The Fellowship of the Fourth Age (Part 1): A New Beginning Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Let us hope that, with all this excellent planning, the fellowship or some other rescuer will come soon. Azhar has collapsed on the floor of the cave from some unknown trauma, unconscious and with a high fever. I have a feeling that the slavers will put up with a sullen, rebellious slave but they may have no interest in dragging along one who is seemingly half dead.

How much time are we from the fellowship stepping in and taking the kids? I'm working on a post for Kwell and I would like to say that he heard something above him or from somewhere and although he doesn't know what it is, I think it could be from one of the fellowship. Is this doable?

Sounds good, but could you hang on to that post for just a bit?

We've gotten our two volunteers to spy in camp: Carl and Vrór. Durelin will do an introductory post where she "accepts" the mission for her character and for the hobbit. At the end of her post, or possibly in Lindir's response, there will be an indication that the two have left camp. Once that indication goes up on the thread, Kwell should be able to hear something that would lead him to think that help is on the way.

Possibly one of the scouts could even make a reference back to having made more noise than is advisable.

I'm not sure about that, but you could write and ask them.....

***************

Folwren & Nogrod --

Durelin and I will look at some of the great ideas you've come up with and see if we think something is doable.

We are still short staffed, which makes it tough to get a continuous storyline going. I'll post another absence report later today.....

Folwren · 07-27-2006, 11:15 AM

I'm about to post a post, still, though. He's going to wake up right after Azhar breaks her ropes (or whatever happens to them). He will not hear any of the fellowship.

Thanks for responding. It sounds excellent. Don't worry, when I post, though. I'll be able to post again after the two fellowship members move in. I just want to put Kwell's reaction to Azhar's condition right now. . .

Apologies, particularly to Hilde - that took me longer than it should have to get up.

But I have posted, and I have it is adequate. I tried to use other characters as little as possible, because I don't like to borrow, but I hope any ways that I used Lindir and Carl (and described them) is alright.

And of course let me know if I messed anything up.

Hilde - I hope that where I brought Carl and Vror up to (just leaving) is adequate.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 07-27-2006, 03:24 PM

Durelin, it is just perfect! And no need to apologize. I feel quite bad that I'm still not finished yet. Three paragraphs and still revising, but not finishing!

Hilde Bracegirdle · 07-28-2006, 06:12 PM

So sorry to have taken so long here, but Carl's "save" has been filled in.

I was thinking that the children could possibly be rescued through a side route, making use of the side tunnel and brook mentioned in Tevildo post for Azhar, perhaps reducing the number of slavers by picking them off as they happen to get too close to the excavation. That way the fellowship might be able to get back to their horses before being found out. But if the fellowships' hearts are keen on keeping above ground, I suppose that the tunnel might easy prove too small or be partially blocked.

Edit: Also, Durelin or Child, just let me know if this post needs to be placed later in the stream of events.
