Last Hope for Moria Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Imladris · 04-10-2004, 06:31 PM

Well, Moria used to be inhabited before Balin so the logical deduction is that the other dwarves had their own paths to the Mithril lodes and that Balin & Co will use those paths.

Question answered, I hope?

Merry Easter, Passover, etc...

Have a good one!

Cheers,
Imladris

Happy holidays to everyone!

Im sorry for the sparse posting, I just had a few things to take care of.

I was hoping there would be someone willing to interact with teh clutzy Maron some more. Im having trouble finding things to post for him! :P

Just let me know if you are interested

The Silverlode is the river that runs right past Moria and into Lorien, isn't it?

Also, the time fast forwarded five years, so do we just write according to what the dwarves are doing at this time? You'll tell us when we all start being attacked, right? I'm rather confused, sorry.

What I would like ya'll to do is to follow the rough outline I have. So what if I have the fact that Balin dies at the top? You have the journal to kind of follow along. If one of you wants to have a skirmish with orcs, go ahead. The outline is a rough guide that's all it is. We could get this game wrapped up in about four days. As it is we have sixteen. Go ahead and have fun with it.

Also, it seems as if people aren't reading previous posts on the Discussion Thread. Just a few posts back I said what the Silverlode was.

As the game owner, I control the way the game goes. However, I do not think I should always have to point the way for you guys (which is what I have been reluctantly doing). Take a step, think of the possibilities. I wrote a journal entry so base your current entry from that if you would like (like mark12_30 did).

Tomorrow I'll have Balin die

Cheers,
Imladris

Not sure what to say to that last sentence - it seems as if it requires either tears or a cheer...

Thank you by the way, all of you and especially Imladris, for the splendid work you have continued to do on the game over the past week - I was pleasantly surprised to see how well we're doing schedule-wise. We may actually finish on time - most excellent, as you would say, Imladris

Bringing this forward:

Imladris' Outline for the Endgame

Balin dies
On the same day, the other dwarves kill the orc that killed Balin, and many more up the Silverlode River (The River Celebrant)
Several days later: They have to bar the gates. I would think from the orcs. Any ideas from both orcs and dwarves?
The end game

1.) The Bridge and Second Hall taken. Frar, Loni, and Nali die.

2.) Hollin is flooded -- Oin goes to check it out, I presume. Orual- what do you think?

3.) The Watcher kills Oin.
The end comes.

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

The Silverlode River

The name among Men for the river the Elves called the River Celebrant; it sprang from the Mirrormere (Kheled-zâram in Dwarvish) in the Dimrill Dale (called Nanduhirion by the Elves; Azanulbizar in Dwarvish), and flowed southeast through Lórien to meet the River Anduin.

The East-gate of Moria stood at the head of the Nanduhirion Vale.
