No I think Skittles has a dead robot doppelganger.

I want to know how she suddenly got in off the beach...both selves.

Save filled. Lhuna, if you don't want to fall for Dracomir's ruse feel free to avoid it, but I think it might be quite fun rendering you Inaudible for a bit...

The evil Santar is ready to throw fury at Roggie!
I'm not sure what his angle will be, if you can think of a history for him, Rogs, do so, just make it funny.

Hookbill, I'd like to preface this by saying that I love your character and I love your writing. Still, I have a bit of an issue that needs addressing.

Some of you know, some of you don't: I'm in control of Heren's Roggie account. He was slated to write Roggie himself, but he went and became a father on me (and what a cute baby, I might add, and a beautiful wife, so no wonder he has less time now... ) and so offered me the loan for the duration of the game.

That said, I have a very set character description of Roggie being misunderstood, not cruel or self-absorbed. He was a slave to Morgoth back in the day and as soon as he could escape, he did. He has a reputation, but it's unwarranted. Roggie of Morgoth is an actor and only accepted this country into his control because Mardil convinced him that any other would take it for self-advancement and the people would suffer.

Roggie has a temper, but he would not kick a dwarf and laugh, nor would he punch him in the face.

He will threaten anybody that gets near him, but Roggie's bark is far more potent than his bite, if you follow. He's a huge pacifist, regardless of his decision to make Skittles his chief war advisor.

Please, keep up the fantastic writing. It consistently makes me laugh aloud. But try not to take too many liberties with my character or soon I'll not recognize him. The whole reason I'm so fond of him is that Roggie is not a stereotypical Balrog.

Well, I had a bit of a plan going on. It was a joke that everyone started hitting Smilog, and it would be explained later that his voice sometimes reaches the exact and odd pitch that inadvertently makes anyone who hears it feel violent. Tollin would slowly have resorted to giving Smilog a good kick every now and again, not only for this reason but also because he is becomes extremely arrogant and treats Tollin like a servant at times. Nothing against Roggie, I wanted this to be a joke reserved for later, but I can reveal it now if it will make you feel better.
I know Roggie isn’t supposed to be pure evil or anything, I just like to think that my character is that annoying at times.
I can change things if it'll make you feel better.

I'm quite okay with the joke; it just seemed as though Roggie were acting so out of character as to become somebody else completely. Unless, of course, there's a RoboRog running around that I don't know about, which is entirely possible.

In a world of driving mountains, Sauron Santar, Skittles and such, ANYTHING is possible.

I have, now, made a slight change to my post:

The Minotaur went first, followed by Roggie, who knocked Smilog to the ground, almost not knowing why he did it
Hope that is better.

Ouch. Technically it isn't like Maika to accept something like that, especially from someone she doesn't particularly like, but what did they say about discontinuity? Dracomir would better be prepared, though, if ever. We'll see.

Speaking of Dracomir...I've just finished book one (gasp!) and I hate him. Draco, I mean.

I've just posted an interesting little twist on the bridge of Kazad dum. A little roll reversal, I think it works. A chance for Roggie of Morgoth to show his quality. I leave it to you to decide what happens to him against the evil Santar.

Well? Fea? Diamond? Can we pretty please form the Triple Goddess? Somewhere in this?

It could be interesting. Let's save it for later. I've got an idea about it that's better to be done once certain other things occur.

Form, B88, TGWBS... are you guys around somewhere...?

Exams finished last Monday, but I've been back at college and learning lots (paradoxically, I'm doing more subjects now than before exams). But at least the exams are over. I'll be with you soon.

Yes.... but.... I haven't a clue what I'm doing.

And Mt. Zoom driving away definitely didn't help.

Human Skittles switched with her robot when she went into room to change into the bikini. She didn't actually change clothes, she just sent her robot out to make people think they knew where she was, whilst she did various sneaky things, including putting itching powder into Anakron's trunk.

And what, you don't think Robot Skittles had plenty of time to go surfing and come back in time to listen to most of Anakron and Panakeia's conversation?

Actually, I need you to choose another orc to destroy. I need Lugnut, who would not be doing what you have him doing here. Of course, if you really do insist on using him, maybe the conveyances are going to get a little more powerful....
Geez, all this over a dead Orc. Okay, I'll do something.

Lugnut was just ahead of Anakron and Panakeia in the hallway.

Actually, the dead Orc was never named in the game thread, right? So it didn't have to be Lugnut, did it?

Actually, I left him unnamed so that if someone objected to him being dead, well, it didn't necessarily have to be him. But the androgynous part kind of hinted at it.

I made an edit:

(Fear not, gentle readers, for this hapless Orc was not the beloved Lugnut, but Lugnut's evil twin, Nuglut.)
Kath, I hope you don't mind, I'm going to hijack Igör for a wee little bit.... I'll return him in one piece, though.
