Pio, could you edit that Oro's post in please? Oro - excellent end to Herding. Ha, good won over evil!...oh wait, Koran's a Southron as well...

Thank you all for the brilliant game - despite the rush at the end, it was consistently a very enjoyable game with some marvellous characters (Ehan, Gromwakh and Snikdul will always be remembered especially in this corner

). Durelin, along with the others who thought up the game especially, I take my hat off to youse all - brilliant.

Thanks.

One last question. Pio, or anyone in a position to do so, could you remove the little sentance in bold from my last post. I do not believe it can be filled with relevant information before the RPG thread is moved to Elvenhome. Thanks in advance.

I can't believe I missed the ending! Bloody hurricanes. *kicks Frances* We were out of power for a bit (okay, more than a bit) so... yes, I kind of... was not here. And I wish I had written a post before the hurricanes came. The discussion thread was s'posed to close today, I think, but is it still possible to get in a last post? *doubts that*

I'm still waiting for Durelin's last post for the game.

I'll leave this thread open until tomorrow, noon, Pacific Time - get your post on here by then - I'll place it for you - then the game is definitely heading to Elvenhome.

(glad you survived the weather!!)

(thank'ee! but it wasn't that bad up here... just a tree branch or two fell... so all is fine, for now.

)

Finished my last post. I hope it fits... I might have mis-read something. I do that a lot.

Well, I better hurry up and post this before I back out and end up re-writing the whole thing..

-----

An elf made eye contact with Urkrásh, methodically choosing his next victim. Urkrásh then charged at the elf, who dodged the orc-blade. Urkrásh's failed attack was counteracted with a graceful hit. Blind with rage, he charged again. All the thoughts of his previous battle, hatred of elves and trees, and duty to serve the Eye, were thrust into his attempt, his last attempt. An attempt that had failed once more. The experienced elf blocked the second attack and thrust his own sword into Urkrásh's side in one smooth motion, too fast for Urkrásh to do anything.

He clenched at his side, his hands and arms soon covered with blood. Falling to his knees and then over on his side, everything went black. All the orc could hear was a faint cry, ‘Southrons, rally to me!’ He acknowledged that the battle had been lost. But in the very back of his mind, he heard a voice. ‘No loyalty, no devotion, no sense of purpose at all. They probably have no aspirations, no hopes, and I don’t blame ‘em. They’ll never get anywhere, not the way they conduct themselves. You and I, on the other hand, orcs like us are different. And, Urkrásh, if you serve with loyalty and show your mettle for the cause, you’d get somewhere, and any of that lot might too if they did so.’ For a moment, he wondered if he had gotten anywhere. If there was more he could have done.

Those thoughts soon died, as Urkrásh did himself. One body of many uruks and some orcs scattered across the battlefield. Never to be remembered, except as one fighting for evil. One who had been killed by an elf that might live on to tell the story of his victory to his friends. One who had been defeated for the side of good.

I tacked yours onto Aylwen's, #148; it went well there.
