Whoops! I missed a Taradan post! It's up now and fortunately it made no difference to the inquisition!

Re: ROHAN DISCUSSION

What kind of part would you like to play? If you want to jump right in, read the Rohan thread thoroughly, and you can start writing the part of one of the two straw-haired rohirrim with Thenamir and Taradan.

HEY!!!!! WHERE IS EVERYONE!!!!

Re: ROHAN DISCUSSION

I made the last post, and I am now technically unconscious. Are my friends going to fight back and rescue me? Or will they not notice I am gone till they leave the scene, and I will have to wake up tied against a tree, with a throbbing headache or something. That is if the ruthless Dunlendings don't jump on me while I'm down and stab me in the back or something. What will be my fate? I wonder....

Mea maxima culpa -- very busy lately -- I am up for the next post, which I hope to have out today. It will be a glorious and bloody battle...

A Special Request

In the battle and mop-up that is to come, leave Borleg *alive* -- I want Borleg to be the one who killed Thenamir's wife and friend. Unless there is strenuous and purposeful objection, HE'S ALL MINE -- not just yet, but somewhere near the end. So Ulfwine and I can deal with him in a manner worthy of his cruelty.

Re: ROHAN DISCUSSION

I would like to be an old hermit.
Name: Alben
Race: Human
Age: 65
He would be an old warrior who suffered greatly at the hands of Sarumon and wants revenge. Or I would be an Elf.

It is possible that you could join the game at some point in the near future. You would never get your revenge, since we know what happens to Saruman. You could theoretically be another Dunlender, willing to help the Riders against Saruman, distrustful of his people's leadership being in cahoots with the White Hand, and also not caring for the orcish ones who run with them.

I anticipate that the Riders will be picking their way through Dunland soon, following the ones who Wormtongue has sent to find the elvish ruins. There should be an opportunity very soon for you to join them.

Greetings,

I would like to play in this game. I am new to rp so have pateince with me. Gilthalion feel free to throw me in where needed, also feel free to change you of my charachteristics as you see fit

Charachter:
Name: Dwalin Thunderhammer
Race: Dwarf (gee what a suprise)
Age: 35
Skills: Blacksmithing. Very skilled with an Axe
Weapons: Sharp Steel Axe forged by the charachter himself, sledgehammer.
Items: (all armor forged by the charachter) Steel chain coat, Small steel shield with a gold inlay of a hammer, Steel helm, Pipe for pipe weed, a horse with a small horse-cart filled with various supplies (food, water, tent etc.)
Background: Father Doren fought in the battle of five armies and earned the surname thunderhammer for his use of a hammer instead of a mattox or axe. Earned the surname of thunderhammer for similar behavior when he was ambushed by a group of orcs while crossing the misty mountains. Left his home in the lonely mountain to help fight the growing shadow in the east and maybe get some gold.

I don't know if these forums have died but it's worth a shot.

[Theodred21]

Well, it's not dead, it's just that the players have been busy lately. I wish I could post, but I can't really do anything while I'm unconcious. (Pity I knocked my self out...) [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I know I'm not a mod, but I guess you could except some constructive critism from another player. Isn't 35 a little too young for a dwarf? If this question seems too stupid for you, don't answer, because I ask alot of stupid questions. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Dwarin Thunderhammer]

That's fine! I'll be an old dwarf. I really don't care. How about 75 or 100 is that better? That way I myself insted of my father could have fought in the battle of five armies. Please keep the criticism coming, like I said I am new to this, and as of yet I have only read the trilogy twice and the silmarillion once so I am not too framiliar with tolkiens world. I want to be the most helpfull and fun as can be.

[Theodred21]

Actually 75-100 would be middle-aged for a dwarf, since they live 200+ years.
35 would be a young-un. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Gilthalion]

Welcome! Sorry I've been out of pocket!

A dwarf that age might have fought in that battle, though he'd be very young at the time. Beardless almost!

We need a pretext for him to be in the area. If he smokes pipeweed, then he would have to have been one of the dwarves that passed on errands through the Shire.

During these days, it is possible that Balin and his dwarves are in Moria...

Perhaps Dwarin has come down the South road, from the Shire, and Tharbad, seeking a way to the West Gate of Moria, since messages from Balin had suddenly stopped, and no messengers sent through the East Gate ever returned...

If this appeals to you (keep in mind that it is a suicide mission separate from any adventure with this party) then you may meet up with this party a little later.

It otherwise doesn't make sense that a dwarf of the north is in the south to fight the menace to the east.

[Dwarin Thunderhammer]

"Do I smoke pipe weed?" he said with a chuckle as he drew a rather ornate silver pipe from his right pocket. He filled his pipe from a leather pouch woth the words Hornblower and Longbottom stamped on it. "Only the finest." He replied as he puffed a smoke ring into the air.
_________________________________

I guess that settles why I am in the south [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] . Oh and by the way for continuity's sake since I participated in the battle of five armies let's make me a tad older huh? Maybe 110 or 125? One last question, (I know this might be the wrong pace to ask it) do dwarf babies and women have beards? I've never heard it totally settled.

Heh. Babies don't. Mature women might.

[Thenamir]

Well, it looks like we all managed to survive the first skirmish.

The question is, now what? Several of us are wounded, and need some time to recover. It looks like heading back, at least temporarily, to Rohan, unless one of the new and yet-to-appear characters is a healer or a mage/wizard with some similar skill.

We really need to get some more characters into the mix -- Taradan and I are carrying most of the story so far. Good to see Kalohern in with the group. I want to see Kal get in some verbal barbs on the cowardly Gurthrin, and how Gurthrin will scheme to avoid being shamed upon their return.

