Mirkwood Endgame Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tevildo · 04-12-2005, 02:15 AM

I have been stalling a bit. Since I'm new to this storyline, I was hoping that everyone else knew exactly what they were doing and would point the way.

I do have a question. Can I assume that you want my character to join Rudhchamion's group immediately in the forest? Or did you have something else in mind? There is a mention in the outline of you being helped by an "ally". That happens a bit later. I am assuming that ally is not me, and I should come creeping up in the forest now.

If someone can confirm that, I'll get working on a post.

Tev: On that I can't confirm much.

I really don't have a problem with it. Your character may get a shock from seeing a human traversing Mirkwood, which would make an interesting story- or not. It might get her in trouble

I really think this is up to Thali to decide who goes first. I don't mean to pawn it off to her, but if I'm told to go, I'll do my best to get it rolling

It does say that Taralphiel gets attacked by Muru, but I can only really lead up to that. I really would not have an idea of how that sequence could be best executed.

Warg: I didn't feel right doing that job, being so absent myself...but if you like i can volunteer

No, seriously, glad to be back with you! Let's have some fun!

Please note:

Thali does not need to decide who goes first.

The initial posts have now been placed, please read through them and jump in as you can with your character.

Thali has given an outline of what will be happening. Here is the first step of the outline:

Quote:

Afterlithe (July)

The story begins near the foothills of Dol Guldor

within a week Rudhchamion's group discover Muru, as she attacks Taralphiel, in an attempt to capture the young maiden
the group discovers the Wargriders raiding party
dark elf discover Warzgarz's patrol whic leads them near the Orc encampent ( are delayed in deciding to head back to Thranduil or continue)
Rudhchamion decides to continue on, planning to enter the fortress of Dol Guldor after Khelek discovers the hidden path
The group encounters an ALLY

-------------------------------------------------
Rinurion patrols and sees Deagon leaving the designated patrol areas. Tells Laryelion and Gayahithwen of his supicions. The group is still unsure of Deagon's true nature
Gayahithwen learns of an attack at the eastern border of the realm from another patrol. Tension grows in the Realm as the elves tighten their defense.

Please remember this is a game, not a cooperative fan-fiction effort. Anyone can now start the ball rolling and others can pick up on it. Remember that plot twists are always welcome and add some additional excitement to the game.

One word of caution: Please write for your own character and use the carry along characters as needed. Don't use other writers' characters (that is, write dialog or actions) without clearing it with them.

Thanks!

My first post is up. Please let me know if anything conflicts with your earlier storyline in case any revisions are needed.

It's that dratted "hound" that gave you away!

Great stuff Tev!

GreatWarg, should Khelek pick this up? If so, I can write up a post of him giving Tara a slight jolt as he sits up :P

Thalionyulma · 04-29-2005, 07:06 PM

Wow, the whole gang is up and ready!

Pio's right people, although I may have put up the storyline to serve as the guide that doesn't mean you all have to what for me. It'll make things interesting...

Its also interesting to let you all know I have an orc and a dark lady (okay, vampire) behind my back, throwing dagger looks at me. I got the message! (GW, no need for the club or fangs, hehehehe!)

Tev,

From which direction is your character coming from? Did he arrive at Thranduil's realm and on his way down south now?

Yes, that is generally what I envisioned. My character is close to your camp now, though he doesn't know it.

I can come up to your camp in a peaceful setting and just simply spring from the forest and introduce myself. Alternately, if there is going to be a fight or action taking place very soon, I can come roaring out to help you. I'd only want to do that if there is some action coming on very quickly.....

Let me know.

Thalionyulma · 05-01-2005, 08:26 PM

Tev,

actually Eiz and Vitto are going to toss coin. They were wondering why they should let a lone elf wander in unchallenged. They may stall your character a bit. Will you be captured or wounded?... hmmmmm.

Deagon is going to be taking some action too in the Elven Realm. They've been too quiet... besides I don't want that group forgotten.
