Well, thank you - it was a very self-centered post but that's what I get when I have more than one character, hehe...

[Groin Redbeard]

I have decided to finally break the stalemate of nothingness that seems to have obtained a firm hold over my RPG subjects. Fear not brave warriors of the pen (or keyboard as the "case" my be) a post for Tror will be up by Saturday night. Excitement is "write" (I love puns) around the corner!

[Gwathagor]

Ok, I thought about doing the whole thing in one fell swoop - and I probably could have to - but I decided I'd just get the soldiers outside and on the move, so I don't pass too much time all at once.

[Groin Redbeard]

Well done Gwath! Amazing job that you did there, it set up my post perfectly!

It is now officially nighttime in the RPG!

I have my post up for Tror, so, Gwath, you may respond to Tror's troubles if you wish. You have my permission to put whatever you want in your post. The advance guard of the Orcs' army and the Dwarves could accidently stumble into each other or the Dwarves could stumble upon Oin and save him from the clutches of Orcs (I believe that's what Legate wanted, but don't let me put words in his mouth), you have lots of scenarios to choose!

Legate, you still need to get that post up for Loni whenever you are ready. A post for Oin will be great right about now too, you may do whichever one first it doesn't matter. We won't have Frar and Tror find Oin until you are ready.

Also, we need some type of chemistry between the citizens in the halls (Loni's speech should take care of it). I'll get a post up for Nisa soon and have her mix with Dimturiel's character, Bain.

Wonderful job everyone! This is so much fun to write with y'all!

I am really sorry Groin, I will post something rightaway. Or, to be more specific, either today or during the following two days, for certain. I should say, however, also that I am afraid that after that there will be again some time when I won't be able to participate... but I will try to settle the matters so that it won't be any hindrance during that time.

As for Óin, my idea was rather that he might run far away enough from the Orcs so that he does not meet the Dwarves in any immediately dangerous situation. But then I also thought now that he might actually avoid even the Dwarves altogether, and thus miss Trór's party completely (like, that he really follows some secret path of his own). What would you think about that? Óin would then stumble only on the rest of the Dwarves, and Trór&co. would have no idea what happened to him. If that is possible, like I said. Or does anybody have any other interesting suggestions? If they are interesting, don't be afraid to speak up

Sounds fine to me, Legate. Perhaps Frar and Tror could find something that would allude the the presumption that Oin is captured or dead like a dropped item of his that they find on an Orc's belt (yes I do expect fighting with Tror, Frar, and the Orcs). Misunderstandings are so much fun in RPGs!

[Durelin]

So Tror and Frar's scouting party (you could call it) is on the move - I thought before that Tror was going to make sure Kor was with the scouting party, but I think I was incorrect? (simply a mistake on my part if so)

Done! I have let (as you may notice) Óin lose his tinderbox, and it may be really some sort of special one, so you can make Trór or Frár find it on some dead Orc (who found it and picked it, because it's nice. Or simply because he is a tracker and kept it as a track. Well, you don't have to solve this question). Óin is now free to be approached by ANY character, and I would especially encourage people who have not posted that much or have not interacted much with my characters yet. (Groin, with all respect, I think our characters had enough interaction among themselves, I would prefer Óin to interact with somebody else's character ) Óin needs to be informed yet specifically about how did Balin die, and he will also convey his news about the approaching Orcs (somebody may just use it in his/her post, it's not necessary that I reply to it in particular - you may as well just say "Óin then told XXX all he saw, about the Warg Riders and heavy-armoured orcs and battering rams etc.").

Durelin, you can write Kór's (and/or Kórin's) reaction to Onli's "invitation", and even make them approach Náli if I am not here to post (again, just say "Onli led him...") - or, if you wish to engage some longer dialogue before that, go ahead.