Gil? Got any new revelations or things we need to know before we decide what's next?

[Gilthalion]

I'll have a post soon.

[shieldmaiden]

Hey, I have an Idea. Could the "shorter rider" (I cant remember his name) actually be a woman in disguise? I made up a nice background story. Her real name could be Haleth. She became a soldier when her twin brother and parents died of a disease. She joined the army three years ago instead her brother and no one knows who she is. She is 5,10 and fights with a sword. Speaks the languages of Rohan and Gondor, and of course,Westron.
PLEEEEASE!?

[Thenamir]

I don't have any objection (the shorter rider is Baranthol) -- but of course Gilthalion has the final say.

HEY YOU GUYS!!! We have two, count'em TWO people who want in. (I guess technically, Dwarin Thunderhammer is *already* in) and those who haven't posted recently (you know who you are) need to carry the story forward, get these people going. Let's roll! There are enemies about!!

Can i be an elf?
Name-Elwood son of Arathal
Height-6 foot

If i can't be an elf
can io be a wizard/mage

[Gilthalion]

SHIELDMAIDEN! I love it! Go for it!

Uh, no wizard/mages! Elf you are! A couple of riders are wounded. They could use some elvish healing arts right about now. As for background, you may be a scout from Lothlorien (this stretches plausibility less than any where else). You might have been tracking some of these orcish fellows mingling with the Dunlenders...

[shieldmaiden]

When can I start writing. If the idea of crossdressing woman/warrior is worn out (I hope that it is not so) I have another idea. What about a guy in his 50's,Burzost, an ex Pyrat from Umbar and now a tradesman who owns a ship and exports weapons and food to Isengard and want's to inport pipe weed to Umbar. Burzost travels with some crew and a daughter. He is 6,3,red haired, green eyes and fights with a long wooden rod. His daughter, Avarrodel, is redhead, too but has her mother's grey eyes (her mom is actually a descendant from the house of Dol Amroth but ran away to marry the pyrat, she died when Avarrodel was still a baby)Avarrodel throws knives and uses a wooden rod, too (and does it bloody good).
They are traveling along the river Anduin, destination Isengard. The riders of Ridermark could attack the ship while it is tied down to the shore and try to confiscate the goods (or whatever). Then there is that dwarf who trades pipe-weed...
But I would still prefer the first character,Barathol the crossdresser. Which one should I choose and when should i start?
Other people could take Burzost and Avarrodel.
I can't choose, HELP ME!!!!!

Follis is an old beggar minstrel. Long gray gold hair and oily stained beard. Used to beg out side the gate of the golden hall. Now wanders the land of Rohan. Shunned by the people of Rohan because of rumors about him being an orc friend. Basicly a coward but when the fit seizes him does some heroic deed. When in a tight position usally feigns madness. Clothed in soiled brown rags. Carries seed rattle, some type of a lute thing, a small stone knife and a small bundle of nick-nacks. Follis the Mad to other beggars he cackles like a witch and his eyes usally blank burn with green fire when excited.

Can he join?

[Thenamir]

Uh, Gil?

It appears that posts are getting thru without your tasteful editing...

Personally, while Thenamir does not have any experience dealing with elves, and may half-believe the old-wives'-tales about Lothlorien, I think he would be a bit more diplomatic to a stranger, especially one offering help in a bind...and while he may be angry, he is seldom foolish...

Just my 2-centavos-worth.

Thenamir of Rohan

"Do you know how to use that thing?"
"Sure...the pointy end goes into the other man!"

[Thenamir]

Middle-Earth to Gilthalion...come in, Gilthalion...do you read...over.

[Gilthalion]

Sorry. I've been out of commission for a while. Personal matters and work, and lack of internet access at work.

I shall endeavor to review and edit the posts, something I've not had time for, and have been a little puzzled by since the move.

[shieldmaiden]

And Gilthalion, what's that thing with the black rider? I thought that this rpg is settled A FEW YEARS BEFORE the war of the Ring and that the black riders came out of Mordor in 3018. You should do something about that post.

[Gilthalion]

Done!

The Black Rider is gone, and someone else has ridden by...

Sorry to have been away so long!

Good work folks!

[Thenamir]

Imbadian, can I implore you to make one small change to one of your posts? Where you have the following:

[Thenamir spoke again "Forgive me, Master Elf, for I am angry and foolish, as Taradan said, I too will accept your healing."]

Could you revise it to something like this:

[Thenamir spoke again "Master Elf, I *am* angry and weary, having too recently fought hard and come near to death. And if I seem foolish, as Taradan said, it is from being overcautious of recent danger. If you are of a mind to forgive rash and hasty words, I too will accept your assistance."]

I would *really* appreciate it. THanks!!

[Thenamir]

And also, welcome back Gilthalion! I am sorry if I was a pest about your absence -- I know how it is with work and family. Thanks for your hard work and kind attention.

To the rest - sorry for the delay in posts, I wanted to wait for Gil's editing and supervision before going on. Look for a new post within the day!

[ October 30, 2001: Message edited by: Thenamir ]

[Dwarin Thunderhammer]

FYI hopefully y'all realize, I am not mad, or anything, I'm just trying to play the part. I think a dwarf would be quite offended don't you? (not that elfwood did anything wrong)

[ October 31, 2001: Message edited by: Dwarin Thunderhammer ]

[Thenamir]

No problem, Dwarin. We know it's all in fun here. The only one I'm mad at is Imbadian, for making Thenamir act so foolishly. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

GIlthalion -- you promised some direction on what-happens-next. Did we stumble into your plan by deciding to follow, or do we need to know anything else before going on?
