Well, I just posted and wouldn't have much to add to what's there other than "The foul orcs threw them unceremoniously into a wagon and began the journey to Dol Guldur."

Perhaps Aman would like to get us on our way?

Well, I basically got you lot on your way, I hope no one minds... And I threw in a little encouragement for you prisoners...hope no one minds that little addition, either. Any of the Lorien elves can be the one who sees.

Okay, here's a run down...

The scouts are planning to head off the orcs escorting the prisoners back to Dol Guldur.

Meanwhile...the army moves slowly toward Lorien.

More meanwhile...the prisoners are treated poorly, but find hope...

As the orc escort is moving slowly, I expect that the rescue will occur shortly. But I don't think we're ready for it quite yet...

Is everything actually going alright?

One question, Durelin: Is the prisoner wagon still in close proximity to the army's camp? If so, Thrakmazh still has some parting words for the prisoners, and might try to wave down the wagon before they depart in earnest. If it is already too far, I might try to conspire a post below yours, so that it might not seem out of place. Suggestions? Opinions?

Kransha -- I have a save up in which Ambarturion will reply to Grom's proposal. If you would like, it could include a 'flashback' to Thrak's parting words(?).

If you want to do this, just PM your post to me and I will insert it into my post.

(BTW -- I still think it should be "Crapulent Corpse"

)

Kransha · 07-14-2004, 05:56 AM

I will do exactly that, if Durelin does not believe the first suggestion fitting. Whatever seems best. It would merely include a last conversation, mostly one-sided (Thrakmazh likes to hear the sound of his own voice as you may have guessed) between my orc and Ambarturion, so as to keep their tension up. Revenge is always nice, but when somebody wants revenge on Thrakmazh, he gives them a bloody good reason.

(P.S. I might go with 'Crapulent Cadaver.' How does that suit you?

)

Durelin · 07-14-2004, 08:11 AM

Kransha - I do not think a 'flashback' would be out of place at all. The scouts are trying to get ahead of the orc escort, and so there is no problem in them starting off before the pisoner wagon.
