Tears of Mirrormere Discussion Thread

[Groin Redbeard]

Here's a list of some of the things that are possible for the council to discuss. Let me know if you there is anything else that they should discuss.

Agenda For The Council
~The most obvious of all: the number of Orcs that the Dwarves are facing. This includes how well armed the Orcs are and if Trolls or Wargs accompany them.

~Discern how long the Dwarves have before the Orcs reach Khazad-Dum.

~Strategize: make a plan on how the Dwarves should be set up in lines of battle. If there are to be any complicated maneuvers that need to be done this is the point where you bring those ideas forward.

~Don't forget that the majority of Dwarves fighting here will be undisciplined. This, of course, not meaning that the Dwarves won't be trained in warfare, just not to the extent that the regular soldiers are. The subject on how the unskilled Dwarves should be used can also be brought forward(Oin has already found the armory of the Third-Deep, so there should be no problem in supplying all these Dwarves).

~Back up plan(optional).

~Figure out what to do about the current state of affair that the colony is in.

~Finally, execute the orders and prepare the colony for a state of war!

Great, then any one can post their comments for their characters for the council.

Do you mind if Kénan makes some noise sometime during the council? I've no idea how I'll bring it in, but this idea has been stirring ever since my post with Arry's character, Vitr. It may interrupt things and stir ill will. Adding interesting conflic.

Saves been filled in. I hope Gror's left enough to talk about, and Groin the decision is of course up to Tror, to accept or not.

Sounds good Boro88, very nicely done. Though don't think that your part is done in the council just because you made your intro, I suspect that you will be the one whom everyone will refer to when it comes to information.

I was hoping someone would do this! I'm going to try awfully hard for Tror to stay on Kenan's good side, I don't want this to turn out like Thornden and Erbrand.

No problem. I was going to have some 'random' dwarves muttering and asking whether more of Gror's folks from the north would be coming down. But, decided to save that for if and when anyone wanted to ask.

Oh, well, without trying to give TOO much away, I'll just say that you'll be lucky if it doesn't.

EDIT: I posted. It occurred to me that since all of the dwarves will be dying in this game anyway, it wouldn't be too amiss if one dwarf were killed because he caused trouble within the tribe. It would be insanely interesting if this struggle with the orcs began with an execution of a dwarf.
