Okay...where is everybody? We only have six days to wrap this baby up. The gates need to be barred, Oin needs to have a good reason to go to Hollin, etc. If there's Writer's Block, read the chapter in FotR.

Cheers,
Imladris

From your post, Imladris, and from the Perky Ent's, I thought the battle was finished. Everyone is back from the Silverlode as far as I can see: as we only have six days and we have now had a few battle posts and pre-battle posts, I suggest we keep with this.

After Balin's funeral - shall we have this now? - it would be sensible for the gates to be barred: despite their losses, the orcs themselves will probably know what effect the loss of a leader could have, as no doubt those who planned the death of the Chief would have pondered on it before they acted. They might guess that the death of the dwarves' leader would have an adverse effect on their moral - indeed, maybe they planned this and that's why they struck at Balin: maybe it wasn't entirely coincidence?

Dain has had no word from the company in months, and could be thinking anything, and the real danger of the orcs is now being realised. Ori said that they need to leave - as Flori and Ori were the pair who were Balin's closest friends and were second to him in organising the quest, they would probably be taking charge somewhat, so this would be taken seriously. Maybe you'll have your character agree? Maybe your character will argue against this for whatever reason? They need to get their things together and get ready to leave, preferably without getting massacred, and so need to come up with a plan to get past the now-emboldened orcs. But the orcs are getting closer and closer - maybe another dwarf could fall? Soon the second hall is taken...and the rest is there.

What do you all think? Please do read through.

I know I'm a game manager but I like that Aman. Yes, the battle is done as you mentioned Aman.

Hello

Since there isn't much time left before the game ought to be finished, I was wondering if I just could set up a save for Pyro regarding the planning of killing off Nazklash.

I sent him a PM three of four days ago, but he hasn't answered yet.

So, is it okay?

Amanaduial the archer · 04-16-2004, 09:32 AM

I think that would be fine, yes - it means the post would have a specific place on the game rather than being messed up on the timeline. So if you want to, then yes, I think that would be fine.

Imladris?

Imladris · 04-16-2004, 10:14 AM

Definitely. We might have to do the same thing for Orual, considerring she's been absent lately...
