “Aww, it’s alright to be nervous, afraid, scared, ‘jumpy’, and all those things on ones first adventure,” he said, pitying him, but still enjoying this a bit. Big brothers were supposed to ‘tease’ the younger ones once in a while. Dwalin didn’t care and ignored Bali, who was only trying to try his humour on somebody. They exchanged a few words, both rather excited now. Dwalin felt the urge of running out of the Hall and start his adventure at once, but this of course would lead to disaster. Bali looked at Dwalin, reading him as an open book. “We have to wait, dear brother,” he said, comforting. Dwalin giggled as he heard footsteps… *** Thanks. Cheers, Nova

Pio: Could you please place Novnarwen's post in the save? Thanks!
Novnarwen: That will be fine. Dwarves and Eruantalon: Time to discuss, argue and debate the trip - ANYTHING about it. The sooner we get that done, the sooner we can leave, so post away! Ruhnians: You can continue on your own storylines for the moment. But don't give much about yourselves or your lifestyle away!! Travelers: You can now post. Make sure that you are travelling around the River Running, or POSSIBLY on the outskirts of Ruhn. If you are, DON'T ENTER IT!!!! Wait for the dwarves to get there. LETS MOVE! Himaran |
