About Veryadan's injuries:

Quote:

The lone Orc had circled round him, and arcing his jagged blade in a two handed grip cut the Ranger deeply on his flank. Aidwain had by this time brought down the Orc with a deeply driven arrow. Veryadan’s sword slipped from his grasp as he clutched his bleeding side. He staggered back from the Troll whose leering face now looked down on him with a sort of feral glee. The foul creature swept his club round about, catching Veryadan hard on his upper arm.

The Ranger has a long, deep gash on his left flank from the Orc blade and possibly a fractured upper left arm where the Troll whacked him. Also he is probably not conscious at the moment since he was thrown on a pile of rocks by the blow.

Kransha's plan for the reinforcements from earlier on the discussion thread:

Quote:

After Luinien, Thoronmir, and Menecar arrive, he'll send in a larger second wave, which will include Kransha and Bubkur (which means, in short "watch out!").

. . . The second wave will consist of Kransha, Bubkur, and 6 other orcs. 8 in all. But, save Kransha and Bubkur, the orcs are not the most lithe warriors. Speed and agility can beat most of them.[/b]

So: there are 6 Orc underlings to be done in.

Plus the fiercesome Orc duo of Kransha and Bubka, whom you can fight, but not kill.

How many arrows does your quiver hold? Your character should probably take time out to gather a few of his arrows back.

I understand you're busy, Pio, but could you please answer these questions:

1) approx. how many orcs are there and 2) what is a tark?

Thanks!

Psst, Saurreg - farmer saved, farmer saved

rutslegolas: if you do regather your arrows, I would advise you to do so quickly (orc blood is like acid and will corrode metal if given enough time) Just a thought.

I'll feel those. 8 orcs in all: Kransha, Bubkur, and 6 nameless ones. Tark is the Black Speech (orcish) word for "man on Numenorean descent." In other words: tark most likely means 'Dunadan,' the plural being 'Dunedain.'

Save to be filled shortly.

Yikes! Methinks my poor little she-Elf needs some rescuing. Hmm...

Meneltarmacil, if you want to put up a battle post of your own, I recommend you do it now. The Trolls you have been harrying are already in retreat, according to Primrose's save.

I'll be posting shortly. Kransha, are you going to want to get in a final post when the Orcs retreat? We won't be able to flee the field immediately because of Veryadan, so your people are going to have to leave us in command of the field

I will extricate Luinien from her Fordim-induced pickle before I leave for a meeting tonight. Does anyone else want to get in anything before Tarondo and Silrûth show up? State your preference or put up a save, because after I get back the cavalry will arrive. Unless Esgallhugwen posts first or puts up her own save. Your choice, m'dear.

Yours truly,

Blood 'n' thunder Nuranar

Ok, Luinien's left arm is out of action but she's not. Yet. (Gee, Fordim, what was I supposed to do? I didn't want her smashed up - that's Veryadan right now!

)

IF YOU WANT TO GET SOMETHING IN BEFORE TARONDO AND SILRûTH ARRIVE, PUT UP A SAVE NOW. I hope to put that post up by midnight, Central Daylight Time.

Meneltarmacil · 10-21-2004, 09:24 PM

I won't be able to post here from Friday to late on Sunday, just to let you know.

I'm also wondering if I can fight Bubkur several more times until I finally kill him (before Kransha injures me though). Just thought a little enmity between the two of us wouldn't hurt.
