All right, I have written something for Lóni now. Groin, whenever you are around, you can add some kind of response to my post - either from Nisa or even from Náli, if you want him to wake up. It can be just something simple, or whatever you choose. I am also planning to throw Onli into the mess, returning a bit late to his place by Náli's side, so you could even use him. So, if you don't want to reply to Lóni, you can write that Nisa or Náli (if you make him awaken) could see Onli emerging behind Lóni's shoulder, and they can make some comments as to what they feel about Onli's abandoning of his duty. Or you can leave it for me to do later.

Óin is going to wander somewhere in the corridors after briefly seeing Trór, we may not even need to write about that in particular. If somebody feels like initiating a dialogue with him or something, you may.

Groin Redbeard · 09-06-2009, 05:00 PM

Great job Legate! I'm writing for all three of my characters today, but will probably post for only one (possibly two now that Loni is set up for a conversation

). I won't get anything posted today; however, the post will be finished and posted tomorrow morning sharp.

Also, for those who are wondering how the general atmosphere of the colony is, it would probably be anxiety. The battle was a draw (this will be made clear in my next post) won only by Oin's slaying of the Orc Chieftain. The Orcs are mining into the mountain so the Dwarf warriors are expecting the next fight to be in the First Hall (not to say that that is the case).

Remember, Balin still needs to be buried (probably informal--a warriors death) and a certain something still needs to be handed off (this will be revealed what that is in my next post

). Plus the BALROG!

still needs to make his entrance.

Mmh sorry for being away, my Uni just started last week so it was a mess. I should be able to be around more now. *needs to write for Ori and talk with Groin about the general storyline* Anyway, I'm glad to see people are active and things are progressing. If you need filling in on what's happened lately or something, just PM me and ask - and I'll be answering questions on this thread too, especially at the times Groin's going to be away. So let's just keep this great RPG going and finish it some day...

Kitanna · 09-07-2009, 06:46 AM

I finished my save, which took a few extra days to do, but it's up now and Iari can be more active these days.

Thinlómien · 09-21-2009, 04:17 AM

Sorry for having been inactive, but I've just been busy. Expect me to move the plot onwards in a few days' time.

Thinlómien · 09-27-2009, 02:41 PM

Rejoice people! I will finally post something tonight!

We do need Groin to move on a bit more though, because there's something he wanted to do that has to be done before leaving the settlement and fleeing.

We're all going to die soon... mwa ha ha!

Folwren · 09-28-2009, 10:49 AM

Hm...Don't move on yet. I mean to post for Kénan first. Soon.

-- Foley

Folwren · 10-12-2009, 11:26 AM

Augh!

I've FINALLY posted! I am SO sorry!

I will PM Kitanna and let her know. I think she and I want to get this little drama dealt with before moving on, because it really is pivotal in our characters' development. I am really, really sorry. I know I for one will try extra super hard to keep my part moving, at least until this crucial part for me is over. School is lightening up, so that helps.

-- Foley

Thinlómien · 10-13-2009, 06:01 AM

Cool down, Foley, as long as people are not losing interest because of it, slow speed is ok. Your post was good.

I PMed Kath (who hasn't ever written for her characters) and she said I may kill them off. So, actually, if anyone wants to write a few people die, you can use Hepti and Svior (and if no one else does it, I will).

I may try to contact our other disappeared writers but not sure if that'll help...

Kitanna · 10-13-2009, 10:29 AM

I'm gonna put up a save and then if everyone wants to move on I'll have a spot saved to answer Folwren's last post. I'll probably fill the save later this week, Saturday would be the latest I'd fill in my save.

Thinlómien · 04-06-2010, 04:11 PM

Questions or amendments?

The Hall of Hundred Pillars is a place I just invented. It would be situated somewhere rather middle in Moria, but less than a day's march from the east gates.

Basically, most of the professional warriors will stay at the gates with Trór, while the seasoned non-soldier warriors would be serving as a sort of militia and protecting the civilians (who are not supposed to be in any danger as long as the gates hold). I haven't decided yet who's to command this "militia", probably Lóni, Óin, Ori or this commander Brambor (who is a random NPC). Any suggestions?

And as for the posting guidelines, there's not much to say - just write what your characters think and do during the three hours.

PS. I was thinking that some of Trór's warriors would be assisting the evacuation by carrying the wounded who can't walk themselves. This would be told to anybody at the "hall of healing" (or wherever the wounded are) by the healers, as soon as the head of healers (whoever s/he is) is notified about this...

Not Lóni, in any case. Lóni is supposed to stay close to the eastern end and die

And Óin will at least not wish to accept that post eagerly - he is a "scout", after all. I think Óin might sort-of have an important role, but he probably shouldn't have a role such as this, as he would be more into the logistics-part of the move.

The wounded are in the First Hall (you can check that on the previous page). I don't know who's in charge, Nisa might have an important word there, but not sure.

I am probably going to write something now, even if it was to be short. Btw, rereading about my characters, it's quite interesting. I suggest everybody to do that if you need a kick to make you again interested in the game

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-07-2010, 03:56 PM

Okay, so I have posted - and looks like I even managed to keep up with my (in)famous definition of "short"!

So for all you others, folks... go ahead and post something too, don't be shy and don't hold yourselves back!

It's fun once you get back to it!

Dimturiel · 04-08-2010, 12:31 PM

My post is up. It was a bit awkward at first but I managed to get in the mood quite quickly

. Let me know if there is anything that needs to be altered in any way.

Just to let you know:

Eorl of Rohan is hosting a new RPG, Homeward Bound. The Discussion Thread is up for your perusal at present and will open soon to take on players.
